Verdict — which one to buy
Our take
Stiga vs Mountfield premium roller. They share an engine family (Stiga ST160) and similar specs. Stiga has the twin-clip blade for finer cut; Mountfield has slightly stronger UK dealer support. For most buyers either works — Stiga in white-and-blue, Mountfield in green.
