S & J Spear & Jackson 42cm Cordless Lawnmower with 2 Batteries – 40V

Product Information

This affordable option from Challenge offers some significant upgrades over the smaller, less expensive version featured previously. Primarily, it includes a fast charger – so, instead of eight hours, the battery only takes one hour to charge. You might expect a name-brand cordless mower to cost a bundle but there are affordable options out there – such as this Flymo, which has a 30cm cutting width and is claimed to offer a runtime of up to 24 minutes on the included battery. This mower is about double the weight, and is twice as powerful, as the mower we just reviewed. It also comes with seven different cutting height settings, rather than six. However, it’s also considerably more expensive (although this mower is still cheap, relative to most of its competitors, like the Bosch Rotak 36 R). This high-quality Ryobi mower shares its batteries with countless other pieces of Ryobi equipment – ranging from impact wrenches through to hedge trimmers. If you’ve already got some Ryobi batteries, or want to start building up a collection of tools, this could consequently be a smart choice.

If you need a slightly larger corded lawn mower, this option with a 37cm cutting width is worth looking at. You are also restricted by this mowers 12-metre power cord, for a more extensive garden it would be best to use a cordless lawnmower such as the Bosch 430 LI which is powered by two 36V lithium ions. A lawnmower like this will provide much more flexibility in a more extensive garden. The included battery can be removed for easy charging, too, but a full charge takes eight hours. The mower also has three cutting heights, a 30-litre grassbox and weighs a manageable 8.3kg. A one-year guarantee is standard.

This means you can swap them around in between mowing sessions, if you have a slightly larger garden. Some people have faced issues with receiving batteries that are dead on arrival, and won’t charge up, but you’ll be covered under warranty if this occurs. This Challenge mower is one of the least expensive battery-powered mowers around. It has a 31cm cutting width, making it best suited for small gardens, and its battery is claimed to last for up to 30 minutes. This depends on the size of your garden, for medium and small gardens a cutting width of up to 38cm would be enough, for larger gardens choose a mower that has a width of 40cm and above. This will save you considerable time when mowing.

With the size increase also comes a larger grass bag. You get a 40 litre capacity with this mower, which is plenty for a small garden. The grass box is also easy to detatch and empty when you’re finished mowing. However, there is no mulching functionality, which it would be good to see on a mower at this price point. This Worx cordless mower offers a 33cm cutting width, three cutting heights, a 30-litre grass bag and a battery that can be charged in one hour. It includes a battery and a charger, like the others here, but additional batteries – or replacements – are easily obtained and not excessively expensive. The first thing you’ll notice about this mower is its price. Since lithium-ion batteries are still quite expensive to make, this mower is not cheap when compared to most corded mowers.Since it’s not very heavy, this does affect the performance of the rear roller on this mower – it doesn’t mow great stripes. However, its weight does make the mower easy to manoeuvre though, and it’s also easy to store, especially if you need to lift it onto a shelf in your garage or shed.
