Cobra MX534SPH review - Which?

However, it only has three height settings (17mm and 25mm) and no grass collector so everything will be spewed back onto the turf. I then slowly opened the choke and the 135cc Cobra DG450 OHVengine settled comfortably into its rhythm. As I didn’t have the longest grass to test it on, I did manage to find a local field and this mower’s high-lift blade performed exceptionally well, blasting the cuttings towards the back of the grass box in the process. Of course, the incredible power of that Honda engine will deliver excellent performance and cutting results like no other. In many ways, these two petrol lawn mowers are more similar than they are different: both use a 160cc Honda engine, both have similar levels of height adjustability when mowing, and both will do a good job on your garden.

Overall, if you don't mind about the noise, the Cobra is the better mower, offering four different speeds, generous height adjustments, three different ways to discharge grass, and self-propulsion, making inclines that much easier.
