Quality lawnmowers can be expensive, so it is worth considering beforehand exactly what it is you want and need. There are a huge number of different types and brands of lawnmower, and the most expensive doesn’t necessarily indicate the best. The ideal mower is one of reliable quality that suits your needs.
Things to consider before buying:
- The size of your lawn. The type, variety and price of lawnmowers depends on the size of the lawn you want to mow.
- Whether your lawn is flat, sloped or has both.
- Whether you just require the grass cutting, or whether you want to improve the look and style of your garden as well.
Lawnmower types:
There are a wide variety of lawnmowers. Most of them fall under one of the following:
- Petrol lawnmower – Very powerful and quick to mow. They can be quite expensive and cumbersome to operate due to their weight but usually come with a host of extra features. This type is best for large lawns.
- Cylinder mower – These mowers are known for giving a neat finish to lawns and do not leave uneven edges. They come in manual, hand-pushed and petrol varieties and are preferred by those who have fine grass that they want nicely trimmed.
- Battery powered mower – Cordless lawnmowers are ideal for cutting around objects such as ponds or trees and completely eliminates the danger of running over the wire. They usually come with a set of two batteries so you can charge one while the other is in use.
- Electric corded mower – These mowers are very efficient and versatile in performance. They are perfect for any size lawn, so long as the extension cord is long enough.
- Sit-on mower – Sit-on mowers are very large and are effectively small vehicles. They are petrol driven and are only suitable for the largest of lawns. The user sits on top of the mower and drives it in order to mow the lawn.
Making a decision:
A number of factors need to be considered before you can find the perfect lawnmower for your needs. Consider the brand, type, features, specifications, pros and cons in order to purchase your ideal lawnmower.
