Lawn mowers are for keeping the grass in home gardens and yards in order. Our range includes over 130 models: battery-powered and mains-powered (AC) mowers from BOSCH, MAKITA, EINHELL, GARDENA and other manufacturers.
Most use rotary blades, and some have cylinder blades. Cutting widths run from 32 to 46 cm, so there is a mower for a small yard and for a larger lawn.
How to choose a lawn mower
Power source. A battery mower has no cable, which suits gardens without a socket nearby and removes the risk of cutting through the lead. A mains mower never runs flat mid-job, but its reach is limited by the cable length. If you already own a Makita, Bosch or Einhell battery, it makes sense to choose a mower from the same system, since that battery will also fit the manufacturer's other tools.
Cutting width. A wider cut shortens the time spent on a large lawn, but the mower is harder to turn between shrubs and flower beds and needs more storage space. Our range includes models with cutting widths of 32, 34, 37, 40, 44 and 46 cm. A narrower mower is enough for a small plot, while a lawn you mow for a long time is worth a wider one.
Grass box capacity. A larger box needs emptying less often, though it is heavier when full. Some of our mowers have a 31, 40, 50 or 60 L grass box. If your grass grows fast and you mow infrequently, choose a bigger one.
Cutting system and height adjustment. Rotary blades are the most common solution and cope with slightly taller, uneven grass. Cylinder blades work like scissors and leave an even, short cut, which suits a neat lawn that is mown regularly. Make sure the cutting height can be changed: cut lower in spring and leave the grass longer during hot summer weeks.

Lawn mower FAQ
Is a battery or a mains lawn mower better?
A battery mower is better when you want to move freely without a cable and your garden is larger or awkwardly shaped. A mains mower suits a garden where a socket is close and you do not want to worry about battery charge. Our range includes both types.
What cutting width should I choose?
For a small yard, a width of 32-37 cm is usually enough, as the mower is easy to turn and store. A larger lawn is worth a width of 40-46 cm so the job goes faster. In our range, cutting width runs from 32 to 46 cm.
Do I need a grass box?
Not always, but most home gardeners find it convenient because there is no need to rake up the clippings. The grass boxes on our mowers hold from 31 to 60 L. The larger the lawn and the taller the grass, the more useful a bigger box becomes.
What is the difference between rotary and cylinder blades?
Rotary blades spin horizontally and cut the grass by impact, so they suit lawns in varied condition. Cylinder blades shear the grass like scissors and leave a more even, shorter cut. Most mowers in our range have rotary blades, but some have cylinder blades.
