MurrayHM400 Cylinder Mower 40cm (16") 20 Litre Collection Bag

I read a ton of push mower reviews before buying this after ending up with a house with a lawn. The handles are not the easiest to put together and the design of them going inwards then outwards again makes them able to sort of twist a bit all the time. It would have been better being just a big upside down U shape. As a mower it cuts very well and is easy to push. Every one of these things has one huge flaw compared to any kind of powered mower - they are rubbish at collecting the grass. The grass box is effectively a 3 sided tray. The clippings shoot out of the mower in an arc and mostly land in the box. The issue comes in that a powered mower shoves air through a totally enclosed box pushing the cuttings to the back making space for the new ones. On a push mower the cuttings stay mostly near the mower and unless you stop every few pushes and scrape them to the back, they soon just spill over the angled sides and on to the grass. It seems no manual mower fixes this issue. The grass box is a bit fiddly to unclip and empty without spilling the contents, again because it is just an open tray, but you get the hang after a while. Overall I am happy with it as I couldn't decide whether to spend an awful lot more on a petrol or cordless mower. My lawn is rectangular and about 18 foot x 24 foot. Works fine for me and I do love the fact I just get it out and mow with nothing else to do; no petrol to buy, no batteries to charge.

Great value, easy assembly cuts grass great only downfall is the grass catcher is flimsy and useless but i dont mind raking.

I wish I’d bought a manual pushMower like this years ago. This one is sturdy yet modern looking. Easy for me to put together and cuts beautifully. Great value for money - Ditch your old Flymo and go old stylie !!

Very pleased with my choice, exactly what I’d hoped it would be, cuts perfectly, don’t go for anything lighter or narrower or cheaper, I’ve decided to get my lawn like a putting green this summer and this is gonna help me do it

I am giving this mower 3 stars, it is well made and fairly straightforward to put together (no tools required).The downside is the flimsy grass collector "basket" which I doubt will last the life-span of the mower.It is also a major faff to empty the grass cuttings - easier to leave it on and scoop out the cuttings. A moulded plastic grass container would be a more sensible solution.

The 1 star was for the blades being sharp but that’s the only positive with this!Despite it having 5 cutting positions, it is VERY difficult to get it going on the lowest cos there is a thick black bar that drags on the ground on the lowest cut & makesnit very difficult to do, consequently the next cut up doesnt give a close cut. The grass collector fails to collect the grass & it just ends up on the black bar.Ive used it several times to give it the benefit of the doubt imas i was doubting my own handling of it, but alas, i wouldnt recommend this to anyone - save your money & go for a different one.

This lawnmower is easy to assemble. It’s gives the grass a great cut. It’s easy to push and not heavy.

I found the product easy to assemble and it isn't too heavy. However, I found it very difficult to use. Not sure if it was just my product but it requires a huge amount of effort to get it to cut the grass. I also found that the connections attach the basket to the mower kept coming free so you had to reset and reconnect every 3 miniutes. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product unless you have super flat grass and of a length that probably doesn't need to be cut.
