Five of the Best Lawn Mowers for 2015

Not all lawn mowers are created equal. Some work brilliantly, some work for a while and then fail and some aren’t worth the parts they are made from. There’s nothing worse than finding out half way through mowing your lawn that you’ve bought a duff.

There can be a huge difference between lawn mowers, with some being extremely easy to use while others aren’t even powerful enough to give a proper finish to your lawn. So if you’re buying a lawn mower in 2015, what models should you be looking at?

#1 WORX WG789

It may not have the catchiest name in the world, but the WORX WG789 has variable motor torque to help make light work of whatever you’re cutting. The only downside to this lawn mower is that it isn’t the cheapest, in fact it is actually quite expensive, but for this price tag you’re getting a machine packed full of helpful technology that’s been designed to last for years to come.

#2 Hyundai HYM40P

Another really catchy name for a lawnmower but this 99cc four stroke, recoil start petrol engine is extremely capable. You can choose from three height adjustments, allowing you to cut your grass to the perfect height for your needs. With Hyundai you get a two year domestic-use warranty, giving you the peace of mind to know that this mower will happily take you through two summers.

#3 Evopower EVO12536Li

The first electric mower on this list and thanks to its 36v 2.6amp rechargeable Li-Ion battery you can mow your garden without worrying about petrol or cables. There’s a 15inch cutting path to help make short work of most gardens but still providing ample room to get into smaller areas. You have a huge amount of adjustment available to you thanks to the 6 different height settings and with the 40L grass collector you don’t have to worry about a messy lawn afterwards. It’s not the cheapest mower available – retailing at a pound under £250 – but it should keep on going for years to come.

#4 Flymo FTL330 Turbo Lite

The Flymo is proof that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a lawn mower that works well and will keep on providing you with a tidy cut for years to come. While you do have to watch out for the power cable when cutting, it does provide you with a powerful 1150 watt motor that’s capable of cutting through a variety of materials. Flymo ensure that all their products are made to the highest standards, giving you a very reliable lawn mower without emptying your wallet.

#5 Black and Decker 3-in-1 Mower

In true lawn mower fashion the actual name for this machine is “STC1820CM-GB” but 3-in-1 is a little bit easier to read and understand. So what is it? Well Black and Decker have combined their traditional trimmer with a lightweight wheeled based that lets you turn your trimmer into a mower that’s perfect for use in small gardens. This is a perfect solution for anyone with a small garden or steep hills as the strimmer can easily be detached and used for difficult sections or edging.
