Shoppers on the hunt for a new lawnmower will want to check out Amazon’s latest offer on a ‘lightweight and compact’ option. The online giant has knocked 25% off the Black+Decker Electric Hover Lawnmower for a limited time, bringing the price down from £66.94 to £49.99, beating Very’s price of £52.99. The brand says the 30cm-deck mower is ideal for smaller gardens and lawns up to 250m2.
The hover lawnmower is also recommended for sloped and uneven gardens with it offering more manoeuvrability to get the task done quickly. It offers three different cutting positions from 20-40 mm, allowing you to select the perfect option depending on your lawn’s condition. An extension lead isn’t needed for most standard-sized gardens, with the mower having a handy 10m-long cable.
Gardeners needn’t worry about sharpening the blades between uses, as the lawnmower comes with 10 replaceable blades for ‘hassle free maintenance’. The Black+Decker Electric Hover Lawnmower is an Amazon’s Choice product; a highly rated, well-priced item that’s available to ship immediately.
The Range is currently offering a £20 discount on a similar Flymo Hovervac 250 lawnmower, reduced from £89.99 to £69.99. This option features a 25cm long blade and four cutting heights ranging from 10-30mm.
The Mac Allister Corded Hover Lawnmower is currently on sale at B&Q for £95 (RRP £100). It has a 36cm cutting width and four cutting heights ranging between 12-33mm.
Over 600 Amazon customers have reviewed the Black+Decker Electric Hover Lawnmower to date, with it earning an overall rating of 4.1 out of five. One impressed buyer commented: “My old Black+Decker GX300 hover mower packed up so I bought this one and I have to say it is quite an impressive little hover mower. There is a tiny bit of vibration through the handle when using it, but nothing really to write home about or uncomfortable, and it cuts the lawn brilliantly.
“My old hover mower had a metal blade, so I was a bit sceptical at first seeing these plastic ones, but they did a good job. It is light enough to carry easily and not all that noisy when used, and it does float/hover above the grass well. All in all, I am very happy with it.”
A second wrote: “Great little mower. Powerful enough to cut through some stubborn brambles down the side of the house. Great performance overall. Very lightweight, I’m able to just carry around in one hand if needed. Small enough size-wise to fit into a shed or garden storage bin. Can dismantle the base and handles for storage. Not much adjustability in terms of height, but it is worth the money.”
A third Amazon shopper said: “The item was easy to put together and did a great job as my grass was overgrown.” However, they did note a couple of downsides: “I did struggle a bit with the ease of movement and it doesn’t collect the grass, you will need a rake.”
Someone else agreed, as they noted: “Noisy and heavy to manoeuvre in comparison to previous hover mowers I’ve had.” On the other hand, someone else was left impressed, as their five-star review reads: “What great value for money. Flies across my lawn with ease, thanks so much. Even comes with replacement blades – perfect.”
Another delighted Amazon customer explained: “This lawnmower cuts very low which is what I was after. It has plastic cutting blades which give a much better and lower cut than a mower with one big metal blade. I would certainly recommend this particular model.”
