This cordless lawnmower is pretty cool. Way less palava than using extension leads. And it's plenty powerful enough. Cheap shipping too

I bought this lawn mower as I have quite a long garden and really didn't want to be traipsing a huge extension cable around the garden and constantly tripping over it, so a cordless is very appealing. Also I already have a cordless B&D strimmer which I was very impressed with and the battery pack is compatible with this lawn mower, so that's a bonus. Delivery was excellent, next day, on time as promised. The mower is pretty solid, not cheap and flimsy in anyway, cuts well with an adjustable blade height and has a decent size grass collector. Simple to assemble and use. I didn't find the weight an issue it pushes along just fine, and you can just rock it back a little to get over any bumpy bits. So no issues there. A few years ago the idea of a battery powered lawn mower might have raised a few laughs, but this does the job. I was a bit concerned that the battery might struggle in the long grass, but overall it's performed admirably. It went through wet 6 inch grass fine and only bogged down when the collector was full and compacted. I'm sure that a small garden could be done on one charge. My rather large garden took 2 charges with a bit of power to spare and that was from a pretty unkempt starting point. One thing that I noticed is that the battery gets pretty hot in the lawn mower, much more than it does in the strimmer, (bigger motor and a proper blade to spin round, so no surprise there) but it does mean that you have to let the battery cool down quite a bit before you can recharge it, as the charger will indicate when the temperature is too high. So I'll be buying a spare battery so that I can do the whole lot in one go next time. Other than that I'm impressed. It does exactly the job I bought it for with none of the hassle of a petrol or corded mower.

I bought this lawnmower to compliment my B&D 36 volt strimmer and hedge cutters which are both excellent and would recommend. When my petrol lawnmower needed replacement I thought I would try the B&D lawnmower. The build quality is reasonably robust, and the batteries and chargers are compatible with the strimmer and hedge cutter. So all are swappable. As it is near the end of the grass cutting season,the lawnmower has not had much use; but so far so good.

Great service. Ordered yesterday (15th march), was given a delivery slot for today (16th march) between 13.15 - 14.15, and it arrived 13.10. We put it together and used it within 1 hour. We have a large garden, it cut well and battery just lasted the 30 mins.

I waited a while to review to give better feedback: firstly the advantages of mowing without a cord or the maintenance of petrol are huge. I think this will be the way to go for garden tools. The power is now quite acceptable for domestic use and can only improve. whilst the technology is still relatively new, this does a very good job at filling most requirements, except that the battery struggles at times and the total weight is a little high. why the latter i'm not sure other than build quality, which seems very good. It's lighter than petrol but heavier than a hover machine. so far each time has been point and go, easy to manoevre, easy to recharge and raise and lower to suit the grass. Cuts well and leaves a stripe. Also the collecter is robust and well fitting. so, if the weight was lowered a touch (for easier lifting) and a battery arrangement possible so that two could be used together for tough situations, i would give this 5 stars.

Product faulty on arrival. Intermittent electrical fault - works then stops then works then stops. Awaiting response to problem from Tooled UP. Asked for pictures - of an electrical fault!. Instructions very poor - had to watch a video on youtube to work out how to assemble the product. Lots of plastic - not sure how robust the mower is nor how well or otherwise the batteries work. Only good point so far is the cut height adjustment which is very easy.
