S & J Spear & Jackson 42cm Cordless Lawnmower with 2 Batteries – 40V

Product Information

If your lawn is quite a distance from your house, then a cable or extension cord would be far too difficult to manage, so you are far better off using a cordless model instead. It would be great if these mowers offered a mulching plug or side discharge option though, but we didn’t really miss these features anyway as the grass collection is so good. Larger Lawns This little machine has won awards for the Best buy which certainly goes a long way when choosing a lawn mower for smaller gardens As the weight is less than 12.5kg, it makes it so much easier to push this machine around your garden and even to push it up slopes or around uneven ground is a doddle

A built-in rear roller that helps you achieve a precise, professional striped finish on your lawn. With a 35L grass collection hybrid bag. The collection bag has a grass full indicator, which will tell you when you need to stop and empty it. This mower also has a smaller grass bag which will limit how far you can mow without having to empty it. Since it’s not very heavy, this does affect the performance of the rear roller on this mower – it doesn’t mow great stripes. However, its weight does make the mower easy to manoeuvre though, and it’s also easy to store, especially if you need to lift it onto a shelf in your garage or shed.The battery LED lights is a great feature to have as you always know in advance when the battery is near depletion and when you need to start recharging it once again.

With the size increase also comes a larger grass bag. You get a 40 litre capacity with this mower, which is plenty for a small garden. The grass box is also easy to detatch and empty when you’re finished mowing. However, there is no mulching functionality, which it would be good to see on a mower at this price point.

Overall, we would recommend if you are looking for a reliable mower that can cut a variety of grass heights and extensive sized gardens, you should go for an alternate model such as the Advance Rotak 650 Bosch mower or the cordless 430 LI mower by Bosch, both these models offer more in terms of width and power. FAQs Getting additional batteries is harder than expected. Argos sell the lawn mowers but don’t sell additional batteries as well which I find hard to understand why. You need to call 0345 605 2068 to get extra batteries or a second charger The battery is a lot less powerful than others we have seen which explains the lower price level. Other batteries can be as high as 60V where this battery is only 24V. Unfortunately, the single battery supplied with my refurbished machine was faulty and will only partly charge giving only ab out 8 minutes use. This renders the mower pretty useless for all but the smallest of lawns.
