Lawnmowers explained – help choosing the right type


A well-maintained lawn requires the right tools, and the choice of lawn mower has a big impact on both the result and the amount of work. Whether you have a small city garden or a large lawn, there is a model to suit your needs. In this article, you’ll get an overview of the most important things to consider before buying a new lawn mower, as well as an introduction to the most common types and brands on the market.
The article presents a wide range of lawn mowers – from manual models to advanced robotic and battery-powered solutions. The goal is to provide an overview of functions, features and price ranges, so you can more easily assess which type best suits your garden. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.
Factors to consider when buying a lawn mower
When choosing a lawn mower, the right choice depends on the size and terrain of your garden as well as your personal preferences. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.
1. Cutting type and cutting width
The cutting width determines how much grass is cut in one pass. A wider cutting width is convenient for large areas, while a narrower model is easier to manoeuvre in small gardens. Also consider whether you want collection, mulching (chopping the grass finely as fertiliser) or side discharge.
2. Power source
Lawn mowers are available as manual, electric, battery-powered, petrol-powered and robotic models. Electric and battery-powered models are quiet and environmentally friendly, while petrol models are generally more powerful and better suited for large or uneven areas. Robotic lawn mowers are ideal for those who want to minimise manual work.
3. Terrain and slope
If your garden is uneven or sloping, choose a model with a powerful motor and good wheels. Some robotic and self-propelled petrol mowers can handle slopes, while manual and lightweight electric mowers are best for flat lawns.
4. Maintenance and storage
Consider how much time you want to spend on maintenance. Petrol models require regular servicing, while electric and battery mowers are almost maintenance-free. Also think about storage space – foldable handles and compact designs can be an advantage.
5. Price and features
The price varies depending on engine type, cutting width and additional features such as self-propulsion, adjustable cutting height and collection system. It’s worth investing in quality, especially if you mow frequently or have a large area.

Different types of lawn mowers
There are many types of lawn mowers, each with its own advantages depending on your needs and garden conditions.
1. Manual cylinder mowers
These classic models run entirely on user power and are ideal for small, flat lawns. They cut precisely and quietly but require regular use to keep the lawn tidy.
2. Electric lawn mowers
Corded electric models are lightweight and quiet but require access to electricity and may be limited by the length of the cord. They are well suited for small gardens and provide a neat cut without emissions.
3. Battery-powered lawn mowers
Battery mowers combine the flexibility of petrol models with the environmental benefits of electric ones. They are easy to start, require little maintenance and can mow medium-sized gardens on a single charge.
4. Petrol lawn mowers
Petrol models are powerful and suitable for large or uneven lawns. They can handle long grass and do not require electricity, but they are noisier and need regular maintenance.
5. Robotic lawn mowers
Robotic lawn mowers do the work automatically and keep the lawn evenly cut. They require the installation of a boundary wire and some setup, but are ideal for those who want a tidy lawn without manual effort.
6. Garden tractors and ride-on mowers
For very large lawns, a garden tractor or ride-on mower can be a good investment. They can mow large areas quickly and comfortably but require plenty of storage space.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I mow the grass?
During the growing season, the grass should be mowed once or twice a week, depending on the weather and growth rate. Regular mowing makes the lawn denser and healthier.
Which lawn mower is best for a small garden?
For small, flat gardens, an electric or battery-powered lawn mower is often the best choice. They are lightweight, quiet and require little maintenance.
Can I use a robotic lawn mower on uneven terrain?
Many robotic lawn mowers can handle moderate slopes, but very uneven areas may require manual mowing. Check the manufacturer’s information for the maximum permitted slope.
How do I maintain my lawn mower?
Clean the cutting deck after use, check the blade regularly and keep it sharp. For petrol models, the oil and air filter should be changed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
When should I start mowing in the year?
You should start mowing when the grass begins to grow in spring – usually when the temperature is above 8–10 degrees. Avoid cutting too short at the beginning of the season.
