Why Choose a Walk-Behind Lawnmower?
Walk-behind lawnmowers offer a perfect balance of control, cost, and cutting quality—especially for small to medium-sized lawns. Unlike ride-on models, they give you full command over the cutting path and are ideal for navigating around trees, flowerbeds, and tight corners.
They’re lightweight, easy to store, and require less maintenance than their larger counterparts. Plus, many modern models come equipped with features that make mowing more efficient and less physically demanding.
Key Factors to Consider
1. Lawn Size and Terrain
Walk-behind mowers are best suited for lawns up to 1,000 m². For slightly larger areas, opt for a self-propelled model that reduces the need for pushing, especially on inclines.
- Flat lawns = push mowers
- Sloped/uneven lawns = self-propelled models
2. Cutting Width
The cutting width determines how much grass is cut per pass. Wider decks (e.g. 53 cm) cover ground faster, while narrower ones offer greater maneuverability.
- Small, tight spaces = 40–46 cm decks
- Larger, open lawns = 50+ cm decks
3. Engine Type
Choose between petrol or electric engines based on your maintenance tolerance and power needs.
- Petrol: Stronger and longer-lasting; ideal for bigger lawns
- Electric/Battery: Quieter, low maintenance, and eco-friendly
Features That Make a Difference
Self-Propelled Technology
Ideal for those with larger or uneven gardens. The mower drives itself forward—saving your energy and increasing mowing efficiency.
Adjustable Cutting Heights
Being able to switch between multiple cutting levels ensures you can manage seasonal lawn changes and maintain the ideal grass height.
Mulching Capability
Some models come with built-in mulching features that cut and redistribute clippings as natural fertilizer—saving time and improving lawn health.
Ergonomic Handles & Foldable Designs
Look for comfort grip handles and compact folding features that make the mower easier to push, store, and transport.
