How we test grass cutting ability

We test each mower's ability to cope with cutting standard, long grass, rough grass, and wet grass lawns, judging how tidily it cuts the grass and what it's like to use it in different conditions.

How we test handling difficult terrain

Not all gardens are flat and obstacle free, so we test how the mower handles uneven ground, slopes, lawn edges, and how close to wall edges you can cut.

How we test grass collection

We assess how full the grass collector becomes before it needs to be emptied and how often we have to empty it to complete our cutting tests. We also assess how easy it is to remove, carry, empty and replace the grass collector.

How we test ease of use

We test how easy it is to manouvre the mower, carry and empty the grass collector, clean and store away the mower, adjust the handles and cutting height, and the comfort of the handles, controls and operating position.
