Einhell Power X-Change 18/33 Cordless Lawnmower With Battery and Charger - 18V, Brushless Motor, 33cm Cutting Width, 30L Grass Box, 5 Cutting Heights - GE-CM 18/33 Li Battery Lawn Mower

The mower is supplied with only a few things necessary to do prior to use, such as charging the battery and putting on the handle. Once charged the battery clips in the front. There is an additional safety key that also has to be in place before the mower is 'live'. The final thing to do before use is to adjust the cutting height.To use the mower a safety button must be pressed by one hand followed by squeezing the bar on the handle with the other. There is then a slight lag before the motor starts. Once the bar is pressed the safety button can be released. This sequence is important as it means that rather than applying power intermittently, I tend to keep the bar depressed which obviously uses more battery. I have a number of Einhell power X-change tools and batteries so battery life is not a problem for me as I can just slip in a new battery when the old one is exhausted. My garden is larger than the recommended size and, more importantly, fiddly with a number of sloping surfaces. I find a full battery will not cover the whole cut unless the lawn length is well under control but I would say the battery life is good. The mower is light (for a lawn mower) so works well on my slopes and is easy to carry up steps. The grass box is a reasonable and manageable size and the quality of the cut is good.This mower is smaller than the one I had before but it does not take me any longer to mow the grass as it is so much easier to manoeuvre. I am very happy with Einhell tools and using this mower in a medium sized garden. I would happily buy it again.

I received this a week ago, and have now mowed the lawn twice. Overall, I'm very pleased. The cut is fast and even, the mower is light and easy to handle, and the central height adjustment is great. I was a bit hesitant, thinking that a small (in physical terms, that is) battery wouldn't have the oomph, but I have to say his beats my old petrol-engine mower in every respect.Slight niggles are that the battery is a bit fiddly to insert/remove, and this is slightly louder than I was expecting (although not so much that it's a problem, and perhaps my expectations just weren't realistic). But these really are minor issues, barely issues at all.That said, I will mention that the battery I have (4.0Ah) is billed as "up to 200 sqm", and the "up to" part is really the operative expression there – meaning, definitely not more than 200, and could be anything less than that. So far it's looking like it manages about 100 sqm, and that's when the grass is dry and quite short. I'll have to wait and see how the batter performance changes over time, just hope it doesn't drop much.

Overall a mid-range mower and below are initial findings and tips out the box.- Very easy to assemble and get going- Remember to take the battery out and charger before first use as battery arrives flat and needs a good 5hr + charge.- Works OK on 2nd lowest setting - but on the absolute lowest setting - stopped several times and clogged the exit grass port quite a few times on medium length grass.- Waste grass holds quite a bit so that was good.- Used 3 full batteries to cut 3 medium sized lawns- I have Makita Power Tools and 18v batteries for those, so also ordered on Amazon the ‘Einhell to Makita Battery Adaptor for £14’ - so much better with my Makita batteries powering the engine! One Makita battery did all 3 lawns! (Search Amazon for above)- It’s lightweight enough and no cables was refreshing!- Yet to test on longish grass, but expect to have to start with high grass cut setting first and then work lawn again to lowest.- Hates any damp grass - gets the small exit port chocked up as it clumps and blocks on its way to the waste bin on rear.Hope these tips help - it’s OK and will do the job on small lawns, but get your batteries sorted (like I did by using Makita on them) and it’s like unlocking more horsepower!

Really impressed with this mower. Its easy to assemble, light, smooth rolling with a powerful motor. Battery lasted a long time and reduced time to mow my 3 lawns from about 30 minutes faffing with wires to 10 minutes. Delivery was very quick too.

So glad I bought this. Saw reviews saying battery isn’t good. That’s not true. I’ve charged it and I have a large garden. Battery does it all and I then take it to my elderly mothers and cut her medium garden and it does it easily. Cuts great and is light and easy to handle.

Got this on recommendation from a friend. Now bought the grass strimmer, nail gun and chain saw from Einhell. Battery is quick to charge and lasts for a long time. Easy and light weight lawn mower that cuts as low as you need and has a large storage box. Really satisfied with build quality and performance

This is my second full package - mower, charger and battery. First was returned due to a suspected fault. However, it seems this is just a rubbish product. The mower seems to work fine. For 15 minutes tops. Then the battery is either used up, from full charge, or overheats and stops working. Plugging it into the charger when it stops working doesn't tell you much - it's too hot. I don't have a big garden. Had planned to split it into 3 parts, rotate the cutting so that the daisies and dandelions had a chance between mows but still haven't managed to cut any of the 3 parts in one battery charge. I won't be getting a go with the strimmer now today either... Avoid. Don't buy.
