Am really delighted with my mountfield battery operated mower. Have had a Mountfield electric mower for many years ( which I still have ) & so decided this should be a good buy. Got to the stage when I wanted something easier to handle. Ideal for getting round awkward corners & small spaces. No leads to worry about & I get the job done in half the time. Just charge it up after every use ready for next time. I don’t think it will be good for grass that has been left to get long, may cut it but think it might struggle. As it is so convenient to use this shouldn’t be a problem. I love it & look forward to mowing the grass now, not a chore.

Fairly straight forward to assemble, makes cutting a small lawn very quick, no issues with the battery, wouldn’t use if grass slightly wet or for large lawns as this is small mower. Does the job though

What a treat to use, lightweight and so easy to use.

Assembly all in images. Easy to cover various languages, but not too clear in a couple of instances.

Once assembled very easy to use provided grass not too long. Nice clean 30 cm cu

Like all reviews on Amazon I read the good ones and the bad but still decided to order this mower. It arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. It is so light, easy to pick up to move and simple to steer without the hassle of permanently having to flip an electric cable around the garden. The battery has lasted so far for three cuts so have not needed to charge yet. My garden is medium sized. I could not believe the power it had when I started it for the first time.
Only negative point is the bar to adjust the height of the cut is underneath the front of the mower and is very difficult to change with arthritic hands. Hopefully, the springs will ease in time.
Highly recommend. Should have bought one years ago!

Everything about this little lawnmower is really good. Lightweight, cuts well and is a joy to use. But dear oh dear, the online registration process would drive you to drink. You really need about six Philadelphia Lawers to get you through the process. Pity, it should be easier. Anyway, out to the garden now to trim some of the lawn and calm down.

I had a petrol mower from a previous life which was overkill for the 110 metre sq. lawn in our current property, which began to play up, so I decided to look at a more compact, self-contained battery option. I pondered getting the next mower up in the Mountfield Freedom 100 range, but decided to go for the “baby” option of the Electress 30 since it was almost 100 cheaper and, according to the specs, should be more than sufficient for our lawn size.

Assembly was very quick – about 15-20 minutes. Even the grass box that some complained was difficult to clip together without help, whilst a little tricky to line up the clips and slots, was relatively easily done in less than 5 minutes with a little calm and patience.

The instructions are OK and the battery came with 3 bars out of 4 charge, so I thought I’d give it a spin. Cutting the lawn took about 10 minutes. The mower weighs less than 10 Kgs, so is easy to pick up and carry using the handle “lip” behind the battery compartment. After the first cut, the battery had lost one bar of charge, so I decided to give it a full charge just to top it off. Two subsequent 10 minute cuts have only seen one bar of charge being used, so we are going to see how many cuts we can get out of a single charge, but so far, very good in terms of convenience and run time.

Our lawn is pretty even, although on a reasonable slope (probably around 30 degrees) and the mower has no problems with it at all. The height adjustment, as mentioned by others, is not the easiest, having to flip the mower on its side and then wrestle the front wheel axle into one of the 3 notches on the front housing to set the height. One thing to note is that even on the lowest setting (3cms) the cut is not super-short, but it’s not really an issue – it makes a very neat job of tidying up the lawn with a consistent cut.

The only other slight downside as noted by others is that the bolts to secure the two pieces of the handle bar are too short to unscrew the thumb nuts without having to take them off altogether, so you can fold the handle bar down for a smaller storage footprint. I solved this by purchasing some longer coach bolts (M6 thread with square shoulder under the bolt head) for about 2.50. I bought 65mm ones which is probably a little too long, but they stick out far enough to unscrew the thumb nuts enough without detaching them altogether, so the handle bar can be easily folded down when not in use and then folded up and locked in place again when needed.

All in all, it’s ideal for our lawn size, and having the cordless convenience of battery power is a real benefit. For the money, it’s pretty robust and solid, but lightweight enough to easily lift and carry, and does what it’s supposed to do pretty effectively.

Not so easy to assembly, easy to move around, cuts grass ok but don’t pick up all the grass in the grass box

I like that it’s light small and easy to use,yet powerfull enough to cut my Lawns. The basket is solid and not net making it easy to clean.

Nice light mower with easy usage battery. The downside is very difficult not adjust cutting size. Leaflet says there is a handle but this is not true. Found it impossible to get handle screws at the bottom to fit, so have just clicked the handle in place. It does not fold away but for the price good value for small gardens.

This has good battery life, power and is light to move.

Just received my Electress 30 li the smallest of mountfields cordless range and I have to say that after much research and concerns about its performance as a cordless ,I’m blown away. Having gone from a larger corded electric I wondered whether cordless really could deliver on cut , performance and length of charge. But I can say that it really does and is absolutely effortless compared to my larger older one. It’s easy to put together , took me no more that 15 mins out of the box ,was already 3/4 charged so topped it up to full in 15 mins. Made my first cut today both front and back ,back is approx 90sqm, front 60sqm, and having completed the job it still had 3 of the 4 bars of charge left , so on that basis I reckon I will get 3 mows before needing to be charged again , this takes 1 hour. You might think like I did that 30cm cut is not wide enough but it really makes very little difference in time maybe and extra minute or two overall. What I really like apart from the obvious liberty of the no chord situation is that it’s reall well built , solid and cut is excellent with the motor never slowing even in longer bits , it just cuts though cleanly and even though it doesn’t have a rear roller still leaves that strip effect on my lawn as you are going up and back. It’s also incredibly light and very quiet , it’s the quietest mower out there but as it so light you can manoeuvre round tree trunks and other obstacles effortlessly.
I paid 119 for the 30cm which I think is an absolute bargain as their 34 cm ons is twice that price. You can also adjust the height in 3 ways , I had mine on 2 as 3 is very low cut but good to have that flexibility.
So if you want to move to cordless and have a small to medium garden ,I would highly recommended this and don’t be put off by some reviews saying it’s a toy or not up to the job ..I’m not sure what they were referring to but it can be this mower as it’s solid well built and does the job perfectly.

I did a bit of research before I brought this particular cordless mower, and it hasn’t disappointed. I had no issues putting it together. The battery charged in 30 mins and I was off mowing lawns, for 20mins or a little more. I would definitely recommend this fabulous piece of kit.

So pleased with this little lightweight mower. I went for the small width cut as I didn’t want to waste money if it was no good. BUT it is so lightweight, I literally can use just one hand to push it. Battery lasts well, apparently up to 20minutes. My lawn takes 10 minutes so I get 2 cuts before re charging. A good cut, easy to clean. It took me longer to work out how to start the mower than it did to assemble. Literally 4 screws! Press the button first then move the red start handle !!!!! Really pleased

The contrast with my previous corded lawnmower couldn’t be greater. Just mowed my whole, if small lawn without a single clog incident, even though it was somewhat shaggy. Only used a fraction of the battery. My old lawnmower would have required declogging at least three times and the catcher emptied at least twice.

These things are always a bit of a 3-D jigsaw puzzle when they arrive, but that’s just 20 minutes of fun for the life of the product. If all else fails, you could try referring to the instruction booklet, but that’s not great.

I bought this for my elderly mum who still likes to cut her own lawn.
The lawn is only 4m x 7m and the mower cut it lovely and only used a quarter of its charge. I had to cut the lawn twice as it was long so I was impressed that it only used a quarter.
It is lightweight yet well constructed for a light domestic.
Height adjustment is a little fiddly for elderly hands but to be honest this feature won’t be used and if necessary I or a neighbour can do it.
I would certainly recommend for the budget.
