Overall, once successfully assembled this is a great little mower.
Based on my experience of this product all I’d say is;
1. Check the components are correct. Mine arrived with two of one side of the ladle assembly, as opposed to a LEFT and RIGHT piece. I had to get them to send me a new part out which took time and meant the garden I was working on, which this was bought for, couldn’t be mowed on the day planned/booked.
2. Be careful when assembling the grass box, when putting the sections together. Make sure you carefully click the pieces fully together in the way the instructions say.

Once assembled, it’s fairly light, feels well made and works well. Not the cheapest but its a good product.

Some problems with assembly of grass collection box. It was slightly warped and needed some force to put together. Also the mower was heavier than our previous mower and harder to push. Left lawn looking very good and goes close to edges but would not recommend for anyone who isn’t fairly strong.

When this mower arrived I couldn’t wait to open the box up and have a look at it. Was not disappointed, it looks the “Bees Knees” and was relatively straight forward to assemble. I can understand why a “non DIY’er may have problems assembling the grass box but with a pair of pliers I had it together in no time at all. Build quality is good, quite a robust bit of kit. Have now had the opportunity to use it a couple of times and can say I am really pleased with the results. Happy gardening folks !

Have assembled the mower it’s a bit fiddly, especially the grass box I had difficulty getting it to click together so a tip I used some silicone grease on each joint and it clicked into place no problem.

Assembly fairly easy. The grass box assembly was made easier after reading tips online.
The mower cuts well, but if the grass is thick or about 3″ or 4 ” it struggles to cut, even on middle height setting, so don’t leave it too long between cuts.
It’s relatively easy to push around and easy to empty and replace the grass box.

I don’t know why I haven’t bought this earlier. I have a medium sized garden and this lawnmower fits the bill exactly, man enough for the job, but easy to manoeuvre around corners and obstacles. As for assembling, I’m not great at DIY, but had no problems putting the parts together.

I’ve had loads of lawnmowers over the years – this is by far the best one I’ve ever had – easy to set up, easy to use, lightweight enough so as not to a struggle to use but sturdy enough. Cuts the grass brilliantly. Would not hesitate to recommend this 5*

Large basket and relatively quiet. Perfect for a small/medium sized lawn.

It’s cabled so it will always have that cable hassle but it’s a compelling price for what it does.

Easy assembly. Good looking and cuts very well. Good price too. I have had Bosch mowers prior to this one which l considered good but this one is far superior. Would definitely recommend.

Quite easy to assemble, but putting the grass box together was a bit tricky. Good range of cutting heights. Lightweight but solid feel to the mower. The rear roller leaves a nice striped finish to the lawn. All in all a great little mower at a good value price. I hope it lasts me many years.

I bought this Mountfield mower because after only lasting about 32 years my old Mountfield finely gave up the ghost. I hope this one will last as long. It is nice and light which is what I needed on my lawn at the rear of house which is on a slope. As others have stated assembling the collector box was just a little fiddly to clip together but with the help of pliers. After trying it on the lowest setting, I personally wanted it cut a little bit lower. I decided to put a spacer of about 10mm between the blade and the flange which now gives me a lovely golf course standard of cutting Finnish. I don’t know how it copes with longer wet grass as I prefere to cut little and often. The quality feels good and fairly solid for what I paid and I hope it will last as long as my old Mountfield.

Nice little machine, ideal for wife. Negatively doesn’t cut very short and roller is fairly ineffective. Other than that good value.

This mower was purchased to replace our 15yr old petrol mower which had started leaking oil. Looked up some online reviews which pointed towards this as being and excellent option.

It is very light and manoeuvrable and cuts right up to the edges, still need to strim the borders afterwards but it is much neater than the old mower. Also raising the height of the cut is done by simply moving one lever up or down to the height required; no more wrestling with each individual wheel.

This also comes with a roller for those classic garden stripes but this only shows when on the lowest cut. It also has a mulch option to put food naturally back into your lawn, although I the few weeks since purchasing the mower this isn’t something I’ve tried.

One down side is the cable, it took away neatly when mowing but you still have to mindful of where your cutting and make sure its out of the way – something which I didn’t have to consider with the petrol mower, I am sure I’ll get used to it.

The collection box was a but tight to fit together but with some perseverance we got there in the end.

Well made and easy to assemble, good price, easy to use, ideal for our small lawn, like the adjustment as well, good value for money.

Replacement for an old Mountfield 33 for which I could no longer get spares. Easy enough to put together – even the grass box which other reviewers have complained about – perhaps I was fortunate!
Easy to change the ride height which is a bonus – on the old model I had to physically remove each of the wheels in turn.

Seemed to reduce the mowing time as well which was good. Nice with the roller on the back to give stripes on the lawn.

Will amend review if I encounter any problems

postscript – Fourteen months into ownership one of the front wheels fell off. Not the fault of the buffoon who put it together – the wheels are held on by barbed washers (there’s probably a proper word for them) but it was rusty and split. On the plus side, despite the lawnmower being out of guarantee Mountfield sent two replacements free of charge. Probably not a big deal for them but nice to know they can supply parts and answer problems and quickly too.

Some effort putting the collection box togther but other than that it was absolutely.
Power cable tends to detach easily when mowing, but that might be my technique.

It’s great easy to use keeps my husband busy cutting the grass

Very well made and effective lawn mower. Quiet, manoeuvrable and cuts well. I like that the mains lead detaches from the mower as it makes moving it from the front lawn to the back, or to the garage for storage, very easy.

It’s simple to put together, except for the grass box!

I spent about 20 minutes trying to snap in the top lugs. Then put a ratchet strap around the grass box and tried pushing together. Still no good. Then had the idea to use some blunt nose pliers to pinch together each connecter on the inside of the grass box. Easy, done in a minute! So use this tip and it’s no problem.

Very pleased with this mower.
