Great weight, gives a really good mow
Took 3 charges for the batteries to “settle in” so we could mow the full lawn without a recharge, now does it with 30%+ charge remaining
I’ve used a Hayter for about ten years and love most things about it, except for the service costs which invariably, as it gets older, become more expensive. To the extent the last service cost was just under the price I paid for this Murray mower on a Prime deal. Seemed like a no brainer but I saved judgement until I used it.
So on opening the box the mower was easy to put together, and no crazy excess packaging which was refreshing. I tested the two batteries using their digital displays, both were around 85% so charged them until full to see if I could mow my medium size lawn on one charge.
The mower seemed rear heavy with the collection basket on the back but putting in the batteries balances it out. Easy to use and because it’s light it doesn’t need a self drive function. Didn’t think my lawn was too long but emptied the basket three times and managed to do the whole lawn on one charge. In fact after checking the batteries there was just over 40% left on each. Very impressed with its performance and the cut is as good if not better than the Hayter. Build quality looks very good, but guess usage will determine that. So far very impressed and glad I made the jump.
Great mowe
I bought this from Amazon warehouse for a reduced price, which is always worth the risk.
I found a video on YouTube which as well as reviewing the mower it also shows how to set it up which is useful for the basket.
I find the mower really good although I’ve yet to test it on very long grass but as it stands it works really well and the battery lasts a while although my lawns are not massive.
I would recommend this mower for ease in use the quality of cut/ battery life. It just makes mowing a lawn so much easier wish I would of made the jump earlier.
After first use. Firstly putting it together was a breeze BUT the bolt to the top part of the handle needs to be undone before inserting it to connect the handle. If I would have known that or it was clearer in the instructions I could have assembled in a couple of minutes. That’s the bad bit dealt with.
Charging the twin batteries was quick
Sturdy construction for plastic
Grass box fits easy
Handled my 25 x 15 yard lawn easy with half the charge left in the batteries (the grass was not too long and it has been dry)
It’s very light and easy to move
It’s quiet compared to my old chorded mower
No chord to cut, how many times did I do that?
I bought this because of reviews and the B&S motor although I didn’t know the Murry brand
I have no problems with recommending this based on my initial use but I will update this if I find any problems
No stripes or mulching but for me not an issue with two female dogs, ants and leather jackets ruining my lawn.
Very ligh
Wish I’d known you have to push although it is very light. Has to be fully charged to get round my small,lawn. Collects the grass well in the box reducing the emptying stops .
I have now used mine for a few months and it is fine. It struggles on grass 6 inches or more high, but its not really designed for that. The batteries charge quickly and typically last 20 minutes depending upon the length of the grass being cut. As others have said the grass collection box can be fiddly, but I don’t use that so not a problem for me. I like that it has two batteries and I know that had I purchased the single battery version of this mower (sold by another major brand) then it would not have done the job. The handles fold really well and it is then easy to carry with the handle on top of the motor.
Cordless mowe
Brilliant we live in a semi the garden is 75yards long mostly turned to lawn which can all be cut on one charge and to recharge under two Hours with different cut Laval’s this is the tool for the job very pleased with my purchase
Good Value
Very pleased with mower, easy to assemble and good battery charge
Good Mower -- Battery time is not long enough to cut both my medium size lawns -
One feels under pressure to dash around the lawn before the charge runs out — sometimes i can cut front and back but lately i tend to recharge between the 2
Otherwise very happy with i
So quick and easy
This is a great little mower, very light weight and easy to use. As its so maneuverable it actually cuts the grass in half the time it took with our old petrol mover. I would have given it 5 stars but for the grass box kept coming off due to bad design. There is however a very easy fix. Attach a bungey strap between the front of the mower and the back of the grass box. This works a treat, takes 2 seconds to take on and off and completely stops the grass box falling off.
The mower has quite a lot of battery power and is easy to push.
The mower is easy to use but the grass catcher detached itself too easily. When this happened I fell over it and damaged my leg which is still healing.
The 50 litres bag collector always drop off from the lawn move
The lawn mover is good and functionable, but the design of such 50 litres bag collector may have problem.
It keeps drop off from the lawn mover for every inch move. It kept drop off, thus I kept put back to its position.
Can seller provide me any solution for such annoying defects?
We have a large garden so battery runs ou
Easy to use – although the grass collector keeps falling off.
We have to recharge batteries in between the cut as we have a large lawn but cuts well
Great bit of ki
Lightweight, powerful & can mow my large lawn twice on one charge. Easy to change cutting height & clean. I replaced my self driving petrol mower with this and was concerned that there’s no self drive. It’s so lightweight it’s no effort even on an incline.
I have been left a bit disappointed with this cordless lawnmower. Firstly, if you have never used a cordless one before you will find it a great time saver and the benefits are pretty much the same on all the different brands. This one does include a handy battery status check on the handle so you can easily see if it is about to run out. Despite this, for this price bracket you will find better ones out there.
Firstly the mower struggles with longer or thicker grass. I found either the battery died quickly or it would shut down and need a clean before it could get started again. Also bear in mind whilst there are 2x 2.5AH batteries included, you will still get 2.5AH capacity and not 5AH.
Overall, for the price paid, I expected better performance.
Works great on my medium-large lawn!
With this being my first battery mower I was unsure as to how it would handle my lawn and I was most impressed. The assemble was very basic being almost primitive and it was up and running in under 10 minutes of arrival! I was too impatient to wait for the morning dew tp dry so took my brand new machine out for a test and I was thoroughly impressed. The lawmnmower is light and very easy to manouver while also feeling very sturdy in the hand. I found that you do need to make sure the bucket is attached correctly as a number of times I found fallling off due to user error. As for the batteries they did need recharging as the grass was damp and left uncontrolled for roughly 3 months however that was to be expected. I will also mention I bought this product with the rest of the 18v line up allowing batteries to be used across the tools which is very handy. This lawmower has made gardening more fun for me!
It’s fine and does the job. But I can’t do my front garden and rear in a single charge.
I need to recharge about 2/3 way through the job.
I’m mowing excessively at the moment because of the speed my lawn is growing at, so I’m using it twice a week and only on setting 4. So it’s a relatively high cut.
I’m finding if I leave it a week, the lawn has gown too much and is too dense. So not only does it not have the power to cut through, but the batteries run out much quicker.
It’s not a bad mower… it’s alright… but it just suffers with the issue most battery driven things do. Not enough power vs a corded or petrol one, and runs out of juice too quick.
But I’ve rated it 4* overall as it’s better than messing with a chord – especially for larger gardens, and also less weight/hassle than a petrol one.
You’ve just got to either do it often to keep the demand on the batteries down, or resolve yourself to needing to charge the batteries part way though.
Encantado
Estoy encantado con la compra, todo perfecto, de echo acabo de comprar el soplador de esta marca.
I dropped a star because the grass box kept falling off, I had to thrash it with a hammer and now its fine! The batteries last well, and if you charge them up after you have mowed the lawn and take them off the charger, they are still fully charged two weeks later, and probably would be for many more weeks. I find it easy to use and very light which is great as I am getting on a bit. Assembly wasn`t all plain sailing and I got the screw on side things the wrong way round after following a video on youtube where the guy did the same. There are lots of height settings which is handy if you`ve let the grass get too long. It`s fairly quiet-ish and is such a luxury having no power cable to drag along and get in the way. All in all I am very pleased with the mower, it has made the job so much easier and considerably quicker, so I can avoid the nosey neighbours more easily. I have only used it 3 times so far and will update this review if anything changes.
Eccezionale, mi ha stupito!
Ottima durata della batteria, con una sola carica riesco a tagliare due volte il prato anche con erba alta come da foto. Motore ottimo, batterie altrettanto buone. Le ruote di plastica mi sembrano un po’ delicate per se usato con cura un rasaerba molto buono. Potrebbe fare mulching se solo venisse dotato del tappo che ad ora non disponibile.
Briggs and Stratton in sheep’s clothing
I was a bit concerned about buying an unknown brand at this price point but after a bit of internet surfing found out that Murray are, in fact, the electric division of Briggs and Stratton, a name synonymous with lawn mowers. Looking at the price of some of the competition its hard too see how any of them present better value than this, as it comes with a charger and 2 batteries and a decent size 44cm blade.
A lot of the reviews suggest the bigger blade size makes it better for bigger gardens. As far as I can tell it just means you can cut your smaller garden a bit quicker. My garden is not massive ( about half a tennis court ) and this is perfect.
With the batteries in it is quite heavy. The assembly instructions are absolutely terrible ( and the manuals somewhat destroy the green credentials as they are about an inch and a half thick, so a lot of tries died in the making of this lawn mower ). The handle is quite difficult to adjust and to collapse down for storage.
Those minor issues aside, i would whole heartedly recommend this excellent lawn mower.
Ottimo
il mio primo utensile a batteria e non avrei mai pensato avessero questo livello di qualit. Batteria riesco a tagliare 2 volte il prato (poco meno di 200mq). Taglio preciso e grazie al suo poco peso e facile da manovrare.
Veramente un ottimo prodotto.
Quite easy to assemble. The mower uses two powerful 5AH batteries and there is an odd arrangement where you have to insert a dongle to complete the connection. Why is not immediately apparent to me.
Have only used it twice, first at the end of last season when I completed my almost 200 sq mtrs garden with battery to spare and 2nd, the first cut of this season, when I ran out of juice 75% complete. Run time is quoted at 36 mins and it probably exceeded that slightly. The batteries took less than the quoted 110 mins to recharge. The much longer grass at the beginning of the season is probably the reason I could not complete the lawn without recharging.
The mower is easy to operate, the cut is good, the cutting height easy to change (5 settings), and the collection bag adequate – it is bigger than most other mowers i reviewed before buying. When I bought it I couldn’t find any replacement natteries but I see they are now available at 85 each on Amazon. This is an extortionate price, so one must hope they last the 3 years limited warranty given.
Overall, I’m pleased with the purchase. It’s expensive but so much easier to use than the corded mower I had. Why not 5 stars? The expense and because I expect that battery driven tech will continue to improve. Although I’ve not operated other battery mowers, am prepared to accept that this probably one of the best available now.
Lightweight with a broad cu
I have used this mower a couple of times now and I’m really pleased with its handling and cut.
It comes in a large cardboard box and some self assembly is required to fix the handle on and to complete the grass box. It comes with a charger and 2 batteries which take about 2 hours to reach full charge. Just insert the batteries and you are ready to mow. Just make sure the batteries are pushed in well otherwise the mower won’t start.
The mower is lightweight and is easy to push around and as such the manoeuvrability is good. There are 7 height settings but I cut my grass the number 2 and it gave a really nice even cut which looked really good. There is no roller so don’t expect any lawn stripes.
The grass box sits on two fixings on the back of the mower and is easy to remove, replace and empty. Having read a couple of other reviews I did not encounter any issues with the grass box becoming detached but then my lawn is relatively flat.
What is great about this mower is that the cordless aspect allows you to mow more quickly (no cables to avoid) and it took me about half the time to cut both my lawns. The batteries lasted about 35-40 minutes which as ample time for me but the longer your grass it appears the quicker they will drain as the mower works harder. The big advantage was the 44 cm cut which was an obvious but noticeable improvement over the old 34 cm model.
I am really impressed with my purchase and my lawns look very good.
Update – I cut both of my lawns yesterday which took about 30 minutes and the batteries still had 56% charge left. This mower has passed all my expectations, excellent.
Update (06/04/22) – I cannot rate this mower high enough I think it is that good. I have used it to make half a dozen cuts of my 2 lawns which takes about 35-40 minutes and yesterday the batteries had 66 % power left in them. I use the No. 2 height setting and it gives a really good even cut and I have had no problems at all with the grass box detaching. The grass is collected efficiently and the box is easy to empty and replace.
Perfetto
Rasaerba a batteria ottimo. Finalmente liberi di girare senza cavi e senza problemi di rumore, fumo e manutenzioni. Batterie di buona durata, con una carica riesco a tagliare 2 volte il mio prato di circa 100m.
Consigliato.
Very good mowe
Great mower, probably more powerful than my petrol one, collects a lot better than it, I think the battery probably lasts about 40 minutes but I only mow for 30 so never tested it to the max, has a handy better indicator on the handle so you know how much is left anyway. No more pull handle or forgetting to get petrol; starts on a switch and the batteries can be used on other garden products.
Good but even 2x4ah battery don't last long
Thus is a great mower priced well (wait for sale don’t pay list). My garden is 8mx25m and it gets it done but batteries are empty at end so if you have larger garden you may struggle

Less time mowing more time relaxing
This is a brilliant mower with more height adjustments than most. It cuts time spent mowing with the wide blade grass collection bigger so less time emptying. I was a bit wary about manoeuvrability but it was so easy. With my old cordless mower after two lawns I would have to recharge, this did three and still had 68% charge. I did find the assembly a bit difficult but for a 70 year old woman what do you expect! Wish I had got one earlier. Absolutely love it.

Surprisingly easy to use
I put quite a lot of thought into changing from a large self-propelled mower to a smaller, lighter, battery operated one and have been very pleasantly surprised. At my age (82) having roughly 30 minutes of battery power is a boon as it means that I can change to another gardening job (or have a rest!) whilst waiting for the batteries to recharge. This Murray mower is brilliant and does everything that I expected of it. Its lightweight, very maneouvrable and cuts my somewhat rough grassy areas very well. Better than my petrol mower.
Best mower I have had
The mower is lightweight, but does my lawn perfectly. Easy to use and does both my lawns and still has half battery life left.
Great cutter.
Would like to have given it 5 stars but unfortunately found the grass bin didn’t fit very well. Kept falling off the back. Otherwise, good mower.
A Brilliant Machine
What a brilliant machine, I can’t believe I’ve struggled with a petrol lawnmower for so long. It’s lightweight, easy to push around, starts first time, a full charge easily lasts to cut my three medium sized lawns. The handle folds over neatly, reducing the storage space required and the two batteries can be easily removed for charging without any bother. There are three lights on the handle switch when fully charged which go out one at a time as the battery runs down and there is also a % charge indicator on each battery which accurately shows how much charge is left. This is accessed by opening the battery cover and pressing a button next to the illuminated digital indicator on each battery. The box collector is easily removed when full but has a good grass capacity reducing the number of times you have to empty it. The simple and easy to use height adjuster is very useful and accessible on the body of the lawnmower so that the one lever can be used to adjust all 4 wheels. I must say, I am extremely impressed with this electric lawnmower, it is well built, easily operated and extremely versatile around the garden! I thoroughly recommend it!
