Le bac est trs bien pour la tondeuse main. Au prix de la tondeuse main (prix d’une thermique) il aurait t bien de le fournir avec.
Je voulais une tondeuse manuelle pour ne plus tre embt avec le fil et tre un peu plus colo lors de la tonte. J’ai command ce modle sans avoir rellement d’avis extrieur, il faut bien essayer pour savoir. A ma grande surprise, c’est vraiment simple utiliser et a coupe trs bien sans forcer, mme les grosses touffes laisses l’abandon derrire mon terrain, incroyable ! C’est nettement moins physique qu’une mauvaise tondeuse lectrique qui bloque sans arrt sur un terrain non plat.
Je recommande a 100% !
I have a lot of grass in several areas and been thinking about a push mower for sometime. I usually use an industrial Honda petrol mower. I bit the bullet and bought the biggest and most expensive one I could find (Life lesson, always buy the best tools you can afford). First time out it was so easy to use and a lovely cut, Plus it’s a stealth mower (silent). It was actually quicker to do all my grass using this instead of the petrol mower, by the time I’d have got that out and set it up.
Only gripe is that the instructions came in German and took some finding the right ones online so I could adjust the blades correctly before using it. I’d say that this is suitable for fairly large areas of grass as long as it’s even and no stones, etc.
Very well made and robust bit of kit. I’m happy with it.

Il tosaerba un buon prodotto, si fa un p di ginnastica utilizzandolo.. taglia abbastanza uniformemente. Unico problema che non taglia i ciuffetti di erba pi alte (le piega e poi loro tornano nella posizione iniziale) tipo le spighette.
Ecologisch – workout – stil – doet wat die moet!
As easy as using a walk behind petrol mower, but far more pleasant.
Can handle my1000sqms of lawns without any problem. Even cuts damp grass.
I’m 60+ and it’s just like going for a brisk walk, gentle exercise while getting a gardening chore done.
Wir hatten die Wahl zwischen einem Mhroboter und diesem tollen Spindelmher. Obwohl wir einen recht groen Garten haben, ist die Rasen schnell gemht. Das schne daran, dass der Rasen hervorragend aussieht.
Wir haben den Auffangkorb nachtrglich gekauft und sind recht zufrieden.
Die Aufhngung htte man etwas besser gestalten knnen, da bei viel Rasen alles wieder zurckfllt und man teilweise den Rasen nachtrglich einsammeln muss
Firstly, although the ad for this item above says Made in Finland, mine arrived in a box saying Made in China.
The grass catcher has some woffle on it saying Made in China to Fiskars exacting standards.
If you think you are getting something made in Europe, then think again… it’s Chinese.
That already puts something of a dent in the claims to environmentally friendly this and that. No it was made on the other side of the world, probably by people who are paid a fraction of Finnish wages, and is then shipped from there.
Out of the box there is some assembling to do.
The instructions are no more than a few diagrams, and it took a bit of figuring out getting the handle attached – about 30 minutes in my case.
The mower is heavy. I can lift it up to carry it down a few stairs, but you wouldn’t want to carry it far and some people might struggle to get it into the boot of a car, for example.
It does cut grass – that’s for sure.
I found that with the catcher on, the catcher filled every 30 meters or less, and I was constantly detaching it and emptying it. That itself is a bit of a pain, as it has hooks and screw-on catches to hold it in place.
Another problem was that unless you are progressing at some speed the grass is not thrown to the back of the catcher, but accumulates at the front, soon spilling over and clogging the blade.
I found I was stopping frequently to clear the grass from the cutting edge.
And then having to turn the mower on its side to clear more.
I noticed that it does not tackle long grass too well. I found that long grass simply gets bowled over, without being cut.
Thick, wet grass is REALLY hard going with this mower. It accumulates behind the edge of the foil against which the blades rotate and the gap between the two rapidly gets blocked, whereupon the mower jams.
On short, dry grass it works very well.
I guess if you have time, and the right weather, and you can cut every few days, this will do a very good job, but once the grass is more than a couple of inches, you’re better off doing two passes, the first with the mower raised and a second finer cut.
On flat surfaces it’s easy to push, but on slopes, particularly on rough ground, it is hard work.
It is wide, not very maneuverable, and heavy. It doesn’t cut in reverse, so you can only cut going forward.
I found that you really needed to work up some speed for the best results. On short grass, with the catcher discarded, and at a jog, the best cut was obtained.
My overall verdict was that this is a pretty solid piece of kit, but if you are looking for a lightweight, carefree, spin around the lawn, this will not meet your expectations. It’s hard work.
If you are prepared for a good work-out, then you won’t be disappointed.
In any event, after struggling for a year or two with a battery powered mower, I think I prefer the Fiskars. It is quiet; there’s no battery, fuel or cable to worry about, and I’m sure it will get me fit.
Final note. I believe there are two different versions of this mower.
I’ve seen some that have a reversible cover, that can send the cuttings flying out the back, but that doesn’t seem to be an option on mine.
It fits the in mower, and catches pretty much every bit of grass. You do need to adjust it to fit but after that it’s great. Light and well engineered. I bashed it against a few things and it was fine. It fell off once when I was asking way more in of it than I should of. Fiskars stuff is good

Das Gert ist sehr leicht zu schieben, und das hohe Gewicht hilft sehr es in Schwung zu halten. Das Schnitt Ergebnis ist sehr gut, und selbst bei sehr hohen Gras kann das Gert eine gute Leistung erzielen, was absolut nicht selbstverstndlich fr ein Spindelmher ist.
Ich habe nicht damit gerechnet das FISKARS keine Ersatzteile versendet. Da ich den Fehler selbst verschuldet habe, wollte ich mir eine neue ERSATZSPINDEL kaufen. Leider wurde mir mitgeteilt, das es FISKARS nicht mglich ist dieses ERSATZTEIL bereit zu stellen. Bei einem Kaufpreis von ber EURO 200,00 erwarte ich schon, das ERSATZTEILE geliefert werden.
Da dies hier nicht der Fall ist, werde ich NIE WIEDER ein FISKARS Produkt kaufen. Auch wenn es technisch noch so gut ist, aber mir widerstrebt die WEGWERF PHILOSOPIE von FISKARS!!!
Diese Meinung hatte ich, bis mich nach meiner zweiten Beschwerde das Kundenzentrum der Fa. FISKARS per Telefon anrief. Es wurde endlich vernnftig auf meine oben genannten Vorwrfe eingegangen.
Es wurde mir erklrt, warum es “derzeit” zu keinen Ersatzteillieferungen kommt.
Weiters wurde mir eine Lsung vorgeschlagen, mit der ich mehr als zufrieden bin.
Ich bekam kostenlos ein Ersatzgert zugestellt und durfte das alte defekte Gert als Ersatzteillager behalten.
Danke an FISKARS und ich kann endlich wieder mein Workout mit dem FIskars-Mher durchfhren.
Sport und Mhen, diese Kombination ist sinnvoll und macht Spa.
Ich werde in Zukunft die Spindel besser behandeln.
Pour tondre efficacement et en silence quand il me plat.
Certaines herbes sont difficiles attraper et il faut parfois si reprendre plusieurs reprises et diffrents sens.
Reue ce matin ! merci Amazon et les livreurs , a a t plus rapide que prvu.
Au dballage j’ai remarqu que le cache de la chaine tait cass 2 endroits ( photos ci-jointes ). Si Fiskars ou Amazon veut bien me renvoyer un cache pour le changer je vous en serais trs reconnaissant !
Dans l’attente , j’ai mis un morceau de scotch pour fermer ce trou. Je ne vais pas renvoyer la tondeuse pour si peu, mais a serait dommage d’avoir pay si cher pour me retrouver avec du dpannage coup de scotch 🙂
+ : montage trs rapide ( 5 vis + un cache sur le guidon ) / facile dplacer ( j’avais peur qu’il faille pousser fort et bien non ) / rglage de hauteur de coupe trs souple et rapide
– : pas de bac de ramassage inclus (c’tait prvu mais impossible d’en trouver un sparment 1ere vue ) / n’aime pas les petites branches qui peuvent trainer dans l’herbe .. il faut vraiment uniquement de l’herbe donc prvoir un pr-ramassage des branchettes etc / lames bien tranchantes mais pas de protections ‘anti-mains’ pour les enfants ( mme “l’arrt”, la moindre petite rotation des roues entrainent la rotation des lames et donc un enfant pourrait se blesser ) .
j’aurais mis 5 toiles si le produit n’avait pas t abim dans son carton ( pendant le transport ? ou produit de dmo ? je ne sais pas ) . Je reste trs content des 1ers tests faits rapido. A voir dans le temps maintenant ..
Tonte facile et agrable de l’herbe, subsiste et l quelques herbes plus dures tels que le plantain. Ce n’est pas un soucis pour moi. Je pousse cette tondeuse comme je poussai une tondeuse motorise, non auto-tracte bien sr. Ma pelouse fait 800m dans un jardin avec des dnivels, aucun problme. Elle taille galement les bordures au plus prs.
Montage et utilisation trs simple. Trs agrable l’usage et sans efforts. Les tontes sont parfaites. C’est vraiment un excellent produit. Quelques faiblesses : Le panier de tonte (accessoire en option) a tendance sortir trop facilement de son systme de fixation. Il est difficile de tondre les vgtaux qui poussent au del de 10cm. Il est aussi difficile de tondre prs des bordures et arbustes. Ma plus grande crainte est qu’une pierre abime les lames.
Habe deswegen 2 Jahre gewartet und mit dem 400C von Gardena rumgemacht. Der Staysharp Max ist eine ganz andere Hausnummer! Bin begeistert und hoffe alle Steinchen entfernt zu haben, weil das keine der Spindelmher vertrgt. Der Max ist leise wie nix und klackert nicht beim zurckfahren. Fr 226 Euro eine Wucht.
Wie auch beim Mher, einfache Anleitung und schnelle Montage.
Der Korb lsst sich simpel am Mher anhngen und macht einen stabilen Eindruck. Im Vergleich zum unserem alten Benziner mit Auffangkorb muss ich zwar fter leeren, aber dafr suft mir jetzt ja der Mher dabei nicht ab.
Excellent, tondeuse de bonne qualit et qui a l’air solide. Montage facile, utilisation sans effort pour une tondeuse hlicodale (sauf a niveau 2,5cm qui demande un peu force mais faisable), j’ai fait mes 400m2 en moins d’une heure. Trs satisfait de mon achat, esprant qu’elle garde cette excellente coupe et maniable dans le temps
Cette tondeuse hlicodale est vraiment ce qui se fait de mieux. La hauteur de coupe est rglable. La projection de l’herbe coupe se fait vers l’avant et non sur les pieds. Elle n’est pas bruyante et cologique, il est donc possible de l’utiliser tout moment (mme le dimanche, voire la nuit). Comme pour tout autre modle concurrent, il ne faut pas attendre que l’herbe soit haute et aussi ne pas utiliser sur terrain pentu : sinon c’est du sport !
Nous avons environ 400m2 d’herbe assez drue en lotissement. Conseils aux futurs utilisateurs: tondre trs rgulirement pour viter de se laisser dpasser car plus dure est la manuvre. Cette tondeuse est idale pour le gazon anglais sans arbre! Sinon c’est physique mais comme je ne fais plus d’exercice, un bon vieux morceau des annes 80 et en avant. Pour les jours de tonte tranquille, c’est idal. Cet outil coupe la perfection et n’effraie ni les chats ni les oiseaux. Pas la peine de panier, l’herbe coupe vient gentiment recouvrir le sol et fournir un engrais naturel. Franchement c’est gnial. Nous allons essayer de nous lasser de tondeuse thermique mais cela va demander un peu plus d’entretien y compris l’hiver puisque l’ide c’est d’tre “ahead of the game”
Tondeuse qui ncessite une grande dbauche d’nergie… efficace sur pelouse pas trop haute, ni humide
Coupe trs propre et trs bonne qualit. Mais trs lourde.
This is an excellent mower if a bit expensive for something without a motor. Saying that, it cuts my 1/3 acre of pretty rough grass with far less grief than dragging out the petroleum mower. It is also amazingly quiet. The only short comings I have found so far are that it is quite heavy and the height adjustment is fairly coarse. A half setting between the lowest and the next one up would be nice. On the whole I am very satisfied.

After owning a self-propelled 22″ mulching mower for the last ten years, it finally required replacing. It’s always appealed to me to use a reel mower for that manicured look that’s just not achievable with a rotary mover. For context: My lawn is about 250 square metres with practically no weeds but it’s in Ireland… we have extremely lush, tough grass and it’s considered as one of the most challenging grasses it the world to cut successfully.
When it arrived, it was pretty simple to assemble, four bolts with nuts for the handles and it attaches to the main body with clips. If you can’t assemble this, you shouldn’t be allowed near something with blades 😉
On my first cut, the lawn hadn’t been cut in a few weeks. So first cut I brought it down by a couple of inches. Was easy enough and was pleasantly surprised at how well it cut the lawn. I could have left it at that and been very happy…
Now that the lawn was back under control, I decided to drop the height lower than I’d ever had it cut before. Now this was tough going! I was cutting down about an 1.5″ lower than I’d ever managed with the rotary mover. I was cutting a lot of tangled, unscarified grass. This required a lot of effort and was quiet a work out. In fairness, I was really cutting grass roots and the previous chopped grass at this stage, close to 4″ down from where I’d started. When I’d finished, caught my breath, finished contemplating searching Amazon for a defibrillator and looked back at my lawn… it was glorious! Virtually no discharge on the lawn and it looked manicured! Noticeably manicured too. The grass was cut smoothly, not shredded like a rotary mower. Amazing result!
A week later I’ve cut my lawn twice since… because it’s now so easy to cut! The new growth is effortless to cut and the mower has virtually no resistance to it. As a result I’m cutting the lawn in 15 minutes of calm quietness without even breaking a sweat. The rotary mulching mower to longer to cut it surprisingly.
I love this mower… simple and hassle free to use (no petrol… no engine noise… no pulling that cord and cursing… neighbours are delighted with the lack of noise and profanities) but the quality of the cut is what makes it so special. No rotary mower can finish a lawn like this.
Pity it doesn’t have a roller on it, as the only why it could be improved was to properly strip your lawn.
All in all, fantastic piece of equipment, couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Super . Marche bien et ce n’est pas plus dur qu’une tondeuse thermique
I like it it was easy to put together and to install onto the mower.
Little small but I understand if it was to big you would be
Kicking it other then nice.
Easy to use. Does not fall off like the other reviews state.
Conforme au descriptif. Pour le moment la lame hlicodale coupe bien.Seule petit bmol la notice est crite en Allemand.
Excellent product the blades needs to be set and the handle needs to be asambled after that it works well have used for about three weeks no problem whould be nice if suppiled whith grass box.

Never going back to gasoline powered mower. We have about 500m of grass, takes about the same amount of time to cut it, but you have to do it a bit more often.
Erste Erfahrung und super zufrieden.
Macht Spa und man ist im guten Tempo auch fix dabei und der Rasen sieht toll aus.
per averlo ho dovuto aspettarlo pi di un mese( nonostante i 5/6 giorni preventivati) , strano perch nonostante l’emergenza, Amazon ha sempre consegnato puntuale tutti i pacchi.
a parte questo inconveniente, questa era la prima volta che prendevo in mano un tosaerba del genere, quindi non ho termini di paragone ma ne sono soddisfatta.
e’ ottimo per giardini in piano, dove si vuole un’altezza sempre bassa. Un po’ meno semplice l’utilizzo tra cespugli ed alberi e dove l’erba cresce di pi.
si possono avere diverse regolazioni di altezza, ma non taglia i fili d’erba e i fiori alti pi di 20 cm( rimane lo stelo)
un’ottimo esercizio fisico e si pu utilizzare a qualsiasi ora perch non disturba il vicinato.
Idal pour 200m3 de pelouse
Pas de bruit et juste l odeur de l’herbe coupe
Il faut parfois savoir revenir l essentiel
1) essendo elicoidale, fa molta fatica a tagliare l’erba alta e soprattutto le infestanti che nella maggior parte dei casi presentano steli molto lunghi e foglie larghe
2)evitare prati con presenza di sassi, perch rovinerebbero le lame molto precocemente, e il metodo di affilatura abbastanza complicato (vedere tutorial su youtube). voci di corridoio dicono che le lame possono restare affilate per molti anni se utilizzate su “prati puliti”, ma per ora non posso ancora confermare
3)un altro problema molto evidente e il cesto di raccolta che essendo posto davanti, non permette di arrivare fino elle estremit dei bordi a ridosso di muri, ma si pu tranquillamente ovviare ripassando successivamente senza cestello
4)sempre in merito al cestello: con tagli bassi, tende a staccarsi, ma per chi possiede un prato di festuca e poa come il sottoscritto, posso assicurare che con tagli sopra 6cm il problema non sussiste
per il resto tutto gi stato detto: niente fili, niente costosissime manutenzioni, niente rumori (potete tagliare a quasiasi ora del giorno e della notte) taglio elicoidale da 2,5 a 10cm ecc..
vi tengo aggiornati
After reviewing lots of mowers (push, electric and petrol) I decided to purchase a Fiskars StaySharp Max. Its probably the best quality push mower you can buy, is more environmentally friendly than other mowers and you’re not having to mess around with any extension cables.
After owning it for several months and cutting my lawns several times per week I think I know enough about it to write a review.
When it’s delivered its shipped in a large box with the handle flat-packed. Making up the handle and attaching it to the mower is fairly easy and I would suspect most wouldn’t have any issues. There is a plastic cover, covering the blades but be mindful once you’ve taken the plastic cover off… The blades will have you’re fingers off! I’ve read reviews criticising the weight as being too light… Ignore them… Its a decent weight and easy to push around. Some people may actually struggle with the weight of it but again for most I would have thought it would be fine. As a push mower it’s reliant on you to move the blades. It does give you a bigger work out than other mowers but for me that was another reason why I bought it. Due to the chain mechanism and the weight its not too difficult to push and it will depend on the length of your grass.
Size wise it is a decent sized unit. Not as long as other mowers but is fairly wide. I have found it to be a bit awkward to manoeuvre and cut right close up to walls and in the corners of the lawn. It does get close to where the lawn meets the wall however not quite close enough so I do need to buy a strimmer to neaten the edges. It’s not an issue for me (typical bloke happy to get some more toys to play with) but it could be a deal breaker for others. It does get fairly close but not quite there.
The quality of cut from this mower is brilliant. I’ve read reviews saying you will struggle to cut long grass and although it may be true for some, if you can get your weight behind it and give it a fair push it cuts grass up no problem! Once you’ve done your first cut with this it will be a lot easier for you.
I’ve found that going around the edges first (the width of two mowers) and then snaking up and down the lawn is the easiest way of using this mower and it gives a great finish (minus a little around the very edge). If you’re after lines on the grass you can achieve them. Granted they are not as sharp as using an electirc/petrol cylinder mower that the professionals use but you can get them.
After reading reviews about the grass catcher I didn’t bother buying one. They sound cr*p and it cuts the grass up that good you don’t need one anyway. All that is needed is a quick sweep on the paths with a brush. Plus leaving the grass cuttings on the grass acts as a little feed for the grass that is left. Also as there is no electric I can go out mowing in the rain
After using this for a few months my lawns look darker and healthier than my neighbours. I’ve got the hang of moving it around and can manage the very edges with a small inexpensive strimmer. I get a nice little work out, it’s easy to store, next to no maintenance, looks good and I can highly recommend it (just read other reviews out there) if your happy with a little extra work than a normal mower than this is the one for you.

Tout simplement mon meilleur achat sur Amazon.Pour un jardin de 500 m2.Rien dire fait le job la pelouse est trs jolie impeccable ! Achet avec le bac de ramassage ou vous pouvez l’utiliser en mulching. Un bel achat pour la plante conomique.Evite 35 euros d’essence par an et 15 euros de matriels pour la rvision sur une tondeuse thermique. Si vous hsitez avec une lectrique sur une petite surface vous ne serez pas ennuy avec le fil!
Nous avons un petit carr de pelouse d’environ 200 m, et investir dans une tondeuse thermique ou lectrique n’tait pas forcment le meilleur choix, surtout en ce qui concerne les cots d’entretien, et le cot d’utilisation.
Donc nous avons investi dans une machine manuelle et le choix c’est port sur celle-ci (largeur de coupe plus importante que la majorit des autres modles).
Plus chre que ses concurrentes, mais pour une premire impression, elle se monte et se manie trs facilement. Avec un bac de ramassage, ce serait top. Si l’herbe est un peu haute au premier passage, il faut repasser une seconde fois car il reste quelques brins.Malgr tout, si les tontes sont faites rgulirement, le problme ne se posera plus.
Enfin, le nettoyage de la machine aprs la tonte se fait facilement.
Alors on va pas se mentir, c’est sportif. J’ai test sur une petite parcelle pour commencer (30m) et le rsultat est bluffant. C’est net, propre, on peut tondre n’importe quand sans gner les voisins.
Tondre une grande surface ne mettra pas plus de temps qu’avec une tondeuse autoporte (surtout si vous courez), mais clairement vous sentirez bien vos paules.
Facile monter, ne prend pas de place et taille de coupe rglable facilement.
Trs satisfait de l’achat, je ne comprends pas cette valuation de la surface car on fait 600, 700 ou plus (1500 pour moi) m2 sans problmes, d’autant plus si on le fait rgulirement et qu’il n’y a pas trop a recouper. Vive le sport utile et cologique, reste a voir si la bte tiendra cette cadence, pour le bonhomme aucun soucis!!
