Hand Push Lawn Mowers

Benefits of Buying a Manual Lawn Mower

Environmentally friendly

A push lawn mower is an environmentally friendly choice of lawn mower. As they’re powered by human effort, there are no emissions whilst in use and you don’t need to plug it in!

Quiet operation

As there’s no engine to worry about, a manual lawn mower is the quietist option when it comes to cutting your lawn. This makes them ideal for early morning or evening mowing if you’re pressed for time.

Lightweight and easy to use

Push lawn mowers have fewer moving parts and machinery than electric, petrol, and cordless mowers. They’re nice and lightweight, so they’re easy to push up hills and around awkward shapes in your garden.

Cost effective

Push lawnmowers tend to be the cheapest lawn mower option to buy, though they also cost the least to run. You don’t need to worry about electricity bills or buying fuel, as they’re very simple to pick up and go!

Key Features to Consider 

A manual lawnmower is ideally suited for small to medium lawns, perfect for built-up areas and maintaining shorter grass. As they’re powered by you, it’s also a brilliant way of keeping fit whilst gardening – that’s what we call multitasking!

FAQs

Can push lawn mowers cut long or thick grass?

Manual lawnmowers are suited better for maintaining shorter grass, as they don’t have the cutting power of electric or petrol mowers. For long lawns, you’re better off using a grass trimmer to take off some height before going over with your push lawnmower.

Are manual lawn mowers suitable for large lawns?

Although manual lawn mowers are best suited to smaller lawns due to their size and capacity, there’s nothing to stop you using them on larger lawns for a bit of exercise!

How do I adjust the height on a manual lawn mower?

Most push lawn mowers come with tool-free adjustment for easily setting the height of your cut.

Do manual push mowers really work?

Manual push mowers are worth it, especially if your grass isn’t too tall. They require minimal maintenance, making them perfect if you prefer low upkeep. Plus, they’re almost noiseless!

How to use a hand push mower?

Adjust the levers on the wheels to your preferred cutting height. Push the mower steadily on the lawn. Remove the cuttings from the collector and clean it off before drying and storing it.

Is it better to cut grass before or after rain?

It's better to mow the grass before it rains. When it gets a good soaking, the grass grows quickly, and the short clippings you leave behind provide excellent nutrition for your lawn.
