Our verdict
The bottom line
The Einhell flagship cordless. Self-propelled, rear-roller, 47cm cut at £600 with batteries. The Power X-Change ecosystem is the actual value — if you own Einhell tools, the batteries cross over cleanly. Otherwise the EGO XP series is the better cordless for the money.
Pros & cons
Pros

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£200–340 used. Test BOTH 18V batteries individually — mismatched packs (one new, one tired) give 10 minutes of runtime. PXC batteries hold value at £40 each used. Self-propel drive belt is the wear part — check it doesn't slip on an incline.
Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
