Our verdict
The bottom line
A perfectly fine first mower for a tiny urban garden. Outclassed by the Bosch Rotak 32 at £20 more, but unbeatable at sub-£80 if budget is tight. Treat as disposable — five years is realistic.

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£15–35 used. Massive supply on Marketplace. Cable damage is the killer — check end-to-end. Generic 1000W motor will run if it fires up. No serviceable parts — it either runs or it doesn't.
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.
