The best corded lawn mowers

Like many other budget lawn mowers, the Grunhelm EM-6118B has a very simple design. Its body is made of polypropylene, a plastic that has quite sufficient strength (by the standards of this technology). An electric motor is “hidden” under the housing cover, which, using a belt drive, rotates the cutting mechanism - a metal blade with a cutting width of 32 cm. With 1500 W of power, the lawn mower can quickly and productively mow both well-groomed lawns and slightly neglected lawns. But it should be borne in mind that vegetation more than 30 cm high is too difficult a competitor for this machine, since it does not have enough strength to “chew” stems of such length. The design of the mower allows you to change the grass cutting height in steps (25, 40 and 55 mm). Adjusting the height is extremely simple (although not very convenient): you need to turn the device upside down and move the front and rear axles into the desired slots. Note that when driving on very uneven surfaces (for example, along molehills), the axles can spontaneously “jump out” of their grooves, so the cutting height should be checked from time to time.

The mown grass is collected in a plastic grass catcher with a volume of 35 liters. It does not have a full indicator, but you will know in a timely manner that it is time to empty the grass from the hopper - when the container is completely filled, the back of the lawn mower overhangs and the front wheels lift off the ground. The handles are attached rigidly and are not height adjustable. The handle is not very long, so tall people who are taller than average have to hunch over a bit when pushing the mower across the lawn.

In general, taking into account the low cost of this device, we can say that the Grunhelm EM-6118B is a good option for those who want to have a well-groomed lawn on their 2 - 4 acres of garden plot, but are not ready to invest in the purchase of more serious garden equipment.

The electric motor installed on the Sequoia SELM1432 corded lawn mower has a power of 1400 W. This is quite enough to mow lawn grass and forbs in the garden, but on dense weeds with thick stems or long meadow grass that wraps around the blade, the mower may “stumble.” Due to the rather narrow body (working width 32 cm), the device can easily maneuver between bushes, flower beds and beds, so even when processing hard-to-reach places you can do without a trimmer. The light weight of the equipment (only 7.1 kg) allows you not to get tired pushing the mower back and forth across the lawn while cutting the grass, and not to break your back pulling garden tools from the trunk of the car.

The user can set the lawn mower so that the rotating blade cuts the grass at a height of 30, 50 or 70 mm from the ground level. The adjustment mechanism is not the most convenient, but it is extremely simple. To change the cutting height, turn the mower upside down and, by pulling back on the spring-loaded wheel axles, move them into the slots that correspond to the desired length of grass. To collect green matter mowed during lawn care, the tool is equipped with a plastic grass catcher. It is not very large in volume (only 30 liters) and is a little “leaky” (small blades of grass can fly out of the hopper through the perforations on the walls). But on its lid there is an indicator that signals the need to empty the grass catcher - there is no need to stop and check how full it is.

It makes sense to buy simple and inexpensive corded lawn mowers, like the Sequoia SELM1432, if the size of your lawn does not exceed 300 m². And for larger areas, you should choose more powerful equipment.

The Vitals Master EZP 321s corded lawn mower cuts the grass in 32 cm wide strips, cutting off vegetation using a rotating blade. The cutting system is driven by a 1000 W electric motor. This power may not be enough to mow tall and thick weeds in a very neglected area, but for regular care of a neat lawn near the house or in the country, it is enough. The mower has enough strength not only to cut the grass, but also to deftly throw everything cut into the grass catcher. The bag is made of mesh stretched over a wire frame. The grass catcher has a small volume (only 30 liters), but it is translucent - you can always see how full the container is, and you can immediately understand when to stop and pour out the grass.

The chassis design provides three fixed axle positions. By moving the wheel axles from groove to groove (this is easy, but not very convenient, because you have to turn the lawn mower over), you can set the cutting height to 27, 45 or 52 mm. The lowest height is well suited for “English” lawns, which are a thick carpet of special grass. The highest position is best for regular lawns and forbs.

The Vitals Master EZP 321s lawn mower is inexpensive and does not consume a lot of electricity. It has been produced since 2013 - enough time to make a verdict on what this device is like. In short, we can say that the quality is normal, there are no special complaints. If your plot is small (within 2 - 3 acres), and the grass is not waist-deep, then this mower will perform its functions well.

The Hyundai LE3210 household lawn mower is designed for caring for small lawns (within 2 - 4 acres). It cuts the grass in strips 32 cm wide. Thanks to the presence of “combs” on the body, which “tuck” the vegetation under the body, the mower can cut grass close to walls and fences. The narrow body makes it easy to maneuver between flower beds, garden furniture and other obstacles, and the low front part makes it possible to “dive” under benches or falling branches of bushes.

The lawn mower body is molded from durable ABS plastic in the “branded” blue color, characteristic of the entire line of Hyundai brand tools and garden equipment. The lever switch is located under the right hand. The chassis design allows you to choose one of three grass cutting height settings: 20, 40 or 60 mm. Height adjustment is done manually. To change the cutting height on the rear axle, you need to move the axle from one slot to another, which requires turning the mower over (not the best technical solution, to be honest). But the grass catcher is made well. It can be removed and installed with one hand, the grass from it is easily shaken out into a composter or pit, and the synthetic fabric of the bag can easily be cleaned of adhering plant debris (by hand or with water from a hose).

The Hyundai LE3210 lawn mower is far from the most powerful (its engine has a power of 1100 W) and “advanced”, but it is very light - only 6.4 kg. Therefore, it is easy to push and pull across the lawn, take it out of the trunk of a car or pack it in a closet, and even older people can operate the mower. In addition, it is considered inexpensive, since it costs much less than garden equipment with similar characteristics from more well-known and “promoted” companies.

The Bosch ARM 34 corded lawn mower copes well with thick lawn grass and tall vegetation due to the fact that it is equipped with an electric motor with a power of 1300 W and a torque of 15 Nm. When mowing a lawn, the device cuts the grass in strips 34 cm wide. There are small flaps at the ends of the blade blade. With their help, a directed air flow is formed, which pulls the grass blades up before cutting them off and lifts the lying stems. This blade shape allows you to achieve a more even lawn after mowing. Another interesting detail is the GrassCombs runners attached to the body just behind the front wheels. They grab vegetation that does not fall under the deck and direct it directly under the knife. These guides allow the mower to cut grass well and cleanly along fences, walls and curbs.

This lawn mower has excellent ergonomics, thanks to which the user gets less tired while mowing the lawn. The main handle is long enough for people of almost any height, and it can be adjusted in height (by changing the angle). Ergoflex vertical handles, reminiscent of an airplane yoke, allow you to keep your wrists in a comfortable and healthy position. There are control buttons on each handle, so you can control the mower with either hand.

The Bosch ARM 34 lawn mower is suitable for those who want to keep the grass in order on an area of about 4 - 5 acres. It is reliable, comfortable and allows you to easily adjust the cutting height (5 positions ranging from 20 to 70 mm) with one hand movement using a synchronous mechanism. An additional argument in favor of this model is the fact that almost anywhere in the country there are service centers that service Bosch lawn mowers.
