Manual lawn mowers

Lawnmowers and other petrol powered garden equipment emit CO2 as well as having a significant impact on air quality, especially in urban locations.

To do something about that, if you're looking for a new mower, you could choose a manual push lawn mower instead.

Not to be confused with the heavy, inconvenient 'mowing the lawn is a workout' push mowers of old, the latest manual lawn mowers are light, easy to use and hassle free. Simply start mowing; it's as easy as that! No filling with petrol, no passing the extension lead through the kitchen window, no priming, no last minute trips to the petrol station, just push and go!
Plus: almost no maintenance required, almost totally silent, lightweight (they weigh around 7kgs, compared to 13kg for an electric mower, and 40kg for a petrol one), no fuel or running costs and no pollution or CO2 emissions when using!

Nigel says: manual mowers are ideal for lawns up to 200sq.m. Their quiet efficiency brings a peaceful purr back to grass cutting and makes mowing a simple pleasure. Best of all no pollution, or CO2 emissions from using one!

Price from around: £43.99 inc VAT
