About this product
Keeping a small garden neat is easier with the McGregor 31cm Electric Corded Rotary Lawnmower. It's a 1200W electric mower that cuts through denser grass patches without slowing down. The winged steel blade improves airflow so grass collects efficiently into the box. You'll manoeuvre it easily thanks to lightweight construction and soft grip handles. The 10m corded power supply means consistent performance for the whole job. It's designed for smaller gardens where portability and storage matter most.
You'll adjust cutting height to three positions from 20mm to 60mm. The 30L collection box reduces how often you stop to empty clippings. Torque Drive delivers steady power as you work across your lawn. The folding top handle drops down for compact storage in sheds or garages. It's got a quick stop blade brake and two handed starting switch. This corded mower suits homeowners with smaller outdoor spaces to maintain.

Absolutely brilliant for the price
Absolutely brilliant for the price - and comes with a two year guarantee. One can't ask for more. If it breaks down in year three, at this price, one could just replace it and not feel like it had been poor value for money. Super light and easy to handle and manoeuvre. Cuts well and the collection box is easy to attach, detach and empty. Not as powerful as some others - but very could for its niche. It does the job and what more do you need!!

Quality mower cheap price tag
Great mower for the price. Cuts great, is lightweight and collects the grass. Nothing not to like about it

Light weight
Bought this last week. Easy to assemble. Very light weight and easy to use considering arthritis in my hands . I took 2 stars away because to change the cutting settings you have to unscrew all four wheels and reattach them to the required depth you want to set it to . That is difficult for someone who has mobility issues.

Great little mower
Having bought a Challenge mower a number of years ago, which is a carbon copy of this lawnmower, I knew what to expect and how it would be. Before using I sprayed the underneath with WD40 to help aid the grass not sticking and left for 24 hours before use. The Mower is great and powerfull, the cutting blade was sharp and made a good job of cutting. It's light and easy to manuouvre around the garden. Despit what others say the collection box is pretty easy to put together, you just need to make sure all the sides are lines up before you start clipping them in. Once done it's very sturdy. Power handle looks flimsy, but feels good to the touch. On the lower part of the folding handle there is a thick rubber seath, (not on the Challenge mower) This is to keep the power cable snug to the handle. It also comes with some cable clips for the bottom cord, as there is plenty of this and sticks out to the side somewhat if you don't use the clips. Ideal for small or medium gardens, I wouldn't want to use it on a large garden as the collection bin is only 30L

Ideal mower
Great little mower for the price on sale. After one use I'm more than satisfied with how my grass is looking cut wise. The mower itself is quite heavy however that might be because I'm used to my previous much lighter mower that some how lasted years so I'm hoping this one being much more sturdy will continue to do a good job! Long lead & the basket fits nicely. My only con is the wheels are tricky to attach and did fall off a few times during use.

Light and easy to assemble.
I brought this as my petrol mower had given up on me, and wanted something lighter and more reliable. I have a medium to large sized garden. This done the job perfectly. Had to empty the cuttings quite a bit but that’s because of the size of my garden and grass was longish. It’s light and you can set the level you want to cut. Great little thing that does the job.

Hello Dodge,
The supplier has advised for the McGregor 31cm Electric Corded Rotary Lawnmower - 1200W: The spring attaches the mower body to the grass flap and holds the grass flap down when the product is in use. If the spring is loose in the box, this is incorrect. Call the McGregor product helpline (0345 605 2063) for guidance on reassembling.

Hello Stuart.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for McGregor 31cm Electric Corded Rotary Lawnmower - 1200W.
We recommend cutting no more than 1/3 of your grass's length. For this mower we would recommend cutting grass no longer than 90mm / 9cm.
Excessively long grass can be cut with a grass cutter first.
Mowing excessively long grass will affect the performance of the mower and may cause damage to the belt or the motor.
Thank you for using Q & A.

I can advise the following for the McGregor 31cm Electric Corded Rotary Lawnmower - 1200W:
It's advised against this due to the power draw.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hi, there.
The box would need to be removed to empty it, so leaving it off shouldn't be a problem. The handle is also foldable.
Thanks for using Q&A
