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.

Customers Say
Affordable, lightweight lawnmower ideal for small to medium gardens. Easy to assemble and use, cuts well, but wheel adjustment is inconvenient and wheels may fall off. Grass box fills quickly and is somewhat small.

A more powerful replacement for my previous mower.
I needed a replacement for my previous mower - a Challenge model bought from Argos around 4 years ago - this mower had a more powerful motor (1200W compared to 1000W) and was slightly heavier, other than that pretty much identical to previous. I does the job for the small lawns in our garden and for the several other people's lawns that I mow so if it lasts another 4 years I'll be happy.

Bargain Price and cuts well.
I just needed a cheap lawn mower to get the job done, and this is perfect. It works great. It's cheap. Who can complain? Yes, taking the wheels off to change heights are annoying, but if you're just someone who wants to keep on top of their grass, then put the wheels on the middle setting and you never have to move them again. It's worth the price. It is noisy but who cares honestly. It cuts grass. Job done. I'm very happy.

It does what it’s supposed to
This is an ‘it is what it is’ lawnmower. It’s cheap, feels it, but gets the job done. It’s easy to put together, easy to use, collects the cuttings quite well, and I really like the bright cable to make sure it’s out of the way. The collection box fills up really fast, so be prepared to empty it every few minutes.

Good basic small mowerNew
Only used once so far. Seems good, not really what I expected. You have to screw off the wheels to change cutting heights so a little annoying. Only have a small lawn so does the job I bought it for

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.

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.
