Top 10 Best Lawn Mowers in the UK 2021 (Flymo, Bosch and More)

When choosing our top spot, we wanted to find a lawnmower that offered something for everyone. That's why we decided on this electric model from Bosch. Although built for small to average-sized gardens, the 340 mm cutting width makes it a suitable option for larger areas too.

It also comes with a great range of cutting heights and a very respectable size clipping box. Yes, the cable is a bit of a pain, but as they say, nothings perfect. 

This compact mower is ideal for those with tricky terrain, flower beds or delicate bushes which you need to be careful trimmed around. The lengthy cable will allow most folks to freely move around the garden without the need for an extension cable. Just be careful not to cut the cord! 

The cutting heights are perfect for those that want a tightly-trimmed patch of grass, and while the clipping box may leave you making a few trips, the cutting width is ideal for most average sized gardens and lawns.

This offering from Bosch is probably the best manual lawnmower for those with small gardens. The cylinder blade cuts precisely like a pair of scissors, instead of pulling the grass, ensuring it delivers a clean and even crop. 

This model also has high-geared side wheels, which give it a free-moving quality that is not often found in other lawnmowers. When you add to that how lightweight it is, coming in around 7 kg,  you can easily see why this is such a pleasure to use. 

This mower from Challenge succeeds where the earlier petrol model from Mountfield failed. Since it's self-propelling, the task of tidying up a large garden just got much easier as you won't have to physically move the 20+ kg around yourself. 

This lawnmower has been designed with big gardens in mind, as is suggested by the 400 mm width and 45 L clipping capacity. We also like that its minimum height is much lower than the usual 25 mm crop of larger machines. Talk about a fresh cut!  

If you're keen to lose the cord and have a small to medium garden, this is a great option from Kärcher. The lawnmower provides up to 25 minutes cutting from one charge, as well as having decent width and height cutting options. Plus, it's relatively lightweight, making it easier to manoeuvre. 

The large 45 L capacity of the clipping box ensures fewer stops while completing the task. When the clipping box is full, a nifty LED indicator on the machine lets you know that it needs emptying. 

This cordless model from Worx features 'Intellicut' technology. The high-tech addition keeps the lawnmower at a constant cutting power, even when cutting dense grass. So you can rest assured that you'll get a clean finish throughout your garden. 

Additionally, you will receive two 20V 2.0Ah battery packs with every purchase and a charger that's capable of charging both at the same time. Although Worx don't explicitly state the battery run time, it's gotten some reassuringly good reviews online.

If you have a larger than average back yard, but it doesn't quite require the ride-on treatment, then this petrol mower from Mountfield is the perfect in-between. It comes with a width of 460 mm, as well as a very respectable 60 L clipping box which should reduce your trips to the bins. 

Unfortunately, this is quite a heavy machine coming in at 26 kg! The fact that it isn't self-propelled either, could see you putting in quite the workout when it comes time to tidying up the lawn. 

This economical lawnmower will make short work of most average sized gardens. The cutting width is ideal and the cutting heights ensure a neat and tidy finish. We really like the dual lever handles that allow you to operate the mower from either hand. 

The machine is also a bit of a steal, coming in well under £100, something practically unheard of for this type of lawnmower. However, the build isn't particularly robust, which could see you replacing the machine sooner than you'd have hoped. 

If you're fortunate enough to have an incredibly spacious yard, then you'll likely need something a bit more powerful to tackle it. Step up, the Honda HF2315HM! This beast combines efficiency, reliability and power to make large-scale garden maintenance a breeze. 

Furthermore, it has an ultra-wide 910 mm cutting width, a massive 280 L clipping bin and can cut between 30 - 80 mm depending on your preferences. The catch? It's very expensive. In fact, you could probably buy a new car for the price of this lawn mower. 

First on our list, this manual lawnmower from Einhell. It's available in two different sizes, 300 or 400 mm width, but we've gone with the smaller model as it's a little more convenient to use and store. 

This model has the lowest height option in our ranking at a tiny 15 mm, perfect for those who like a short trim. Our only qualm is the small 16 L clipping box, which could see you making more than one trip to the bin, even in a small garden.
