Yard Force 40V 34cm Cordless Lawnmower with lithium ion battery & quick charger LM G34A - GR 40 range, orange

Bought this 37cm 40 volt mower 6 months ago in April. Assembly fairly easy - took about 25 minutes. I discovered a large mulching plug in the box, but strangely, I could find no mention of it in the instructions. Charged battery for an hour. I have 3 lawns, all have wavy edges, which of course adds time to any mowing. There are 2 smaller lawns of 70 sq. metres & 85 sq. metres, both on flat ground. The third is 295 sq. metres on a very slight slope. It took me 9 minutes to mow the 70sqm lawn, but then the weather took a turn for the worse, so I brought the mower in & charged the battery. Two days later I managed to mow nearly all of the large lawn in 39 minutes before the battery ran out. After a 1 hour charge, I finished the large lawn & mowed the 85 sqm lawn & still had 2 lights showing on the battery. Although I'm no spring chicken & have some serious health problems, I found the mower very light & extremely easy to manoeuvre. The design & position of the handle is perfect for me, allowing single handed use in awkward places. It cuts well & stripes ok, although my large lawn is now pretty bumpy because of the hard, dry summer. Height adjustment is a breeze. The bag holds a lot & once I got used to it I had no problem positioning it back on the mower. I was a bit worried having seen some negative reviews regarding battery power & assembly, but I had none of those problems. I bought a second battery which was on offer & recently mowed all 3 lawns in 2 & a half hours including cleaning the mower twice & a quick cup of tea! Previously, the same job with an electric mower was taking me double the time, & I was struggling to cope with cables, extension leads & circuit breaker & eventually had to get my poor other half to do it. Now, I can do it myself! UPDATE: It's April 2023 & although a lot of reviewers recently seem to have had problems with this mower or the batteries, I am happy to report that after mowing my three lawns twice this month, both my batteries held their charges over winter & gave 39 & 36 minutes use. Still very happy!

Bought this to replace my corded Bosch mower. Going cordless has been a game changer - no distractions of trailing leads. For a couple of months, it was perfect for my medium sized lawn.But the battery has degraded - I get max 15 minutes use before I have to abandon my half mowed lawn and have to recharge it. Its now a massive disappointment and I wish I'd kept my Bosch.The battery should have 4 lights when charged fully and run down to 1 when nearly empty. Even after a long charge, mine illuminates only 3 lights - the capacity is degraded. And it stops working when down to 2 lights and requires a further recharge. It delivers 15 minutes, maximum.Very disappointing, I can't recommend for anyone with a reasonably sized lawn.UPDATE after 8 months: wrote to manufacturer about battery degradation. Needed a couple of follow up emails but, within 3 weeks, received replacement battery. Good response.UPDATE after 18 months: replacement battery performed well initially but, after 6 months of inactivity during Winter, has also degraded. Gives max 2 minutes use before running out of juice, irrespective of length of charging cycle. Contacted customer services again - received 2nd replacement battery. CS confirmed that shirt battery life was a know, if infrequent, issue.UPDATE after 22 months: battery failed again - lasts 10 minutes, maximum. Contacted customer services again & requested replacement mower. CS responded same day, awaiting courier collection of my mower next week. Unsure whether repair or replacement will follow. Frustrating.Don't buy one, unless you want to risk being one of 10% of reviewers with battery problems.

This is a brilliant battery lawnmower, compared to my old petrol Hayter this is so much easier to handle, well made with a 35 minute battery time, it’s a pleasure to mow the lawn.

I read so many reviews before buying a battery mower and I am happy with my choice. The battery life is shorter if your grass is long, but for a weekly trim it is perfect and can do my front and back gardens, (85m square) in one charge, around 30min. And its a very quick recharge of about 40min. I do another task while its charging if needed. The grass box is a bit small for my use, I prefer to mulch anyway, which is an included accessory. its light, doesn't hurt my back, and folds away into a space under my work bench. Best bit is I don't have to drive miles for petrol, just so much easier to use than my noisy heavy petrol mower. Better looking lawns too!
