Lawn care is one of those reliably unglamorous domestic tasks - like emptying a dishwasher or untangling fairy lights - that only truly reveals its importance when ignored. When grass turns from mildly shaggy to thick-carpet-feral, the illusions of control we project onto our gardens falter. And so, the annual quest begins again: finding a lawn mower that isn’t terrible. Possibly even good. Maybe even discounted.
The UK’s number one garden machinery website (a bold if unverifiable claim) currently hosts a small war chest of modest deals - such as £50 to £100 off petrol and electric machines, plus the occasional "free mower kit". There’s also a lawn tractor that comes with a tipping trailer, which is either a generous freebie or a sign of just how niche this corner of e-commerce really is. Possibly both.
Let’s not oversell it: you’re not going to find earth-shattering flash sales here. There’s no glitch in the Matrix or 90% off. Most discounts hover around 8–10%, translating to slightly less painful pricing on machines like the Cobra MX515SPBI (was £698.99, now £639.99) or the ever-earnest Honda Izy HRG 416 PK, which lops off a conciliatory £50.
At the higher end, Honda and Cobra dominate with heavy-duty self-propelled petrol mowers that sound vaguely like low-powered motorcycles - and, at prices nearing £1,300, cost about as much as a used one too. You can get the Cobra M53SPH-PRO (yes, another entry in the ‘catchy-name’ tournament) with a Honda engine and a gentle £59 off, for anyone with vast lawns and deeper pockets.
These petrol machines are reliable workhorses, though few would mistake them for elegant. Starting up on a spring morning with the engine roaring away like a softly disgruntled wasp is at least reassuring. There's also not much in the way of digital wizardry - unless you spring for something like the Honda Miimo 3000 Robotic Lawn Mower (£2,600), which takes the concept of "delegating responsibility" to a satisfying, if slightly eerie, new level.
Robot mowers are certainly novel. The Honda Miimo 3000 is an oddly polite little machine - it comes bundled with 500 metres of wire and 500 pegs, which sounds less like gardening and more like setting up a Cold War-era listening post. It's also not cheap. But it’s £219 off, which is more discount than many laptops get.
It claims intelligence, weather resistance, and programmability. It does not, however, manually collect leaves or pet your dog. Progress, like grass, is incremental.
Several of the best bargains are on ex-showroom and demo units. For instance, the Stiga Combi 955 SQ AE 48V Cordless Mower is marked down to £549 (from £649), with an additional £50 from the original price already lopped off. These are decent buys, if you can cope with the minor risks: faint scratches, maybe some pre-owned vibes. Then again, if you wanted perfection, you probably wouldn’t be buying clearance garden machinery online.
Delivery is described as "fast", though like most things labelled that way in Britain, it’s best interpreted within limits. They do offer a "Start N Go" service - fully assembled, delivered, and demonstrated by a human - which is arguably more useful than any voucher code, particularly if you’re buying something with a steering wheel and a baffling dashboard.
Returns are accepted under standard consumer rights, though garden machinery is, by nature, bulky and less than fun to box up. Think carefully before committing to a lawn tractor unless you’re certain you won't change your mind halfway through assembly.
Probably not. But they will keep the grass in check, the neighbours quiet, and your weekends mildly purposeful. In our current era - where consumer purchasing increasingly leans toward the frictionless and abstract - a lawn mower remains stubbornly physical. Heavy, functional, and mildly embarrassing to admit you’re excited about.
And that's fine. It’s lawn care, not space exploration.
