There are good lawn mowers for around 100 Euro, but you can also spend several thousand on it.
Whether you can save or should dig deeper into your pocket, mainly depends on the size of the lawn.
Because when an entire soccer field has to be covered with the smallest mower, are also 100 euros too much.
Whether fine English lawn, hard-wearing play lawn or easy-care flower lawn: He must be cut. The mower is often reluctant to start, because some devices make it really difficult. With a good one, that is, for the lawn area neither too large nor too small device with sharp knives, the work is done quickly. When deciding on the right lawn mower, the shape and location of the area play a role in addition to the size. 500 Square meters can be easily managed with an electric mower, if it is a rectangular piece with no trees or bushes. If, on the other hand, the area is crooked and interrupted by beds or trees, the cable is annoying, and a small petrol mower would be much more practical.
Lawn mowing is often strenuous on sloping land. You never mow from top to bottom anyway, but across the slope, but kilometers come together, when calculating the distance, covered with the heavy equipment. A self-propelled mower is highly recommended in such a case.
To give an overview, which mower is best suited under which conditions, haben wir Ihnen die verschiedenen Typen hier zusammengestellt.
Hand mower
With a roll- or. Cylinder mowers cut the stalks as if with scissors. The result is perfect, clean cut. But there is always a requirement, that the knife roller and the lower knife are precisely adjusted. and, this is also very important, Hand-
mowers don't like long blades of grass. Therefore, they are only suitable for lawns, which are regularly mowed at least once a week. What is very pleasant about these devices is their low weight (they are easy to transport) and the modest dimensions: There is always a storage space for them. Models with non-contact knife construction push effortlessly. In addition, hand mowers are not subject to the Lawnmower Noise Ordinance and may be used at any time, also on Sunday, to be used.
Der Vollständigkeit halber sei er-‘iwähnt: There are also cylinder mowers with a motor drive. They are very expensive, but for consistent advocates and followers of English lawn culture, they are because of the per. a must.
Electric mower
Electric mowers are available with very different motor power and cutting widths. The strongest can also cut relatively long grass. Luxury models even have their own wheel drive. The advantages of electric mowers over those with petrol engines:
• Sie brauchen keine Motorpflege und -Wartung,

Battery mowers are a new development in electrical equipment, which are particularly suitable for surfaces, those through bushes, Trees and beds are divided in many ways. One battery charge is enough – depending on the features of the device -for an area of 200 to 500 square meters. Connected to a fast charging station, a battery is ready for use after two to three hours.
Lawn sizes and suitable mower types
The new specialists
They hover over the turf and are for everyone normal, suitable for smooth lawns: Hover mowers are now available with a grass catcher box and a petrol engine (Flymo, Black & Decker).
Wire claws straighten the stalks and "comb" the turf, then the stalks are cut and finally transported to the catch basket: The fan mower fulfills three functions, it with petrol- and electric motor there (Brill).
A special knife cuts the stalks extremely finely. Then the mulching mowers blow the lawn clippings deep into the turf, providing fertilizer. On sale: seven model, all petrol engines (Tour).
petrol mower
Petrol mowers are ideal for large or difficult-to-access lawns. They are robust and cope well with post-holiday lawns or meadows. Electric starting aid and self-propelled device make handling much easier.
The mowers are offered with two and four-stroke engines. The difference: Four-stroke engines are supplied with normal, fuel with unleaded petrol and need an annual oil change. With two-stroke engines, some oil gets into the unleaded petrol, therefore there is no need to change the oil. Before the winter break, however, the engines must be carefully serviced. Only two-stroke engines guarantee trouble-free operation on sloping surfaces. The advantages of petrol mowers at a glance:
• They can be used anywhere and are freely movable, so that even bushes and trees in the lawn are not a problem.
• Sie sind als einzige für sehr große Rasenflächen geeignet, because electric cable for outside only 50 m long and must not be put together in groups.
• Sie sind sicherer, because they work wirelessly. No cable,
no danger, to damage this.
All motor mowers work with a sickle blade, that beheads the stalks. The sharper the knife is, the cleaner the cut will be, independent of the drive.
Rake once before mowing
■ Abgestorbene Äste, Herbaceous stalks and especially small stars can be thrown up when mowing the lawn and cause injuries. So collect beforehand.
■ Maulwurfshügel mit dem Rasenmäher einzuebnen ist die schlechteste Möglichkeit, because it dulls the knives. Such elevations are smoothed out with a rake.
