cheap and cheerful lawn mower
Advantages: easy to use and store Disadvantages: unsuitable for large lawns
...price and suitability. The Qualcast Easi Trak 320 was in the right price range and with positive reviews. The cheapest price was from Amazon at £57.20. This included free delivery within 10 days. I ordered on a Saturday and by the next Wednesday it was on my doorstep - the same day I might have driven to B&Q.
The product was well packed. It required assembly but that was very easy to do; I managed it in 15 minutes without even wearing my glasses. ... ...as it has a handle on the top that is positioned at the point of balance. Two palm sized wing nuts enable the handle to be folded back to take up less storage space. While Qualcast is a British name, it is part of the Bosch group. ...

Simple No Thrills Lawnmower
Advantages: Light, large cutting blade width Disadvantages: Loud!
Im not a big gardening fan. In fact I hate it. Where ever I have lived I have put crazy pathing everywhere however the house Im in now has a huge lawn and crazy paving isnt allowed so I had to purchase a lown mower. I purchased this no thrills lawn mower and have being suprisignly happy. I admit it doesnt look much however it does the trick. It is mains operated and you have a massive 20 metres worth of cord supplied which is plenty for most people. ... ...it does everything it says on the tin. The blades have a width of 30 cm and is 5cm from the ground in height which gives a nice spongy feel lawn which I has happily suprised with. It is cylinder powered which is quite loud and midnight lawnmowing should be avoided if you value your relationship with the old neighbours. It is quite light in comparison with other lawn mowers and doesnt require much power to push around the garden. The main bars also ...

Not a general purpose mower
Advantages: Light Disadvantages: Doesn't cut clean, not powerfull, can only use when completely dry
Basically it is not powerfull enough and no matter how much I adjusted the blades, it would not cut the grass properly.
Cylinder mowers are ideally meant for quality, flat lawns where you're just making a short cut at frequent intervals. A powerful cylinder mower could probably handle longer grass but this one can not. Nor can it handle damp grass or uneven ground. It could just be that my lawn is not suitable for this mower, rather than the other ... ...using this mower, my lawn looked ok because the roller had flattened the grass into nice stripes but a day later, the wind will blow the stripes out and the grass appeared as long as it was previously. Adjusting the cutting blades didn't work either, they were either too close and banging into each other on every rotation (but at least it cut the grass) or they were too far apart and didn't cut.
Overall, very poor mower considering the price. I ...

Qualcast 35S
Advantages: Can have a scarifier attached Disadvantages: Poor build quality & design.
The build quality of my Qualcast 35S is very poor. Within a few months of use the throttle control snapped and the front roller nut became loose and fell off (never to be found again). I have persevered with it but the latest problem is that the blades hit a tree stump and the main internal cog (made from plastic) has split in two & it needs repairing.
Apart from the poor build quality I would also say the design is not as effective as it could ... ...could be made a lot easier if they had provided quick release bolts for the side casing instead of 4 standard bolts that have to be unscrewed with an allen key.
Unfortunately this mover has been one of my worst purchases and I would not buy another Qualcast product again. ...

The faithful Qualcast 35
Advantages: easy to use ,light Disadvantages: none
I've owned the same Qualcast 35 for 13 years,by choice i probably
would not have bought that model but it was bought as a wedding present so it was out of my control.
I cant praise this mower highly enough for the service it has given to me.
Its a simple little cylinder mower ,powered by a 240 volt electric motor which powers the cutting cylinder via a toothed rubber belt and two plastic gears.A lightweight plastic roller at the rear enables reasonable ...
