Petrol lawnmowers with an electric start are becoming ever more popular and here we list three which should be on your short list if you are considering buying one.
The first is the Einhell GC-PM 51/2 SHW-E 4-in-1 Hi-Wheel Self-Propelled Petrol Lawn Mower (with Electric Start) from a German manufacturer with a reputation for top garden machinery.
With a turn of the key, this machine is ready for the off with its 51cm cutting width and large-sized grass box with an indicator to show when it’s full.
For a better cut, it has a grass comb at the front which gives a better finish and more even cut and it has four options for dealing with the cuttings – either mulching and returning to the lawn, discharging to the back or side or collection in the box.
The cutting height is easily adjusted.
It has a powder-coated steel deck for a long life and a 163 cc low emission engine.
Large rear wheels make it easy to drive around the lawns.
We have this excellent quality mower on sale for £399.95 saving £200! It comes with a two-year maker’s warranty and free delivery the next working day.
Our second machine comes from Mountfield, one of Britain’s most popular lawnmower makers. We are the company’s official online partner which enables us to bring you really excellent deals on their products.
The Mountfield S481-PD/ES Power-Driven Petrol Lawnmower (with Electric Start) has one of the company’s 160 cc engines fired up with a key start so you won’t have to spend time tugging on a cord.
The cutting width is 48 cm and it is solidly built with a steel chassis powder coated to prolong life.
There are six cutting heights from 26 to 72 mm so it is suitable for a wide range of tasks and a 60-litre grass box.
Our price for this mower is £499.00 a full £80 less than the manufacturer’s recommended price.

Another top lawnmower manufacturer is Al-Ko and their Al-Ko Highline 476 SPI 4-in-1 Self-Propelled Lawnmower is another with an electric key start.
It too has four options for dealing with the cuttings – and there are seven cutting height options from 30 to 80 mm meaning it can tackle a wide range of cutting tasks around the garden.
