It’s easy to see why internal-combustion mowers are becoming increasingly outmoded with petrol-equivalent machines like the powerful, German-engineered Einhell GE-CM 43LI appearing on the market.

Supplying the power is a high-capacity 18v (4Ah) lithium-ion battery-pack that’s not affected by the spontaneous-discharge and memory effect problems that come with nickel-cadmium and lead acid units; and which charges to full capacity in just 90-minutes.

A thick rubberised shell ensures it will easily cope with being dropped or bumped; while an LED display makes it easy to keep track of the charge-level.

The Einhell GE-CM 43LI Cordless Lawnmower combines a straightforward hand-push design with a low-weight build (16.5kg) so as to maximise manoeuvrability, thereby ensuring you’ll have no troubles working around trees, ornaments and landscaping.

It boasts a high-quality impact-resistant housing for confidence when it comes to corrosion-resistance and general durability; and it’s equipped with extra-large-diameter back-wheels that protect the turf and enhance long-grass manoeuvrability.

This model is supplied with a spacious 63-litre grass-catcher that benefits from a spillage-preventing ‘bag full’ indicator - a great feature for a mower in this price-range.

A fold-down handlebar means it will take-up minimal space in your storage area; while six-position cutting-height adjustment allows you to steadily fine-tune the finish as the growing-season progresses.

Should you wish to save time and feed your lawn with organic nutrients, you can remove the bag and switch over to mulching-mode.

Two batteries and two high-speed chargers included. Batteries compatible with Einhell’s Power X-Change range.
