No starting-problems, no emissions and no maintenance – this high-performance 1800w mains-driven mower from German power-tool experts WOLF-Garten will prove a practical and convenient alternative to a petrol-powered machine.

It employs WOLF-Garten’s Advanced Cut & Collect technology, whereby the powerful under-deck airflow generated works to straighten the grass-stems prior to cutting, in turn ensuring the sort of neat, manicured finish that characterises the traditional British lawn.

Extra-large rear-wheels make for easier turning when mowing long grass; while centralised height-of-cut control means making the required adjustments couldn’t be simpler (the range is through six-steps from 25 to 75mm).

The WOLF-Garten Ambition A400E Electric Lawnmower can be adapted to suit a wide variety of grass-conditions, thanks to WOLF’s provision of three cutting-modes – collection, direct-discharge and mulching.

It’s built around an impact-resistant plastic deck, so you won’t have to worry knocks and rust; and it comes with a 20m power-lead that should see you reach the furthest corners of your garden without resorting to extension-boards.

This model’s 40cm working-width and 45-litre catcher make it suitable for small- to medium-scale domestic use.
