Between agile battery mowers to robust petrol mowers, tailor your choice to your lawn size, terrain, and maintenance needs.

Perfect for smaller lawns, battery mowers are the cordless, quiet, eco-friendly solution. They’re equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery as their primary power source. These batteries are known for their high energy density, lightweight design, and ability to hold a charge for an extended period.
