The best Einhell electric lawn mowers, compared.
Top pick: Einhell GC-EM 1800/43 Best value: Einhell GE-CM 18/30 Li kit – Lowest saved price among complete cartons: 4.2 from 9,541 reviews, 30 cm, pack and charger included, at about £83.94. Updated 22.10.2026.
An electric lawn mower is a walk-behind rotary for a domestic lawn, powered from a 230 V lead or from a battery pack. You buy one when the grass is a garden rather than a field, and when you want to leave a petrol mower and a robot aside. The checks that still hold if the models change are cutting width, what the carton contains, and whether the grass is short or long and damp. Width is the first match. A small lawn sits with a 30–34 cm deck. A wider deck covers more per pass. A corded mower needs a nearby socket, one ready-made extension fully unwound, and a BS 1363 plug on 230 V mains. An RCD is secondary protection. A cordless mower cuts only when the voltage matches: one pack on an 18 V tool, two 18 V packs on a 36 V tool. A bare carton is not ready to mow. Printed square metres are a maker's recommendation, not a measured lawn. The order of those checks is in the [electric lawn mower buying guide](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/einhell-electric-lawn-mower/sub/einhell-electric-lawn-mower-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Can a lead reach the lawn from a socket?
The saved price is about £167.74. The listing line is 4.7 from 4 reviews, first listed 20 October 2025, so the score is thin. Part 3400091 is corded, 1,800 W in the title, 43 cm, six central heights from 20 mm to 65 mm, a 50 L plastic and nylon box, and 12.1 kg. Cable length is not in the saved listing. The area line says up to 800 m² and is a recommendation. One of three UK reviews says the grass box is hard to keep in place. Batteries required says No. Listing score 70. The 4.7 line does not outrank the 1,600 W model.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A larger lawn with a socket, if you accept a new listing with four reviews.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a known lead length or a large review sample.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the lead?
This saved listing does not state a cable length. It does state 1,800 W, a 43 cm cut, six central heights from 20 mm to 65 mm, and a 50 L box.
How many reviews support the 4.7 score?
The listing line is 4.7 from 4 reviews, and the saved listing has three United Kingdom review blocks. One of them says the grass box will not stay in position.
Is a mulch plug included?
The bullets do not say so. A question on the card asks about a mulching kit and does not answer it.
The saved price is about £119. The listing line is 4.6 from 968 reviews, and the raw rank is 2 in Rotary Mowers. The title says the battery is not included. It is a GE-CM 18/33 Li Solo, 33 cm, 25–65 mm in five steps, a 30 L box, and a bullet recommendation up to 200 m². UK reviews praise the weight if you already have a pack, and they say one pack may not do front and back. The dimension cell, 47.6 x 17.3 x 38.6 cm, is not a credible size for the whole mower. Assembly required says Yes. Listing score 80. The shelf price is not a ready-to-mow price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small lawn if you already own an 18 V Power X-Change pack and charger.
Less suitable: A first Einhell tool, because the carton cannot mow until you buy a pack.
Specifications
Common questions
Can I mow with this carton alone?
No. The title says battery not included, and the included line lists the GE-CM 18/33 Li and instructions only.
What cut and box does the listing state?
33 cm, or 330 mm in the cell, five central heights from 25 mm to 65 mm, and a 30 L box with a fill indicator.
Why is the star line high if the battery is missing?
The listing line is 4.6 from 968 reviews. Many UK reviews are from people who already owned Power X-Change packs. The price does not include a pack.
The saved price is about £149.95. The listing line is 4.6 from 20 reviews. It is the GE-CM 18/32 C Li BL-Solo, 32 cm, five central heights from 25 mm to 65 mm, a 27 litre box and 9.65 kg. One bullet prints both 180 m² and 270 m². The battery is not included. There is no United Kingdom review text in the saved listing. Near-edge mowing is a bullet claim, not a test. The price sits above Solo and kit cards that have larger review counts. Listing score 64.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you already own an 18 V pack and want this 32 cm deck despite the thin sample.
Less suitable: Anyone comparing it with the complete 30 cm kit on price alone.
Specifications
Common questions
Which area figure should I trust?
The same bullet says for 180 m² and up to 270 m². Neither is a measurement. The cut is 32 cm and the box is 27 litres.
Is the battery included?
No. A bullet says the battery and charger are available separately, and the included line lists the mower only.
Are there UK reviews in the saved listing?
The star line is 4.6 from 20. The review texts are from other countries, not the United Kingdom.
The saved amazon.co.uk price is about £114.99. The listing line is 4.5 from 298 reviews, and the Garden rank in the saved listing is 1,439 with 10 in Rotary Mowers. The card is the GC-EM 1600/37, part 3400080, 1,600 W, 37 cm, 20–60 mm in five single-wheel steps, a 38 L box and a 10 m lead. UK reviews praise a light push and a decent cut, and they also mention a short lead, a box that fills, and plastic wheel clips. It is corded, so there is no battery in the carton. The 700 m² line is the maker's recommendation on the listing. Listing score 91.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small or medium lawn with a socket nearby, if you want the corded Einhell with the strongest review sample in this set.
Less suitable: A garden the 10 m lead cannot reach, or anyone who needs a mulch plug or wheel drive.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the GC-EM 1600/37 include a battery?
No. The power-source cell says AC and the included line lists the mower and a collection basket. The bullets state a 10 m cord and 1,600 W.
What cutting height does the listing state?
Bullets and cells say 20–60 mm in five single-wheel steps, with a 37 cm cut and a 38 L box.
Is it self-propelled?
The listing does not say wheel drive. UK reviews describe pushing it.
The saved price is about £124.95. The listing line is 4.5 from 68 reviews. It is the GE-CM 18/30-1 Li BL-Solo, 30 cm, three axial heights from 30 mm to 65 mm, a 27 litre box, 8.8 kg, and a bullet recommendation up to 175 m². The title says the battery is not included. There is no United Kingdom review text in the saved listing, so the star line stands without a British theme list. The price is higher than the 18/30 kit that does include a 3.0 Ah pack. Listing score 66.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you already own an 18 V pack and want this Solo rather than the cheaper complete kit.
Less suitable: A first mower purchase, because the carton cannot mow and the UK review themes are missing.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a battery in the box?
No. The title says without battery, and the included line lists the cordless lawn mower only.
What do the UK reviews say?
The star line is 4.5 from 68. The review texts in the saved listing are from Germany, France, and Spain, so they are not used as British opinion.
What height steps are stated?
Bullets say three axial levels from 30 mm to 65 mm, a 30 cm cut, and a 27 litre box.
The saved price is about £237.99. The listing line is 4.4 from 2,005 reviews. It is the RASARRO 36/34 with two 3.0 Ah packs and two chargers, five heights from 25 mm to 65 mm, and a 30 litre box. The title says 34 cm and the cell says 36 cm. Bullets recommend up to 300 m². UK reviews say it is lighter than old petrol mowers. Some of those reviews name a RASARRO 36/38. Wheel drive is not stated. Weight cell is 13.9 kg. Listing score 79. Do not treat the 2,005-review line as a separate sample from the other card that prints the same count.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A medium lawn if you want two 3.0 Ah packs in the box and can live with the width conflict.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs one stated width, or a self-propelled mower.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the cut 34 cm or 36 cm?
The title says 34 cm. The cutting-width cell says 36 centimetres. Both are on the card. The model text says RASARRO 36/34.
Are batteries included?
Yes. The included line lists two 3.0 Ah Power X-Change packs, two chargers and a safety key.
Is it self-propelled?
The bullets do not say wheel drive. A question on the card asks and does not answer. Do not assume yes.
The saved price is about £331.95. The listing line is 4.4 from 2,005 reviews, the same count as ASIN B0BRXKXSQW, and the review titles match that other file. Model 3413272 is titled as a 42 cm RASARRO with two 5.2 Ah packs and a twin charger. Later bullets describe a GE-CM 36/43 with 47 cm, a 65 L box and two 4.0 Ah packs. Weight cell is 17.2 kg. Because the card disagrees with itself, no single width or battery count is shown as fact. Assembly required says Yes. Listing score 62. It is not scored as a clean listing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Nobody, until the listing is one model. If you need a clean 36 V kit, use a card that does not mix two descriptions.
Less suitable: Anyone who would buy on the 4.4 from 2,005 line or on a single width.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a 42 cm or a 47 cm mower?
The title and one bullet say 42 cm and up to 725 m². A later bullet says 47 cm, nine heights and a 65 L box. Do not pick one.
Which batteries are included?
The included line says two 5.2 Ah packs, a twin charger and a blade. A bullet says two 4.0 Ah packs and two fast chargers.
Are the 2,005 reviews about this model?
The star line matches ASIN B0BRXKXSQW, and the first UK review titles in this file match that card and name a RASARRO 36/38. Do not treat them as a second sample.
The saved price is about £249. The listing line is 4.4 from 956 reviews. It is the GP-CM 36/41 Li-Solo, 41 cm, six heights from 25 mm to 75 mm, a lawn comb, an aluminium rail and a catch box. Litres are not stated. Two 18 V packs are required and not included, so about £249 is not a ready-to-mow price. UK reviews are mixed: some praise the wider cut, one says it failed to cut, and one calls the handle unbalanced. Weight is 16.2 kg. Wheel drive is not stated. Listing score 74.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wider cut if you already own two 18 V Power X-Change packs.
Less suitable: A first purchase, because the carton cannot mow and costs more than several complete kits.
Specifications
Common questions
What batteries does it need?
Bullets say two 18 V Power X-Change packs, and that the delivery does not include a battery or charger.
Is there a grass box?
The included line lists a catch box. Litres are not printed.
Is it lighter than a small cordless mower?
The weight cell is 16.2 kg. UK reviews call it heavier than expected and also lighter than a petrol mower it replaced.
The saved price is about £149.95. The listing line is 4.3 from 7,288 reviews, and the raw rank is 2 in Rotary Mowers. It is an 18 V GE-CM 18/33 Li kit with a 4.0 Ah pack and charger, a 33 cm cut and five heights from 25 mm to 65 mm. The bullets say there is no collection bag and a side discharge, while the highlight says a 30 L box and up to 20 m² against a 200 m² bullet. UK reviews say it is easier than petrol or a lead on a small garden, and that one pack will not cover a huge area. Assembly required says Yes. Listing score 82.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small garden if you already accept the conflicting box text and want a 4.0 Ah pack in the carton.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a clearly stated grass box, or a lawn that needs two packs.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this 18/33 kit include a grass box?
The bullets say it is supplied without a collection bag and that clippings leave by side discharge. The item highlight says a 30 L grass box. Both lines are on the card.
Is the battery included?
Yes. The included line lists a 4.0 Ah Power X-Change battery, a fast charger, the GE-CM 18/33 Li and instructions.
What area does the card recommend?
One bullet says lawns up to 200 m². The highlight says up to 20 m². Do not treat either figure as a measurement.
The saved price is about £83.94, the lowest complete carton in this set. The listing line is 4.2 from 9,541 reviews. It is the GE-CM 18/30 Li with a 3.0 Ah pack and fast charger, a 30 cm cut, three axial heights from 30 mm to 70 mm, and a 25 litre bag. UK reviews call it light and fine for a small lawn or allotment paths, and they repeat a stiff height change, a weak runtime, and a poor box. It is one 18 V pack, not a 36 V pair. Rank in the saved listing is 8 in Rotary Mowers. Listing score 84.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small lawn if you want a complete 18 V Einhell at the lowest price in this set.
Less suitable: A large or neglected lawn, or anyone who wants a central height lever and a long runtime.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a battery included?
Yes. The included-components line lists a 3.0 Ah Power X-Change battery, a fast charger, the GE-CM 18/30 Li and instructions.
How wide is the cut and how high can it be set?
The title and cell say 30 cm. Bullets say three axial settings from 30 mm to 70 mm and a 25 litre catch bag.
Will one charge mow a large lawn?
UK reviews say the included 3.0 Ah pack runs out on a modest area of longer grass. The listing does not print a measured runtime.
The saved price is about £239.94. The listing line is 4.1 from 6,758 reviews. The highlight names a GE-CM 43 Li M with two 4.0 Ah packs, two chargers, a 43 cm cut, a 63 litre bag, six heights from 25 mm to 75 mm, and a mulching adapter. A cell says 60 minutes. UK reviews praise the cut versus petrol and also report a two-pin charger, a weak collector on a later unit, and a short run on long grass. Wheel drive is not stated. Weight is 16 kg. The 600 m² line is a recommendation. Listing score 76.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A larger lawn if you want a stated mulch adapter and two 4.0 Ah packs, and you will check the charger plug.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a confirmed BS 1363 charger plug before buying, or wheel drive.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the box include a mulch plug?
Yes. The included-components line lists a mulching adapter, and a bullet tells you to insert the mulching wedge.
Are the chargers a UK plug?
The spec cells do not say. One UK review says the chargers had two pins, not a three-pin UK plug. Check the carton.
What runtime does the card print?
A cell says battery average life 60 minutes, and bullets say up to 600 m². Neither is a lab result. One UK review reports a much shorter run on long grass.
The saved price is about £448, the highest in the set. The listing line is 3.8 from 22 reviews. It is the GC-CM 36/46 S Li BL, 46 cm, nine heights from 25 mm to 80 mm, a 50 litre collector, a steel deck and a stated variable-speed wheel drive. Weight is 24.1 kg. The included line says two 4.0 Ah packs and a twin charger, while one bullet says one 4.0 Ah pack. One of three UK reviews did not finish about 310 m² against a 500 m² claim. The rank label Tow-Behind does not match a walk-behind mower. German review texts in the file are not used. Listing score 58.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A larger lawn only if you specifically want the stated wheel drive and accept a thin, low star line.
Less suitable: A small garden, or anyone using the 500 m² line as a promise.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the self-propelled model?
Yes, on this card. The bullets state a variable-speed wheel drive. It is the only listing in the set that says so.
How many batteries are in the box?
The included line says two 4.0 Ah packs and a twin charger. One bullet says a single 4.0 Ah pack. Both lines are printed.
Did UK reviews match the 500 m² line?
One UK review with about 310 m² of lawn says it stopped with about 5 m² left. Another says the charge lasted about 10 minutes. Only three UK review blocks are in the saved listing.
Twelve amazon.co.uk listings are on this page. Products Compared did not lab-test cut quality, runtime, noise or area. No methodology file publishes a percentage split. The display note says the stored score uses stars, review count, whether the carton can mow, and price, and that conflicting cards are marked down. Those four factors have no published shares, so they are not split below. The stored figures run from 91 to 58. They are not the star rating times 20: 4.7 from 4 reviews is stored as 70, not 94. The five buying checks in the digest are an order, not a weight table, so they are not entered as percentages. The single weight below is that undivided listing score. A product score such as 91 is not a criterion weight.
Listing score
100%The stored number already combines stars, review count, whether the carton can mow, and price. Conflicting cards are marked down inside that number. No file prints a percentage for any part of it. A 4.5 from 298 reviews is stored as 91. A 4.7 from 4 reviews is stored as 70. A 3.8 from 22 reviews is stored as 58. Those figures are listing scores, not weights. The digest order (carton, width, corded or cordless, height and collector, listing hygiene) has no percentages and is not rescaled to 100.
Decide the carton, the width, and the lead or the packs before you read the stars. Twelve amazon.co.uk listings are on this page. The stored score is a listing score, not a laboratory test of cut, runtime, noise or area.
An electric lawn mower is a walk-behind rotary that cuts a domestic lawn from a lead or a battery. It is not a petrol mower and not a robot. Match it to the lawn you have: the cutting width, whether the carton can mow today, and whether the grass is short or long and damp. Start with the carton. A corded machine is ready once you have a sound outdoor socket. A cordless kit should name the packs and the charger. An 18 V tool uses one pack. A 36 V tool uses two 18 V packs.
Electric here means a lead or a battery. A Solo title is not a corded mower, and a 36 V title is not an 18 V tool. Read the power source and the included line before the price.
A bare carton does not mow until you add packs and a charger. An 18 V tool needs one pack. A 36 V tool needs two 18 V packs. The complete 30 cm kit can cost less than a bare 30 cm Solo.
Printed square metres are recommendations, and some cards print two. Mulch is real only when the included line says so. Wheel drive is stated on one card in this set. A shared 2,005-review line is not two samples.
The carton decides whether you can mow today. A corded listing is complete when it includes the mower and you have a 230 V socket. A cordless kit should list the packs and the charger. An 18 V tool uses one pack. A 36 V tool uses two 18 V packs. A Solo title that says the battery is not included is the tool only, so the shelf price is not the cost to mow. Owners who already have matching packs can look at a Solo. A first purchase cannot.
Width is the fit to the lawn. About 30–34 cm is the small-lawn group. A 37 cm corded deck still suits a modest garden if a socket is close. About 41–46 cm covers more per pass and weighs more, up to 24.1 kg on the widest kit. Only the 46 cm card states wheel drive. Do not assume it on the others. Height should be a millimetre range, on one central lever if you can get it. A change at each wheel is the complaint on the small 18 V kit.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a complete carton for a small lawn, not a bare tool. The GE-CM 18/30 Li kit is 30 cm, with a 25 L box, a 3.0 Ah pack and a fast charger, listed at about £83.94. It is 4.2 from 9,541 amazon.co.uk reviews, listing score 84. UK reviews call it light for a small lawn, and they also call the axial height change stiff and the pack short on longer grass.
A lead is acceptable and you want a carton that mows without a pack. The GC-EM 1600/37 is corded, 1,600 W, 37 cm, with a 38 L box and a stated 10 m lead, listed at about £114.99. It is 4.5 from 298 reviews, listing score 91. UK reviews praise a light push and also mention a short lead and a box that fills. There is no mulch plug stated.
You specifically want the stated wheel drive and you can accept a thin, low star line. The GC-CM 36/46 S Li BL kit is 46 cm, with nine heights and a 50 L collector, listed at about £448. It is 3.8 from 22 reviews, listing score 58. It is the only card here that states variable-speed wheel drive. One bullet says one 4.0 Ah pack and the included line says two.
The top pick is the Einhell GC-EM 1600/37. It has the highest listing score among cartons that can mow: 4.5 from 298 amazon.co.uk reviews, score 91, corded 1,600 W, 37 cm, a 38 L box and a stated 10 m lead, at about £114.99. There is no battery to buy. UK reviews also mention a short lead and a box that fills. Best value is the Einhell GE-CM 18/30 Li kit: the lowest saved price among complete cartons, 4.2 from 9,541 reviews, score 84, at about £83.94, with a 3.0 Ah pack and charger and a 30 cm cut. UK reviews call the height change stiff and the runtime short on longer grass. Neither mark is a lab test. The 1,800 W corded card is 4.7 from only 4 reviews, score 70, so that thin sample does not outrank the 1,600 W model.
