What top pick means here

The top pick is the Greenworks 40 V, model 2504707UC, at about £269.16. The listing line is 4.4 from 1,182 reviews, the highest star line in this set with at least 500 reviews. You get a 41 cm cut, mulch or a 50 litre bag, two 2 Ah packs and a charger, and a stated area of up to 500 m². Long or wet grass will shorten that area bullet. The weight field is 20.8 kg, drive is not stated, and the height figures conflict. An 18-month review says both packs failed. Skip it for a strip, or if you cannot carry about 20 kg.

Best value is the corded Forte

Best value is the Forte MEB1637E-04 at about £79.99, the lowest saved price among kept mowers that state a mulch plug and have at least 30 reviews. You get 1600 W, a 37 cm cut, the plug, a 40 litre box, a rear roller, six heights from 20 to 70 mm, and a 10 m cable. The star line is 4.1 from 33 reviews. Saved complaints include a blade that would not turn after two uses and broken side clips. The lawn has to sit within about 10 m of a socket. If the lead is why you skip a cut, read the cordless or corded page. For the decision order before these names, start with the buying guide.

Two other jobs, not two more crowns

The Swift EB122C at about £134.99 weighs 5.2 kg, with a 22 cm cut, a 40 V 2.0 Ah pack and a fast charger. The area bullet is up to 50 m² and heights run from 30 to 50 mm. There is no stated box. One saved review says the trigger failed at 13 months until the pack was removed. The small lawn page stays with the 22–33 cm choice. The WORX WG737E at about £229.00 is a 37 cm brushless mower powered as 40 V by two 20 V 4.0 Ah packs, with a charger, a mulch plug and a bag. The area bullet says up to 550 m². Bag litres are not stated and the weight field is 15.3 kg.

What this page will not call best

A six-review listing cannot carry a best sentence. The Murray kit is about £141.56, with rear discharge, collection or mulch on a 33 cm deck, and a 2.7 line from six reviews. One UK review says the battery would not charge, and a charger is not itemised. There is no petrol mower here. EasyLawnMowing’s own threshold for petrol is a lawn over about 1,200 m². If you can lift about 20 kg, take the Greenworks 40 V. If the socket is within 10 m, take the Forte and treat 33 reviews as the risk.

Common questions

Which mulching mower is the top pick, and for whom?
The top pick is the Greenworks 40 V at about £269.16, 4.4 from 1,182 reviews, the highest star line here with at least 500 reviews. It suits a 41 cm deck and two 2 Ah packs if you can lift a mower whose weight field says 20.8 kg. Skip it for a tiny lawn, or if the conflicting height figures are a problem you do not want on the doorstep.
Which is the best value, and what is weak about it?
The best value is the Forte at about £79.99, 4.1 from 33 reviews. It is the cheapest kept listing with a stated mulch plug and at least 30 reviews, and it adds a 40 litre box, a rear roller and a 10 m cable on a 1600 W motor. The weak point is the short review history, plus saved reports of a blade that stopped and clips that broke.
Why not the 4.5-star mowers?
The Swift 22 cm is 4.5 from 330 reviews, and the WORX WG737E is 4.5 from 207. Both star lines are higher than the Greenworks 40 V, and both counts sit under 500, which is the line this page uses before it says top pick. They remain the fit for a 5.2 kg strip mower and for a two-pack 4.0 Ah WORX.
What if my lawn is only a strip?
Look at the Swift EB122C before the 41 cm Greenworks. At 5.2 kg and 22 cm, with up to 50 m² stated, it mulches without a stated box. The 4.5 from 330 reviews supports a look, not the top-pick label. If you still want a grass box, move to the 33 cm rows.
Is the WORX the magazine winner or just a job fit?
Expert Reviews has named the WORX Nitro WG737E among cordless mowers in a wider test. That is context, not this page’s label, and their other picks are not the ten listings saved here. On our rule the WORX fits when you want two 4.0 Ah packs and a 37 cm plug-and-bag mower, and you accept 207 reviews and an unstated bag volume.
Do I still have to learn how to mulch?
Yes. A strong listing still clumps on wet or over-long grass. Fit the plug on a dry lawn, take about one third of the height, and put the box back on when the grass has got away. Buying the top pick does not retire the grass box for every week of a British spring.
