Where to buy the cheapest lawn mowers including cylinder, rotary and hover machines
IF you’re looking for a new lawn mower to keep your garden grass trim, we’ve rounded up the cheapest machines currently on the market.
From cylinder to hover mowers, to even robotic devices that cut the grass on their own, we’ve found a range of options with prices starting from £39.
The Sun has checked big name retailers including Argos, B&Q and Amazon.
Just remember to compare prices before you buy using an online price checking tool, such as .
Also remember that just because something looks cheap, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good deal for you.
For example, some of the cheaper machines will only be suitable for smaller lawns.
You can ask the retailer directly if you’re not sure what size garden a machine is good for.
You’ll also want to check how much grass each bag can store, if you’re concerned about having to constantly make trips to your bin.
