Hyundai 20"/51cm 196cc Electric-start Self-propelled Petrol Lawnmower, 6 Cutting Heights, Large 70l Grass Collector, Foldable Handles, 3 Year Warranty

I recently bought this mower to replace one which cost half as much again 5 years ago. This one has more features including variable drive speed and electric start.My initial impressions are very favourable after perhaps a total of half an acre mown. It has bags of power for longer grass, drives forward positively and discharges well from my preferred method of usage namely side discharge.The mower came well packaged in a box with a bottle of engine oil included. Assembly was the work of a couple of minutes having watched the Youtube set up video I found online. There were a couple of nice upgrades since Hyundai created the video, namely star nuts to hand tighten instead of plain metal nuts that would require a spanner and there was a spare electric start button along with the ubiquitous spark plug spanner.This mower is heavy, I believe somewhere in the region of 40Kgs, 90lbs. However, the handles are perhaps 20 cm/8inches longer than my previous mower and the extra leverage negates the weight increase. For an average guy of average build it is no great effort to manoeuvre it around obstacles or corners.The wheels are larger than those on 'normal' mowers making pushing a stopped mower over gravel a little easier than I expected.The mower lifts both front and rear mowing height by the use of one lever, which is very convenient and quick though needing a little effort to lift the mowers weight.The mower started almost instantly after assembly and fluids were added.Things I like...it's a robust powerful beast of a mower for medium to large lawns. Ease of assembly and a Google search revealed wear parts were readily available and reasonably priced.My only gripe to date...I wish the plastic front piece that looks like a lifting handle was rolled steel rather than plastic as the mower is really a two man lift and it is somewhat lightweight for the job.That's it folks, it's a big pokey mower for decent sized lawns at a great price for the features.P.s. the two wee plastic rectangles it comes with are for inserting inside the rear flap if you want rear discharge after you remove the mulching/side discharge bung to keep the flap open a little.I've no affiliation to Hyundai or Amazon, I'm just a guy with a couple of large lawns in Scotland. Thanks for your time.

This is my 2nd Hyundai petrol mower, last ne lasted 7 years without any issues, hence no issue buying a larger model.Easy to assemble and started 1st time.Engine has the correct amount of power to handle a larger lawnWalking speed control and engine speed control is a nice function to help with longer grass heights.Nice big grass collection ba means less emptyingAll round nice mower

Ordered this to maintain our large lawn. It arrived promptly and was simple to put together. The wrong size grass collection basket was supplied in the box. Amazon support connected me with Hyundai who had a replacement to me within a few days. Annoying but well managed on their part.First Impressions: The mower is an absolute unit. It weighs every kilo listed in the spec.Electric Start: What a luxury. So far, it's workied consistently and made cutting the grass less than a chore. I do wish the battery was removable to make it easier to charge. But that's largely because I dont have power in my shed.Self Drive - I doubted weather I needed this function before I ordered. I considered it something else to go wrong. In hindsight, it's a nescesity for a mower of this size and weight. The drive is is either on or off. Even though it has 4 drive speeds, it does take a bit of getting used to if you've not used a self propelled mower before.Final Thoughts: I recomend this mower. It's a bit of a brute and not as versatile than the smaller model. But I don't doubt it's robust build, power and reliability.

After 10 years tackling a very large uneven lawn my high end wide bladed Hayter mower finally bit the dust last Autumn, so I've been on the lookout for a similar replacement. The Hayter was built like a tank but had a pull chord start that took some pulling and at 63 I was hoping to be able to afford an electric start mower. Most large blade self propelled electric start mowers cost a fortune and were well beyond my budget.This Hyundai ticked all the boxes and was an incredibly reasonable price so I hesitated for ages, thinking it was likely to be a bad purchase. I couldn't have been more wrong!It arrived within a couple of days in a well packed carton. It says it comes without oil and you need to buy a bottle, but in fact there's a separate bottle of mower oil supplied in the carton. I should also mention that there has been some negative review comments about the guarantee, but you no longer need to fill in a form within 30 days, their website confirms your purchase is your guarantee (see screengrab attached).The mower was incredibly easy to put together, all you need to do is attach the handle mechanism with a few bolts, add the cup holder (a piece of genius bling!) with a couple of screws, hook on the two cables, add oil and fuel, and you're ready to go. From opening box to start up and mow was about 20 mins.The mower is actually incredibly very well built and sturdy, and it looks fantastic. It's recommended you charge the small starter battery (mains charging lead supplied) for 6 hours but mine fired up first time straight out of the box.All the settings and controls are very light and easy to use. Unless you're mowing Wimbledon I wouldn't recommend the lowest setting, as it really is tight to the ground and won't forgive any humps or dips. Level 2 is perfect, even for a first cut. On the speed side I'd also avoid the top speed (4), as this really jumps forward with a bit of a kick, but (3) is perfect for a smart pace across the lawn.As you can see from the before and after pictures I have a very large undulating lawn that actually has several crests and levels to it. The old Hayter used to stick on the slopes but this beauty just whizzed over everything without a blip. As it was the first cut of the year after a long mowerless autumn and winter, I decided to save endless grass bag emptyings and put the mulching plug in instead. The Hayter was a mulcher but it still used to dump unsightly clumps all over the place. This machine didn't leave a trace of grass and the mulched material was very fine. I'd recommend mulching as it's the right eco-thing to do and with this mower I'll stick with it as empty bags is a chore.Coming back to the cup holder I thought this was just a gimmick but it also came into its own when I was at the far end of the garden!The final piece of brilliance on this machine is the little hose attachment nozzle on the topside. I didn't think this was serious, but I followed the instructions, connected my garden hose to it, turned the water on full blast, and started up the mower. To my amazement the machine cleaned itself! One of the worst aspects of cutting the lawn with my old heavy mower was trying to turn it on its side afterwards to brush off the cack, without the oil or the petrol all spilling out. 10/10 Hyundai for this brilliant idea.Oh, yes, the start button also cleverly pops out so you can prevent curious kids from starting it up.I've now had the machine for a fortnight and have cut the grass four times with it. The results are amazing and it's an absolute pleasure to use. I'd recommend this machine to anyone with a larger than average lawn who needs a very well priced, robust and easy to operate mower.FEBRUARY 2023 UPDATEI cleaned the mower carefully and gave the battery a full charge last November before putting this mower away in a clean, dry garden shed for the winter. Pulled it out this morning, filled it with petrol, checked the oil (fine) pressed the start button, and off she went first time. My large lawn was already pretty thick with new, fresh growth, a badger had dug loads of holes and there were old leaves everywhere but this incredible machine just blasted through it all (see last two pix).. It mulches really fine so I got a great improver for the lawn from all the leaves it pulped. At the end of the run the lawn was pretty even and perfect. All I'll need to do in a few days time when the mulching clumps have gone, is a quick, light trim and we're ready for the summer. Once again the machine cleaned really easily with a hose nozzle on blast - the plastic parts are very non-stick, and the self cleaning facility is amazing. My only very tiny niggle was that the nozzle for attaching your garden hose to the mower is a bit stiff, so I solved this by cutting an 2ft length of garden hose with connectors each end. I leave one end permanently attached to the mower and just stash the length of hose by the basket when the mower's in use. A power clean takes about 5 mins and leaves the underside pretty perfect. I'm also impressed that nothing has so far shown signs of rust or tarnish. Best £450 I ever spent!!
