Hyundai 19"/48cm 139cc Self-propelled Petrol Roller Lawnmower, 5 Adjustable Cutting Heights, 70l Grass Collector Bag, Foldable Handles, 3 Year Warranty

This is my first roller lawnmower, and overall I’m impressed. It was easy to assemble, the instructions were clear, and once running it provides a very clean, professional-looking cut. However, it’s much heavier than I expected, which makes it harder to manoeuvre, especially in a garden with lots of borders where turning or reversing is tricky. My garden is around 0.3 acre, and while the mower covers the space well, the layout means achieving neat stripes will be a bit of a challenge. I am hoping I will learn with time as I love the lawnmower. That said, it feels solid, works really well, and I do love the result – though in hindsight, a slightly smaller model might have been easier to handle. I got it in sale for £300 for cannot complain.

How this was the no.1 "best lawnmower" is anyones guess! The mower is VERY heavy, which makes turning it very difficult, and does not have an idle setting (so needs to be restarted every time the lever is released. Setting it up was not that straightforward and I noticed that the speed control does not work. `When I pointed this out to the fault fixing team they said to send it back in the original packaging with no fuel or oil in it! The original packaging was long gone and as I had just filled it up with fuel and oil I decided to live with it and mow at one speed only rather than lose both the expensive fuel and oil All in all, I'm very disappointed with both the product and with Hyundai. So annoying that there was no refund. Plus the cuttings container, although large and fairly easy to empty, is extremely difficult to fix to the mower

The price was reasonable, and for that price you’ve got a good mower instructions were clear.mower was easy to use and had good speed.

Had one of these Hyundai mowers before, self drive 4 wheel model, and found it a bit heavy to move about in my garden - 4 medium sections- so bought a lighter machine but it was good but not as good as the Hyundai. Previously I had a hand propelled Hayter with rear roller so decided to return to Hyundai am this self drive model with rear roller is still heavy but easier to use due to the roller and the extra weight produces an nice level cut and nice stripes. Good quality machine and well worth considering if you want one with a rear roller. Less expensive than som other similar on the market a delivered quickly and well packaged.

Only mowed the lawns twice so far but no complaints at all. The roller helps to flatten some of the lumpy bits I have on one section and the speed adjustment is great for the longer rows. It starts easily and I had no real trouble assembling it as some of the reviewers had found and of course it gives a nice striped finish. Top marks

The assembly instructions could be a lot better. They are pretty dreadful really, and the handbook comes with several additional pieces of instructions because I suspect there have been complaints about this. However Hyundai need to do this properly as the mower has been designed and built to a much higher standard than the instructions. My mower started first time and gave me great stripes. It's easy to use. At first the accelerator lever didn't work...it was stuck on 'slow', but on a second cut a few days later it was working as it should. I think this is a great movwer and I'm very happy with the quality and design of the product. My lawn will love the cut too.

Do not buy this mower unless you know IT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. From the first cut, I found it was not as good as my Mountfield which I have had 10/15yrs. After the first cut, I contacted Hyundai, who responded incredibly quickly, but only to say that they would pass me to Technical Support....then, nothing. I chased, they apologised, and said not to worry, as it could be sent back, then, nothing. After several weeks, I have been told it can be sent back, but I will be charged 25% (not included in description)!!!!!!! So, why isn't it as good as my Mountfield SP460R? Simply, because this is a roller mower, with the expectation that it produces a beautiful striped lawn. IMO it does not, and I believe it to be the cutting height. Since investigating, I believe the Mountfield cuts down to 20mm, and the Hyundai cuts down to 25mm. You would think that 5mm is 'nothing', but evidently, it can be a big difference. After cuttting my lawn (in May), the collection box is almost empty and the lines are vague (can't see them as I am cutting). After a day, you can't really see them. NB I don't have a thick lush grass lawn. It has a lot of daisies and other weeds. It is also uneven. If you have a close to perfect lawn, and you haven't had a Mountfield, you might be happy with the cut. I have attached some pictures of the second week I tried; After cutting with Hyundai, and then my Mountfield. Note the content of the grass box next to the Mountfield. NB The phone camera contrast makes the stripes easier to see, 'to the eye' this is not good. Other than that, the mower starts well, but the speed is ridiculous. The slow setting feels like engine will cut out, and moving to the next 'notch' is way too fast, with little differentiation going to the highest setting. The instructions to setup the mower are very poor (generic, for other mowers). If you do buy it, don't tighten the nylon nuts/bolts until you are sure everything is in place. I had to dissemble it 2 or 3 times (note where the pull cord retainer is on the handle in relation to the cord on the engine). NB The instructions don't mention the hose connection for cleaning, and it was only while checking the Amazon description that I noticed the feature. I had to watch Youtube to see how to use it. I now see the Amazon description shows the cutting height. I have no idea if this was added after I complained, as I don't recall seeing it before. I am told that this is stated, and so I have no grounds to return the mower without being charged. I can't afford to simply give >£100 away, so I am stuck with an inadequate mower. So, if you don't know if the cutting height is a consideration, my advice is, go with a mower that GIVES YOU THE OPTION; allowing to go lower, and raise it when required (eg Mountfield S461R, which I wish I bought!)

This was my second Hyundai mower, first one had an issue retaining fuel eg it leaked! However, resolved by returning and purchasing from Amazon, no problems so far used it for the past few weeks, no issues at all, I have large areas of grass and does a great complete with stripes. Good fuel consumption, started first time every time ... Only negatives, it is quite heavy although should be a positive, because helps as a roller too. Wash down feature is excellent too, so easy to clean ... Controls all very logical, has good speed adjustments too. Cables can be a nuisance at first when removing grass collector.
