Pros and cons

According to our lawn mower expert

You can quickly mow lawns up to 550 square meters thanks to the wide cutting swath and the powerful motor.
Thanks to the mulching function, you can blow the shredded grass back onto your lawn as a nutrient.
The large 45L container lets you mow the entire lawn without emptying the container in between.
With a maximum 96dB noise level, the lawn mower makes more noise than other lawn mowers.

Description

With the Gardena PowerMax 42, you can maintain lawns up to 550m2. Set the handle to a position that's comfortable for you and centrally adjust the cutting height between 20 and 60mm. You can also mow outside of the wheels, which trim the lawn edges as well. During mowing, you can collect the grass in the 45L container, so you no longer have to rake. If you mow regularly and you want to fertilize your lawn in a natural way, use the mulching function. This way, you can keep the grass clippings in the mower deck, shred them very finely and then blow them back onto your lawn. Your grass will always look well cared for with the PowerMax 42.

Note: this lawn mower has a power plug without a cord. This means you always need an extension cord in order to use the lawn mower.

--meets the expectation

easy assembly
mulching works well on dry grass
operation simple

My old machine had a grass collection bag (torn and came loose), mowed on an irregular wall, which damaged the front wheel and came loose, the garbage collection no longer comes here. So a mower with a collector, mowing outside the wheels and mulching. Since I'm old (91 and no longer a car), I have to rely on the internet. The choice was easy: website with the best information, good price and fast delivery. It is not possible to assemble the collection container according to the text (fig. A4) First fasten both parts to the lid so that the connection points are well and firmly together. Mulching with dry grass works very well, with slightly wet grass the drain must remain open and the flap must be kept open with a string.

ample meet

little noise
adjustable handle
easy to lift
not mowing evenly (stripes)

The product comes in a nice sturdy box. The manual is simple and can be done by anyone. Nice design too. When installing, I do notice that the collection tray is not easy to assemble. The two bins must be really straight on each other and then you can click them in. If one is just next to it, you have to click the other confirmations out again. Not convenient. Other than that, I'm happy with the lawnmower. Adjusting the cutting lengths is also easy by pressing a button that raises or lowers the lawn mower. The handle is also handy, which you can easily adjust for large and small people. The drip tray is also nice and big, so you don't have to empty it as often. Provided, of course, that you mow regularly. Thanks to the large mowing distance, you can also take care of the edges. Be aware that you do need a decent cord to bridge 600m2 of grass.

Great lawn mower with handy mulching function, recommended

Great lawnmower
Mulch function works perfectly
Convenient to use
bit loud

Great lawn mower with handy mulching function, even longer grass disappears completely :-) Operation is simple and easy, it is not too heavy and the large rear wheels make it very manoeuvrable. There is a simple attachment of the cord so that the plug cannot fall out. It's a bit on the loud side, but no earplugs needed. The push bar hinges don't seem very sturdy, should see how long it lasts. Overall very satisfied so far, highly recommended.
