The Best Lawn Mowers In New Zealand (2024)

Do you want to buy your first lawn mower or replace an existing one that has stopped working? It can be tricky to ascertain the best lawn mower to buy, as the options vary significantly in form and functionality. Below, we highlight examples of those mowers, weighing up the pros and cons of each.

Bosch Manual Hand Push Cylinder Lawn Mower

If either your budget or garden is small, a hand mower — otherwise known as a ‘push’ or ‘manual’ mower, as you operate it by personally pushing it across the lawn — can prove flexible.

This Bosch model’s cutting height can be adjusted from 15 to 43mm. However, a push reel mower like this can be physically exhausting to use on a medium-to-large-sized lawn.

Greenworks 40V 460mm Cordless Mower

A motorised mower does not need to be physically propelled — but you can remain sensitive to the environment by opting for an electric, rather than petrol-powered, model.

One well-recommended example of an electric mower is this streamlined Greenworks option, which can even be stored vertically. However, it might not have enough battery life to trim further-flung areas of a large garden.

Husqvarna Automower 450X NERA

If money is no object, you could go a step further and invest in a sophisticated robotic lawnmower like this Husqvarna unit. It can cover lawns up to 5,000 m² in size and be controlled by voice with a Google Nest or Amazon Echo smart speaker.

Be aware though, that installing the 450X NERA can take hours. Also, the blades must be replaced regularly lest the mower starts producing below-par cutting results.

If you have a residential or commercial lawn in South Auckland, you could save yourself a lot of time and money by arranging for us to do the mowing on your behalf.

You wouldn’t have to buy a mower or maintain it, such as by sharpening its blades or replacing its spark plugs. You also wouldn’t need to resolve unexpected issues with the mower or figure out how to tackle particularly challenging terrain, e.g. wet grass.
