Einhell Electric Lawn Mower BG-EM 1030 1000 watts, 30 cm cutting width, 3x cutting height adjustment, 28l collection box (tool)

Customer Review

The lawnmower is very expensive - quickly mounted and makes a pretty good first impression - also from the laity. The cutting height is not adjusted centrally, but must be set on the 4 wheels, there are three height levels (25, 42 and 60mm), which is not a big problem, however, since one does not change the cutting height sooo often. The collector hard plastic does not particularly high-quality impression, but has so far held and at the price you just have to make concessions to the quality. The cutting result is impressive: even far more expensive lawnmowers mowers initially not better. In addition, the low weight of the mower likes of just 10kg, so that wearing and easy maneuvering goes out of hand. Due to the low weight, however, the mower tilts backwards when the collector is full. Then one should empty the grass box at the latest. The cutting width is aligned with 30cm for smaller lawns and in the compact garden device is also fast space-saving stowed in the garage or basement.

Since the spring of 2012 I mow our lawn (60sqm) with it. With the cutting width of 30cm am I ready in about 15minutes. For larger gardens but another lawnmower should be bought with a wider cutting width.

However, the problem with this mower is the grass knife: here not got good quality has been installed. After about 10x mowing, or about every 6 weeks, you realize that the blades of grass are partly no longer cut but plucked, because the ends look frayed. I then removed the knife and cut with a hand file, after initially wars like new again, but after a few weeks had to be re-sharpened. In more expensive lawnmowers it is not enough often, if one grinds the knife at the start of the season ... but here. You should be prepared that one year 3 to 5 times must grind the knife sometime useless - because too thin - will be. For a replacement knife Einhell requires about 10 EUR plus shipping, which is probably every 2-3 years overdue.

My Conclusion:
Mower full ok - at least for the price.
However, grass blade is the weak point. For me it has extrapolated until the next grinding a "lifetime" of about 600 square meters. For larger gardens, this may mean that after each mowing the knife has to be sharpened, so this is not recommended.
But still suitable for small gardens and small areas, if you take the regular loops in purchasing.

In total there are 2 star deduction for the bad knife, making a total of three stars
