Mounting
The handle of the lawnmower is pushed together and screwed by hand. For this purpose, screws and plastic handles are provided with sunken locknut. The mounting of the handle is quick and are no riddles. But you should make sure that the cable pulleys are properly so you do not damage it during the subsequent collapse of the handle.
The grass-catcher is provided with a handle which is inserted with little effort and is then immediately ready for hanging on the mower. By material combination of plastic and textile of the grass-catcher is pleasantly light. You have to tilt back strongly the mower, are to the grass-catcher. A good solution. The mulch insert is removed from the device for mowing. To this end, the grass-catcher is removed, lift the cover from Grasauslass and mulching with plenty of power pulled backwards. That should definitely go a little easier. The mulch unit is already mounted on the mower with the delivery!
Supplies
500ml oil must be filled before the first start. Appropriate signs are attached to the mower. The oil you get at any hardware store.
The engine must be filled with E10 fuel. This makes the fuel costs a little cheaper.
Commissioning
The mower is a small charger for the battery. The battery You should charge first because the state of charge in the supply is unknown. After the key is turned around in the ignition and the safety lever was pulled, the mower starts up immediately. The throttle lever is provided during ignition to start what appeared a choke triggers because of the exhaust come black clouds. If one then the throttle to a higher speed, are no longer visible exhaust. Also by cable can be started quickly and with little effort the mower.
The mower is not louder than, for example, an Al-Ko Classic mower, we have been in use. Also the fuel consumption is comparable to Al-Ko and perfectly acceptable. The mower sounds like a "healthy" Benzinrasenmäher. No strange noises, no rattling, no uneven running. For volume you can still say that this mower is quite residential area Suitable if you do not just want to mow the lawn on Sunday mornings.
Handling
The handling of the mower is consistently good. It can be good push and the rear-wheel drive is working properly, even with gentle slopes. The alleged excessive wheels are large in size and have a sufficient grip. The soft handle gives good grip even with sweaty hands. Vibrations come through and it's hardly a long mowing possible without hand fatigue. The handle is height adjustable and with 1,86m height adjustable perfect for me.
The collecting bag with level indicator (a flap which opens by the air flow and closes) is easy to mount and unmount. Starting and stopping is simple. The electric starter makes starting a breeze. You can leave the cut grass ejecting in the grass-catcher, or sideways. A side ejection is included and easily locatable. The cutting height is adjusted centrally by a single lever. This also functions quickly and simply.
Cut quality and mulching
What matters is a clean cut, to avoid damaging the turf as little as possible. This is particularly useful at high temperatures with lots of sunshine. The Einhell GH-PM 51 S HW-E is supplied with properly sharpened knives. The cutting quality is without any visible flaws. Even in very low position the knife cut the grass very well.
You can mulch with mulch unit inserted only short grass. You should mow the grass for a few days before mulching or just pre-cutting. The grass clippings will be finely cut mulching and fertilizing the lawn. Here, you drive the mower slowly across the lawn. The result is very good.
Conclusion
The Einhell GH-PM 51 S HW-E is a very good mower. Both the handling, as well as tune the cutting quality. The volume is for a gasoline mower this class completely under. The blades are relatively easy to expand in order to grind them to.
Optically a few minor defects in the plastic lining of the engine are visible that may arise during injection molding of parts but really should not arise. In but you can see across. There are marks on the material surface.
A faster folding mechanism of the handle I would have liked. The Schrauberei is annoying if you have to fold up the mower and store it in the car every day.
A whole star I can not pull, this mower is just too good.
For me, the Einhell GH-PM 51 S HW-E is a value for recommendation!
