Overall, not a bad purchase

The structure is not entirely straightforward. Even the grass box comes in three parts, which still have to be mounted with 4 screws. Overall, you need three different screwdrivers or bits and approximately half an hour to assemble the various parts (grass catcher, flap, push handle, etc.).

After installation is complete, the product looks visually quite impressive - it has indeed received a design award. However, when a lawnmower is design not decisive, but the function. That's good. The mower cuts the grass cleanly and also collecting the cuttings in the grass box is functioning properly. The engine is strong and fortunately relatively quiet. The large rear wheels, the mower can easily push and turn (by lifting the front wheels) well on the spot. The quite high weight (about 29 kg) shows itself in not so noticeable. The grass catcher is sufficiently large. One interesting thing is the level indicator. For this purpose, a small flap is incorporated in the upper side of the collecting basket, which is pressed by the air stream of the rotating blade upwards. The more the pot filled with grass, the lower the air flow, which still passes through the basket and the lid closes slowly. Is it despite running engine let alone, the collector is full and needs to be emptied. This works well and is much better than the "level indicator" on other models where you only notice the full pot because the grass clippings is simply thrown to the side of the mower.

The mower itself is shaped asymmetrically, ie the engine and blades are slightly offset from the centerline to the left. In (domestic) walls that are left of a, one can thus to zoom directly to the wall mow. On the right side you can not. Exacerbated by the wide rear wheels - thus the somewhat machen- be disadvantageous at this point, there is always a few centimeters are missing and you have to turn the mower and possibly leave the strip again to reach all the stalks.

What is negative to note: Contrary to the description of the mower does not have central cutting height adjustment, but you have to adjust three levers - one for the rear axle and one for the front wheels. Since it is, however, change the cutting height usually after some initial Try only very rarely, that's not bad as a result. What is rather a bit annoying, is the safety bar on and off. Although the runs - unlike other mowers - practically over the entire width grip. However, he is made of plastic and a bit too flexible. If you hold it pulled far left, it can happen that the security mechanism that sits on the right leg side, a supposed "letting go" of the switch recognizes the mower and thereby unintentionally emanates.

A total of 470 Silver E Premium is but a useful lawnmower whose price is reasonable for what is offered and the purchase is not regretted.
