    Great cut, quiet (obviously!), environmentally friendly BUT handle comes out when you pull the mower backwards. Very frustrating having to constantly push it back in.

    This is a great mower if you have a smallish area to cut. It is well build, easy to assemble and easy to adjust the cutting height for the first cut of the season. I love the low noise, eco-friendly aspect and easy push of this mower. The cutting area is a good practical width (I wouldn’t go smaller) and cuts quite well out of the box but, the only criticism I have, is that the blades on the cylinder are not sharp enough. Even with the fine adjuster the cutting paper test was pretty poor. As with many tools that need a sharp blade it is common to have to sharpen before it’s first use. Sharpen it, keep it oiled to prevent rust and it I think it will last for years.

    Montage simple, heureusement qu’il a des réglages de tonde. Très satisfaite de mon achat.

    Only a few parts to easily assemble then it’s push and play. Cuts well, is easy to push and turn, and removes the wasted time and hassle of fuel cans or electricity cables. I haven’t used a push mower in over 30 years and hadn’t appreciated how much easier they are to use in their current versions. I’m keeping the grass fairly long as the climate here is 40 degC so I’ve simply used one of the pre-set adjustments that is very easy to move between. I read other reviews before purchase that outlined the method and tool(s) needed to set to low cutting heights, but I’m not going to tinker with it and will continue to use at the pre-set adjustable cutting heights. Stores away easily enough and is light enough to move into the garden shed without any bother. Overall, I’m happy that I took the decision to buy this push mower.

    Great for flat terrain and frequently maintained grass. It jams on any kind of bumps and can’t mow taller grass, so keep that in mind before purchasing.

    Un peu sceptique, j’ai choisi la tondeuse Gardena 400 en me disant que j’allais devoir me faire aider (en tant que femme de 75 ans). Pas du tout ! Tout d’abord, le montage est ultra simple, intuitif et sans outils; en fait, il se limite à l’assemblage du guidon et du sac de ramassage.
    Ensuite la vraie surprise : j’ai vraiment été conquise par le fait que cette tondeuse se manipule sans peine et sans effort. J’ai été amenée à devoir tondre une pelouse d’environ 150 m2, qui n’avait plus été tondue depuis plus de 6 semaines en été, l’herbe était donc bien haute ! Avec ses 4 hauteurs de coupe, pas de problème : un premier passage à 42 cm et un second à 22 pour un rendu impeccable.

    After reading some negative reviews on this mower, I was sceptical but took a chance and got one anyway. And I am really glad I did. This thing is absolutely brilliant (and for reference, I have been cutting lawns since I was about 12 years old using a wide range or electric and fuel mowers – that is 33 years experience)!
    I have absolutely no idea how people are saying it does not work, or is not sturdy enough, or the tightening knob will break, or whatever else they find to moan about.
    I tested this on my lawn when it was damp, and it did a perfect job at the lowest height setting. On dry lawn, it does an even better job! Compared to my old electric mower, this thing is so incredibly easy to use. I can’t believe it took me this long to make the switch to a reel mower.

    One negative point I will mention however, which is the grass collection attachment that you have to purchase separately. Although it does its job very well at collecting the grass, it also completely undermines the manoeuvrability of the mower. It was an EXPENSIVE accessory that now gathers dust in the shed.
    When cutting the grass once a week (as you should) the cuttings are small enough to not really make the lawn look any worse for it by just staying there. Personal preference applies.

    Where before, it was an absolute chore getting the grass cut, now it is so much more effortless and actually quite enjoyable. And my lawn has never looked better. Seriously.

    I would highly recommend this to anyone with a small, medium or even large lawn.

    Easy to assemble
    Easy to push and the blades are really sharp
    I have 50 sqm lawn and it took less than 15 mins
    overall it’s a great product

    Dislikes. / Improvement

    The bolt which connects the handle together should be an inch longer. I see previous buyers already wrote their review not sure why Gardena still haven’t fixed the issue 🙁

    Portable, light and the cut is sharp to say the least. easy to adjust cutting height and cutting plate, no effort using this mower, I’d recommend spraying the blades with 3 IN ONE Ptfe oil
