but the massive benefit of having two batteries we're Machinery nation and today we have the web
40 volt battery powered roller mower oh yes it's got some nice features on it we're going to check
it out and we kind of cut some grass tested by Machinery Nation so as far as looks goes
it looks like a lawnmower some battery mowers on the market just don't look right they look
like they're electric mower trying to be battery powered this actually looks like a petrol mower
to be fair it's the size of it it's a 17 inch for 43 centimeter mower this is a little bit different
because it comes not just a one battery but comes with two four amp hour batteries the fast charger
and like I said it's a roller mower so you know it creates stripes on your lawn but to roll them
there with a mulch plug now that doesn't happen very often first and foremost we need the battery
and we also need the key which is this little red lovely little thing here so we're going to pop the
battery in just lift that little hatch on the back pop the battery in pop the key in which just goes
in there and close the flap and now we're ready to go so you've got single height adjustment lever
here and that just folds the mower down like so so we're going to go about that high because you've
got between 26 millimeters and 80 millimeter range it's got a really nice range for roller
mode to cut some grass so we've got a button on the side push the button in and hold the handle
back I'll start your blades oh sounds good we've got a nice little bit of power I think I don't
think I'm too low and then on the back you've got yourself propelled so start by pushing it
and then gradually put yourself a belt in and then off you go trying to give a straight line
which is going to be hard so you can hear the mode dialing down a little bit because it's trying to
churn through that Moss I don't know if you can see on camera but it is really starting to rain
now keep in mind see how quickly the grass box is going to fill up it's picking it all up though the
massive favor and clip subscribe to our channel so that we can bring you lots more videos like this
coming on the edges the mower is really the deck goes right to the
edge of the mower so that's a lot easier to be able to get close to your edges
oh I have still there but that is some really tough grass in there but the grass box is full
let's have a look well as you see that grass box is pretty full and it's not it's not wet
grass but it's definitely damp so clean that in here obviously mining up for the blade
there we go push the bar's foot right let's just empty that a minute so web state that
they're two four amp power batteries can last 20 minutes each so you've got 40 minutes of General
mowing obviously in longer grass that's not going to last as long in Short Grass it might
even last a little bit longer but the massive benefit of having two batteries obviously once
you've used one you can then put the other one in the charger so you'll have some charging
that one by the time you finish with the second battery normally when mowers start to die down
you really sort of feel them struggling and they don't still pick up the grass but even
though this is damp still doing a really good job so even in awkward areas the mower free Wheels
really easy so obviously when you're in Corners mowing you don't use the self-propelled so much
this is all very easy spin it round back onto your line again we've still got a proper full-on Metal
Blade underneath which is what you want and it's all got a belt to the back axle so it works in a
very similar principle to a petrol mower where you've got the sort of the engine unit on the
top crankshaft coming down powering it to the blade and then you've got the pulley above that
going back to the back axle which actually got an aluminum house gearbox which on to be fair
most battery mowers it's a plastic house gearbox so it's nice little feature that is looks a good
solid gearbox and obviously running then onto the roller to help you drive along right let's
get this out of the way now I've gone over me hedge trimmons which I shouldn't have there we
go that's the cheat so what you want from a mower is a grass box that just slides on you don't want
to be there fiddling about trying to get it to go on which if you've had lawn mowers before you know
exactly what I mean just goes in and just Clips right on Falls almost Falls onto the mower and
then the flap there goes on and secures that grass box on nicely so one thing I've noticed quite a
lot is this is only a domestic mower designed for homeowners to use in your own Gardens but
it's definitely not a commercial machine but what I find mostly with domestic machines is that as
you're walking behind them you know I'm six foot two with size 12 feet and what I find is I end
up kicking the box as I'm walking because they're just in another or you're doing little tippy toes
to try and not do that everything seems to fit quite nicely so a few other features nice easy
fold handlebars so you've got these two sort of Cam levers on the side and then you can just use
them to pull out and fold that up over watching out for your cables as you do it saddle folds
up nicely like so you can take the grass box off makes it a lot smaller for storing in your garage
or your shed it's nice and compact the one thing I like is the wheels the nice big chunky Wheels
the bigger the wheel the easier it is to push the easier it is to go up slopes and inclines
or even little steps and beds and borders and things so I really like that design and they do
feel really really strong which is nice and they all control the height wise off that one lever at
the back so one thing that might surprise you it's not actually a metal deck on this it's an
ABS plastic deck but it is still very very strong nice thing about that is you won't get the fatigue
like you do in a steel deck which will Rust and go horrible and manky this will stay pretty much
well we all know Plastics like right so this is a first for me I've never in my life mulched with a
roller mower because in my opinion when you're mulching it leaves all grass behind in little
pieces but this is a roller on the back which is likely to stick to so in my brain it doesn't
work but let's try it out I hope I'm wrong so the mulch plug here this is your plastic mulch plug it
goes in the back of your mower like so and Clips in so that seals the depth let's give it a go
well that's it's doing what it's supposed to it is mulching the grass and rolling it a mulch stripe
oh we're in thicker grass this isn't designed for very most here and remember this grass is really
wet oh I might run out of battery I have right so not fairness we've done about 20 minutes of Mowing
and yes the batteries run out exactly what Webb said it would 20 minutes so how the oh hello where
did that come from as if by Magic another battery has appeared pop that out of there that's the old
one pop the new one in right way around James there you go those are right in the wrong way
just so you're aware full battery time right I'm joking don't do that and we're up and going again
and it's doing it let me know in the comments what your view
is on mulching and using a roller at the same time
just different isn't it have you done it have you had any experience over that doing that before
right I'm pleasantly surprised I've been proved wrong it turns out you can mulch and stripe all
at the same time so I've mulched that so you can see the grass you know the grass is still
here oh mulching it's left of stripe yeah bits of grass everywhere as you do get mulching and
it's damp so it's a little bit clumpy which to expect don't ever mulch in the rain it just
doesn't work but yeah I like it I'm pleasantly surprised right what can I find wrong with this
mower I can't even offer you any negatives as a domestic mower for a homeowner it's it's
perfect it's just perfect but if you want one of these or looking to buy one of these
then web have a national network of stockists please check out their website to find out more
information the link is in the description of this video that is the web 40 volt new battery
roller which can also mulch I'm so surprised so surprised anyway please like share and
subscribe and we'll see you in the next one with Machinery Nation thank you very much
