Hello everybody welcome to my lawn mower review of the Qualcast corded rotary
lawn mower. I've had this lawn mower probably about 5 years actually so
it's a review of how it's been and what it's like to use and the benefits and
the downfalls of the lawn mower. So these are some of the details if you want to
read all those you can just pause the video not very interesting. And here is
actually my lawnmower so as you can see here it is. Now already the front wheel
is collapsed you can see the front wheel they've had to tie the plastic surround
on with a couple of old coat hangers so here's the height adjustment so you can
adjust the height of cutting the grass I normally have it set on thirty. If it
goes to 20 it just cuts into the mud so it's height adjustable there as
you can see look I've had to repair that wheel. I mean maybe you can get spares but
I just did a bit of a bodge there. This is where all the grass collects and you
can see on the back here is you can get a nice stripey lawn with a red roller, but
this one is actually broken because I say I use it, I've been using it over
4 or 5 five years and that's just busted so I couldn't be bothered to try to
put that back on it doesn't affect the actual lawn mowing but it just means
I don't get nice stripes. And it's obviously got a safety feature which
most lawn mowers have so you have to push the button in and pull that handle
back for it to activate.
There you go.
Right so this is the the power cord now this is the one thing that's
quite disappointing about this lawnmower it's meant for medium to large sized
Gardens but the power cord is literally 10 meters long so we're talking 30 feet
now I've got just a normal garden medium-sized and it doesn't even stretch
halfway up the garden so you have to drag this great big power extension
around with you which is a bit of a pain actually. So
this is me just mowing the lawn.
As I say I've got it set on number 30 to get a good cut.
All right so here we go. Ooh it's so exciting.
It really is exciting right let's speed this up - too much excitement for one
video. Right so we've got got this little air flap here so when when it's empty
that flap is open because the air is flowing through there when the
grass when the box is full up of grass that will be shut so you know that it's
full up, which is you know not a bad little feature so here we go so this
needs emptying it just pulls off really simply and then we just go and put that
in the garden bin or put it in your composter.
Put it in the garden bin that's nice and easy to empty what you can do is if the grass is a bit
wet and it gets stuck at the back you can just give it a bit of a wiggle and
then the rest of the grass comes out because it's a it's like a flexible box
so it's quite nice for storage as well if you're a bit short of storage there
you go look this just gets any last bits out. And then it just sits back in here
nice and snugly. As I say I've had this lawnmower about five years it's starting
to fall apart but the motor is still good I sharpen the blades a couple of
times just with an old file, just did it myself didn't have to take the
blade off just give them a bit of a sharpen and then importantly after
you've cut the grass if the grass is a bit wet it mulches up and it it sticks
on the underside of the lawnmower so it's really important to keep this clear
otherwise you'll find the motor can jam and you'll burn out the motor so keep
that nice and clear just use an old bit of wood don't use metal because you'll
damage the plastic under tray so just give that a nice clean.
There we go and then obviously put that all in the garden bin or in your
composter, so it keeps it all nice and clean for next time it's best to do it
when you've just done it if you let the grass dry it's a lot harder to to scrape
off now this is the mulcher attachment what you can do is you can put this in
plug this into the lawnmower, instead of it collecting the grass it just mulches
it back into the ground so when you haven't got much grass to cut you can
just leave that plugged in quite a nice little feature. So this is the fold
down handles you can just pull these away and then the handle just folds back
down so it's easy to store in your shed or in your garage. Just you know
makes it a bit smaller then obviously you can take the grass collector off.
Fold that down store that somewhere else.
And then obviously got the big handle in the middle so you can just pick it up
and then just put it away. There we go I'll just chuck mine in the
greenhouse, so that's a review of the [Can't say it] Qualcast rotary lawnmower, hope
that's helped somebody out there maybe it has, maybe it hasn't and I'll be very
surprised if you got to the end of this video cause I'm struggling. Cheers for
watching Guys and Girls. That is the End.
