This is a Liberty 43 Lithium-Ion battery cylinder mower and I'm about to have a go
on it. Before we start mowing we have to place the key into the battery compartment,
wait for a click then attach the safety key. For the height of the cut on my lawn I will
be using setting number 1. To change the height of cut you adjust it with the knob at the back.
To start the Liberty 43; engage the red button pull the lever back, that gets the cylinder
rotating and the handle at the rear will push the mower forward.
There are six speeds to the Liberty I need to go a bit faster so I'm going to use number five.
The Liberty mower is a push-button start which I'm not used to with using
a push mower. It's very easy to start. One-click, pull handle and away we go.
I find the Liberty very lightweight to use. I'm quite surprised how lightweight and how you can
move it so so easy across the lawn. One of the features with the Allett Liberty is the battery
and the mower itself is really really quiet. I live in a cul-de-sac which if I think I used a
petrol mower it would be a bit too noisy to use in here so the Liberty being a battery powered mower
I think will be a good option. 40 minutes duration with the battery life. I've been mowing my lawn
for the last 10 minutes and I've used one bar of battery life. A great feature of this as you can
see it is cordless so no trailing wires and no possible accidents of slicing cables. It's easy
to move along the lawn movability and turning of the mower is very impressive. The cut of
the lawn looks really nice as well as you can see there's no effort at all to this mower.
As you can see from the cut of the lawn at the moment it has been a great cut using
the Liberty mower. Having now used a six blade cartridge it has given a nice tight
cut to my lawn and it would be a good addition to anyone's lawn. I have just
cut the lawn and now I'm going to test out their verticut cartridge .First of all we
need to take off the side cover by removing the four bolts. Then we need to remove the
two locking nuts which hold in the cartridge located on either side. Hold firm the handle
and lift the cartridge up and out. Now we're going to replace it with a verticut cartridge.
Reattach the two locking nuts either side to secure the cartridge into place then we need
to replace the side cover we need to retighten the four screws which are embedded in the side cover.
I have an issue on this lawn with some lateral
grass so the verticut cartridge will stand up the grass for me.
As you can see it has lifted the lateral grass up so I can then go across and cut it again.
Having now used the verticut as you can see it is lifted all the lateral grass up which will
now enable me to use the cylinder mower to cut these lateral pieces which are standing. I've
now attached the scarifier cartridge and now going to use it on my lawn .Before I start I'm
just going to check how much life is left in the battery. To check the remaining charge of
the battery we'll press the green button and it's telling me there are two lights
remaining which is plenty of charge. I'm quite surprised how much this unit is actually taken
out of the lawn - removing quite a bit of thatch that you can't actually see-
a great addition to the Liberty. As you can see these are my grass clippings and this is
using the lawn rake with the Liberty. Can you notice the brown colour in this pile which is
the thatch which has been ripped out of my lawn? Having now used the scarifying unit to
take the thatch out of my lawn it has done a really good job on my lawn and i'd recommend
this to anyone. Having used the Liberty for the first time my overall impressions of
the Liberty are; It's easy to start, the movability on the lawn, the overall cut,
the performance the battery life, it's an all-around good machine.
