ALLETT KENSINGTON 17H Petrol Cylinder Mower

Allett Kensington 17H Petrol Cylinder Mower: Premium Cylinder Mowing for an Immaculate Lawn

Designed for keen gardeners who expect more from their lawncare equipment, the Allett Kensington 17H Petrol Cylinder Mower delivers a refined, professional-quality finish. Ideal for medium to large domestic lawns up to 700m², this self-propelled cylinder mower combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced engineering. Built by prestigious manufacturer Allett, it reflects everything that’s great about British engineering, offering both exceptional levels of performance and long-term reliability.

Honda Power and Smooth Self-Propelled Drive

Powering the Kensington 17H is a dependable 122cc Honda GX120 petrol engine, known for its durability and consistent output. The recoil system ensures a straightforward start-up, while a 2-litre fuel tank supports extended mowing sessions. Self-propelled drive reduces the effort required to operate the mower, as all you need to do is guide it. This makes it easy to work at a steady, even pace, leaving you free to concentrate on achieving the perfect finish.

Precision Cylinder Cutting Performance

At the heart of this machine is a six-blade Quick Cartridge™ cutting cylinder, designed to deliver a clean, scissor-like cut. Producing 79 cuts per metre, it trims grass cleanly rather than tearing at it, helping to maintain a healthier lawn. The 43cm (17-inch) cutting width strikes an excellent balance between coverage and manoeuvrability, making it very well suited to medium to large domestic gardens. This level of precision is especially valuable when you’re aiming for a fine, formal finish to your lawn.

Micrometric Height Adjustment for Total Control

The Kensington 17H lawnmower features an infinitely variable micro-set height-of-cut adjustment system, ranging from 6mm to 32mm (¼ – 1 ¼ inches). Each click adjusts the height by just 0.75mm, giving you complete control over the final result. This allows you to tailor the cutting height precisely to seasonal conditions and grass type, ensuring consistent results throughout the year.

Enhanced Grass Preparation and Collection

A spring tine grass rake is positioned ahead of the cylinder, lifting flattened grass and removing debris before cutting. This helps achieve a more uniform finish while promoting upright growth. The Kensington 17 H also includes a generous 62-litre grass box, reducing the need for frequent emptying. An auxiliary wheel kit is supplied too, allowing you to manage longer grass when required.

Classic Stripes with Roller System

The Kensington 17H Allett lawnmower is fitted with a zinc-plated steel front roller and a double-section steel rear roller. This combination creates defined, traditional lawn stripes while improving stability during operation. The rear roller incorporates a differential system, enabling smooth turns without scuffing the turf. As a result, you achieve a professional striped finish without leaving wheel marks.

Versatile Cartridge System for Year-Round Care

This superb cylinder lawn mower is compatible with the full range of Allett cartridges. You can expand its functionality with optional attachments such as a 10-blade cylinder, aerator, lawn brush, dethatcher, scarifier, and verticutter. This transforms the Kensington 17H into a complete lawncare system, allowing you to tackle multiple tasks with one machine. All of these cartridges are available to buy as optional extras.

User Comfort and Practical Design

Operator comfort has been well considered in the design of this Allett mower, with three adjustable handlebar height positions to suit different users. The handlebar also folds down, making storage and transport more convenient. Despite its robust build, the lawnmower remains manageable at 53.5kg including the grass box. Every element is designed to make regular lawn maintenance more straightforward and efficient.
