    Elevate your mowing experience from routine to remarkable, with the Allett Kensington 14B Petrol Cylinder Lawn Mower. Including a Briggs & Stratton engine, 6-bladed cutting cylinder and 52-litre grass box, this premium self-propelled mower comes with dual rollers that work in tandem to create clear, lasting stripes for a perfectly manicured lawn.

Why Choose a Cylinder Lawn Mower?

Cylinder lawn mowers are celebrated for their ability to deliver a precise, scissor-like cut that’s unmatched by other mower types. The secret lies in their ingenious design, featuring a rotating cylinder of blades at the front that cuts against a fixed bottom blade. This action snips the grass cleanly, resulting in a beautifully even and smooth finish.

The Advantages of Cylinder Mowers:

1. Pristine Finish: Cylinder mowers excel at delivering a pristine finish that transforms your lawn into a work of art. If you’re after a perfectly manicured look with defined stripes, they are the go-to choice.

2. Variable Cutting Heights: Most cylinder mowers come equipped with adjustable cutting height settings, allowing you to customize your grass length to your preference. This flexibility ensures you can achieve the exact look you desire.

3. Grass Health: The precise cutting action of cylinder mowers promotes healthier grass growth. By cleanly snipping each blade, they reduce the risk of disease and create a vibrant, luscious lawn.

4. Ideal for Small to Medium Lawns: Cylinder mowers are ideally suited for small to medium-sized lawns where their precision and elegance can be best appreciated.

Petrol or Electric: Our selection includes both petrol-powered and electric cylinder mowers. Petrol models offer power and freedom, while electric models provide convenience and eco-friendliness.

Cutting Widths: Choose from different cutting widths to suit your lawn size and requirements. A wider cutting width can save you time on larger lawns.

Grass Collection Options: Depending on the model, you can opt for a cylinder mower with a grass collection box for a tidy finish or one designed to let the clippings fall back onto the lawn, creating a natural mulch.

Maintenance Matters:

To keep your cylinder mower performing at its best, regular maintenance is essential. Sharpening the blades at the beginning of each mowing season ensures a precise cut. Lubricating moving parts and cleaning the mower after use can extend its lifespan and keep it in top condition.

FAQs

How does a cylinder lawn mower differ from a rotary lawn mower?

A cylinder lawn mower cuts grass using a rotating cylinder of blades that passes against a fixed bottom blade, creating a precise, scissor-like action. A rotary lawn mower relies on a horizontal blade spinning at high speed to cut the grass. This cleaner cutting method makes cylinder mowers the preferred choice for anyone seeking a finely finished, ornamental lawn.

Is a cordless cylinder mower suitable for regular lawn maintenance?

Yes. Modern cordless cylinder mowers are powered by efficient lithium-ion batteries, providing reliable performance and enough runtime for regular mowing of small to medium-sized, well-maintained lawns. They also offer the advantages of quieter operation, low maintenance and zero direct emissions.

Will every cylinder lawn mower produce lawn stripes?

Many cylinder lawn mowers are fitted with a rear roller that bends the grass in alternating directions to create the classic striped effect. If you want particularly bold, professional-looking stripes, choose a cylinder mower with a full-width, heavy-duty rear roller designed for decorative lawn care.

Which cylinder lawn mower is best for a compact garden?

For smaller lawns, a manual cylinder mower or a battery cylinder lawn mower with a cutting width of around 35 cm is often the ideal solution. These models are lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and simple to store when not in use.

When should I have my cylinder mower blades sharpened?

To maintain the best cutting performance, cylinder mower blades should normally be sharpened or professionally back-lapped at least once each mowing season. If your cylinder lawn mower is used frequently or on tougher grass varieties, more regular maintenance will help preserve a crisp, healthy cut.
