What size of lawn mower should I get?

It is important to choose the ideal size of lawnmower since this will make a huge difference when it comes to ease of use. If you will get a large one for a small garden or lawn, then you will have a hard time manoeuvring it in tight corners, while getting a small mower for a larger lawn will take up a lot of your time when cutting all the grass.

The blade width is the basis of a lawn mower’s size. So if the larger the blade, the larger the lawn mower is and the more grass it will be able to cut on every pass. If you have a small lawn, the cutting width should be 300mm, medium lawn is 230-400mm and for large lawn it’s 400mm+.
