Exceptional Buy For Mountfield Lawnmowers





Recently I purchased a Mountfield mower from the World Of Power and I must say, it really was a great investment! A lot of their mowers, even hover mowers are an excellent value, the lowest priced mower starting at only 37 pounds!

I have always owned a self propelled gas mower but in Britain they can be quite expensive and for home use we decided to go for more less expensive and traditional brand, that is why we decided to take a look at the Mountfield mowers.

I have to admit, at first it was the fact that this lawnmower had a rear roller and was capable of making the stripy effect on a lawn that I love but after finding out it also had five settings to adjust for lawn height as well as a being a great buy especially for a petrol mower, I was hooked.

On top of all of that my new Mountfield petrol lawnmower is capable of picking up 55 litres of lawn clippings, which to me is terrific as it saves me numerous trips to the compost bin! It also has a high density steel cutter deck and again to me this is great because I know it can take a good beating without breaking, as I seem to mow over a lot of rocks and sticks.

Obviously a petrol mower is a lot better than an electric mower as there is no cords to have to constantly deal with and it is just a matter of filling it up my Mountfield and going. I am now able to achieve the look I want on my lawn with the knowledge my Mountfield mower is not going to break on me, although it does have a 2 year warranty.

Now all I have to do is wait for the grass to grow again,and another great part is I don't even have to buy any engine oil as I got this free with my Mountfield mower! Thumbs up for World Of Power and their terrific Mountfield lawn mowers!
