The largest gardens require the extra muscle provided by this selection of petrol lawn mowers from top brands like Hyundai and Einhell.

By Joseph Green

Lawn mowers come in many shapes and sizes, with electric, cordless, manual, and petrol devices on offer for every type of garden and gardener. Normally, we would recommend a cordless option for the convenience they offer, but sometimes these devices just don’t cut it (get it?).

Larger lawns demand a little more power, and for that you’ll need a petrol mower. These can go for longer, with motor assistance helping you get around your property. They are also pretty noisy and powerful, which is kind of cool if you’re into that sort of thing. 

There are plenty of impressive petrol lawn mowers on offer from brands like Hyundai, Einhell, and Murray. In fact, there are so many brands and models to choose from that it can be seriously difficult to pick just one. You should pick one though, because nobody needs multiple petrol lawn mowers. It doesn’t matter how big your lawn is. One lawn mower is enough.

To help you pick the right model for your lawn, we have shortlisted a selection of top mowers from some of the biggest gardening brands. We have checked out a wide range of petrol lawn mowers and considered customer reviews, features, and price. Basically, we have done all of the hard work so you don’t have to. We’re nice like that.
