Why Go Electric Rotary?

Electric rotary mowers are hugely popular—and it’s easy to see why. They combine user-friendly features with consistent, powerful performance, while being kinder to the environment than petrol-powered models. Let’s take a closer look at why so many people opt for electric rotary…

1. Hassle-Free Start and Operation

Starting your electric rotary lawnmower couldn’t be easier—no petrol, no priming, no pull cords. Simply plug in and switch on to get mowing. This ease of use is ideal for gardeners who want a straightforward experience from start to finish.

2. Lower Maintenance, Longer Life

Unlike petrol-powered models, electric lawnmowers don’t require oil checks or spark plug changes. Fewer moving parts mean fewer things that can go wrong, and your maintenance routine becomes a quick post-mow clean and occasional blade check.

3. Quiet and Neighbour-Friendly

Corded rotary mowers (and their cordless counterparts) run significantly quieter than traditional petrol machines. You’ll be able to mow in peace without disturbing neighbours—or your own Sunday afternoon.

4. Zero Emissions at the Point of Use

Electric rotary lawnmowers are a greener option for the environmentally conscious. Because they don’t emit fumes during use, they contribute to cleaner air in your garden and beyond.

5. Reliable, Uninterrupted Power

Electric motors deliver a consistent level of performance throughout your mowing session. With corded rotary mowers, you don’t have to worry about running out of fuel. With cordless models, battery technology has evolved to offer long-lasting charge and quick recharging options.

6. Simple, Straightforward Rotary Blade

Thanks to the straightforward design of using a single rotating blade, electric rotary mowers are easier to manufacture, and therefore cheaper to buy, than cylinder models. This simplicity of design also makes them robust, durable, and extremely versatile lawnmowers.

Choosing the Right Mower for Your Lawn

Not all lawns are created equal, and not all mowers are suited to every situation. At Ron Smith, we stock electric rotary mowers to suit gardens of all shapes and sizes.

Cutting Width Considerations

If your lawn is small and intricate, go for a mower with a narrower cutting width—it’ll offer better manoeuvrability around borders and ornaments. For larger, open lawns, a wider deck helps you cover more ground in less time.

Corded vs. Cordless: What’s Right for You?

A corded rotary lawnmower is a great option for smaller spaces with easy access to a mains power supply. There’s no battery charging required, and the power supply is constant. For more freedom of movement, especially in larger gardens, a cordless electric rotary mower offers the flexibility to mow without being tethered to a power socket.

Grass Disposal Options

Most models come with rear grass collection boxes for tidy results, while some offer mulching capabilities—where grass clippings are finely chopped and returned to the lawn as a natural fertiliser. Both methods help keep your garden neat while reducing your workload.

Caring for Your Electric Rotary Lawnmower

Although these mowers are relatively low-maintenance, regular care will extend their lifespan and maintain performance. After each use, brush off any grass build-up from the blades and deck. Keep an eye on blade sharpness—sharp blades make cleaner cuts and promote healthier grass. Make sure all fastenings are tight, and store your mower in a dry, sheltered place.

FAQs

What is the difference between a corded and cordless rotary lawnmower?

A corded electric rotary mower needs to be plugged into the mains, offering continuous power—great for smaller lawns. A cordless electric rotary lawnmower runs on a rechargeable battery, giving you more freedom to move around, making it ideal for medium to larger gardens where power access might be limited.

Can I use an extension lead with my corded rotary lawnmower?

Yes, as long as it’s an outdoor-rated extension cable with the correct amp for your mower. Make sure the cable is long enough to reach all corners of your lawn without strain, and always keep safety in mind to avoid trip hazards.

How often should I sharpen the blade on my electric rotary mower?

A sharp blade ensures a clean, healthy cut. For most domestic users, sharpening once or twice a season should be enough. If you mow frequently or hit a lot of debris, you might need to sharpen more often.

Is an electric rotary lawnmower suitable for wet grass?

It’s best to avoid mowing wet grass. Not only can it clog your mower deck, but it can also result in an uneven cut, damage your lawn, and increase the risk of slipping. Wait until the lawn has dried for safer, more effective mowing.

Which electric rotary mower should I choose for a small garden?

For smaller gardens, a corded rotary mower with a compact cutting width (around 30-34 cm) is ideal. Also, look for a lightweight model that’s easy to store and manoeuvre around tight corners or raised beds.
