    Hi

    Need a cost effective lawnmower with mulching kit...spotted this for next week at Lidl

    http://www.lidl.ie/ie/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20080313.p.RearWheelDrivePetrolLawnmower

    Anyone any opinions? Anyone bought one last year? Would welcome your comments. I've found Lidl or Aldi electrical and other stuff good value and good quality in the past.

    Hi Builderwoman,

    I don't know much about that machine, but I have heard that alot of lawnmower distributors will not service machines sold by the likes of Lidl, B&Q etc.

    Maybe a used machine from somewhere like Ruffleys would be another option.

    P.

    That's a very good point prospect...never thought of that...thanks so much for your advice. Looking at the ad further the cut is only 46cm anyway which would take ages to do our garden. Will def check out Ruffleys.

    Many many thanks,
    BW!

    To be fair, if the engine is B+S and u get a spare plug and spare blades, all for 280 euro, unless u are very unlucky it should never need to go for a service, changing the oil should not be difficult for 'Builderwoman! '

    280 euro wont get u very far in any service shop these days, i would regard it as disposable at that price

    The issue may be getting spares if u need them.

    I'd second ircoha's post above: if it has a B&S engine it should be a problem having it serviced. It's cost you less than a tenner (oil and plug change) if you service the machine yourself, it couldn't be easier.
