Yard Force 40V 34cm Cordless Lawnmower with lithium ion battery & quick charger LM G34A - GR 40 range, orange

Bought this 37cm 40 volt mower 6 months ago in April. Assembly fairly easy - took about 25 minutes. I discovered a large mulching plug in the box, but strangely, I could find no mention of it in the instructions. Charged battery for an hour. I have 3 lawns, all have wavy edges, which of course adds time to any mowing. There are 2 smaller lawns of 70 sq. metres & 85 sq. metres, both on flat ground. The third is 295 sq. metres on a very slight slope. It took me 9 minutes to mow the 70sqm lawn, but then the weather took a turn for the worse, so I brought the mower in & charged the battery. Two days later I managed to mow nearly all of the large lawn in 39 minutes before the battery ran out. After a 1 hour charge, I finished the large lawn & mowed the 85 sqm lawn & still had 2 lights showing on the battery. Although I'm no spring chicken & have some serious health problems, I found the mower very light & extremely easy to manoeuvre. The design & position of the handle is perfect for me, allowing single handed use in awkward places. It cuts well & stripes ok, although my large lawn is now pretty bumpy because of the hard, dry summer. Height adjustment is a breeze. The bag holds a lot & once I got used to it I had no problem positioning it back on the mower. I was a bit worried having seen some negative reviews regarding battery power & assembly, but I had none of those problems. I bought a second battery which was on offer & recently mowed all 3 lawns in 2 & a half hours including cleaning the mower twice & a quick cup of tea! Previously, the same job with an electric mower was taking me double the time, & I was struggling to cope with cables, extension leads & circuit breaker & eventually had to get my poor other half to do it. Now, I can do it myself! UPDATE: It's April 2023 & although a lot of reviewers recently seem to have had problems with this mower or the batteries, I am happy to report that after mowing my three lawns twice this month, both my batteries held their charges over winter & gave 39 & 36 minutes use. Still very happy!

Bought this to replace my corded Bosch mower. Going cordless has been a game changer - no distractions of trailing leads. For a couple of months, it was perfect for my medium sized lawn. But the battery has degraded - I get max 15 minutes use before I have to abandon my half mowed lawn and have to recharge it. Its now a massive disappointment and I wish I'd kept my Bosch. The battery should have 4 lights when charged fully and run down to 1 when nearly empty. Even after a long charge, mine illuminates only 3 lights - the capacity is degraded. And it stops working when down to 2 lights and requires a further recharge. It delivers 15 minutes, maximum. Very disappointing, I can't recommend for anyone with a reasonably sized lawn. UPDATE after 8 months: wrote to manufacturer about battery degradation. Needed a couple of follow up emails but, within 3 weeks, received replacement battery. Good response. UPDATE after 18 months: replacement battery performed well initially but, after 6 months of inactivity during Winter, has also degraded. Gives max 2 minutes use before running out of juice, irrespective of length of charging cycle. Contacted customer services again - received 2nd replacement battery. CS confirmed that shirt battery life was a know, if infrequent, issue. UPDATE after 22 months: battery failed again - lasts 10 minutes, maximum. Contacted customer services again & requested replacement mower. CS responded same day, awaiting courier collection of my mower next week. Unsure whether repair or replacement will follow. Frustrating. Don't buy one, unless you want to risk being one of 10% of reviewers with battery problems.

Fantastic cordless mower, I purchased a 20v Yardforce extendable hedge trimmer last year and have been impressed so took the plunge and bought the 40v mower, I had seen mixed reviews but after using it both on long and short grass it is amazing, so much easier than my old corded mower, its light to move around and cuts great, battery lasts for both my lawns, then I put on charge for an hour and its full ready for next time. I purchased the 20v strimmer too which uses the same battery as my hedge trimmer, that's great t too, So far I can't fault it!

I received my Yard Force mower today and I'm really pleased with it. I had been using a G-Tec cordless mower prior to this which was double the price, for half the performance compared to the Yard Force! The battery arrived with some charge, but only took an hour to charge. The plus points.... very sturdy, easy to assemble, lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and cut the grass lovely and collected the grass. The only downside to the mower is that I can not get right against the fence to give a good cut along the fence, hence my 4 star rating. This is due to the nuts holding the handle bar protruding out too much. Overall I'm really impressed. This mower is so much better than the G-Tec Cordless mower. It was so nice to cut my grass and not have to collect the grass afterwards. It has made me realise just how bad that mower was.

I wish I'd bought a cordless mower years ago, as it's such a relief not having to worry about extension cables and cutting through the wire. I think I was concerned that it wouldn't be as powerful as a mains-powered mower, but this one is just as effective as any I've had in the past. The assembly is a bit fiddly, but not too bad. The handle is adjustable for height and can fold down when not in use. There are seven height settings for the actual cutting blade and this is simply done with a lever on the left hand side of the body. Once it's assembled and the battery is fully charged, it's operated like most electric mowers by pressing in a button and then pulling a grab handle towards you. I've gone from a hover mower to this one which is on wheels and I much prefer the wheeled type: it's just a case of walking up and down and it gives you stripes on the lawn if that's what you're after. I've found the battery life to be very good: I can do both my front and back lawns on one charge if the grass is not too long - I'm not sure what the area is, but it's been going for about 45 minutes and still has some charge left. You can tell how much charge is left by pressing a small button on the battery and up to four green lights come on. I invested in a spare battery, so that there's always one ready to go, but the batteries are a bit pricey, so it's up to the individual and how much grass they've got to cut. Changing the battery is really simple: just lift up the flap on the battery compartment, press the release button and the battery pops up a little way out of its housing.It then fits into the mains charger which is provided. Once it's charged, just slide it back in and press until it clicks into place. There is a decent sized grass box which lifts on and off, or a mulching tool is provided if you don't want to keep emptying the box. I have never used this, so I can't say how well it works. It's quite a substantial machine, not the lightest, but there is a carrying handle. It's great on the flat and with slight slopes, as long as you cut across the slope and not up and down. All in all, I'm delighted with the mower and would recommend it for anybody with a small to medium-sized lawn.

The best word to describe this lawnmower is Wow! I'm reviewing the new LM G34A 40v model. Lot of people complain cordless mowers struggle with tall grass, they are cheap plastic and battery dies after 15mins. Not this one! Seriously,,, I cut my 2 lawns which are about 100m2, and had 3/4 battery left! I've used it 5x times now and it still only uses about 25% per cut. I never thought the battery would be this good. Well done Yard Force. Please note the charger is quite big though, but does the job. Build quality is sturdy plastic. Not toy like some other models. It has a rear roller for stripy lawns too. A little bit of assembly required with the handle. The images in the manual are tiny so you need good eyes but it's pretty straightforward using common sense. The grass box works well too. I've seen people complain about Worx, Bosch etc but the hybrid box does gather the grass really well. Not too difficult to remove and attach again. Fills up quickly! The blade is steel. This model is collapsible too fo easy storage. It's not super light but has got a carry handle. Quieter than my old Bosch corded one. All in all I'm super happy with this purchase. No more cables to worry about, cordless is the future defo! Please note this is reviewing the newer model LM G34A with 40v Samsung battery.

This is my long-term review, having purchased the mower in May 2023. This was my first cordless powered mower. It’s great that you are not restricted by a chord, and that makes the mowing the lawn so much more simpler. Without having anything to compare to, I initially thought this was a good mower, however over the long-term I’ve found it disappointing and have decided to replace it. The charger for the battery is large and bulky and feels cheap and plasticky. My frustration with the mower is the battery, as after 1.5 years I noticed the battery whilst stating it was charged, would be luck to last more than 10-15 minutes, and would often stop before I finished mowing the lawn. The grass collector is also not very good as when it get full, it spills out back on to the grass. Overall I’m disappointed as I would have expected it to last longer than it has. The mower still works, but is not practical to use due to the poor battery performance. Yes I could buy another battery, however I feeel this would be wasted money. I’ve just purchased an Einhell as a replacement cordless motor and the quality is night and day,however it is more expensive by approx another £100. The new mowever just feels solid, the mower comes with 2 batteries which means it’s not going to run out of charge halfway through, and it mows differently. Even the clipping basket when full, keeps most of the clipping in the basket It’s to early to tell if this will be. Good longterm mower, however from my first mow I’m blown away. This is the model below, if you can afford the extra I would suggest stretching your budget for the Einhell. Einhell Cordless Lawnmower with Battery (x2) and Charger (x2) 36V Power X-Change, 36cm Cutting Width, 40L Grass Box, Brushless Motor, 6 Cutting Heights GE-CM 36/36 Li Electric Lawn Mower

- Poor battery life - Poor build quality - Poor quality control - Missing parts The first unit was missing the curved rectangular washer on one of the quick release handle locks so I ent that back and got a replacement via Amazon (I could not be sure I would get the piece from the manufacturer). The second unit has arrived with a broken grass bag. This grass bag is available to purchase for £40 from the Yard Force site, so they should be able to send out a replacement easily enough. As it had been 3-4 weeks since the last cut with all the returms faff with the first unit, I decided to go ahead and use the unit. The battery came fully charged but I put it on the charger anyway while I was assembling it just to make sure. The assembly was not straightforward due to the poor instructions and the cabling being different to that of the instructions and product images on the box and online. I'm still not sure if I put the extra soft plastic tubular piece where it was supposed to go... The machine is made of quite flimsy plastic, the wheels seem a bit wonky and I think my unit was not quite square as one of the front wheels wasn't quite touching the floor. With the poor build quality in the back of my mind, I percevered and went out to cut my 75m2 lawn (far smaller than the rated 400m2 this model is made for). The battery gave up about 60% of the way through the cut! This was after numerous occurrences of the machine cutting out and getting clogged even though the grass bag was only 50% full. The grass bag full indicator stays permanently down on my unit, it's only supoosed to do that whe the bag is full. Another disappointment. I'm now sat here charging the battery while I write this review with the hope of finishing mowing this small lawn before something worse happens. The very cheap corded Flymo I used previously was a lot better than this unit. Very disappointed as this had good reviews on Gardener's World :( Edit: So I managed to finish the lawn, but one of the cable clips shattered in the process (see image). Just more signs that this is a cheaply made product that won't last.
