WebbWER410HP 16"/41cm Push Rotary Petrol Lawnmower, 132cc 4-Stroke Engine, 7 Cutting Heights, 45L Collection Bag - 3 Year Guarantee

Arrived ahead of schedule. Easy to assemble and filling oil wasn’t a problem as some other reviews mention. Just use a funnel. It didn’t come with bottle of engine oil included as some mention which was disappointing. Nice weight and easy to manoeuvre. Only used twice so far and probably doesn’t cut as low as I want but does cut well. Good price and would recommend.

On my third petrol lawnmower and realise the importance of reading reviews and descriptions.Arrived exactly as described - trackeddelivery and in perfect condition.Mostly assembled- except for handles and a couple of clips.Filling the oil is as tricky as everyone says. Really need a funnel with a bit of tubing. Was expecting this but still tricky.Followed all instructions and it started first time, really effortless action. Grass was cut well and every blade of grass was in the bag.Self-propelled was easier than pushing (duh, that's why I got it!!). Not too speedy for me. Is stop and start at first, but soon get a feel.Has a good robust feel to it - and didn't seem to use much petrol on first cut. Very impressed and would recommend

Key features: 41cm (16") cut, 132cc, 4 stroke, 2.6kw, 45L box, 26kg (57lb)*, single point height adjustment, self propelled. Arrived with a 0.6L bottle of SAE30 engine oil.* Presumably dry weight, add weight of oil, petrol, add weight of a full grass box.Good balance between power, self propelled, grass box capacity, weight, manueverability. Good for small to medium lawns, multiple lawned areas, shaped lawns. Large regular shaped lawns may benefit for a wider cut width and larger grass box.Other petrol mowers may well have larger width of cut, but they have a larger/heavier deck. They may have a larger grass collection box so fewer trips to the compost heap/garden waste, however a full grassbox can be quite heavy.The 45L grass box is retained VERY firmly, the mower fills the box to full with no leakage from the base. The opening of the grass box is a bit too small. You have to tease out grass from a full box to start the outflow; you soon get the knack of it.This mower is small/light enough for use on small to medium lawns, and getting into some awkward areas of irregular shaped lawns (best in manual/push mode).There is some resistance (compared to a standard push mower) when reversing the mower, this is due to the presence of the accessory drive to the rear axle.I use the self propel function on straight runs only, it is a little too fast to control along the edge of a curved/shaped lawn and during turns. The mower is not too heavy to push manually. The self propel function comes into its own on longer straight runs; very pleasing to use even on slight inclines with a full box (which is heavy work even with an electric push mower).I prefer a medium cutting height (setting 4); this leaves a healthy length of grass blade which developes strong roots and resistance to dry conditions. To avoid a tuft of uncut grass you need to overlap slightly on each run. I find it best to overlap slightly more, to prevent the wheels flattening the grass in the same place in both directions. This gives the mower blade opportunity to drawn up/cut the grass that was flattened on the previous run.As it says in the instructions, best to start off with a push, then engage the self propulsion; this avoids sudden take off/jolting. Also release the self propulsion before coming to a turn.The position and angle of the oil filler makes it difficult to pour in oil - even with a small funnel. The oil drain plug is just above the deck making draining oil tricky. I bought an oil Syphoning Kit from Amazon which will suck the old oil out of the filler port at the end of the season. I could probably also use this to conveniently insert the new oil (or drain fuel if required).Cold Start:Prime 3 times, starts on first pull.Hot Start:Manual says no prime, just pull, if that fails, prime once and pull.The first pull often fails for me, so tend to prime once then a single pull often works. If not, let it rest/cool for a few minutes, then go again.Pros:Good value for Money.Not too noisy.Good starts from cold.Single point height adjustment works very well.Freedom from trailing electric cables; speeds up the job.Self propulsion is very useful.Good combination of power, weight, manoeuvrebility.Cons:Fumes (as with all petrol mowers)Hot starts can be a little tricky.Grass box opening rather small.Heavier than an electric mower.Location of oil fill cap and drain bolt not ideal.No rear roller for striping and mowing over edge of lawn.Requires more maintenance than electric mower (routine fuel/oil top up, periodic maintenance - oil change, check/replace air filter/spark plug).Comments:Would be a winner if it had a rear roller on this neat 16" mower.Anyone that has difficulty with cold or hot starts should consider an electric start model. However, they tend to be larger, heavier and less manueverable.Be aware that there is another 16" self propelled mower with a smaller engine capacity (120cc); no experience with that model.

Works great. Cuts quickly and efficiently

Excellent value for money easy to manage cuts the lawn nice and short

Had this machine for just 13 months and the metal casing underneath is warped inwards leading the blade to hit the underside and making the machine unusable, unsafe and very loud. Came with a three year guarantee but I have to drive 20 miles to my nearest centre to drop it off to be inspected. Paid under 300 for it and I think I'll just buy something else rather than faf about with trying to get a replacement/repair. Looking at reviews it seems to be a common fault. The metal is just too soft and the front wheels don't adjust so even a flat lawn will make this metal warp inward, reducing the clearance for the blade to work. Save yourself the bother a year down the line and just buy something else. X

I have just purchased a Webb self-propelled petrol lawnmower (model WER410SP). The “Pros” : arrived quickly; easily assembled; the machine looks well constructed; comes with a bottle of oil and a filling tube (nice touch); starts and performs well; and cuts grass nicely. The important “Cons”; to get the stated 2nd and 3rd year warranty, the machine must be be serviced by an authorised service dealer. From where I live the nearest dealer involves a 66 mile round trip (north of London) in one direction and going South, a round trip of 84 miles. Both unacceptable for one person in a salon car. The next major issue involves the self-propelled mechanism. On the lightest of touches to the drive lever the machine will rapidly accelerate with such a force that it can easily pull the machine out of your hands. I contacted the service and support number only to be told that this is factory set by the engine manufacturer and cannot be adjusted, and they could not/or would not do anything about this. I note that this issue has previously been raised in earlier reviews. These last two issues seriously detract for what is otherwise a good product.

My partner is very happy with the mower which was a gift. It cuts well, runs well, and he's very satisfied with it.
