WebbWER18HP4 18"/46cm Push Rotary Petrol Lawnmower, 140cc 4-Stroke Engine, 8 Cutting Heights, 65L Collection Bag - 3 Year Guarantee

Easy to put together. Works well.

Product seems to be generally good, however the assembly manual has never been read by someone at Webb Garden Power attempting to assemble this mower. For such a simple thing they have sure over complicated this and left large parts to the new owners imagination. A few clear photos is far better than the assembly manual. Installation of the stop start lever and cable is not covered in the manual. The collection bag tongue had me stumped a couple of minutes with no idea what is was for, as its not on the majority of collection bag photos. The collection bag photos in the manual are so grainy i couldnt make out it was even the collection bag. The "multch plug" referred to numerous times is not included. I assume this is no longer included and the back flap is used with the lock tab? Who knows. There's a strange double sided sticky taped foam rubber black piece that just does not stick where intended. The stitching on the foam bag is so bag i've gone round the base with a staple gun to secure it. Runs well. Start really easy. Never have I seen a manual state take the cable off the spark plug before emptying grass collection bag before. Why was the grass collection bag fitting to the mower so intricately designed. This fitting alone needs an instruction manual. Here it is: Stop the engine releasing lever. Pull the cable off the spark plug, get on your knees at the back of the mower, hold handle, lift flap, lift bag. Bag was designed to be too wide to fit between bars like a decent mower so swap hands with bag under mower frame and empty. To reassemble, on your knees again, hand bag under bars to other hand over bars, lift flap, line up the tongue, and then the hooks, check the flappy low rubber seal fit last minute in design hasnt fallen off, let flap down and make sure it hooks on the bag top correctly. Now you have been on your knees more than a prostitute today, get you arse round to the front of the mower, back on your knees and fit the cable onto the spark plug. Thats you done. We hope for your sake you do not have a big lawn.

Nice machine does the job

What I like:I like the build of the machine, it seems decent quality, & feels solid. The bearing wheels suggest longevity & the Briggs engine will no doubt serve adequately for years. Good sizedcollector, I assembled it & the machine easily without needing to refer to the manual.What I don't like:Being told the mower has a 3 year guarantee when there is no reference to this elsewhere. Indeed, the box it comes in says 2 year warranty & the manual advises the need to have the mower serviced by a Webb agent if you want this otherwise it's 1 year. It was the offer of a 3 year warranty that got my interest. If the mower does have a 3 year warranty as advertised I can't see it.The machine is supposed to have a 4 blade cutting system. This is where 4 short blades are attached to a central hub. The idea of this arrangement is that the blades pivot if they hit a hard object. It protects the operator & the machine. Seeing the mower supplied just had a traditional one piece straight blade I phoned Webb. I was informed they had been going to modify their mowers to a 4 blade system but the idea had never come to fruition. The lady said they'd have to tell Amazon about that now. Personally it's no great shakes to me but for someone buying the machine for that reason it may be an issue & the description is of course innacurate.Another thing I didn't like is the ad seems to imply this is a machinr built by a heritage British manufacturer. Webb is an old established British company. I sort of got the impression my mower was made here not in China.I don't blame the excellent Amazon in any way for the above caveats. They sell millions of items & obviously take manufacturers descriptions at face value.Finally, as it's many years since I bought a new mower I looked around bewildered for the throttle lever. It seems modern mowers seldom have one. They jump to life once started & run at full tilt. Rather disconcerting & certainly not something you'd do with your car! But it is apparently commonplace & I'm sure Briggs knows what they're doing. It is possible to buy a mower with a throttle, some Honda's & Masports still have them but these are more expensive machines. Domestic use mowers just run at one speed. Hope this helps someone.

Bought as a gift and I think he loves it as he mows the grass so often now and not only ours but also neighbours, lol. Definitely happy man.

Excellent,everything Spot on,reccomend,all ok,thanks.
