A ride-on mower can make short work of a large and vigorous lawn. Our buying guide will help you choose a good model.

Ride-on mowers cut a wide swathe of grass – anywhere from 700mm to over one metre. Compare this with the 460 to 480mm width of the standard walk-behind rotary mower and you can see how much more quickly you can mow large areas.

We explain what features to look for (and try out) when buying a ride-on mower.

Note: This report does not contain test results or model-specific recommendations.
