You need a mower to keep your grass short, vibrant and green, but there are so many options available to you. How do you choose the right one for your needs and budget? This guide will outline our wide range of mowers and take you through the different types available.

Cutting Edge offers Husqvarna, GARDENA and Rolux mowers to suit every requirement and price range. From small townhouse gardens to sprawling estates, we have the ideal mower for you. Let’s jump straight in.

Understanding the different types of mowers

Let’s start by examining the various mowers out there before getting into our particular models. The most basic type of lawnmower is a manual push model driven by human strength. They provide an excellent workout, do not require petrol or electricity, are eco-friendly, and are perfect for smaller lawns. These are the cheapest and most basic mowers on the market.

For medium-sized lawns, traditional lawnmowers – usually powered by petrol or electricity – are more effective and powerful. They are adaptable to a range of applications because they are available in a variety of cutting widths and characteristics. 

Larger properties are the target market for ride-on mowers, which provide comfort and efficiency over wide regions. They have broad cutting decks and strong engines. Lastly, the state-of-the-art in lawn care technology is delivered by robotic mowers. These self-sufficient devices, which follow preset schedules, effortlessly manage your grass without intervention.

Cutting Edge’s range of mowers

We pride ourselves in providing a large variety of premium lawnmowers from reputable manufacturers like GARDENA, Husqvarna and Rolux. We have the following models:

  • Husqvarna Exclusive 54 – This reliable and robust push mower is perfect for homeowners looking for an affordable tool for small- to medium-sized lawns. It’s a no-frills, no-fuss machine with a long-lasting design which guarantees a consistent, clean cut.
  • GARDENA Cylinder Mower – This push mower offers a precise, scissor-like cut, making it perfect for anyone who wants a neat, striped lawn. It’s simple to operate and slightly more complicated than the Exclusive 54 in its design and functionality.
  • Husqvarna LC 151 – This is a powerful petrol-powered lawnmower that is ideal for tough jobs and larger lawns. It has a strong cutting deck and a reliable engine, making it one of our most popular lawnmower models for residential gardens in Zimbabwe.

  • Husqvarna LB 144i – This battery-powered lawnmower combines the strength of a petrol engine with the ease of cordless operation. It is an excellent option for suburban gardens due to its silent operation and zero emissions. Best of all, the batteries used to power this mower are compatible with other Husqvarna gardening machines and tools.
  • Rolux electric lawnmowers – Rolux electric lawnmowers offer a quiet and convenient cutting experience for consumers who are concerned about the environment and have smaller gardens. They need little upkeep and are simple to handle. We have four models with electric motors varying between 2kW and 3kW.
  • GARENA robotic mowers – Taking care of your lawn is simplified with robotic mowers. They are completely autonomous, mowing your lawn on their own and, when necessary, they will return to their charging station to recharge. We have three GARDENA robotic mowers available; the SILENO minimo 500m2, SILENO life 750m2, and the SILENO life 1250m2. As their names suggest, they are designed to handle various lawn sizes, so we sell these based on the size of your garden.

  • Husqvarna 420, 430X, 450X, and 550 EPOS Automowers – These are high-end robotic mowers designed to handle bigger, trickier lawns. They provide cutting-edge features like weather timers, GPS-assisted navigation, and remote control through smartphone apps. Again, we sell these mowers based on the size of your lawn.
  • Husqvarna TS 144 – With its comfortable riding and effective cutting capabilities, this garden tractor is perfect for bigger properties. Large areas are quickly covered by its broad cutting deck and it has a reliable engine. The cutting deck is located between the front and rear wheels.
  • Husqvarna R 316TX – This rider has articulated steering and the cutting deck is located in front of the front wheels. This gives it outstanding manoeuvrability. It is suitable for properties with intricate landscaping since it can easily move around obstructions, trees and confined spaces.
  • Husqvarna Z248F and Z460 Zero-Turn Mowers – Zero-turn mowers are the largest models available. They provide unparalleled speed and manoeuvrability for the highest level of mowing efficiency. Professional landscapers and expansive, open spaces are ideal for these machines. Schools, golf courses and parks are most likely to need Zero Turn mowers for their fields, fairways and grassy lawns.

Choosing the right mower for your needs

The size of the lawn, the terrain, and the budget all play a role in choosing the best mower. An electric or manual push mower could be adequate for small, level lawns. Mowers that run on petrol or batteries are ideal for medium-sized lawns. The most effective choice for large properties is a ride-on mower or a zero-turn mower. A robotic mower is a great purchase if you appreciate ease of use and low maintenance.

Think about the following:

  • Lawn size – Wider cutting decks and stronger engines are needed for larger lawns. However, some robotic mowers are capable of cutting up to 10 000 square metres of lawn.
  • Terrain – A mower with larger wheels or all-wheel drive may be necessary in uneven terrain or bushy gardens.
  • Budget – Since mower prices can vary greatly, it’s important to establish a spending limit before you begin your search.
  • Environmental concerns – Compared to petrol-powered mowers, electric and battery-powered mowers are more environmentally friendly. However, with Zimbabwe’s ongoing electricity shortages, petrol-powered mowers certainly have their benefits.
