The Best Mowers

Brand guide · Updated May 2026

Einhell Lawn Mowers

Einhell is the German brand that decided years ago to undercut Bosch on price while keeping 90% of the build quality. The Power X-Change battery platform now has 250+ tools across drills, mowers, hedge trimmers, vacuum cleaners and weirdly even heated blankets. The mowers themselves are honest, value-focused, and consistently the cheapest entry into "actually decent cordless" you can find. Don\'t expect Bosch polish — but for £100 less per mower, you don\'t need it.

Best for cheap mulching corded

Where Einhell fits vs rivals

Direct rival is Bosch — same German DIY-and-garden positioning, similar tool count, Einhell consistently cheaper. Ryobi is the other value champion with a much wider 280-tool ecosystem. Worx sits at similar pricing but with 80+ tools to Einhell\'s 250+. For most UK domestic buyers, the realistic shortlist is Bosch vs Einhell vs Ryobi — and the choice comes down to which battery ecosystem you want to invest in.

Frequently asked questions

Is Einhell a good lawn mower brand?+
For the price, yes — Einhell consistently delivers 85–90% of the build quality of Bosch or Makita at 60–75% of the price. The Power X-Change battery platform now has 250+ tools across DIY, garden and household categories. As a brand for the value-conscious DIY-focused buyer, it's genuinely strong.
What is Power X-Change?+
Einhell's shared 18V battery platform — same battery across drills, mowers, hedge trimmers, blowers, vacuum cleaners, lights and much more. Higher-output garden tools (mowers, brushcutters) take twin batteries for 36V output. Over 250 tools now on the platform globally.
Where is Einhell based?+
German — founded in 1964 in Landau an der Isar, Bavaria. Modern manufacturing is in China. Einhell is a publicly listed company in Germany and the brand has invested heavily in the Power X-Change platform since 2014.
Einhell vs Bosch — which to buy?+
Bosch if you want the slightly better build and a wider UK retailer footprint. Einhell if price matters more and you don't mind a slightly less polished user experience. On any direct mower comparison, the Einhell is usually 25–30% cheaper for 90% of the experience. For value buyers, that's a clear win.
