The Best Mowers

Mac Allister Lawn Mowers

Mac Allister is the B&Q house brand — Kingfisher plc\'s answer to "we need a mower for £69". Sounds budget, is budget, and yet the corded electric mowers are honestly fine for small UK lawns. Two-year warranty backed by B&Q\'s national returns network. Click-and-collect across a thousand stores. Not a step up from Bosch or Flymo, but a step up from no-name Amazon brands. Worth knowing about if budget rules.

Frequently asked questions

Are Mac Allister lawn mowers any good?+
For sub-£100 corded electric mowers on a small lawn, surprisingly yes. Mac Allister is B&Q's house brand (owned by Kingfisher plc, the same parent that owns Castorama and Brico Dépôt). The mowers are sourced from various Far East factories with a B&Q-specified spec. Build quality is honest budget — better than no-name supermarket brands, not as refined as Bosch or Flymo.
Where can I buy Mac Allister mowers?+
B&Q only — high-street stores and bnq.co.uk. They're not stocked by other retailers. Click-and-collect to over a thousand UK B&Q stores makes returns easy if the mower has a problem.
Is Mac Allister the same as Bosch or Flymo?+
No. Mac Allister is a B&Q-exclusive brand using its own factories. The mowers are not rebadged Bosches or Flymos. They're cheaper and built to a budget price point.
