Product Information

The old Gtech Falcon could not compete with the likes of Bosch and Hyundai, but this new Gtech Cordless Lawnmower 2.0 does not only compete, but in some respects beats these other brands. Gtech seem to have put a lot of thought and work into this new cordless mower to ensure they are ahead of the game in terms of innovation and battery technology. Well done Gtech. They branched out into the gardening market a few years ago and have done well, putting their expertise of designing lightweight cordless appliances into the lawn keeping sector. Having now launched the second iteration of their lawn mower, it’s time to take a look at the latest garden tech from Gtech. With no trailing wires or messy petrol motors, you'll be glad you chose a Gtech cordless lawn mower. Although there are more competitors around now than when the original model first launched, Gtech have still managed to produce a compelling product that is perfect if you have a small to medium-sized garden.

Overall, things have improved with the 2.0. The Falcon had a 36V battery which has been upgraded to a 48V one to provide more power. The new model has also gone on a diet, undergoing a 20% reduction in weight despite a 10L increase in grass box capacity.The Gtech Cordless Lawnmower 2.0 is equipped with one 42 cm wheeled carbon steel metal mower blade that provides them two very effective benefits… Also the power system is completely electric so it produces zero emissions and works extremely quietly. Which is quieter between the Gtech Cordless Lawnmower and the Flymo Mighti-Mo 300? Well there’s not much between them with both guaranteeing sound power level below 90dB. For more information please see table below. With regard to the mono blade, I initially thought the same regarding the balance and vibrations, however I didn’t notice anything to worry about. When I was cutting the extremely long grass and the blade was somewhat covered with damp grass, you do notice a slight wobble as the mower starts up. As soon as it is up to speed there is no vibration. To prevent you from losing the key it is securely tied to the mower (although they can be replaced if needed for a reasonable fee).

One big selling point of the Gtech over its competitors is its fast charging. By only taking an hour to charge it means that you can use it, plug it in and have it fully charged all before your kids finish the latest Pixar movie.As I found, some of the negative comments are due to the grass box being a bit fiddly to fit and some comment that it is too expensive compared to some of its competitors. It’s incredibly easy to use, and with such a lightweight design, even the elderly can use it. Once you’re done, storing the mower doesn’t take that much space, so even if you have limited storage space, it’s still a good option.
