Murray 2 x 18 V (36 V) Lithium-Ion 37 cm Cordless Lawn Mower IQ18WM37, Including 2 x 2.5 Ah Battery and Dual Charger

 

Wish I’d known you have to push although it is very light. Has to be fully charged to get round my small,lawn. Collects the grass well in the box reducing the emptying stops .

 

This is a great little mower, very light weight and easy to use. As its so maneuverable it actually cuts the grass in half the time it took with our old petrol mover. I would have given it 5 stars but for the grass box kept coming off due to bad design. There is however a very easy fix. Attach a bungey strap between the front of the mower and the back of the grass box. This works a treat, takes 2 seconds to take on and off and completely stops the grass box falling off.

 

Easy to use – although the grass collector keeps falling off.
We have to recharge batteries in between the cut as we have a large lawn but cuts well

 

With this being my first battery mower I was unsure as to how it would handle my lawn and I was most impressed. The assemble was very basic being almost primitive and it was up and running in under 10 minutes of arrival! I was too impatient to wait for the morning dew tp dry so took my brand new machine out for a test and I was thoroughly impressed. The lawmnmower is light and very easy to manouver while also feeling very sturdy in the hand. I found that you do need to make sure the bucket is attached correctly as a number of times I found fallling off due to user error. As for the batteries they did need recharging as the grass was damp and left uncontrolled for roughly 3 months however that was to be expected. I will also mention I bought this product with the rest of the 18v line up allowing batteries to be used across the tools which is very handy. This lawmower has made gardening more fun for me!

 

It’s fine and does the job. But I can’t do my front garden and rear in a single charge.

I need to recharge about 2/3 way through the job.

I’m mowing excessively at the moment because of the speed my lawn is growing at, so I’m using it twice a week and only on setting 4. So it’s a relatively high cut.

I’m finding if I leave it a week, the lawn has gown too much and is too dense. So not only does it not have the power to cut through, but the batteries run out much quicker.

It’s not a bad mower… it’s alright… but it just suffers with the issue most battery driven things do. Not enough power vs a corded or petrol one, and runs out of juice too quick.

But I’ve rated it 4* overall as it’s better than messing with a chord – especially for larger gardens, and also less weight/hassle than a petrol one.

You’ve just got to either do it often to keep the demand on the batteries down, or resolve yourself to needing to charge the batteries part way though.

 

I dropped a star because the grass box kept falling off, I had to thrash it with a hammer and now its fine! The batteries last well, and if you charge them up after you have mowed the lawn and take them off the charger, they are still fully charged two weeks later, and probably would be for many more weeks. I find it easy to use and very light which is great as I am getting on a bit. Assembly wasn`t all plain sailing and I got the screw on side things the wrong way round after following a video on youtube where the guy did the same. There are lots of height settings which is handy if you`ve let the grass get too long. It`s fairly quiet-ish and is such a luxury having no power cable to drag along and get in the way. All in all I am very pleased with the mower, it has made the job so much easier and considerably quicker, so I can avoid the nosey neighbours more easily. I have only used it 3 times so far and will update this review if anything changes.

 

I was a bit concerned about buying an unknown brand at this price point but after a bit of internet surfing found out that Murray are, in fact, the electric division of Briggs and Stratton, a name synonymous with lawn mowers. Looking at the price of some of the competition its hard too see how any of them present better value than this, as it comes with a charger and 2 batteries and a decent size 44cm blade.

A lot of the reviews suggest the bigger blade size makes it better for bigger gardens. As far as I can tell it just means you can cut your smaller garden a bit quicker. My garden is not massive ( about half a tennis court ) and this is perfect.

With the batteries in it is quite heavy. The assembly instructions are absolutely terrible ( and the manuals somewhat destroy the green credentials as they are about an inch and a half thick, so a lot of tries died in the making of this lawn mower ). The handle is quite difficult to adjust and to collapse down for storage.

Those minor issues aside, i would whole heartedly recommend this excellent lawn mower.

 

Great mower, probably more powerful than my petrol one, collects a lot better than it, I think the battery probably lasts about 40 minutes but I only mow for 30 so never tested it to the max, has a handy better indicator on the handle so you know how much is left anyway. No more pull handle or forgetting to get petrol; starts on a switch and the batteries can be used on other garden products.

 

This is a brilliant mower with more height adjustments than most. It cuts time spent mowing with the wide blade grass collection bigger so less time emptying. I was a bit wary about manoeuvrability but it was so easy. With my old cordless mower after two lawns I would have to recharge, this did three and still had 68% charge. I did find the assembly a bit difficult but for a 70 year old woman what do you expect! Wish I had got one earlier. Absolutely love it.

 

I don’t have a big lawn but I cut my fathers lawn too, this allows me to cut both, twice on a single charge.

I like everything about it, the cut, the grass collection box is big can cut the grass without having to constantly stop and empty it.

Great bit of kit.

 

This review is about the 37cm version.
There were no assembly instructions in the box. I found it easy to assemble but some might not.
The trickiest part was properly asembling the grass catcher.
It is easy to use and the light weight means it is easy to get in to the more difficult parts of the garden.
There is a 3 LED display on the handle that gives a crude indication of the battery state. On the batteries there is a digital display that shows the charge more precisely.
The operation of the button and safety handle could be better. It often takes me more than one go to get it to start.
It is supposed to be capable of doing 300 sq m but I think you would have to be an Olympic sprint athlete to do that before the battery goes flat. I have 160 sq m and the battery goes down to 35%.
The batteries charge quite quickly.

 

This has to be one of the best mowers I’ve owned from mains powered to petrol. This mower just tackles the grass with no issue. on a single charge it gets through both front and rear lawns even when cutting down in steps.

 

Pleased overall and impressed with the machine so far. I am new to rechargeable mowers and had now idea how good they have become. No messing with cables or petrol. It is lighter and easier to handle than I expected. Our grass is quite rough and a large area so I should probably have opted for a larger more powerful model. The charging is quite quick, but I do have to recharge once or twice if I am cutting all our grass. Probably need a second pair of batteries to reduce the time spent waiting for the batteries to cool down and recharge. I expect that would extend their lifespan too

 

I have had this mower for over a month now and it works very well and as a mower I have no complaints. My complaint is that although I received multiple safety instructions in far too many language together with assurances that it and the batteries separately meet European standards the manual nowhere answers the questions that I would like to ask, these are.
When not mowing should I remove the batteries or leave them in place?
Should I top up the batteries after every use of let them run right down and then recharge them?
When I am not using the mower in the winter should I keep topping up the battery charge or just leave it until I need it in the spring?
Less bureaucratic nonsense and more practical help would greatly improve the instruction manuals.
