At 13kg the mower is reasonably light but it handles well and is easy to manoeuvre around beds and corners.

What is the Mountfield Princess 34 mower like to use?

This handles well and feels lightweight and easy to move and lift. A single lever adjusts the height of cut which is very simple and there are 6 pre-set heights to choose from across a broad range.

You have the choice of collecting your grass clippings in the 35L grass box, which has a viewing window so you can check when its needs emptying, or using the mulching plug and returning them back to the lawn – a grass deflector flap at the back directs them down into the grass.

It also has a rear roller which will give a neat striped finish on the lower cutting heights and there is an anti-scalping plate at the front for uneven lawns. A safety brake engages 3 seconds after you let go of the switch.

How easy is the Mountfield Princess 34 mower to store?

The handle folds down halfway and the grass collecting box can be removed. It’s light enough to lift up onto a shelf.

With so many features, great cutting performance and a 2-year warranty, this is great value for money.

Who is the Mountfield Princess 34 mower most useful for?
