- NOTE June 2020 - Lidl have a new version of this the PRMA 40-Li A2 sold for £99 without batteries/charger - it looks almost identical, the only difference is control panel now has a LED to show ECO or Auto mode.

This Parkside Cordless Lawnmower from Lidl looked a bargain for £149 so Harry has tried it out.
Plus points:
1. powerful enough for a normal garden and can handle longer grass without slowing down.
2. Very light and easy to push
3. Comes with two batteries and dual charger - should be enough for normal gardens
Negatives:
1. Grass box is fiddly to clip round wire frame
2. the plastic flap on grass box doesn't sit neatly, so grass collects under it - I suspect it would work better with this flap just cut off
3. Adjusting handle height/angle is fiddly as the side clips don't neatly spring open
Overall for the price this works well, we have a petrol mower and this is much lighter/easier to start and push around, so I think it will be our normal mower, and seems to handle longer grass without slowing/bogging down which was my concern.
Not sure on run time, it did our small back and front gardens easily in about 20 minutes and battery still showing two bars, I suspect it would run 40mins at least.
Its nice that you can use these batteries with the other Lidl/Parkside X20 tools - I bought the cordless drill/driver for £20 which can share the batteries - hope they get the strimmer back in stock as would be nice to have the set. - Věda a technologie
LOL I was surprised as how great that review was. I thought it will be rubbish seeing young lad doing this but it was very informative and somehow more appealing because he was doing all the stuff. Great!
Thanks you for the review, just bought one based on it can't wait to get home and try it out now!
Excellent demonstration. Thank you - I want one!
Thanks for your review chaps. 😃
Dad. "Ok son do you want to be on youtube"
Son "yes please sounds great
Dad. "Mow the grass for me will you."
Lol
To be fair, it was more like "Dad can we make a video for youtube", me "Do you want to mow the grass", Harry: "Yes please, that will be fun" - I'm sure the novelty will wear off pretty quickly!
@@jbpersonal72 the trick is to not let them do it too often. That way they look forward to doing it and domt get bored lol. What a character though.
Good job, kid. Sounds pretty powerful.
Great review little fella .
Well done!
Thank you! I was lost with how to work it and I didn’t have my brother to teach me.
Oh my he's so cute😁
NOTE June 2020 - Lidl have a new version of this the PRMA 40-Li A2 dual battery mower selling for £99 without batteries/charger - it looks almost identical to the original A1 (from June 2019), the only difference is control panel now has a LED to show ECO or Auto mode.
April 2020 Lidl have a 20v/single battery mower for sale which is similar but slightly smaller - so is a different model to one in video.
June 2019 Orig comment: Just a quick review as couldn't find anywhere when I was looking, the lawnmower works well and is powerful enough for longer grass, and light and easy to push. The grass box is fiddly to assemble and has a plastic flap which doesn't sit neatly so I think would work better if cut off. I've put our petrol mower at the back of the shed, as hoping this will be our normal mower, and nice that Harry (and his Mum) can help with grass cutting as its so light and easy to use.
The one Aldi is selling now (May 2020) it seems a 37cm version the one in this video but has one battery 20/40V from the ferrex "activ-energy" shared battery line , with the lawnmower the battery is used as 40V 2.5Ah .
Got one 2 years ago, brilliant mower but batteries don't last too long when mowing. Light to handle as I'm small in stature.
How long does the batery lasts? Can you make a video of mowing the whole garden? I was thinking of buying one and theres no other videos of this product
We have a medium size garden, (back garden is about 40ft square, plus 40ft square front garden and verge along outside wall) and took around 30 minutes to cut, and the battery indicator still shows two bars, so I am pretty sure you'd get an hour of cutting. I made a video ages ago cutting grass with old lawnmower - this is the back garden, the front/side is same again. czcams.com/video/gN19h0q9wg0/video.html
@@jamesb72.yes ,think it is an hour when fully charged.
is there anyway of lowering it further ?
😊👍😀
My batteries are fully charged yet I still cant get it started. The locking key is connected next to the batteries on the mower. I press the button and pull back handle at the same time but just keeps making a beeping noise. Any advice please?
Hi Jake, I have the exact same issue with mine very occasionally - only after a couple of months, I found swapping the batteries over and jiggling the mower and it will then start. I got 6 beeps which apparently is a battery connection error (if you have different number of beeps it might be a different issue). I tried it 100 times (literally) using the two big batteries mower came with, as well as two small batteries i have for drill/hedge cutter, and could only get mine to not start with the big batteries 1 in front 2 behind, so if I put them the other way round it works every time. I did contact lidl through resolver website (they ignored emails initially) who offered to replace mower but cannot get any stock, so have given me a letter for refund in store, but I really like the mower and its not failed since I stuck to correct placement so I'm sticking with it. I see Lidl have a 1 battery version in store this week but its a bit narrower, so I will stick with this one for now. Good luck, hope you get it sorted, otherwise its refund only I'm afraid (and I got rid of the petrol mower as I much preferred this one).
Press the button first ,then pull back the handle.
@@seannolan8615 never thought of that 🙄
@@jamesb72 Hello, Is it necessary to use two batteries at the same time? or does it work on one battery? I have a Parkside wrench at home, will the batteries work?
@@marcelm6649 This 2020 model only works with two 20V batteries, which are sold right next to the mowers and double recharging unit at the Lidl stores this week.
Btw do u have to add to battery for this to work or is one enough
It needs 2 batteries, 2 x 20v makes 40v which the mower needs.
How much did this cost
I bought mine from lidl and on the manual it said no batteries included
Yeah you have to buy the batteries and charger separately, they are all on sale this week if you get back there quick enough
Video is from June 2019 when they sold the mower with batteries/charger for £149, I see June 2020 they are selling an A2 version for £99 with no batteries/charger, so works out roughly the same cost - the dual charger which came with the A1 version was nice though. A2 version is almost identical, only difference i've noticed is the control panel now has LEDs to show ECO/AUTO (I use Auto), where before you just heard the motor speed up/down when you pressed button.
@@jamesb72 yea I bought 2 batteries and chargers now
Edit: also do you know what the difference between eco and auto is?
@@jamesb72 What does eco mode do?
@@soundbeans eco mode seems to stick on about half motor power whereas auto mode revs up when you go through taller grass as needed. I've only ever used auto mode to be honest.
pretty sure he mounted it the wrong way
It's not making a difference. Didn't cut anything.
He really should be wearing ear protection when mowing mowers are a dangerous to your hearing
These are very quiet compared to mowers, a lot quieter than Flymo corded ones. 75decibels is what i found them to be, which is like heavy traffic
