Neat, nimble and easy-to-use - could the Stihl RME 235 Electric Lawn Mower be perfect for smaller lawns?

Testing the Stihl RME Lawn mower at home

Neatly constructed from lightweight, high-quality components, I'm of the personal opinion that the Stihl RME 235 is simply one of the best lawnmowers for small lawns. Reaching tight spaces and accommodating diverse users are this lawnmower’s superpowers - just don’t try using it on a medium or larger lawn.

There’s no doubt about it: a bigger mower with a greater cutting width and bigger grass collector would be a better bet for larger lawns. But the reality is that many of us would actually be better off downsizing our mower. Per the ONS, the median private garden size in the UK is just 188 m², while households in central London have just 16 m² to tend.
