First Impressions of the Allett Cambridge 43 Cylinder Mower 

Cheers 👍🏻 It’s a cracking bit of kit! No lawn is too small for this, not even mine 😅

Cheers mate, appreciate that! 👍🏻 I'd say it isn't worth it, but it is 🤣

Cheers 👍🏻 They're the two I'm looking at picking up, but they may be post-wedding purchases now 😅

Great shout! A few people have mentioned sorting a ramp. Going to give it a crack in a few weeks.

Cheers mate 👍🏻

Might have just made my list of DIY jobs!

I've got a few cartridges on my list - may have to wait a few months to justify them yet 😅

Did you buy the scarifier cartridge?

That's what I was thinking. And they seem a bit tight when you put it in the upright position. Seems better without them. And I did think that about the aerator attachment as the blades don't seem to penetrate much. Looking at getting the scarifier and verticutter. Not sure I'd go for any of the others.

Been looking into getting one of those. Would fit well on the wall.

Wish I had! 🤣

I don't, but that's not actually a bad shout.

Going to keep it high for now, but will have a mess with it once the bottom lawns thicken a bit more.

Can't all have acres unfortunately!

It does to seem less convenient having the bigger plastic box on the older models.

Love that! 🤣 And I'm definitely going to have a go at sorting some sort of movable ramp.

Can't go wrong with Bosch. Still use my cordless one every week at the front.

20mm at the moment

I have, but sticking with the Hayter on there. Conscious I may hit a stone from the road!

@@NoviceGardener fair point, how did it go when you tried it? Rye grass stripes really good especially with the allett

I won't go electric until I'm forced to.

Few reasons for me: - petrol mowers are quite loud, and with living close to neighbours, don't want them to be annoyed when I'm mowing at 7pm 🤣 - don't need to faff around with petrol and oil, just need to recharge a battery

My first one was £30

Same here, it’s the weight that’s putting me off, fine for the main lawn at 300m2 but also want to use on the 2 smaller front lawns. This review helps, I was worried about the blade speed varying with the mower speed but doesn’t seem to be an issue, total cost with the 3 cartridges I need is scary though. Too much choice, either will be way better than what I have today 😂. Any feedback @NoviceGardener on why Allett over Cobra?

@@xJEC23 Weight won't be an issue in terms of scuffing up the lawn as there is a differential in our cambridge and its smooth. What you don't want is a ribbed roller churning up your lawn if you have plenty of turns

Give him a chance mate, newly seeded bent fescue is gonna take a few months to thicken up and mature

How’s the neighbours lawn getting along. And can you remember the setting on the drop spreader when you sown the bent fescue seed?

Like Canal said, new lawn. Few small patches, but they'll fill in once the lawn matures and it gets more lateral growth. Neighbours lawn is looking decent. Isn't being as cut as often and is a tad longer, but looking good still.

Was a tad tricky at first as like you said, can't use the wheels. You can just see the edge of the front roller beside the grass box. I use that to stay in line.
