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.
