We don't run a test lab and we don't pretend to. Our recommendations are built from published manufacturer specifications, verified owner reviews on Amazon UK and retailer sites, and UK pricing data, cross-checked so the numbers on this page match the numbers you'll find on the box. Where a figure is the maker's claim rather than an independent measurement, we say so.
Rankings are based on cut quality, battery and runtime for the garden size in question, weight, build, and value at UK prices. We update picks when models are discontinued or superseded. We earn affiliate commission on some links, but it never decides the order of a list. More on our method.
