They dont cut low enough. If you have a small lawn just get a push mower but make sure the blade can be lowered s you dont need to mow every few days.

their mow height is fine, kiwis just like mowing dirt. they have a few height adjustments but its a pain to do. biggest problem is they do not like matt type grasses like Kikuyu.

They are really just mowers without wheels. can only use them on flat ground, or gravity takes over. they only mulch because there's no way to put a catcher on. useless as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition.

If you're ok with cords just get an electric normal mower. I have one. It cuts really well and is nice and light to push and lift.

I never use a catcher because I think it is better to leave the nutrients on the lawn.

Borrowed a flymo (electirc corded) till I could get a new mower. Large lawn here, plus sloping, plus kikuya. It was brilliant. Super light and did a great job

I used my Flymo on an undulating beach section 1/4 acre and it was fine with Kikuyu. I loved it becasue of not having to have petrol/oil on hand and it was so light and manoeuvrable .
For a very small section though I would get a weedeater or the latest hand mower. These hand mowers are very good for flat areas.

I used one for years when my now adult children were small and I loved it. Lawn looked same as when I’d previously struggled around with my petrol Victa. It still hangs in garage and up until a couple years ago I used it occasionally when rain had made the “lawn” too wet and muddy to use heavy mower as flymo just sort of floates above the surface.
