Wilko currently are advertising a 46cm self propelled rotary lawn mower with a Briggs & Stratton 4 stroke petrol engine for £199.

This looks a rather good price for a self propelled lawnmower with a 46cm (18″) cutting blade. It is the same price as the 46 cm Lidl Florabest branded petrol lawn mower I found yesterday, but that is only a short term, when it’s gone it’s gone, deal. The Wilko b/s500 has a slightly larger 158cc Briggs & Stratton engine, and also has a greater range of cutting height adjustments.It comes with a 55 litre grass collector.

UPDATE: It looks like these Wilko machines have sold out. A couple of alternatives are the Einhell GH-PM 46/1 S and the Oleo-Mac G48-TK .

UPDATE: Another alternative would be the Tesco Direct 50cm self propelled petrol mower.

UPDATE: Homebase are offering a self propelled 46cm Qualcast lawnmower with a Briggs & Stratton engine for £199.99.
