Qualcast Elan 32 Reviews

I went out and bought this small, compact grass cutter with a good size container for the grass. 7 months in and the machine stopped spinning. after opening it up i found that the cylinder cutting wheel shaft was held in position at both ends by cheap plastic moulding.

Dont buy this model. Wish Dyson could invent a decent grass cutter.

As I kept mowing, the crack developed into a rather large hole and a large chunk of it dropped off. One of the side clips had also "pinged" off, getting ...  Read the complete review

Yes, a sheep would infact have a far better cutting power than this feeble excuse for a lawnmower. I work at Homebase to get a bit of extra holiday cash, and I had seen this mower on display for a couple of weeks. When we were looking to buy a new one, we took home a couple of test models, this, and the flymo which I have also reviewed. ...  Read the complete review
