    Mountfield SP470 is a dependable machine which if maintained yearly puts more expensive mowers to shame. Can cope with wet grass, is v frugal with fuel and gives a great finish.

    The Briggs & Stratton engine is the best make you can get, and anyone having problems is obviously mis-treating it or not following the service shedule! While the belt drive isn't the best method of all time, with proper adjustment it's perfectly capable. The wheels do tend to get a little loose a ...

    bought our mountfield sp470 from b&q .started off ok. now 2 summers on it sounds like a bag of spanners....hunting on and off ,cuts out. Rubbish in my opinion....save your pennies and get something with a honda engine.

    The Mountfield SP470 is flimsy...front wheel is broken, handle sheared, not enough power to move of its own accord...self-propelled?...engine is fine...after one and a half seasons

    Don't buy this Mountfield SP470 mower. I wish I had read the other reviews on this site before buying the sp470. It looks like my problems are not unique.
