Good Points: Nice looking, aluminium deck should give some corrosion resistance which can be a problem with steel decks. I bought the electric start one for my wife to be able to start it easily, but it starts easily by hand anyway. Has several different speeds (moving over the ground that is), but haven't found much use for theis feature yet. Fairly quiet as mowers go.
Bad Points: Poor grass pickup with the slightest sign of damp grass. It's a fair weather mower only. A bit clumsy and not the lightest considering it's quite a smallish mower. The grass bag won't fill up to its capacity so frequent trips to the waste heap. Poor ergonomics- the grass bag catches on cables and the starter cord when you remove it. The handle folds down for easier storage but it's crude and then it catches on the engine when you pull it up again. Even better the handle when being pulled up again is trying to turn the engine by pulling it over as the starter cord is being drawn out as the handle moves upright, which makes it a bit difficult to do! I think the two control bars on the handle bar are the wrong way round, and found them difficult to use, but maybe that's just me.
General comments: Poor design and unimpressive performance. I had a push Atco petrol rotary before which is being pressed back into service again. Much easier, even if means I get more exercise pushing it, which the medicos will tell us is a good thing!

Good, well made lawnmower by Hayter. The variable engine, autodrive speed, height adjustment are all very smooth and easy.

Having bought the Hayter Harrier 41 as a replacement for a Mountfield Princess, I was looking forward to the extra 2" of cutting width but it came at a price. Moneywise and weightwise. When the motor suddenly burned out it was with almost relief I purchased a smaller machine.

I have found the Hayter Harrier 41 lawn mower to be reliable, and it gives a quality finish to the lawn. There a cheaper mowers available, but if you want a machine to give years of service, then this machine will do it. I think dealers must vary in what they offer, as I have an extended warranty at no extra cost.

Best avoided, we've had good mowers from Hayter in the past but it seems their best days are behind them. Their new models are not what they were.
