    Good Points: Very lightweight which suits us ladies !!
    Height adjuster very easy to use.


    Bad Points: Engine making unusually loud and incorrect noises.
    Collection Box Handle comes off frequently.
    Collection Box very awquard to put on and off.
    Frequent smell of burning.


    General comments: My mum bought this Hayter Envoy Mower in April 2009, really because of what we thought the very good name behind it and also years in the business. What a mistake. We had previously owned a Mountfield (Princess equivalent now) for over 20 years and never had one problem with it and only one replacement blade. An excellent mower. The Hayer on the other hand, we feel has been a very disappoining choice. The collection box is so very awkward to put on and off (as many other people comment on). We have taken it back to where we bought it from due to it burning and cutting out and the engine making an unusually loud noise which it shouldnt do. Also the handle on the collection box regularly comes off. We have since had it back and again, we are faced with the engine not sounding right (it sounds like its going to blow up), has to cool down then we can re start. We are now awaiting Hayer Head Office comments tomorrow via where we bought it from so we will wait and see. Like other people, we cannot be without a lawnmover in the summer and this really has been a very big disappointment and inconvenience.

    Hayter Envoy gives a pleasant grass cutting experience!
    once I got the hang of how to attach the grass cutting box it wasn't difficult. It does cut out when the grass box is full, if this happens you have to sweep out the chute but it is very easy to do. Just empty the box regularly and use it on a high setting if the grass is long. It operates very smoothly and feels like a quality piece of kit.

    The Envoy is nearly the worst mower I have owned in 50 years of grass cutting. Not worth the (HIGH) price and almost certainly unfit for purpose. Don't buy one whatever you do!

    A good mower for the smaller law. Also have Hayter Petrol 41 for back lawn which is much bigger.

    The Envoy is not what I expected from a Hayter mower. Does not compare with my previous Mountfield Princess

    The Envoy problem was queried with Hayter who suggested I should go back to the supplier to have it checked. Squires garden centre in Twickenham could not suggest an answer and seemed totally disinterested in my problem.

    After using a Flymo, the Hayter Envoy lawn mower is a dream. The advantages of this mower of any hover mower are :-
    - Better grass collection. Collects it whether you are moving forward or backwards. E.g. Flymo is a mower with an attached vacuum to collect grass. Move in the wrong direction and it does not collect the grass. My experience does not correspond AT ALL with some other reviewers here.
    - Goes where you push it. Hover mowers float, and so they always want to drift downhill. Hop ...

    This is the worst mower I've ever owned. I bought a Hayter Envoy expecting quality and good design. I got dreadful design and average quality. Grass collection is a major problem for this mower. I think it's down to poor design as the "chute" to get the grass over the rear roller and into the collection box rises too steeply, leaving the grass to clog up at the bottom. This results in the grass "spewing" out the sides, very annoying as you have to mow the lawn twice to collect it. It also means ...

    I had a Flymo before this Hayter Envoy, never again. After using this quality product, Electrolux should stick to vacuum cleaners. This mower has made cutting the lawn a pleasure. I couldn't hear myself think with the Flymo, but with the Envoy I can hold a conversation with the neighbour while using it.

    Excellent and although a bit pricey, it's worth paying the extra.

    Hayter Envoy -
    Difficult to fit collection bag.
    Crude locking method for folding the handles.
    No means of detaching cable from the mower.
    Blades will not start in long grass (motor starting torque too low).
    Dry long grass blocks the collection bag when 25% full.
    Damp grass collection very poor.
    On the positive side the it is heavy which keeps it going on rough surface and the noise levels are low.
    Poor value for money compared to the mass market alternatives.
