According to our lawn mower expert
The Gardena PowerMax 32 is a 1200W electric lawn mower for gardens up to 200m2. With a 32cm cutting width, you cut your grass at your desired height. You simply set it centrally to one of the 10 possible heights between 20 and 60mm. The handle is lightweight and ergonomic, so you don't need much strength to push it. The cut grass is collected for you in the 30L container. The PowerMax 32 is a simple, but effective and pleasantly manageable mower that allows you to maintain your garden well.
Note: this lawn mower has a power plug without a cord. This means you always need an extension cord in order to use the lawn mower.

The Gardena lawn mower is a nice little mower with a light weight. A compact machine with an unexpectedly loud roaring sound. In the beginning this took some getting used to because my old mower was not nearly as noisy. The machine is small but nice but feels very plastic in terms of materials.
Assembly is quite simple. The individual parts are packed in plastic and the push bar is easy to assemble and adjustable in height. This push rod does feel a bit rickety, but all in all it functions well. It took a while to assemble the container. The container is made of flexible plastic material and is slightly larger than the lid. It takes some trial and error, but in the end it's quite simple. The box is light but feels very rickety because of the material. In principle, the container functions properly. The hanging system is easy and you can easily hook the box on and off. A wavy piece of plastic should be installed in the tray. This is a bit of a search because a sliding movement is needed. Make sure that you hang the box straight, if you don't do this, no grass will be sucked up.
Mowing straight lanes is very easy with this machine. As long as the grass is flat, there is no problem. But if you come on somewhat bumpy grass, it becomes more difficult. My lawn has round shapes. It is difficult with this machine to mow the edges properly.
To turn the machine on you have to press a wide piece of plastic. This goes very smoothly and you can choose whether you press the plastic with your left or right hand. This is no problem for a small piece of grass, but this machine is intended for a medium-sized lawn. While mowing I really got cramp in my hands. Personally, I would only use this mower for a small lawn and not for a medium-sized lawn.
It is a pity that the mower cannot mulch, but it was known in advance. However, it is easy to adjust the height and this is pleasant to use.

With only a lawn area of about 125 m2, my petrol mower became a bit too big and cumbersome. Because a battery mower is only financially attractive if you use several products in the same line, my eye fell on the Gardena GARDENA Electric Lawn Mower PowerMax™ 1200/32. The mower works with a power cable that can be attached to the handle with a handy clip, which prevents the plug from being pulled from the cord while mowing.
Assembling the rods and the handle is done smoothly, with a good description of the steps to go through. After mowing, you can fold the push bar in half again so that it takes up even less storage space. In my case that is not necessary because I hang it on the wall.
The mower is executed in the classic gray, blue and orange colors of Gardena, and is therefore very recognizable. It is all designed small, with an eye for detail. Here and there an orange element completes the color scheme. The wheels are 'spoked' which gives a 'sporty appearance.
At first I thought what a lot of plastic, and that feeling has not really left, everything in the housing is plastic. It is a not very hard type of plastic that springs a bit with a bump and does not break right off. It is not very scratch resistant. Except for the push rod and the knives and the copper in the electrics, just about everything is made of plastic. In my opinion, this could have been done differently, with a view to durability. It doesn't really give a premium feel to the whole thing. The blades are sharpened and the mower does its job properly. A lot of grass does end up on the top of the mower, not everything ends up neatly in the box.
Due to the extensive use of plastic, the weight has remained very low. This also ensures that the lawnmower is manoeuvrable and manageable. After mowing, you can hang it on the wall, for example, or lift it on a shelf. That was also one of the reasons for switching to an electric mower, you cannot hang the petrol mower (oil and fuel will then run out).
As said, plug in, set cutting height with the rotary knob and mow. That's all. You can adjust the cutting height to your own liking with the 10 cutting height settings, so there is an option for any desired length. The mowed grass is collected for you in the 30-litre collection container, which is enough for a small lawn. With regular mowing, at an average length, I only have to empty my box once in between. Because you mow with a cord, it is useful to start mowing from the plug, so that you no longer encounter the cord. After mowing once, you will already become skilled in this, but in a lost moment you can mow over your cord.
Beforehand I thought that especially the storage convenience would work very well. That was true. When I think of Gardena, I mainly think of garden hose solutions and other tools for in and around the garden. It is an accessible slightly budget brand that can handle light use. Do you have to mow every day, or are you a gardener or do you have a large garden, then choose a heavier version or a different brand or even a petrol mower.

We have now used the Gardena Powermax 1200/32 a number of times to mow our lawn with a surface of about 25m2. The mower does a fantastic job! Assembling the mower was a breeze with the included instructions. The shortest mowing position has proven to be ideal for us, as the grass is then neatly cut short and tight. The 30-litre collector is ideal, so the lawn does not have to be raked because all the grass clippings are neatly collected. Keep in mind that the collector does not get too full, otherwise you will still have to rake. The mower is quite light, making it easy to maneuver. What was striking is that it is not the most silent lawn mower, the noise is not disturbing but will certainly not be appreciated by the neighbors on an early morning. All in all, we are very satisfied with this lawn mower, the convenience of "just" mowing the lawn and not having to rake is ideal!
