Product Information

Full details

The Gardena Cylinder Mower Plus 400 is an ideal choice for homeowners with lawns up to 250 m² who prioritize a high-precision, traditional English lawn finish. By utilizing a manual, frictionless cylinder cutting system, it offers a whisper-quiet, eco-friendly alternative to powered mowers. While it excels at delivering clean, scissor-like cuts, users should note that it requires consistent manual effort and is not designed for clearing tall, overgrown weeds or thick brush.

FAQs

What is the maximum lawn size for this mower?

The Gardena Plus 400 is recommended for lawns up to 250 m².

Does this mower require blade sharpening?

The mower is designed with high-quality steel blades that stay sharp for a long time. If performance decreases significantly, consult a professional for sharpening.

Can I use this on a sloped lawn?

Yes, the lightweight design and grippy tread on the wheels make it capable of handling gentle slopes.

What is the lowest cutting height available?

The lowest setting is 12mm, perfect for a very short, manicured lawn.

How do I store the grass basket?

The grass basket is designed to be easily detached and folded flat for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

Mower is tearing the grass instead of cutting it.

The blades may have become dull or require adjustment; ensure the grass is not too tall for the selected cutting height.

Difficulty pushing the mower.

Check for debris wedged between the blades or around the wheel axles, and ensure the cutting height is not set too low for the current grass length.

Grass clippings are not entering the basket.

Ensure the basket is properly attached and that you are maintaining a consistent walking speed to provide enough momentum for the clippings to be thrown back.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a professional-grade striped lawn appearance
  • Extremely quiet operation suitable for quiet residential neighborhoods
  • Lightweight and easy to push across small to medium lawns
  • Requires virtually no maintenance compared to motorized engines
  • Compact folding design for efficient storage

Cons

  • Not suitable for long, neglected, or overgrown grass
  • Requires physical exertion to push
  • Limited to smaller lawns under 250 m²
  • Does not handle thick, woody weeds effectively

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly of the Plus 400 is minimal, as the unit comes factory-set for optimal blade clearance. To set the cutting height, simply move the adjustment pin to your desired slot. For care, keep the blades clean of sap and grass clippings after each use to prevent buildup that might impede rotation. While the mower is low maintenance, avoid using it in extremely wet conditions, as damp grass can clump and clog the cylinder. Store the mower in a dry area and collapse the grass basket to keep your storage area tidy.
