Building on the success of
Webb’s much-loved WEH12R Manual Cylinder Lawnmower, the new 30cm (12”) 20V Cordless Cylinder Lawnmower has been designed for small to medium lawns. Powered by Webb’s interchangeable 20V Lithium-ion battery system, it removes the need for trailing cables while offering dependable runtime for routine mowing tasks. The result is a quieter, lower- maintenance alternative to petrol models that is also simple to store and quick to start.
