Parkside PRMA 40-Li B3 review

Supplied without packs or charger, and it says so in the title. Two 20 V 4.0 Ah batteries are required and neither is in the box.

The bottom line The bare tool of this shelf, and honest about it: the title ends “ohne Akku und Ladegerät” and the first feature line states that two 20 V 4 Ah packs are required and not included. Buy it as a machine for packs you own; buy it as the cheapest mower here and you have bought an empty carton. Seven central height steps and edge cutting on both sides.

What the maker prints on its own page

A 40 V cordless mower with a brushless motor, supplied without batteries and without a charger. The maker states two 20 V 4 Ah packs are required for operation and are not included.

The motor is described as up to 30 per cent longer-running than conventional motors, maintenance-free and quiet. Two cutting modes are offered: an automatic mode for maximum efficiency and cutting performance, and an ECO mode for easy cuts. The cutting height adjusts centrally in seven steps, the deck cuts close to the edge on both sides, and the blade is described as special steel.

The word used in the title

“Ohne Akku und Ladegerät”. It is there, in the title, before the price — which is more than several bare tools on this site manage.

That word is the whole of the purchase decision. For somebody with two packs on this platform, this is the cheapest way to add a mower. For somebody without, the real price is this plus two packs plus a charger, and at that point it is not the cheapest machine on the shelf.

What edge cutting means here

A deck shaped so the blade passes close to the housing on both sides, letting the machine cut nearer a fence or a bed than a conventional deck. It does not cut to a hard edge — nothing does — but it narrows the strip left for the shears, and on a garden with a lot of boundary that is real.

What goes unsaid in the listing

The cutting width. The height range, as opposed to the number of steps. The catcher volume. The weight. A machine described almost entirely by its motor and its modes.

Availability

From 138 € to 199 €, that being the spread across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores on the day of the survey.

Beyond the euro zone, the British Amazon store prices it in its own currency, which the spread above sets aside.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

The declared figures, and the point they stop at

Strengths

  • The carton contents are stated in the title, which on this shelf is rare and correct
  • Seven central height steps, the most in this family
  • Edge cutting on both sides of the deck, which reduces what the shears have to do

Compromises

  • Two packs and a charger to buy before it runs at all
  • No cutting width, no height range, no catcher volume published
  • Its price sits among complete kits and is not comparable with them

What this machine usually gets asked

Why is it so much cheaper than the others?

Because it has no packs and no charger in it. Two 4 Ah packs and a charger are a substantial part of what a cordless mower costs, and a price table that puts a bare tool next to complete kits is ranking cartons rather than machines. This site marks it in the row.

Can I run it on one battery?

No. The maker states two 20 V packs are required for operation — the machine makes its 40 V by putting them in series.

What is ECO mode?

A lower-power setting for light cutting, against an automatic mode that gives full power when the grass demands it. It trades cutting capability for runtime, which is the same trade every cordless machine makes and this one exposes as a switch.

Who this one is for

A shed that already holds two 20 V packs on this platform
