Light, cheap and tied to an outlet · review
Not a real mower: a 12-inch string trimmer that clips into a wheeled base. It costs $89 and weighs 9.9 lb, but cuts at one height of 1.6 inches.
This is a 6.5-amp string trimmer with a rotating head for edging and a wheeled deck for mowing. The automatic feed means you do not bump it for more line.
String cuts at 1.6 inches and nothing else. There is no bag, no mulch and no real deck. It will tidy a small patch, but it does not behave like the 15-inch mowers on this shelf.
Unplug the cord before you touch the blade, the chute or the height lever, and use an outdoor-rated extension cord with a GFCI-protected outlet, as the manual directs.

No. It cuts with nylon string on an automatic feed spool, then clips into a mower base.
The listing gives both a minimum and maximum of 1.6 inches, so in mower mode it has one height, whatever the table’s position count says.

A clever trimmer that also mows a patch of grass. For a real lawn, buy a 15-inch mower.
A tiny lawn, or a buyer who needs a trimmer and only sometimes a mower.

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
