Einhell GC-PM 56/2 S HW review

A one-piece metal deck, a disengageable rear drive and an 80-litre box with two emptying handles — the largest catcher in this family.

The bottom line Described entirely in construction rather than in figures: a deck pressed from a single piece of metal, a rear drive that can be switched off, an 80-litre box with two emptying handles and a level indicator, and a cleaning scraper in the carton. No width, no displacement, no weight — the most expensive listing here is also among the least numerical.

What the maker prints on its own page

A petrol mower with an OHV engine of the maker’s own, driving the rear wheels through a branded gearbox, with the drive able to be switched off. The cutting deck is described as a high-quality metal deck made from a single piece of metal, flow-optimised, with an integrated lawn comb and a front bumper. The cutting height adjusts centrally in six steps. The grass box holds 80 litres, carries a level indicator and has two emptying handles. A soft grip and integrated carrying handles are fitted, and a cleaning scraper is supplied.

Described by construction, not by number

Everything above is a statement about how the machine is built. There is no cutting width, no displacement, no power figure, no height range and no weight.

That is a legitimate way to describe a product to somebody who already knows the range, and a poor one for a comparison. This page prints what is there and records what is not, which on the most expensive listing in the family is worth saying plainly.

The catcher

80 litres is the largest here by twenty. On a long pass that is the difference between three stops and four, and the two emptying handles are the detail that suggests somebody carried one full.

On wet grass the effective volume of any box is much less than the stated one, because the material packs and the airflow gives up before the bag is full.

The lawn comb

A comb ahead of the blade lifts grass that has been flattened — by a wheel, by rain, by being walked on — so the blade meets it standing. It is one of the few features on this shelf that acts on cut quality rather than on convenience, and two machines here have one.

Availability

From 413 € to 468 €, that being the spread across the German, French and Italian Amazon stores on the day of the survey.

More than 1.6× the cheapest country at the Spanish Amazon store; a gap of that size normally means forwarded stock rather than a seller on the ground, so the spread above leaves it out.

Listed and unsold: the British Amazon catalogue holds the reference with nobody behind it.

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

Taken from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and prices move without notice.

What this machine usually gets asked

How wide is the deck?

The listing does not state it. The model designation contains a number, and this page does not read a model designation as a measurement — that is how a specification becomes a guess.

What does a one-piece deck buy?

Stiffness, and no seams. A deck pressed from a single piece has no joints to flex or corrode, and it holds the airflow the cut depends on. It is a construction claim by the maker rather than a measured characteristic.

Why would you disengage the drive?

To push the machine — around an obstacle, into a shed, or up onto a step. A driven mower with the drive engaged goes at its own speed, and one whose drive cannot be released has to be dragged.

Who this one is for

A large lawn, for a buyer who already knows this maker’s range and does not need the listing to describe it
