Mac Allister Lawn Mower Cordless: First Unboxing and Real‑World Test

The Mac Allister Solo MLM3637‑Li is a 36 V rotary lawn mower that promises cordless convenience at a price that appeals to budget‑conscious gardeners. In this article we walk through the unboxing, assess the first‑time use, and compare the mower’s performance against other small‑scale cutting tools such as the “Nono le petit robot tondeuse”. All observations are based on a practical test performed at a typical suburban lawn.

What’s Inside the Box?

The packaging is compact and clearly labelled with the model name and voltage. Inside the box you will find:

The unboxing experience is straightforward: the mower slides out of the cardboard tray, and the battery clicks into place without the need for tools. The overall weight feels light enough for one‑handed operation, yet solid enough to convey a sturdy build.

First Test – How Does It Work?

After a full charge (approximately 2 hours), the mower was taken to a 400 m² lawn with mixed grass heights. The following steps were followed:

  1. Insert the battery and press the power button.
  2. Adjust the cutting height using the lever on the side (range 30 mm – 65 mm).
  3. Push the mower across the lawn at a comfortable walking pace.

Within the first few passes the mower cut a clean swath, showing that the 36 V motor delivers sufficient torque for typical grass thickness. The rotary blade rotates silently compared with gas‑powered models, and the handle vibration is minimal.

Battery Life and Power Delivery

The 36 V lithium‑ion pack provides roughly 60 minutes of continuous cutting before the indicator light turns amber. In practice, the mower completed the 400 m² area in under an hour, leaving enough charge for a second run if required. When the battery is fully depleted, the mower shuts off automatically, protecting the motor from damage.

Charging the battery on a standard 230 V outlet is simple: plug the supplied cable into the charger, then into the wall socket. The charger’s LED shifts from red to green to confirm a full charge. The battery retains its capacity after multiple cycles, which aligns with the specifications provided by Mac All
