GARDENA 400 Classic cylinder mower

The GARDENA 400 Classic cylinder mower is a quiet, environmentally friendly solution for lawn care without electricity or fuel. Suitable for lawns up to 250 m² (with a practical operating time of around 200 m²), this manual model delivers neat, well-maintained results while maintaining a healthy, green lawn.

Unique features that make the difference

• Whisper-quiet operation thanks to the clever design where the blade cylinder and bottom blade don't touch. The grass is lifted like a razor blade and neatly cut without wrinkling or wear noise.
• Hardened, non-stick coated, high-quality steel reel with ground lower blade for a clean, precise cut and less repetitive work.
• Ample stability and grip thanks to large wheels that increase manoeuvrability and ensure a targeted movement across the lawn.
• 4-step cutting height adjustment with an easy-to-read scale, from 12 to 42 mm, so you can always choose the right height for different grass types and seasons.
• Parts can be easily folded thanks to the folding handle, which saves storage space and simplifies transport.
• Durable design with a steel chassis for long life and reliable performance.

How does it work?

With each push, the blade cylinder and bottom blade move independently, without touching. The grass blade is lifted and cut, similar to a scissor action. This mechanical interaction ensures a precise cut without friction between the components, reducing noise and wear and making mowing enjoyable.

Specific benefits for your lawn

• Precision and cleanliness thanks to the balanced blade mechanism and the sharp bottom blade for a smooth, even result.
• Suitable for small to medium-sized gardens that value silence, the environment and ease of use.
• Low maintenance – no engine or battery maintenance, simple operation and quick storage.
• Ready for use in any season with adjustable cutting height for summer and winter greenery.

Practical tips for the best results

• Make the mowing motion consistent and avoid jumps in speed for an even cutting pattern.
• Adjust the cutting height depending on the grass and its growth stage; slightly higher in spring, slightly lower in summer for a full, healthy appearance.
• Around paths and borders, a single, slow pass works better than several short movements.
• After use, check the blades for wear and tear and clean the chassis to prevent rust formation.
