Rank #3 in Best Petrol Lawn Mowers 2026: 10 Ranked, Ad Claims Checked
Einhell GC-PM 46/5 S Self-Propelled 46cm Petrol Mower
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Einhell GC-PM 46/5 S is a self-propelled petrol mower with a 46cm deck, a 2 kW four-stroke engine and a folding handlebar, listed at £229.95 and rated 4.5 out of 5 from 281 ratings. It takes third place in this guide.
The number that decides its place is not the engine. The Einhell's own bullet points give the grass sack two different capacities — 40L in one bullet, 65 litres in the next — and the spec table files the cutting width as '46 Millimetres'. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing for this mower, not from a test we ran.
