What's a Hover Mower?

Designed by Karl Dahlman in 1964, a hover mower works by creating a cushion of air between the lawnmower and the lawn. This cushion of air raises the lawnmower from the lawn allowing the lawnmowers blades to cut the grass.

What is the advantage of a hover mower?

Because hover mowers 'float' on a cushion of air, this enables them to be moved in all directions including side to side. This makes mowing the lawn quick and easy, especially for those that just want to cut the grass as quickly as possible.

Are hover mowers worth it?

Although hover lawn mowers don't always offer the same amount of power as their rotary counterparts, they still offer a range of other benefits. So if you have a small yard and are looking for something compact, lightweight, and maneuverable, a hover mower is worth considering.
