There is no doubt that the crisp lines show off beautifully the cascades of flowers and foliage in the beds and borders.<\/p>\n<p>In the past you had to have a heavy petrol cylinder lawnmower if you wanted to get that look. That was the only choice for a large garden. Most people now have more modest gardens, which is where an <a title=\"Atco Windsor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.terngardeningreviews.co.uk\/atco\/atco-windsor\/\">Atco Windsor<\/a> electric cylinder lawnmower can really help.<\/p>\n<p>They allow you to get those classic stripes, but are manoeuvrable, quiet and convenient.<\/p>\n<p>The Atco Windsor comes in two widths of cut, the 12\u201d Windsor 12S and the Windsor 14S (14\u201d unsurprisingly!).So the choice is yours, depending on your lawn size.<\/p>\n<p>The two models are otherwise similar in most respects. Both are powered by the same efficient 340 watt motor, driving the rear roller and the 5-bladed cutting cylinder which gives a fine finish to the lawn.<\/p>\n<p>The mowing speed is set with a control dial, and the drive to the rear roller engaged via a full-width control bar. There is a safety cut-off switch for your protection.<\/p>\n<p>The cutting height is set using a rotary dial on the side of the mower body, in 5 steps from 10 to 35 mm. This makes a fiddly task very easy.<\/p>\n<p>The QX system, patented by <a title=\"Atco Windsor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.terngardeningreviews.co.uk\/atco\/atco-windsor\/\">Atco mowers<\/a> is a great feature, enabling you to turn your mower into a powered lawn raker by exchanging the cutting cylinder for a scarifying cassette.<\/p>\n<p>Another good idea is the compactor on the grassbox, which essentially doubles the capacity of the already large box and cuts down the frequency of emptying trips.<\/p>\n<p>The 14S has an extra feature &#8211; a spring-tine comb which lifts up the grass prior to cutting.<\/p>\n<p>The 12S weighs in at only 24.5 kg (54 lb); the 14S is some 3.5 kg (7 lb) heavier, so getting in and out of awkward corners shouldn&#8217;t be difficult. The handle also folds down for compact storage.<\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"Atco Windsor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.terngardeningreviews.co.uk\/atco\/atco-windsor\/\">Atco Windsor<\/a> is built to give you years of service and is backed up with a 12 month warranty. It\u2019s probably the best lawnmower you could choose for a classic striped finish to a small to medium sized lawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is one feature of a garden that many gardeners still think is desirable &#8211; the stripes on a freshly-mown lawn.
