Most whipper snipper reviews are written by blokes comparing volts. These were written by people who just wanted their garden back.

Review on TrustpilotGardeners Crate and specifically Nic a founder of the company,really is the best experience with online purchases I’ve ever had. After receiving my Lawno, medical issues meant I possibly wouldn’t be able to use it. Nic encouraged me to keep the Lawno and see how I go. I had a hip replacement and at 75 , 3 months later I assembled the Lawno and it is fantastic. I’m back mowing my lawns and doing my own edges!My friends are very impressed !
Thanks Nic and Gardeners Crate!My age & body -

Review on TrustpilotLight, easy setup, works a treat and great customer service.
I only have a small nature strip to maintain and had a push mower to do the job, I didn’t want a petrol mower to do such a small area.
The Lawno is perfect, I can whipper snip around the tree and street sign, mow the grass and keep the edges tidy all with one lightweight tool.
It charges quickly and is ready to go when I need to get the job done.
It’s a fantastic product and I’m so pleased I found it when I did.
From the time I found this online to when it was delivered was very quick as well and stress free. It’s easy to set up, charge and get to work and will make my life much easier.
Thank you so much.Edges & trimming -

Review on TrustpilotThey promised a "worry-free" 3 year warranty, and they delivered!
Most of us have had a bad experience buying online, well let me prove to you Gardeners Crate will never let you down. They promise a worry-free 3 year warrant and they absolutely stand by it. After just a couple of months of using my Lawno almost every day, I warn you its addictive, it’s that good, but without warning it suddenly had a problem that I could not figure or fix. Contacted Gardeners Crate support team who came back to me same day. They sincerely did everything to help identify the problem, including a video, and how I might fix it. Obvious this was not a common problem, just a freak, random part failure. Without hesitation, they sent me a brand-new replacement, not a second hand refurbished, no what arrived was a brand-new machine. My son told me to keep the broken one for spare parts, I think that’s a man thing?

Review on TrustpilotI can't fault this company
I can't fault this company. I pre ordered my Lawno in April from their website as the product looked perfect for what I needed. The reviews were good and the seemed reliable. I knew it was going to take 2 months which I was dubious about but it eased when I got regular communication from them with all contact details up front. The videos on how to set it up are concise, leaving no stone unturned. I'm so excited to start using my Lawno. They deliver when they say they will deliver and the product is good quality! Cheers to wonderful manicured lawns!!

Review on TrustpilotPleased I made the decision to buy the Lawno
The ordering and delivery was simple with quick delivery.
My daughter put it together very easily.
My lawn was very long with bad edges. My new Lawnmo was so easy to use and I know, now that they are shorter it will be even easier. Light to use and move across the lawn.
The edges look great and were so easy to cut. Took us a little while to work out the edging side of the process but we did it. I’m so pleased I made the decision to buy this product. I’m 75 and will be doing the lawn myself in the future.My age & body -
View all of the information available and understand what to expect.
Order arrived when expected and included lots of printed and electronic information. The machine is sturdier than expected and easy to assemble. My 10 year old granddaughter put it together by following the very clear instructions. As mentioned by others and as expected, the mower function is only up to doing very small areas of lawn. It is ideal for a small enclosed courtyard area of our garden and the flip down guard protects the shrubs and flowers when mowing around those garden edges. The trimmer and edger handle very stubborn buffalo grass really well. Its size and ease of use makes it really handy for quick tidy up jobs. Keep your larger mower for the heavy duty and large areas. After reading previous reviews and website advice I purchased a spare battery. The machine has met all expectations and we are very satisfied with our purchase.

Review on TrustpilotIT DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS IT WILL DO!
I already posted a review as soon as I used my Lawnmo. It does do everything it said and believe me, it had a big challenge in front of it when I attacked my overgrown garden with it. It was so easy even my partner was able to use it and she used to struggle with the normal whipper snipper we have. I'm currently recovering from an operation and that's why our normally well maintained lawn was so overgrown. I was getting ready to call in a professional serivce to help when we saw the Lawnmo. For the price we outlayed, I saved a who lot more than I would if I'd employed a service. Just purchased a second battery to ensure we can keep mowing/edging when the first battery runs out. Greay product that, for once, does exactly what it says it will do.

Review on TrustpilotI initially thought the Lawno sounded too good to be true, so I did some searching online and found that it was the real deal. So I bought one.
Well, needless to say, I'm impressed. I've done my edges, which I've always had to do by hand, trimmed along the path, gone around all the trees and raised garden beds and it was all so easy. I also did some mowing but had a few issues there. I was holding it at the wrong angle and digging into the lawn a bit. But I'll practice till I get it right. Overall, a great lightweight machine, easy to maneuver. Didn't take too long to arrive and notifications along the way.Edges & trimming -

Review on TrustpilotDreams do come true! from doubting Thomas
I was very happy to be able to 'build'my Lawno by myself. I don't usually do this stuff but being on my own you have to give it a go. I did have a problem but the help I received from the Company was fantastic and also the follow up. A couple of years ago Mirboo Nth had a tornado come through my part of town, it caused heaps of damage and I lost 7 huge gum trees. I have planted out many native shrubs and trees and this is where I am going to use the Lawno until they grow a bit more. Keeping the weeds at bay will be easy now.

Review on TrustpilotAbsolutely love my Lawno!
After previously purchasing cheaper versions of this, that only lasted for a few months, I purchased my Lawno.
I wish I had done it sooner.
So easy to use, a heavyweight tool, that is lightweight to use.
Speedy delivery, easy to put together.
Battery lasts almost an hour.
Easy to clean after use.
I have now had my Lawno for 1 month, and it is fantastic.
If you are thinking about buying one, do it!
I am a 60 year old female.
It is easy to assemble, easy to start, easy to use as trimmer, a mower, or an edger.
A+++Rating from me :)
Thank You

Review on TrustpilotFinally an Australian company that cares, from the beginning, the order, contact was forthcoming with how to use the Lawno before it was even received. That was excellent. Then the follow up as well after receipt. Tips kept coming and I just felt like part of the Gardeners Crate family, plus what an excellent product and an Aussie patent, thank you very much!

Review on TrustpilotExtremely easy to assemble and use.
Extremely easy to assemble the instructions easy to follow and having videos as well made it simple for a 75 year old woman.
Light weight, easy to use with one hand as I have a shoulder injury I needed something that I could use one handed. I have a ride on mower and lawno is just what I needed for those places a ride on doesn't fit.
I would highly recommend this product , the delivery was on time kept informed from time of purchase to delivery. After sales services is great with emails .My age & body -
Easy to put together, and simple to operate
Receiving the emails from Gardeners Crate well before the Lawno arrived meant that I felt familiar with how it’s put together, and the best ways to use it.
I did appreciate that clear written instructions were also included in the package, as that’s what I followed to fit the blade.
I’ve been using battery-powered lawn mowers for years, but now that I’m over 70, I just wanted to future-proof my ability to continue to mow the lawns, and the Lawno, being so particularly light, seemed to fit the bill.
I only use the Lawno for edging so far, because I like that my older lawn mower is heavier and thus means I’m using more strength and muscles to operate it. However, the day will come when it feels too bulky for me, and then I’ll be glad of my Lawno.
I have to say that the Lawno does a brilliant job with the edges, and it requires no effort at all, only guidance! I use only the Lawno for all my edging now.
I could barely believe how easy it was to both set up and operate the Lawno; I was ready to call on a neighbour or a friend to help me install the blade, but didn’t need to!Edges & trimming -
Easy to use
I was looking for a rechargeable mower and delaying the purchase all the machines looked so big. Then came across the ad for Lawn Boss (thought it was too good to bectrue) watched the ad several times checked on trustpilot and ordered it. On arrival it was easy to put together. Did the 1st lawn cut, it looks great. I'm not someone who has ever used a traditional mower so glad I found this. Easy to use, great cut, had a fun (which is not something I would say about mowing). Highly recommended!

Review on TrustpilotCleverly designed and capable
Thoughtfully packaged, easy to assemble, excellent instructions and YouTube guides, excellent communication. For once you feel like you are dealing with genuine and nice people!
Like many tools, it will take me a while to master it. My first attempt was fairly successful - I have some challenging lawns and edges. Having said that, it is 1,000 times better than my old whipper snipper. I have now thrown that out!!!! PS it is powerful too. Recomended.Tough grass -

Review on TrustpilotAmazing wiper sniper and edging machine
Machine is very light and easy to use, excellent for a wiper sniper or edging. No more pain in the arms or shoulders like other machines. Instructions are easy to follow and good manuals with examples. I contacted with customer service in a very fast , honest and reliable way. You can feel honesty behind the people and love for the product. I highly recommend it . Even for elder people where internet and technology is not the best the printed instructions that came with machine are super easy to follow.

Review on TrustpilotLawno works and after sales service is amazing.
I was looking for something to cut our grass which was smaller than a lawn mower and not a whipper snipper which I had to lift whilst it did it’s thing. I read about lawno from Gardeners Crate and bought one. Their instructions to put together came in paper nor email - both of which were very easy to follow. On my first attempt to mow it would only wrap the grass into balls and not cut it. I contacted Gardeners Crate and they got back to me straight away and told me how to fix it. Their instructions worked like magic and “all systems are go! Their after sales service is amazing. I’m very impressed. Thank you all concerned.

Review on TrustpilotGardener’s Crate staff are the best!
Gardener’s Crate staff have been quick and eager to help me. When I needed help they arranged a replacement part to be sent out straight away without any dramas whatsoever. This has been the best purchase I’ve made for gardening in a long time. So easy to use for mowing and trimming. Thank you Gardener’s Crate!

Review on TrustpilotWhat you see is what you get - a great product!
These guys are different, they don't just sell a product and move on, they are with you every step of the way and beyond. They really appreciate your honest feedback and get back to you quickly [usually the same day] when you contact them. If doubtful, remember there is a 30 day, no hassle, money back guarantee. Go for it, you won't regret.

Before you buy
The usual worries, answered by owners
Most whipper snipper reviews talk volts and RPM. These are the six questions people actually ask before they order, answered in Lawno and Lawn Boss reviews on Trustpilot.
-
Is it only for small lawns?
“If you only have small areas of grass to be mown, then you don't need anything else except this.”
Sue Walker, on Trustpilot “It is ideal for a small enclosed courtyard area of our garden”
LJ, on Trustpilot Our honest answer
It’s made for small lawns, nature strips, edges and the tight spots a mower can’t reach. Got a big block? Keep your mower for the open lawn and let the Lawno do everything around it.
-
Will I be forever buying blades?
“just using the supplied tool to undo the head and pop on a new one in literally 30 seconds is a game changer”
Julie Comerford, on Trustpilot “And no more threading trimmer cord, ever again.”
Sue Walker, on Trustpilot Our honest answer
No spools, no string to rethread. The Complete Kit comes with 20 flexible blades plus a long-lasting metal blade, and swapping one takes seconds with the blade spanner.
-
How long does the battery last?
“The battery lasts about 40 minutes which is fabulous.”
Sue Walker, on Trustpilot “Battery lasts almost an hour.”
Dianne, on Trustpilot Our honest answer
Run time is the first thing most cordless whipper snipper reviews check. The 2.5Ah battery is rated for about 45 minutes of continuous running. Thick, long grass uses it faster, so for a big or overgrown yard add a second battery at checkout.
-
Can I handle it with sore hands or a bad shoulder?
“I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hand's I can start it and operate the machine with no trouble”
Ian Keightley, on Trustpilot “Light weight, easy to use with one hand as I have a shoulder injury”
Anne, on Trustpilot Our honest answer
Push-button start, no pull cord, and a handle you can adjust to your height. If it doesn’t suit your hands, the 30-day trial covers you.
-
Will I be waiting ages for it?
“I knew it was going to take 2 months which I was dubious about but it eased when I got regular communication from them”
GABRIELLE, on Trustpilot “the frequent emails reassuring me that I hadn’t been forgotten and the tips and instructions on using the Lawno helped enormously”
Denise Fox, on Trustpilot Our honest answer
We make the Lawno in batches and they sell out, so some orders are pre-orders. The current batch date is shown before you pay, and we email you the whole way.
-
What if something goes wrong?
“they got back to me straight away and told me how to fix it”
Shirley, on Trustpilot “Without hesitation, they sent me a brand-new replacement”
Lorraine, on Trustpilot Our honest answer
Call or email our Aussie team and we’ll sort it with you. Parts are covered by the 3-year replacement warranty.

Gardeners Crate reviews: is this a real company?
Fair question when a tool isn’t in Bunnings. Here’s who you’d be dealing with.
Why not in Bunnings? Selling direct means a better price, a 30-day trial we actually honour, and a team that picks up the phone.

Questions people ask before they order
Are these Lawno reviews real?
Yes. Every review on this page is a public Trustpilot review, copied word for word with the reviewer’s name. Trustpilot doesn’t let us edit or remove reviews, good or bad, so you can check every one there.
Are Lawn Boss reviews the same as Lawno reviews?
Yes. The Lawno used to be called the Lawn Boss, so older Lawn Boss reviews are about the same 3-in-1 tool from the same small Aussie business.
I’m reading an old Lawn Boss 3 in 1 review. What’s changed?
The name, mostly. It’s still one light tool that mows, trims and edges. The Complete Kit now comes with a rectangular metal blade, 20 flexible blades, a blade spanner and a dual dock fast charger.
Cordless whipper snipper reviews often say the battery dies fast. How long does the Lawno’s last?
The 2.5Ah battery is rated for about 45 minutes of continuous running. Reviewers report anywhere from 15 minutes on thick, long grass to almost an hour on regular trims. A second battery doubles it.
Is it powerful enough for my grass?
On regular lawns, edges and overgrowth, reviewers say yes: Samantha wrote “Sections of the grass were above knee hight”. Very thick buffalo or a big block takes longer, and that’s where a second battery, or keeping your mower for the open lawn, helps.
How does the 30-day trial work?
Use the Lawno in your own garden for 30 days. If it’s not right for you, contact our team: we honour it, and return postage is covered.
What does the 3-year warranty cover?
It’s a 3-year replacement warranty. If a part fails in normal use, we fix it or replace it. Lorraine’s Lawno was replaced with a brand-new one.
Can I set it up on my own?
Yes, with the printed guide and our set-up videos. Samantha had hers together and was cutting grass in under 20 minutes, and LJ’s 10-year-old granddaughter put theirs together from the instructions.
Where does it ship from?
From our warehouse in Wetherill Park, NSW, to anywhere in Australia. If your order is part of a pre-order batch, the date is shown before you pay.
Let your own garden be the judge.
