The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The Brast petrol lawn mower BRB-RM-22224 makes a solid and high-quality impression at first glance. The packaging to protect the lawn mower was effective and the product arrived without scratches or soiling , which indicates careful packaging and handling. A particularly positive aspect is the absence of unnecessary packaging waste, which underlines the environmental friendliness of the product and appeals to customers who value sustainability.
After opening the packaging, the individual parts of the lawn mower are clearly arranged, together with the required tools and even a bottle of engine oil, which saves the customer time and effort in procuring the required accessories. The multilingual instruction manual is complete and well written, making it easy to start up and operate the lawn mower. However, some additional descriptive pictures in the manual could further improve the assembly and operation process, especially for customers who prefer visual instructions or have difficulty understanding text instructions.

The workmanship of the lawn mower is of high quality, which is reflected in the robust construction and the careful selection of materials.

This is what our practical test showed

Weighting: 45%
*The maximum score is 100 points

Our practical test of the Brast petrol lawn mower BRB-RM-22224 has shown that the manufacturer largely lives up to its advertising promises. The lawn mower can be assembled independently and takes about an hour. However, there is room for improvement in the tools supplied, which wear out quickly during assembly and have to be replaced with your own tools.
The operation of the lawn mower is very user-friendly and intuitive, so that even inexperienced users can operate the lawn mower easily. The engine starts reliably and offers excellent performance. The drive masters the challenges of both flat and steep terrain with ease.
In addition, the lawn mower offers a wide range of adjustment options to adapt the ergonomics to the individual needs of the user. The mowing, mulching, side discharge and grass catcher functions, as well as practical extras such as a cup holder and storage box, add to the satisfaction and make the Brast petrol lawn mower a versatile and useful garden tool.
