15 reviews for Spectrum DC24-4 Ultra-Compact Ride-On Mower 4 Speed – 5 Year Warranty

  1. Peter –

    This is a rally easy to use ride on lawnmower. We have owned ours for nearly a year now. It is always easy to start the engine and use. It is good for cutting grass and collecting leaves in the winter months.

  2. Sharon –

    Our new ride on mower has performed extremely well. great purchase and easy to use. The company delivered it to us and the guy was super helpful with showing us how to use it

  3. Marj –

    Simple to use and leaves a good finish on the garden. We got it to help my husband to keep cutting the grass because he is having trouble getting around at the moment but strangely we have no problem with the kids offering to cut the grass now. We got ours in the summer last year and have used it to cut the grass and tow a trailer around the garden as like a wheelbarrow.

  4. Mike –

    We were gong to buy a Hayter or similar walking lawnmower for about the same price of this. We are so pleased we decided to get the ride on because it now makes cutting the grass a pleasure. It is great value for money and does a perfect job for us. It works really well as a vacuum as well as a lawnmower. The turn key starter means no difficult pulling of an engine rope is needed so easy to make the engine start. We fill it with the cheaper petrol occasionally which is easy. It is a good lawnmower but also works well in chopping up the apples from the apple tree on the lawn as well as the leaves that fall in the winter.

  5. Pipper –

    Just got one of these. It is really well made and works great. Very easy to use and operate. Leaves a great finish. Super good value – great delivery service
    Can recommend this machine and company

  6. Christine –

    Wonderful product. We got it ready to use. Very easy to use. Its powerful and leaves a great finish. great company to deal with. We were thinking we would have to go the gardener route this year as we are getting older but this machine helps us remain independent and saves us money on gardening fees. Compass were very helpful talking us through which fuel to but and so on

  7. Beryl –

    We were looking to buy a ride on mower last year and could not find anything that had what we wanted at the right price. This machine had it all and since we used it we are not disappointed. Rachel re-assured us through the whole process and made sure we were happy with the purchase process and delivery

  8. matt elliott –

    Bought this mower about 12 months ago from Compass. Its a great quality mower at this price point….Delivered on a sturdy pallet as described. Easy to set up, started first time and gives a clean even cut, can turn very tightly if required and has a massive grass box. It comes with a Lithium-ion (power tool type) starter battery and decent charger. This mower battery is easy to access, can be removed and be charged off the mower. So no more needing to charge old lead batteries in winter like some mowers. Started first time this month after winter storage. This mower with grass box fitted easily fits through a std Garden gate width so I can get from back to front lawns and into the garages for maintenance as required. It has a hose pipe connection on the mower so you can wash out the cutting platform and blades after mowing. – Compass were very helpful during the purchase and delivery.

  9. Shaun Gibson –

    I’ve had one of these a little whole now.
    I’ve done 3 cuts of my large lawn.
    I wanted to really test it before I left a review.
    I have to say I did alot of research before my purchase & this really fitted my needs.
    The order process was really simple & the delivery driver was fantastic & very helpful.
    The controls are easy to use with so many options for depth of cut etc.
    One of the best things is that is so maneuverable & gets into the corners well.
    Over the moon with my purchase.

  10. Robert Grainger –

    Received this yesterday – works straight out of the ‘box’ had a quick mow before rain stopped play, great little machine.

  11. Bernie Steel (verified owner) –

    A great machine at a great price. Arrived within a few days of ordering ready to use. The controls were clearly explained on delivery and are in easy reach. Excellent service all round. I highly recommend this mower and Compass Garden Machinery.

  12. Ron Hiller –

    Purchased a DC24 week after visiting the showroom and receiving excellent advice and guidance on purchasing my first ride on mower. Delivered in a couple of days and handover guidance was just as good and helpful. Easy to start and use and produces a good cut and finish. I have been looking at various mowers for sometime and would highly recommend the DC24 and the service provided by all the staff at Compass. ( and I am hard to please!)

  13. norman masterson (verified owner) –

    as iam not able to keep up with my walk behind sp.p mower saw this ride on advertised suits me perfectly gt.machine good price

  14. Geoff –

    Had my Spectrum ride on for 3 months now and really pleased with it.
    Easy to use and cuts and picks up twigs etc very well.
    Bonus is that it fits nicely inside my Keter Store it out Ultra

  15. Ian Muller –

    Had my Spectrum DC 24/4 for 6 weeks and I am delighted with its performance. It was easy to assemble after delivery, took
    around 15 minutes. Started immediately. I have around 1000 sq Mts of lawn area which took me around 2 hours to cut with my
    walk behind wheel driven mower, now it takes me 35 minutes and is a pleasure to do. I had tried a Mountfield sit on mower and
    returned it to the supplier as it continually failed to start with the starter mechanism locking up, when that happened, I had to
    push the mower back to my garage which is no easy task for any one, let alone an 80 year old. The BIG advantage with the Spectrum
    mower is that it has a Pull Cord start facility in addition to the electric start. I have not had to use the Pull Cord at all but the
    fact that it is there is a great reassurance, This point is overlooked by many sit on suppliers, and potential purchasers,
    The mower is very manoeuvrable and provides an excellent cut.
    After over 50 years of struggling with a walk behind Mower, the grass cutting chore has become a pleasure.
