SPECTRUM SBS460CLM Self-Propelled Cordless Lawn Mower
Built for power, performance and convenience, the Spectrum SBS460CLM is a robust cordless lawn mower designed to handle medium to larger lawns with ease. Featuring a self-propelled drive system, this mower takes the effort out of cutting, allowing you to cover more ground comfortably and efficiently.
At its core is a high-performance brushless motor combined with a double battery drive system, delivering consistent power with approximately 41 minutes of runtime on two 4-amp batteries (included).
The wide 42cm (18″) cutting deck, constructed from durable metal, ensures excellent coverage and a professional-quality finish with every pass.
The SBS460CLM offers outstanding versatility with its 4-in-1 functionality—choose between collecting, mulching, rear discharge or side discharge depending on your lawn conditions. The large 60L rear grass catcher (half plastic design) reduces the need for frequent emptying, helping you work more efficiently.
With a 7-stage central height adjustment ranging from 25mm to 75mm, you can easily adapt to different grass lengths and seasonal requirements. Large wheels (7″ front / 10″ rear) fitted with ball bearings provide smooth movement and improved traction across a variety of terrains.
Despite its powerful build, the mower remains well-balanced and easy to control, making it a reliable choice for demanding garden maintenance.

Never had a battery mower before, but with the price of petrol thought I would give it a go. The two 4amp batteries were quick to charge and managed to cut my lawn in 45 minutes with no problem. Not used the mulcher yet, but the cut was perfect, eased by the large grass collector. Great product!

Totally amazing service and product!!
I will definitely be returning for more items my battery mower is brilliant I couldn’t be happier with it. The guys at Compass run an exemplary company completely focused on customer service. If you are considering purchasing one of their products DON’T HESITATE! You won’t be disappointed!
Thank you guys I am so happy with my mower!

Ordered a mower from Compass, very good price, quality and delivery.
Easy to put together, basically attach the handle and grass box, and off you go.
Easy to use and control, does the job.
I’m thinking about possibly buying the cordless hedge trimmer from them that goes with this mower in the future
All in all well happy with this company and the mower

As I am getting older with my health slowing me down I was finding it difficult to use my Spectrum petrol mower due to the weight. Having had excellent service and support from Compass previously I had no hesitation in buying this electric mower when it was on sale offer.
It arrived the next day after I had ordered it and was quickly assembled (would have been quicker if I had read the assembly instructions and not put it together how I thought it should be). The 2 batteries were quickly charged in the fast charger and the mower was put to work.
I have used the mower twice since I received it and I am really impressed with the cut that it does but the best thing about it is, from my point of view, I do not have to struggle with the pull chord to fire up the motor, just push the button and pull the lever and off you go. That coupled with the lighter weight makes it a much easier lawn cutting job.
An excellent purchase, knowing that Compass are there should I have a problem makes the grass cutting chore not so bad.

Overall, cannot fault the product, delivery was as advertised, prompt and all correct. Build quality is fantastic, not some cheap bit of plastic, totally as described, easy to put together and once batteries charged, up and running. Cuts better than my old petrol, it’s a solid bit of kit. Great value for money, and now, a couple of weeks in, would totally recommend, especially as it comes with batteries and charger included.

Very good mower with the convenience of two 40volt batteries which are quick to charge. I mostly use the mower on mulch but grass collection is good and roomy.
The only beef I have really is with the folding handle and the bolts aren’t fixed so you have to hold the bolt while turning the knurled handle, very poor design.
Edward Cawthorn –
Very pleased with this, my first battery mower. The build-quality is excellent and it arrived intact, except for the perspex battery cover which was replaced,remarkably, in less than 24hrs. Excellent service from Marco and his colleagues. My first impressions of the machine in action are good and, while still of metal construction (which is reassuring), it is lighter and more manoeuvrable than the machine it replaced. From the wide range of machines now on the market, I’m very pleased that I selected Compass.
Mr A J Butler (verified owner) –
Excellent mower, very pleased with it. I do need to get a second set of batteries though as I only get three quarters of my lawn cut with a single charged pair.
Stuart Harris (verified owner) –
What a great piece of kit this cordless mower is – so much better than my noisy/heavy petrol Hyundai! Charged the batteries and the lawn was cut quickly so much lighter than my other! Service from Compass was brilliant ordered on the Monday afternoon and delivery was Wednesday morning. Everything in the bundle arrived and what a great price, feels very good quality so pleased I made the decision!
