The Atco Liner 16S is a powerful and premium petrol driven lawn mower with plenty of high spec features to impress even the most seasoned gardener. Fitted with a Stiga ST140 OHV auto choke engine that delivers 139cc of power (2.2kw @ 2900rpm) you are assured of a robust lawn mower that is perfectly capable of tackling intensive mowing work. And being self-propelled you’ll never need to push, saving you effort and strain on your back and shoulders as you work.
 
The Atco brand is synonymous with quality and innovative designs and this top-performing lawn mower certainly ticks all the boxes in that regard. Fitted with a full width rear roller, you are assured of the perfect balance between stability and manoeuvrability. And if you’re looking to create those classic British stripes then it would be hard to find a lawn mower that can do that better, especially within this price range.
 
Starting is simple via the traditional recoil method which is tried and tested by any gardener worth his or her salt, so there’s nothing new to learn and there’s always that sense of achievement to be had when you’ve pulled the cord and it’s started first time, which this Atco Liner 16S is absolutely going to do.
 
The cutter deck is made from steel and therefore promises a long life. At 41cm in width it’s generous enough to ensure you make as few passes up and down your lawn as possible. Those clever chaps at Atco design their lawn mowers to be as versatile as possible so it’s great to know that you get a total of 5 cutting heights that range from 20mm to 70mm, enabling you to achieve a precise cut whatever length you started from.
 
The grass collector is generous at 55 litres and Atco has made a wise decision not to make it any bigger as this lawn mower is aimed at medium sized lawns, and therefore 55 litres of capacity should be more than enough. It has a canvas hard top which stops grass cuttings flying into your face as you mow, and this is especially beneficial in very dry conditions. A bag full indicator will alert to the fact that the bag needs emptying to reduce the likelihood of the bag becoming too full and clogged up.
