Testimonials
Martin P. (Warwickshire, UK)
Professional Finish Every Time
I’ve been using the Buckingham 24H for just over a year, and the results are consistently outstanding. The striped finish is second to none, and it handles my large lawn (over 1,000m²) with ease. The Honda engine starts first time, and the build quality is rock solid. It’s definitely an investment, but well worth it for serious lawn care enthusiasts.
Paul S. (Stoke, UK)
Powerful, Precise, and Reliable
I bought the Buckingham 24H after upgrading from a smaller Allett model, and the difference is incredible. The six-blade cylinder delivers a beautifully even cut, and the roller gives that classic striped effect. It’s heavy, but that helps with stability and the finish. Great for large formal lawns.
Andrew T (Gloucestershire, UK)
Takes Lawn Care to the Next Level
After years of using rotary mowers, the Buckingham 24H has completely transformed my lawn. The stripes are sharp and professional-looking, and the control I get over the height of cut is excellent. It feels like a true groundskeeper’s tool. Yes, it’s heavy, but that weight translates to a stable, clean cut. Maintenance is straightforward, and I love the classic look and sound. This machine means business.
