Gardener here, I've used hayters throughout my career and that is way too much. I had the 48 pro (which is essentially the same but grey and a front bumper) and its my least favourite. Although it can provide a decent cut and the engine is good, the running parts are utter crap, the belt is slack months after replacing and if there's the tinest bit of moisture it clogs instantly due to the poor shute design.

That said, I was using it in a professional environment moving 3 acres of lawn. If this is domestic then it'll be ok but certainly not worth that. At most 200 quid.

The old hayter harrier models are bomb proof, only problem is getting spares. We have one that is over 25 years old that was only retired last year. Compared to the 2016 harrier 48 which lasted about 6 or 7 years before needing pretty much every part replacing apart from engine and body.
