Why choose the RMA253 cordless mower?

Quiet and powerful mowing

The Stihl RMA 253 runs on the STIHL AP battery system, offering quiet, emission-free mowing without sacrificing cutting power. The direct-drive EC motor keeps performance consistent, while ECO mode helps extend battery life when full power isn’t needed.

Wide cutting width for faster work

With a 51 cm cutting width, the RMA253 cordless lawn mower covers more ground in less time — perfect for lawns up to 300 m² when used with the recommended AP 300 battery.

Large, easy-to-empty grass box

The spacious 55-litre grass catcher box has a built-in fill-level indicator so you know exactly when it’s time to empty. Spend more time mowing and less time stopping to check or clear the box.

Flexible cutting height adjustment

The central cutting height adjustment offers seven settings, ranging from 25 to 75 mm. Change the height easily with the spring-loaded lever to suit different grass conditions and achieve your preferred finish.

Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre

Weighing just 23 kg, the rma 253 cordless mower is easy to push and turn, even in tight spaces. The foldable handlebar makes it simple to store in sheds or garages without taking up much room.

Compatible and flexible battery system

The Stihl RMA253 uses the AP System batteries, which are compatible with other STIHL AP tools, allowing you to swap batteries between machines easily. LED indicators on the battery show charge levels at a glance.

Smart fleet management option

When fitted with the STIHL Smart Connector, the RMA 253 can be integrated into the STIHL connected system. This lets you track usage, monitor maintenance needs, and manage tool data directly from your app or portal.
