The STIHL RMA 253 is a battery-powered push lawn mower designed for users cutting small to medium lawns at home. Part of the 2 Series battery range and the STIHL AK System, it's a lightweight, quiet mower with innovative features that make it an ideal choice for home gardeners.
Built with a sheet-steel deck and a 51 cm (20") cutting width, it offers single-point cutting-height adjustment from 20–100 mm. Powered by an AK 30 S battery that's interchangeable across the AK System range, it has two battery slots so you can carry a spare and switch over instantly – mowing up to 275 m² on a full charge with the recommended AK 30 S.
The comfort mono-handlebar gives easy access to the 55-litre grass catcher box, which has a fill-level indicator so you know when to empty it. The handlebar is height-adjustable and folds for compact storage, and carries a 10-year domestic warranty.
