2026 Stihl RM453 V

The STIHL RM 453 V is a robust, self-propelled gas-powered walk-behind mower engineered for homeowners who want reliable performance and versatile cutting options. Powered by a 166 cc EVC 300 engine, this mower offers smooth, variable-speed propulsion that allows you to match your pace to lawn conditions, with a top self-propel speed around 2.9 mph and an easy-to-use control lever on the handlebar. Its 21-inch (approximately 51 cm) cutting width and integrated multi-blade system deliver a clean, consistent cut, while the 4-in-1 design lets you bag clippings, mulch, side discharge, or rear discharge without extra tools. The mower features a single-point, seven-level height adjustment for quick cutting height changes, typically ranging from about 1–4 inches (20–100 mm). A state-of-the-art mono-comfort handlebar enhances operator control, provides convenient access for emptying the polymer grass bag (with directional venting and a fill-level indicator), and folds for compact storage. Built with lightweight yet durable polymer housing and double ball-bearing mounted wheels, it balances maneuverability with long-lasting performance, and the integrated mulch flap can be engaged or disengaged with a simple switch for more flexible grass-management options. Overall, the RM 453 V is designed to make medium-sized lawn care easier, efficient, and adaptable to different yard conditions.
