Garland 302E: The Affordable Corded Option
The Garland 302E is a 1400W corded electric sweeper designed for small to medium synthetic lawns. At just 9kg, it's one of the lightest sweepers in its class — easy to manoeuvre and store. The 320mm working width and 25-litre rear collection bag make short work of debris, rubber crumb, and loose infill on artificial turf.
Key Features
- 1400W electric motor for consistent, reliable power
- 320mm working width
- 25-litre rear collection bag
- Multi-level height adjustment
- Heavy-duty nylon brushes
- Ergonomic foldable pistol-type handle
- Australian 10-amp 3-pin plug with 1.5m cable
- Front wheels: 180mm | Rear wheels: 100mm
- Weight: 9kg
Who is the 302E Best For?
The 302E is ideal for residential homeowners with a courtyard or backyard lawn up to 350m² who want a reliable, no-fuss sweeper at an accessible price point. Because it's corded, you'll always have consistent power — no waiting for batteries to charge. Just note you'll need access to a power outlet and should avoid use in wet conditions.
Price: $549.95 AUD (RRP $599.00)
Garland 402W: The Cordless Premium Pick
The Garland 402W is a cordless, battery-powered artificial lawn sweeper running on the 20V Keeper battery system — compatible with the entire Keeper 20V tool range. With a wider 380mm working width, dual batteries included, and a patented 3-in-1 roller design, it's a more capable machine built for those who want freedom of movement and zero emissions.
Key Features
- 20V Keeper battery system (dual batteries included)
- 380mm working width — wider than the 302E
- Patented 3-in-1 roller design
- 2-in-1 sweep and collect function
- Covers up to 350m²
- Adjustable height settings
- Quiet operation
- Zero emissions
- Compatible with full Keeper 20V tool range
- Weight: 18kg
Who is the 402W Best For?
The 402W suits homeowners, schools, and childcare centres who need cordless flexibility — no trailing cables, no power outlet dependency. The dual battery setup means extended runtime, and the wider 380mm head covers ground faster. It's heavier than the 302E at 18kg, but the cordless convenience and premium build quality justify the price for regular or commercial use.
⚠️ Back in stock end of April 2026 — limited availability expected.
Price: $949.95 AUD
