Lawn Care

Because many conventional gas and diesel lawn mowers do not have strong emission controls, they are widely recognized as a major source of smog-forming air pollution. In fact, a 6HP diesel or gas mower running for an hour creates the equivalent emissions of driving your car 160 miles. (source)

Not only do old-fashioned lawn mowers burn fossil fuels, they also create ground-level ozone and haze. And, an estimated 17 million gallons of gas is spilled each year as we refuel the mowers, which can pollute drinking water.

Receive up to 300 toward the purchase of a new electric ride lawn mower. Receive up to 100 toward the purchase of a new electric push lawn mower.

Switching to an electric lawn mower can significantly reduce the number of toxic pollutants directly released into the air. And since Burlington runs on 100% renewably-sourced energy, there is an environmental benefit to mowing with an electric mower.

Burlington Electric Department wants to help you make the switch. We are offering a 100 rebate on the purchase of a new electric lawn mower. See terms and conditions.

Lawnmowers

AL-KO offer a comprehensive range of lawn mowers, whether you are looking for a petrol powered mower suitable for mowing in a large garden or a compact cordless or electric lawnmower for maintaining small garden lawns, you are sure to find the ideal mower to suit your needs. For fully automated lawncare, check out our Robolinho® robotic lawn mower.

With more than 50 years of experience in developing lawn mowers in Germany using high quality components and the latest manufacturing techniques, AL-KO lawn mowers are designed to deliver high performance and a long working life.

Cutting height adjustment

The cutting height can be conveniently adjusted with a single handle. Depending on the model, the adjustment is made for each individual wheel or centrally in up to 7 steps.

The mulch plug (included with some models) can be fitted without tools. The particularly fine grass cuttings are incorporated into the lawn as a natural fertiliser.

The tyres on AL-KO lawnmowers are gentle on the lawn and ensure optimum mowing comfort. The wheel drive of the XL or XXL rear wheels also guarantees the best traction on the lawn.

Full box, fewer breaks

The MaxAirflow-Technology ensures that the lawn cuttings reach the back of the collector box, which means that the box is filled to the top and needs emptying less often.

The aerodynamic plastic grass catcher box with large capacity indicates when the box needs to be emptied thanks to the integrated fill level indicator.

Mounting removal made easy

Goodbye to back pain and trapped fingers. Thanks to the EasyClick suspension with guide rail, removing and fitting the collector box box is child’s play.

Whether you prefer mowing and catching, mulching or side discharge, our innovative mower housings guarantee you the best results in lawn care. Our extensive range of accessories offers the right solution for every requirement.

Grip-optimised switch brackets and EasyDrive cockpit with soft handle (depending on model) make mowing enormously easier. Even more comfortable is lawn mowing with wheel drive or, depending on the model, with speed-regulating Vario Speed.

Thanks to their innovative design and optimised air cooling, Briggs Stratton Exi and InStart engines use significantly less oil than comparable 4-stroke engines. Due to a lower heating, the lubricating properties of the oil are also retained much longer, which means that refilling instead of replacing is sufficient.

The integrated front carrying handle is not only ideal when it comes to lifting the mower over steps or obstacles. It also makes it much easier to transport or stow away the mower.

A simple press of a button shows the current charge state of the AL-KO battery. Thanks to lithium-ion technology, it can be recharged quickly without any memory effect.

The safety key protects against unintentional starting on battery mowers. The engine only starts when the key is inserted and turned. After removal, the mower can be safely stored.

Engineered in Germany, made in Austria

In search of the optimum, with the aim of creating a piece of the future. The majority of our lawnmowers are manufactured in Austria. AL-KO, that means garden tools engineered in Germany. For more than 50 years we have been designing and developing garden tools that combine innovative spirit, highest quality and state-of-the-art technology. AL-KO, that means lawnmowers made in Austria and that since 1966.

Practical and comfortable electric lawn mowers

The grass box collects the cut material and thanks to its practical carrying handle as well as the large opening, allows for simple and complete emptying. So that you do not disturb your neighbours, we have placed great emphasis on extremely quiet, high quality induction motors in our electric lawnmowers.

Electric lawn mower: silent, fast and easy mowing

To achieve the dream of having of a well-kept lawn to simply sit outside and relax in can be possible using an AL-KO electric lawn mower. They are extremely lightweight and make lawn mowing very comfortable with an ergonomically shaped and height-adjustable handlebar. For the perfect cutting of your lawn, you can change the cutting height quickly and easily on our electric mowers.

Petrol lawnmowers. in use for years, tried and tested for years

Petrol lawnmowers are the classics among mowers. They are used to mow large areas of grass, slopes, difficult terrain and gardens with many trees. AL-KO petrol lawnmowers are designed for garden sizes of up to 2,500 m². Thanks to the built-in wheel drive on some models, mowing hardly requires any muscle power.

| Petrol lawnmowers are independent: Petrol mowers ensure maximum independence, especially in larger gardens with fruit trees, electric mowers quickly reach their limits or are restricted in use by a cable.

| High grass is (almost) no problem: Lawnmowers will have problems at some point if the grass is taller. Thanks to powerful engines and aerodynamic housing shapes, this limit is clearly pushed up with AL-KO petrol lawnmowers.

| Rapid mowing of large lawns: Once started, the gardener can get started and create large areas in a very short time. As the mower is wirelessly independent, a high degree of freedom of movement is guaranteed.

| Large collecting boxes: The large, easy-to-fill collecting baskets, often even with a level indicator, ensure long mowing intervals.

Electric lawnmower. light and comfortable, ideal for small to medium-sized lawns

We use the advantages of the electric motor and combine them with proven mechanical components. Everything for your perfect lawn cut. Thanks to their quiet operation, electric lawnmowers are particularly suitable for the gardens of terraced houses with smaller gardens, or built up areas. As an electric cable is required, we recommend electric lawnmowers for small and medium-sized gardens up to 900 square metres with only a few trees and other obstacles. Their light weight, comfortable operation, low-maintenance, emission-free motor and beautiful lawn cut will also impress you.

| Mowing close to edges: Thanks to the special housing geometry, mow easily next to walls and fences.

| Mulching on request: the mulching wedge (included with some models) can be inserted without tools. The particularly fine grass cuttings are incorporated into the lawn as a natural fertiliser.

| Easy to transport: Thanks to the integrated carrying handle and recessed grip on the front of the housing (on some models), the lawn mower is easy to transport. The lawnmower can be stowed away to save space with a folding handlebar. The catcher basket can be removed for this purpose.

Battery-powered lawnmowers: no exhaust, no cable. but full mowing power in small to medium-sized gardens

Our battery-powered lawnmowers are ideal for gardens up to 700 square metres.

Opt for a battery-powered lawnmower if you want a light, handy device that you can use flexibly and easily with a high action radius. The heart of the AL-KO cordless lawnmowers is a high-quality Li-Ion battery. The lithium-ion technology ensures that the battery does not discharge itself and prevents the memory effect, which would reduce the effective capacity of the battery. In the case of the AL-KO battery family, light-emitting diodes provide reliable information about the current charge level. So you can always count on a powerful device.

Battery mowers are real lightweights that are both easy to transport and easy to store. For this purpose, some models have folding bars that fold up for easy storage.

It is very important: Before you start your petrol lawnmower, you should first check whether there is any petrol in the tank. If you have a 4-stroke petrol lawnmower, you must check the oil level (with the dipstick). This can be read off the dipstick.

To start, it is best to place the lawnmower on a level surface, naturally without stones. not yet on the lawn you want to mow. Grass can make starting more difficult.

The rule of thumb in Central Europe is: 4-6 cm lawn height is ideal. Whether you use a battery-powered, electric or petrol lawnmower. you should ideally shorten your lawn by 1/3, but be careful in the dry months, otherwise the grass edges will dry out.

The term sinks is used when too much fuel gets from the carburettor into the ignition chamber and gets wet in the process. The solution is simple: unscrew the spark plug, dry it carefully or, if necessary, use a second spark plug.

To prepare the engine of petrol lawnmowers ideally for the resting phase in winter, the first thing you should do is check the tank capacity. As fuel that has not been used for a long period of time carburettors and thus loses its ignition capability, the tank should be emptied. To remove the fuel down to the last drop, it is best to let the carburettor idle until the engine dies off on its own. Change the engine oil according to the engine manual. On petrol-powered mowers you should also check the spark plugs. If these are very dirty or the electrode gap does not fit, you should take the unit to your dealer.

Discover more about AL-KO lawnmowers in the videos

Decide freely according to your requirements and choose the right lawn mower for you from our large range. whether you are looking for a reasonably priced entry-level model, a convenient premium machine or an efficient all-rounder. They all convince you with sophisticated, innovative technology, well thought-out, comfortable equipment and an engine that meets all requirements. This makes lawn mowing a pleasure on any terrain and in any garden.

The housings are largely made of robust powder-coated steel or durable, hard-wearing aluminium which are processed in such a way to ensure that AL-KO lawn mowers are manoeuvrable and easy to operate. Some models can even mow close to the edge. Time-saving, practical and, above all, optimal for the lawn is the possibility of simultaneous mulching on many AL-KO machines. The included mulching plug shreds the clippings in the housing, which then fall back into the lawn.

Everything to know about electric lawn mowers

Anyone maintaining a property with a yard will invariably need to think about lawn care. If you’ve made the decision to have native grass over synthetic lawn alternatives, mowing the lawn is just as important as any other house-cleaning activity.

While many of us will remember the smell of petrol mixed with grass clipping on a Sunday morning waft through the neighbourhood, times have changed, and gardeners are embracing electric power at Rapid pace.

Unlike petrol mowers, electric lawn mowers are a great sustainable option that are smaller, easier to manoeuvre, and have no need to quickly run to the servo for fuel.

So, whether you have a small lawn or patio, or a boundless field of luscious green under your feet, know what you need to update your gardening gear with the best type of electric lawn mower for you.

What to consider when buying an electric lawn mower

If you’ve made the decision to purchase an electric lawn mower, consider the following features to make sure it is right for you:

• Check the cutting diameter – the wider it is, the more lawn it will catch
• The same goes for wheels – the bigger, the easier to manoeuvre
• Check the battery duration and voltage – 45 minutes and up is a fairly good amount of time
• Does the mower only takes a specific brand of battery? Can you purchase additional ones?
• Consider the comfort of the handle, your strength and the weight of the mower, and the ease of turning on and adjusting settings
• Height adjustment – different heights will result in different lawn treatments. mulching, cutting, or trimming
• For corded electric lawn mowers, ensure the cord is long enough for you, or you may want to purchase a retractable extension cord
• A safety key for battery powered lawn mowers is a good option for those with children

Type of grass

Before buying an electric lawn mower, consider the type of grass you have in your lawn. Top turf? Native grass? Soft leaf buffalo? Is it thick or thin?

The type of grass will affect how often you need to mow, and in turn, the type of electric lawn mower you buy. For instance, top turf is fast growing, which means it will require maintenance more often, whilst some native grass alternatives like Wallaby grass may only require mowing a few times a year.

Size of area to mow

If you have a small or confined outdoor space, like a patio with little lawn maintenance that may not require the power of an electric lawn mower, a whipper snipper or edge trimmer may be better for your situation. While they may not catch large amounts of grass or cut as evenly, these are cheaper, easier to get into small spaces, and easier to manoeuvre.

An extremely large space, such as a big backyard, acreage, or field of grass may field better (pardon the pun) with a ride-on mower or garden tractor that can mow larger-size gardens.

For your average Australian backyard, an electric lawn mower can be of great assistance.

Types of electric lawn mowers

So, what is an electric lawn mower?

These grass cutting machines get their power by either getting plugged into an electric outlet, or with a rechargeable battery.

They can be hand-held, pushed, ride-on, or come as a self-driving mower. Now becoming increasingly affordable, they are also relatively easy to run and maintain.

Electric lawn mowers can be a popular choice for people who want a lawn mower that is eco-friendly, makes less noise, is easier to move around, doesn’t require petrol (so is therefore cheaper in the long run) and can provide precise quality grass cutting. They also come in two versions. corded and battery-powered (cordless).

Corded electric lawn mowers

A corded electric lawn mower uses electricity from an outlet through the cord, and is generally recommended for your average to larger size lawn.

Pros: Being plugged in means you never have to worry about running out of power. They are also pretty lightweight for using around the yard, and overall make for a more economical and eco-friendly choice.

Cons: A cord can be potentially hazardous if someone is to trip or if you accidentally mow over it. Ensure you have provisions in place when using a corded electric product inside and outside the home, such as ensuring the grass is dry, taping down your cord in the home, and ensuring not to run over it with your lawn mower.

Battery-powered electric lawn mowers

Cordless electric lawn mowers are battery powered, and can accommodate most backyards, from small to quite large.

Pros: No cord means less of a hazard, and larger mobility without having to stay within the realms of how far the cord stretches. They are also cost-efficient and are a great ‘green’ alternative to mowing.

Cons: You will need to remember to charge the lawn mower before use, and once it’s out of power, it cannot be used until you recharge. Battery powered electric lawn mowers are also typically heavier due to the battery insert. Cordless electric lawn mowers are pricier, but are often much more convenient.

Self-driving electric robot lawn mowers

These are the latest in lawn-mowing tech. Just as robot vacuum cleaners can sweep and mop your home with the touch of a button, so too can these new lawn moving robots.

Pros: Sit back, relax and enjoy the power of technology to do the hard work for you. These robots can cut your lawn to perfection without you needing to lift a muscle.

Cons: Much like any new technology, these come with a hefty price tag compared to their electric human-pushed counterparts. While these robots are designed to cut your lawn methodically and perfectly, obstacles can obstruct the path and the mower can decide to avoid them altogether.

Many electric lawnmowers are lighter than their petrol-powered ancestors. Image: Getty.

Electric lawn mower maintenance and care

While all electric lawn mowers are slightly different, there are some key factors to note to keep your lawn mower’s longevity:

• Electric lawn mowers are not waterproof, so be sure to store them in shelter before and after use
• Change the blades regularly
• Continue to clear out the undercarriage periodically for grass clippings
• Lubricate the wheels regularly
• Give your electric lawn mower the once-over every now and again: check the bolts and fasteners, blow out the battery compartments, sharpen the blades, and get rid of dust and built-up debris
• If you have a battery powered electric lawn mower, store the batteries inside so they don’t get too cold, which affects the battery shelf life, and store them fully charged

The Best Electric Lawn Mowers For Falling in Love With Your Lawn

There’s no quicker way to take care of the overgrown grass in your yard than a quality lawn mower. But traditional lawn mowers aren’t without their flaws. They’re extremely noisy, have a lot of parts that need constant maintenance, emit strong smells, and require you to regularly handle gasoline which can be messy and a hassle.

Electric lawn mowers, on the other hand, will help you tend to your lawn in a much quieter fashion, without the need for regular fuel filter changes and having to deal with oil and gas. They’re also a lot better for the environment compared to their gas-powered counterparts and they start up right away. So next time you’re shopping for a high-powered gardening tool, consider picking up one of the best electric lawn mowers in the market.

TL;DR: The #1 Electric Lawnmower for Most People

If you’re looking for a lawnmower that can easily handle anything but a fully overgrown jungle, without breaking the bank, then take a look at this Bosch lawnmower!

This guy can cut grass to the desired length from 20 – 70mm leaving your lawn looking pristine. It can even act as a line trimmer thanks to the built-in grass combs.

And you won’t have to empty it too often since it has a large 40L grass collection box – winner!

These kinds of mowers have been quickly dominating the market in recent years and there are now quite a few interesting and innovative models to choose from. To help you figure out which one’s a good fit for you and your yard, we’ve come up with a list of what we think are the best electric lawn mowers that you could possibly buy in Australia.

The Best Electric Lawn Mowers to Buy Today in Australia

Best Electric Lawn Mower for Large Yard: Bosch Advanced Rotak36 Cordless Brushless Lawnmower

Why we like it:

What customers say:

“The only bad thing I can say about this item is that DeWALT should put some kind of shoulder strap on this unit. My wife uses it so I did a small modification and installed a shoulder strap from an old laptop bag. The unit is very powerful and has great battery life (5000mah). Also easy to store since the device folds in two.” – Yvon Crete

Topping our list of best electric lawn mowers is the Bosch AdvancedRotak36 Cordless Brushless Lawnmower – a premium cordless electric variant that sports the brand’s proprietary ProSilence noise reduction system that promises a quieter trimming experience that your neighbours are sure to be thankful for.

It also features its LeafCollect cutting system that stores plant debris as it mows, making for a far neater process and significantly less clean-up after.

Furthermore, you can look forward to a beast of a motor that can power through even thicker yards and it comes with ergonomic handles to make the entire mowing that much more comfortable. This makes ideal for mowing large and overgrown lawns.

Be warned, however, that this model doesn’t come cheap – which isn’t too surprising considering it’s a Borsch – and a few users complained about its less-than-premium plastic build.

But if you can spare the coin and are looking for a top-notch electric lawn mower that’s chock-full of useful features, then the Bosch AdvancedRotak36 Cordless Brushless Lawnmower is one of the best.

• It’s one of the quieter electric lawn mowers around
• You can easily change height settings with the push of a button
• The leaf collection system works really well
• A fair bit more expensive than most of the competition
• The plastic build could have been better designed

Best Electric Mower for Medium sized Lawns: Sun Joe MJ401C-P RO 28-Volt Cordless Push Lawn Mower

Why we like it:

• Adjustable deck for customised cuts
• Large capacity battery for longer runtimes
• Detachable grass catcher for quick and easy disposal

What customers say:

“I’ve been using the mower for almost three months with no major issues. Battery holds the charge and I’m able to mow my lawn three full times before needing to recharge…”–Jay

The Sun Joe MJ401C-P RO 28-Volt Cordless Push Lawn Mower has all the features that you may look for in a cordless electric lawn mower. It is powerful, lightweight, durably built, and ideal for mowing small to medium-sized lawns.

Additionally, it comes from one of the best lawn mower brands, so you can go for it knowing that you are getting a high-quality machine that will help you get the job done without experiencing any problems. The fact that it is cordless means you can make limitless manoeuvres without being restricted by pesky power cords.

Also, the MJ401C-P RO is fitted with a steel blade that holds an edge well. As such, you won’t have to worry about the blade going dull. With a cutting swath of approximately 35cm, this unit will allow you to mow small to medium-sized lawns within the shortest time possible.

To add to its list of features, it comes with a 40-litre grass catcher that will ensure your lawn is left neat after each pass. There is also a discharge chute for user convenience. You will be happy to know that this electric lawn mower features an adjustable deck.

Depending on your needs, you can adjust the cutting height up to three positions for customised cuts. This unit requires a 28V battery, which is included in the package, so you won’t have to buy it separately.

• Offers three cutting height adjustment settings
• Excellent motor
• Easy to manoeuvre

Best for Most People: Bosch Lawn Mower ARM 37

Why we like it:

What customers say:

“I’ve found no issues while using this mower, it cuts overgrown thick grass, the blade is very sharp and strong enough, it is lightweight yet durable, low noise, easy to assemble and store. This is not the only Bosch gardening tool that I own and they all perform very well since many years. Just a tip: the basket needs emptying every 25-35 square meters, depending on how tall the grass is.” – Sherif

For the third spot, we’re going back to Bosch with the Bosch Lawn Mower ARM 37. This model is corded so it’s more limited in mobility compared to the previous entries, but that also means that it’s more cost-effective and won’t require constant charging.

The mower is also adept at clearing out the grass around edges, making it less likely for you to need a whipper snipper to take care of stray blades of grass in areas that are generally hard to reach by most lawn mowers. You can also get an extra kick of power thanks to the Powerdrive motor, giving you an extra 1400W that’ll help you mow down even tougher lawns.

Having a cord might be a deal-breaker for some and the overall build of this model could have been sturdier, but the Bosch Lawn Mower ARM 37 is an excellent choice for people who want to save a buck but still invest in a quality brand.

• Corded lawn mowers are far cheaper than their cordless counterparts
• It has a powerful motor, especially when Powerdrive is engaged
• It’s great at clearing out the edges of pathways and other plants
• Corded lawn mowers are significantly more limited in terms of mobility
• The plastic portions of the machine feel flimsy

The first thing you’ll notice about the Swift 40V Brushless Cordless Lawnmower is its catchy bright appearance. It’s a mix of white and different shades of grey, with some tasteful baby blue highlights that lend some style to the overall appearance.

It has a 30-litre grass collection box which is a fair bit bigger than what other mowers offer and will allow you to mow for longer before having to empty out the container.

It’s also exceedingly lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, so pretty much anyone can mow the lawn without much trouble. There are multiple height settings as well, letting you adjust your grass length between 20 – 60mm.

Detaching and reattaching the grass box can be a bit of a hassle though, and the battery takes more time to charge than we’d like, but the Swift 40V Brushless Cordless Lawnmower remains a fantastic machine for people looking for an easy mow above all else.

• The extra-large grass collection box comes in very handy
• It’s exceedingly easy to manoeuvre, even for novices
• Allows for a variety of different height settings for your lawn
• The charging time is a bit long
• Assembling and attaching the grass collection box can be a hassle

Best Cordless Electric Lawn Mower: BLACKDECKER 36V Lithium-Ion 38cm Lawnmower Kit

Why we like it:

What customers say:

“I like this trimmer, it’s reasonably powerful – it cuts nettles and docks, but not brambles and is great for the edges of paths etc. The battery charges in about one hour, so plenty of opportunities to use several times a day, if you want! No cons so far, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts more than 2 seasons, as its predecessor failed just after the guarantee expired. ” – sylvia hemingway

Next up on our list is the BLACKDECKER 36V Lithium-Ion 38cm Lawnmower Kit which comes with some fantastic features, such as the inclusion of two batteries for twice the normal trimming time and the ability to charge one while using the other.

The batteries are also fast-charging, allowing you to do more mowing on less charging. As a nice bonus, you can use the batteries with other BLACK DECKER products.

Another highlight feature is its wide array of cutting height settings, as it lets you choose between six different settings ranging from 30mm to 80mm. This means that you can finally have that lawn of yours at the exact height you want it.

It has a handy safety system too that requires the use of a key to start, so you won’t have to worry about your kids accidentally turning on the machine when you’re not around.

The BLACKDECKER 36V Lithium-Ion 38cm Lawnmower Kit is a bit heavier than some of the competition and the grass collection container should have been bigger, but those are just minor missteps in an otherwise superb electric mower.

• It comes with two batteries which can also be used with other products of the same brand
• You have a wide range of cutting height settings to choose from
• It’s perfectly suited for larger lawns
• It’s noticeably heavier than some of the other electric lawn mowers in the market
• Despite being suited for large lawns, the grass collection container is smaller than one would like

Best Compact Electric Lawn Mower: Greenworks 24V Cordless 33cm Lawn Mower

Why we like it:

What customers say:

“Very pleased with this, setup was straight forward and the instructions are clear. Its very well made and lightweight. Great for no wires and ideal for anyone, even for the older generation with its lower noise and vibration with a good comfy handle. Easy to fold and store away also which is a bonus! Took roughly 2 hours to charge the battery. The grass collector works well and the grass streams in nicely!” – KingsQueens1

Another stylish entry is the Greenworks 24V Cordless 33cm Lawn Mower – a mostly jet-black model with some eye-catching Apple-green highlights. Despite its position on the list, this is one of the best electric lawn mowers you can buy in Ausssie.

It’s delightfully light and easy to move around, making a good choice for smaller-framed individuals and those who are fairly new to maintaining a lawn.

The handles also fold away, allowing it to become more compact and easier to store away. A good feature to have if you don’t have much real estate to work with in your storage shed or garage.

You have to give grass around edges a few run-throughs before they’re trimmed properly, but it’s not too much of a hassle really.

On the downside, the mower only includes one battery and it’s not enough to give it enough juice to mow a larger sized yard and the included instructions can be quite vague.

Despite that, the Greenworks 24V Cordless 33cm Lawn Mower is an excellent option for those who find aesthetics and ease-of-use important. It’s not heavy on the wallet either.

• The mower’s colour scheme is very attractive
• It’s lightweight and easy to move around
• It boasts fold-away handles for easier storage
• The included instructions are tough to follow
• The battery isn’t powerful enough to handle bigger lawns on a single charge

How We Researched the Best Electric Lawn Mowers

We spent almost a year researching and testing the best electric lawn mowers Australia has to offer. Our review team picked both cordless and corded electric lawn mowers to increase your chances of finding the most ideal option for your needs.

The lawn mowers were tested for cutting performance on a 125 square metre lawn and later on a 90 square metre lawn. One of the lawns (the former) had weeping grass measuring about 9cm, while the latter had Kikuyu grass measuring about 6cm.

We tested the lawn mowers multiple times on flat and ragged sections of the lawns to see how easy they are to manoeuvre. Additionally, we evaluated the cutting speed of each test model using a timer, taking into account the cutting width.

In addition to this, we tested battery performance by noting how long each cordless model took to juice up to full capacity and the time taken for the battery to run dry after a full charge.

We also took into account the length of the power cords for the corded models that we tested. For all the lawn mowers that we tested, we made sure that we used all the available cutting heights to evaluate performance.

We expected clean cuts with every pass that we made, and that is exactly what the lawn mowers delivered. However, there was a significant variation in cutting speed and overall performance when we compared the corded models and their cordless counterparts.

Electric Lawn Mower: Buying Guide

Electric lawn mowers come with a wealth of different parts and features and figuring out which ones are important can be a tough time, especially if you’re new to mowers or gardening in general. You have to consider your lawn size, the thickness of your grass, how smooth your soil is, and whether or not you have a lot of edges to mow around, just to name a few.

To make your decision a bit easier, we came up with a handy buying guide for electric lawn mowers to introduce the features you should be familiar with when deciding which model to purchase.

What Do You Need An Electric Lawn Mower For?

Electric lawn mowers may generally lack the power that their gas-powered predecessors offer, but that hasn’t stopped an increasing number of people from making the switch. After all, they’re a lot quieter, require much less maintenance, and are an absolute breeze to fire up. Plus, you won’t have to deal with that nasty petrol smell throughout the entire mowing process.

Most electric lawn mowers are suited for small to mid-sized yards and are generally good for moderately thick grass on account of the lower power when compared to the gas kind. Mowers, in general, are used for large patches of grass that need regular trimming, but if you have a lot of pathways and several plants that you care for, then you might want to consider whipper snippers since they’re made for more delicate trims that require greater precision.

What to Consider When Buying Electric Lawn Mowers

Here are some of the factors that you need to take into consideration when shopping for an electric lawn mower:

Lawn Size

The first thing you should keep in mind before you invest in an electric lawn mower is the size of your lawn. While this type of mower is made for small to medium-sized yards, there’s really no reason for you to purchase a machine that’s for a bigger lawn than what you have on your property.

If you have a small garden, for example, there’s no need for you to pick up something like the BLACKDECKER 36V Lithium-Ion 38cm Lawnmower Kit with its dual battery system since a single battery should be more than enough for an entire mowing session.

Corded or Cordless

Cordless are certainly the more convenient choice, but they tend to come with a far steeper price tag. So if your lawn isn’t particularly large and you think you can make do with a 10 – 15m cord, then you might want to consider the corded version instead, especially if you’re trying to stick to a tight budget. Also, ensure that you check the battery capacity and charging time when buying a cordless lawn mower.

Corded also means that you won’t have to regularly charge your machine before you mow. But if you have the cash to spare and put convenience above all else, then there really is no substitute for going cordless and sparing yourself the hassle. To get the best from a corded lawn mower, ensure that you pick one with a long cord as this will allow you to cover a wider area.

Adjustable Height Settings

Just like with your haircut, you’ll probably want your grass to be cut at a specific length. If that’s the case, you’ll need to make sure that the machine you’re browsing has adjustable height settings so you can get your grass length exactly the way you want them. A few of the electric lawn mowers we mentioned on this list feature various height settings, so it’s worth giving them a look.

Grass Storage Container

Some electric lawn mowers models feature grass storage containers that capture the severed blades of grass as you’re mowing. This saves you the trouble of cleaning up after your trimming session and makes the whole process a lot easier. These containers come in various sizes, so you should consider the size of your lawn as well, so you know how many times you’ll need to empty the box during each mow.

Mulching System

This feature generally comes with models that feature a storage container. What it does is prevent the machine from funnelling the grass debris into the container and, instead, leaves them to be ground finely at the mower’s blade area to return to the soil and act as fertilizer once they decompose. It’s a great feature for yard maintenance and ensuring your grass and soil remain fertile and healthy.

Self-propulsion

Certain electric lawn mowers take much of the stress of having to push a machine across your yard by incorporating a self-propelling feature that moves the tool forward at a comfortable walking pace. That way, you have to do little more than just keep up with the machine and steer it whenever you have to make a turn. This is a particularly great feature for people with a smaller frame or those who suffer from injuries or illnesses that affect mobility.

There are a few other things to keep in mind, like blade width and motor strength, but if you familiarize yourself with the features we mentioned then you’ll be armed with enough knowledge to make the right choice for your lawn.
