Best Lawn Mowers

The aforementioned bigger details do not end with the model's two impressive batteries (though it is probably the product's biggest selling point). We've seen the Smart Cut technology in the company's mowers before but here it's been revamped and improved a lot. The technology is able to sense how high and dense the grass is and effectively apply the right amount of pressure necessary to cut the grass. It doesn't undercut nor does it overcut.

Other than that, it is the smaller things but they do add up to make a decent difference too. With the model's easy push-button start, you're able to get the proverbial ball rolling without having to pull any cords. Though it is really powerful, the mower is about as silent as they come.

Finally, the wheels here are huge, 7" front and 10" back. With wheels like that, you're able to virtually glide through any terrain with effortless ease.

Long story short, the GreenWorks GLM801601 keeps things nice and green, but do not confuse its environmentally-friendly disposition for ineffectiveness. This is a powerful machine first and foremost. It is far more durable than your average lawn mower. There isn't a job too big for its steel britches.

Motor aside, there's a lot about the model's design that we could talk about. For starters, we could mention the corrosion-resistant deck, a part that makes the whole machine quite a bit more durable to the wear and tear of time.

The rugged front and rear all-terrain wheels also deserve some recognition as they make it much easier for you to maneuver in and around tight spaces.

Sure, it has one or two flaws. The biggest issue that most people have with it is the relatively loud motor that runs counter to the advertised "whisper-quiet operation". But it really isn't that much louder than your average cordless electric lawn mower, so we wouldn't really hold it that much against the model.

Plus, what it lacks in quietness, the mower more than makes up for in ease of use. You won't need any tools to adjust the model nor to tweak its settings. It takes but a single push of a button to get this machine started. The collapsible ergonomic handle maximizes user comfort and allows you to adjust it the way you see fit.

Speaking of adjusting things, the 6-position height adjustment lever makes it really easy to choose the grass cutting height. Finally, the grass indicator window will let you know when to empty the bag if you choose to go with the rear bagging mode.

To put all of it differently, the Sun Joe iON16LM is one of the most environmentally conscious choices. But don't let its friendly nature fool you. What we have here is a real lawn ranger, a powerful machine that will help you keep your backyard looking nice and pristine.

Like we said before, the key feature of this lawn mower is that it is fitted with an electric engine and thus depends neither on fuel nor batteries, giving you non-stop operation time for trimming your lawn. That said, seeing as this lawn mower falls into the budget category, it's best to give it short breaks every 20-30 minutes to let the engine cool down. Doing this way, you'll be able to significantly prolong the service life of the tool.

Now the cutting height of the mower is adjustable: you can change it in a range from 0.5 inches to 3.75 inches. This range is enough to let you mow tall grass as well as short one with ease. Plus, it is equipped with wide 20-inch blades - thanks to this you will be able to cover a larger area in fewer sweeps.

Usability features include light weight of the tool and, of course, its powerful, wide wheels. Similarly to other lawn mowers, the GreenWorks 25022 features 3 cutting modes and 7 cutting height positions. The cutting height is adjusted on all four wheels at the same time by simply turning a lever. The foldable handle makes this lawn mower convenient to store during the off-season, while a convenient pushbutton ensures easy starting of the mower.

The cutting height of this lawn mower can be adjusted to 3 positions. Moreover, you can choose how to adjust it: either at each wheel separately or the entire axis. The height settings vary from 1.18 to 2.52 inches allowing you to mow both short and tall grass with ease. Speaking of the width, it is 14 inches here, which is average but more than enough for reaching grass most everywhere, including between trees and under shrubs. The main benefit to this lawn mower though is that it's powered by an electric engine that will allow you to mow your lawn for a longer time without breaks. However, the motor here is not the best quality possible, so it's best not to give the tool a hard time if you want it to faithfully serve you for years to come.

As much as we like the Tri-cut™ cutting system, the rear wheel drive system is probably the system here. The way it is able to provide better traction and control on hilly terrain is really what makes the mower such an appealing product in the first place.

Another system here that makes the practicality case (albeit a slightly smaller one) is the model's 2-point height-of-cut functionality. It lets you easily adjust the deck height at 2 points, allowing for quick customization of your mowing height.

We cannot overlook the 2-bushel collecting bag. When you have to gather your clippings, a bag like that is able to hold much more than your average bag. It allows you to collect more clippings and empty the bag faster and less frequently.

Of course, as it is usually the case with lawn mowers these days, you can choose between mulching, bagging, or side discharging, so it isn't like you'll necessarily always have to go with the bagging option.

Cutting to the chase, Lawn-Boy 17732 has its flaws but the model is overall too practical, effective, and functional to make these flaws noticeable enough. With this mower, you'll be able to keep any lawn in a top-notch condition without too much effort on your part.
