Push Mower Reviews

Push mowers range in both size and capabilities. Our reviews cover traditional gas models from compact to larger sizes. We also look at battery-powered models designed to cut smaller lawns without generating the noise of gas-powered models. All the best models are showcased and frequently updated in our comprehensive best self-propelled lawn mowers buying guide.  All-in-all, the push mower market is experiencing lots of change as technologies rise to meet the job.

With battery-powered mowers, cutting power plays a huge role when encountering tall grass.
