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. Our battery-powered mower shootout does a great job comparing all available lithium-ion models. Traditionally, these battery-powered tools were the only products offering an instant start. Now, however, models like the Toro TimeMaster mower offer an electric start for eliminating that cord pull. Landscapers looking for a solid push mower need to know which products will cut well. We factor in build quality, cut quality, features, ergonomics, and more. For battery-powered lawn mowers, our testing also factors in run-time. With battery-powered mowers, cutting power plays a huge role when encountering tall grass.

GreenWorks G-Max 40 V Twin Force Lawnmower Review

For years I’ve wondered about battery powered cordless lawnmowers.
