PowerSmart Self Propelled Lawn Mower
FLEXIBLE AND AGILE: 22-inch steel mowing deck creates a large cutting area with high durability, which can help you cut bigger jobs easily. The 11.5-inch rear wheels in this gas push mower make it easy to move. Large rear mounted 14.6 Gal. container with easy release makes it easier to empty. These labour-saving designs can enhance your work efficiency.
The PowerSmart self-propelled gas lawn mower is a compelling option if you're looking for a mower that's easy to use, and lightweight enough to move around the yard easily. The mower's 200cc engine is powerful enough to handle most tasks, and the 5-position cutting height adjustment makes it easy to adjust the mower to your lawn. PowerSmart lawnmowers were our top pick when we reviewed push mowers last year, and they've continued to improve their product since then, making this mower our top choice. The mower comes with a 5-year limited warranty, and the company's excellent customer service also earns high marks. The mower is also relatively affordable, making it a good option for novice gardeners and people looking for something that's easy to move. The mower we tested was equipped with a single gas blade, but PowerSmart offers an optional dual blade as well.

The Midline 40V mower also has a 30-liter grass bag, which is big enough to hold a lot of grass clippings, so you won't have to stop to empty it. The mower is light enough to move easily, but it's powerful enough to cut through long grass. The Midline 40V mower has a 3900-rpm motor, which is comparable to most gas-powered lawn mowers. The mower has a 30-minute run time, which is on par with other cordless lawn mowers. The mower has a 12-inch cutting width, which is wider than most cordless lawn mowers. The Midline 40V mower's battery life is 45 minutes, which is longer than most cordless lawn mowers.

BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 Lawn Mower
AFS automatic feed system ensures continuous work without bumping and having to stop. Ideal property size 750 square feet
The BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 Lawn Mower, String Trimmer and Edger, 12-Inch, Cordless (MTC220) is a good choice for anyone who wants the convenience of a cordless mower, but also wants the versatility and power of a self-propelled model. This model is quiet, easy to start, and cuts grass very well. The cutting height adjustment is handy, and the 12-inch deck is large enough to handle larger lawns. The mower's 3-in-1 design makes it versatile enough to use in a variety of applications. The 12-inch blade provides enough reach to edge smaller lawns, and the mower's pivoting handle makes it easy to maneuver around obstacles. The MTC220 comes with 2 batteries, which is great, but it's unfortunate that the included charger doesn't charge the mower's batteries simultaneously. The batteries last about 30 minutes with each charge. The mower can be charged via a standard outlet, or using the included 18V charger. The mower's three-way switch allows you to switch from mowing to trimming to edging, and the mower's cutting deck adjusts from 1.6 to 2.4 inches. The MTC220 comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Greenworks 40V Push Lawn Mower
LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO USE A lightweight 16 cutting deck allows for easy maneuvering through small to medium yards (up to acre) more efficiently. Easy push button start and lighter weight make it a great choice for your lawn.
The best electric push mower we've tested, the 40v Greenworks lawn mower offers plenty more power than our previous pick, the 36v Black & Decker lawn mower, which means it gets through thick, tall grass much more quickly. With its 45-minute runtime on a fully charged 4.0Ah battery, this mower has enough power to tackle larger lawns and yards. The battery also charges fully in 120 minutes, so it's never far from a full charge. The 40v Greenworks lawn mower is corded, but the cord is 50 feet long, so it's long enough to reach most areas of your yard. The mower is also cordless, so there are no cords, gas or oil to mess with. The mower's cutting height can be adjusted from 1 to 3 3/4 inches, and it features a single lever 5-position height adjustment. The mower is light enough that it can be used by a single user, but it's powerful enough to handle any reasonable-sized yard. The mower's cutting deck is made from durable, rust-resistant steel and aluminum, so it's built to last. The mower also has a 3-year limited warranty.

Planet-friendly alternative to gas-powered lawn mowers which is pollution-free and noise-free; Low maintenance, lightweight and easy to use
Our pick for best push reel lawn mower is the 10-inch American Lawn Mower Company 1304-14. It has all the basic features a good push reel lawn mower should have, including 5-blade cutting and 10 polymer wheels for maneuverability.

The mower is easy to assemble and disassemble, so there's little maintenance involved. As with a lot of push reel mowers, this mower is heavy, so some buyers may consider hiring a professional to get it into their sheds, but we found the manual wheels easy to operate. The 1304-14 is a powerful mower that does an excellent job on even grass, and its 10-inch cutting width makes this mower the best for medium-sized yards.

LawnMaster MEB1216K Electric Mower Lawn 16-Inch 12AMP
Folded & 32lbs LightweightThe wheels are 6.69 and 8.86 in size, only 32lbs, easy to rotate, labor-saving and easy to control
The LawnMaster MEB1216K is a mower with power, but it's no powerhouse. Its 12 amp motor delivered power, but struggled in our tests, struggling to push the grass through. The LawnMaster had the worst cut quality of any of the mowers we tested. The MEB1216K's cutting height adjustment lever is stiff to move, and was difficult to maintain a consistent height. The MEB1216K's grass collection bag is large, but its design means that grass tends to spill out of the bottom of the bag. The LawnMaster's handle can be adjusted to three different lengths, which is nice, but the adjustment lever is stiff to operate. The MEB1216K's cutting width is 16 inches, which is just a bit narrow for some users. The LawnMaster is more expensive than most of the mowers we tested, and its value as an inexpensive mower may be limited.
