We did find ourselves holding on to the cord even though there was a cord restraint system that kept it in place, but we were able to mow the lawn easily with our other hand. However, we think this won't be an issue once we get the hang of it.Īlthough this electric model is corded, we appreciated the unlimited runtime and didn’t find the cord to be cumbersome. The grass collection bag was easy to clip on, although we did spill some grass clippings the first time we removed it and noted that the bag was not even full. Although it's budget-friendly, we love that you have three options for your grass clippings-bag, mulch, or side discharge-and you don’t have to purchase any of these features separately (which would add to the cost). However, we did note that the mower didn't go quite low enough to cut some patches of clover. Adjusting the cutting height (seven different heights ranging from 1.5 to 3.75 inches) is simple as well, and really is the only setting you need to worry about. The 20-inch cutting deck is narrower than some other options, but we found that it helped us get through the tight areas of our yard easily. We didn’t report any issues mowing over slightly wet grass either. Plus, the 12-amp motor is powerful enough for tough cutting and mulching, including the tall, spindly weeds in our yard. In fact, while testing this mower in our latest round of testing, we had no issues navigating over divots, clumps, bumps, and other parts of our lawn that were uneven-we found that this mower powered right through them. We’ve tested the Greenworks Electric Corded Lawn Mower several times over the last few years, and it continues to stand out as the best affordable choice for small yards and tight spaces, even those with somewhat challenging terrain. Grass collection bag may spill when removing But other than those small issues, we think this is an excellent electric mower for navigating different types of terrain with ease.Ĭutting Width: 21 inches | Weight: 93.61 pounds | Power Source: Battery | Cutting Options: Bag, mulch, side-discharge
We found it would be much easier with two people since it clips on tightly and it's a bit hard to get around the support bar (it popped off a few times during this process).
The only other minor issue we reported is putting on the grass collection bag. However, once we moved the mower to a more drier area, we were able to start it again easily. We do want to note that while we think this mower did a great job mowing in dry and damp conditions, once when mowing over a particularly wet area, an orange light came on and the mower stopped. And when you are done, the handle is just as easy to fold, so you can store your mower vertically in your garage or shed.
We also found adjusting the cutting height to be a simple task, with six settings to choose from ranging in height from 1.5 to 4 inches. Other user-friendly features we love include the easily-adjustable handle: You have two options for the height and three options for the angle, so you can pick the one that is most comfortable for you. If you have other EGO products at home with the same battery, you could always swap in that battery if you have a larger lawn and want to continue mowing without much of a break. And while it only took 50 minutes to mow our lawn, we are happy to report that the battery did not run out. Although it comes with just one EGO 56V ARC Lithium battery, it has a 60-minute runtime and only takes about the same time to recharge using the included rapid charger. We also appreciated the battery life and fast recharging this mower offers. We found the self-propulsion helpful for going up small hills (the lowest speed was all we needed) and turned it off when navigating around obstacles. But once we got the hang of it, we turned it off and on easily, and adjusted the speeds when needed by using the levers on the handle. While we tested this mower, we almost found it too powerful at first, especially because it was our first time using a self-propelled mower. Self-propelled mowers make mowing-especially over hills and rugged terrain-much easier because the mower moves for you at your pace, while you simply guide it around your yard. Self-propelled feature takes time getting used toĪfter testing other electric mowers across the country, the EGO LM2102SP POWER+ 21-Inch Cordless Self-Propelled Mower is our best overall pick because it is very easy to use, lightweight and compact, and offers additional power when you need it, all at a relatively affordable price.
