Pros Brushless motor: This mower will automatically adjust the power it expends based on the thickness of the grass. Since the mower is not operating at max power 100% of the time (instead only when it needs to) the engine will last longer, there will be less noise/vibration, and the battery life will be higher. Light: The mower is only 33 pounds, making it one of the lightest mowers we have ever reviewed (excluding these cute robot mowers). A low weight is especially important for a … [Read more...] about Sun Joe iON16LM Electric Mower Review
WORX WG788 Electric Lawn Mower Review (2016 edition)
Pros Intellicut TM: This is WORX’s fancy way of saying they have 2 settings on their mower. One setting is called “Quiet” and operates the mower with less power (ergo less noise). The quiet setting is great if you are trying not to disturb neighbors/sleeping children. If the grass is not very tall “Quiet” will be the perfect setting, because it extends the runtime to 1 hour. The other setting on the machine is “Power,” and, as you may have guessed from the moniker, it increases the power … [Read more...] about WORX WG788 Electric Lawn Mower Review (2016 edition)
Husqvarna 7021P 21-Inch 160cc Push Lawn Mower Review
Pros Affordable Quality: This mower is powered by the impressive Honda engine. These engines are considered the best in the lawn mowing industry. The same engine on a Honda brand mower would cost extra, so by buying a Husqvarna you are getting a deal. This engine is strong enough to power through most types of lawns, but if you have a lot of tough grass consider something slightly more powerful. Has all the necessary features: The three available discharge types are supported. The mower … [Read more...] about Husqvarna 7021P 21-Inch 160cc Push Lawn Mower Review
Craftsman 37430 21 Inch 140cc Push Lawn Mower Review
Pros The Engine: The Briggs and Stratton Silver series is not a standard 140cc engine. Aside from being made in the USA to exacting standards, the B&S can deliver 5 pounds of torque per foot. So if you are worried because this mower is on the lower end of the cc scale-don’t be. Unless you have exceptionally unruly lawn this mower will get the job done without a hitch. Full Feature Set: Mowers at this price point sometimes skimp out on important features (especially Yard machines), … [Read more...] about Craftsman 37430 21 Inch 140cc Push Lawn Mower Review
Yard Machines 140cc 20-Inch Push Mower Review
Pros Maneuverable: At 62lb the mower is the perfect weight for a push mower. Many older people struggle to push lawn mowers, and for those of us who are physically capable it is still no joyride. Thankfully, the light weight is combined with large, rugged wheels all of which make mowing far easier. Cons There are many missing features: The mower does not come with a rear bag or support side discharge. The engine is imported and of lower power. This means the mower may struggle … [Read more...] about Yard Machines 140cc 20-Inch Push Mower Review
