The Greenworks Twin Force Cordless Lawn Mower does justice to its name. What exactly do we mean by it? For one, it has two batteries and one of the batteries is a backup to provide an uninterrupted longer runtime.
On top of that, the model is user friendly and adjusts to the blades of grass to provide an optimal performance.

Why Did We Like it?
Straight off the bat, the ease of use of the Greenworks Twin Force Cordless Lawn Mower grabbed our attention. It saves time, is adjustable and unlike complicated machineries, this product is simple yet effective.
The Greenworks 25302 Cordless Lawn Mower is fitted with a G-max 40V Li-Ion system, which powers up its various components. Added to this is a backup 2 Ah battery, which ensures that there is no need to worry in case the power runs dry.
Furthermore, the 20-inch cutting deck and the fact that it is light-weight, provide greater maneuverability, making it effective even for medium-sized lawns. Another feature is the 5 position, single lever, height adjuster which enables the user to trim the lawn according to their needs.
What Could’ve Been Better?
For everything that is good about the product, there are a few downsides as well. The Greenworks 25302 Cordless Lawn Mower is priced higher as compared to other lawnmowers.
The deck is also made of plastic, which is kind of contradictory considering that the product is supposed to be eco-friendly.
- 40V Li-Ion battery system
- Fits over 25 tools
- User friendly
- Smart-cut technology
- 20-inch cutting deck
- Higher price as compared to other products
- Deck made of plastic
The Snapper SXD21SSWM82 snaps away at the problems gnawing at your lawn or yard. Apart from its ability to cut large amounts of grass, it has all the tools that make it a force to reckon with in the yard.
The Snapper SXD21SSWM82 thrives in open spaces and one can have a field day with this product in their hands.

Why Did We Like it?
The Snapper SXD21SSWM82 just needs to be pointed in the right direction and it will finish off the grass in next to no time. Thanks to the two 2Ah batteries powering this product, it has a much higher runtime than the other lawnmowers on this list.
During its 70 minutes of runtime, the Snapper SXD21SSWM82 can go up and down slopes, can cover wide open spaces and navigate broad corners with ease. Given that it is battery powered, the amount of grass it can devour is staggering which is sure to make this product a favorite for many..
Snapper SXD21SSWM82 is also much cheaper than its battery-powered rivals which is always an attractive feature for potential customers. Additionally, the product is also robust in its build, giving it much needed longevity.
What Could’ve Been Better
The rear-drive system is a problem. To avoid the difficulties, users will need to let the mower coast for several feet otherwise the rear wheels will lock up when they try to stop and pull backward on the handle.
Also, given its prowess in open spaces, maneuverability takes a hit around flower beds and in tight spots. It is safe to say that finesse is not the Snapper SXD21SSWM82’s thing.
- Two 2Ah batteries
- Thrives in open spaces
- Robust
- 70 minutes runtime
- All surface functions
- Rear-wheel system may lock up
- Low maneuverability in tight spots
If you have a small or medium-sized lawn, then the Sun Joe MJ401C Push Mower is the one for you.
It not only weighs much less than the earlier two models but is also cheaper, easier to use and has a battery indicator to keep the user informed.

Why Did We Like it?
It is said that good things come in small packages and this is exactly where the Sun Joe MJ401C Push Mower delivers. The small size of this product ensures that any noise it does emit while operating is at a bare minimum. This means, not only are you happy but your neighbors are happy as well. Because let’s face it, you do not need to let everyone know that you are mowing your lawn.
It also prioritizes safety. One just has to remove the safety key to prevent it from accidentally starting up. Furthermore, the LED push-button battery level indicator is a fine addition and enhances its look..
Since this product is small, it has to stand out in other areas. It has a 3-position manual height adjustment system to tailor to the cutting needs of buyers.
What Could’ve Been Better?
The fact that it is small, means that the Sun Joe MJ401C Push Mower also misses out on certain things.
The height adjuster is manual and only caters to a certain height. This is an area where it falls behind as compared to the earlier two models which are automatic. Also, the 28V battery in this model has less power meaning that this lawnmower can cater only to a quarter of an acre at a time.
- Cheaply priced
- Lightweight
- Safety key
- LED battery display
- Height needs be manually adjusted
- Cuts quarter of an acre at one go
Shakespeare had said, “What’s in a name?” Well as it turns out, a lot. The EGO, yup that’s what we will call it, will make you feel good.
Not only will your ego be satisfied but your lawn will be just the way you want it. The EGO Power+ Cordless Lawn Mower punches above its weight and is in fact quite heavy, in order to match up to the best lawn mowers going around.
- Compatible with all EGO power+ arc lithium batteries
- 20 in. cut capacity
- Weather-resistant construction
- 3-in-1: mulching/bagging/side discharge
Why Did We Like it?
There are a number of reasons the EGO Power+ Cordless Lawn Mower scores big. The inclusion of LED lights is a masterstroke because what is the point in having a lawnmower if you can’t use it when you want? Added to this, it is also a bonus that this product has a weather-resistant construction.
The deck of the EGO Power+ Cordless Lawn Mower matches that of the Greenworks 25302 Cordless Lawn Mower, with a similar 20-inch cutting capacity. A major area of excellence is that one can simply fold it up, and so it hardly takes up space.
A 3-in-1, bagging, mulching, and side discharge system makes it an attractive prospect for potential buyers. Along with this, a rapid charger has been included in the kits so that when the normal runtime of 90 minutes is up, you do not have to wait too long for the product to be powered up.
What Could’ve Been Better?
It is heavy and that too by quite a long way, as compared to the other products on this list. So, it is fair to say that maneuverability takes a hit.
The price is also a little bit on the higher side as compared to other products on the market.
- 20-inch cutting deck
- Weather-resistant build
- LED headlights
- 3-in-1 mulching, bagging, discharge
- Heavy
- Not easy to use
In today’s world, everyone wants to be an expert or a pro and this Greenworks product is just that. Doing justice to its name, Greenworks PRO Cordless Lawn Mower scores better in certain areas than other lawnmowers on this list.
The product provides a wide range of commercial-grade tools for prospective buyers and also for those who need more power.
- NEVER STOP CUTTING. Up to 60 minutes of run time with fully...
- 4.0 Ampere Hour battery and charger included. Cutting height...
- Greenworks brushless motor provides your tool with longer...
- Smart Cut Load sensing technology. Versatile 3-in-1...
Why Did We Like it?
The most important thing about the Greenworks PRO Cordless Lawn Mower is that it has been equipped with brushless motors. Now, why this is significant is because the motors then provide the tools with longer running time, more torque and also more power.
Furthermore, like the EGO Power+ Cordless Lawn Mower, this product too has a 3-in-1 discharge feature with mulching, rear and side discharge. All this will require a lot of power, so it has been equipped with a 4.0Ah battery and fast charging technology.
This is one of the highest-rated products on the market with most customers lending their voice in support. A major reason for this is that the Greenworks PRO Cordless Lawn Mower is built to last. The large 10-inch rear wheels, steel deck and Smart Cut load sensing technology makes it durable and last longer.
What Could’ve Been Better?
Given that it uses a lot of power, it should come as no surprise that the battery lasts for only one hour. For people with bigger lawns, this is a setback.
Another factor is that this product weighs much more than the other products mentioned above. Therefore, it provides less maneuverability, which could have been looked into.
- Fast charging
- Durable
- 10-inch rear wheels
- Steel deck
- Equipped with smart Cut load technology
- Lower runtime
- Heavy build
The name is short and crisp, and the Worx WG51 lets its work do all the talking. With a number of things to like about this product, from its double batteries to its lightweight design, the Worx WG51 will certainly be high up on a buyer’s wish list.
- The 19" Mower includes 2 removable 20V 4.0Ah batteries that...
- Patented intellicut provides additional torque on demand and...
- Premium 3-in-1 design that mulches, bags and...
- Share Battery across multiple WORX tools within the 20V...
Why Did We Like It?
For starters, the Worx WG51 is well suited to medium-sized lawns or yards along with flat and smooth sub-urban environments. Users will find this product easy to use and maneuver even if one has to push it uphill or downhill.
To ensure this, the Worx WG51 weighs just a tad over 50.2lbs even with a full bag and its dual 4Ah batteries. The entire product revolves around its light-weight, which is further seen in its adjustable deck. Moreover, the single lever height adjustment will enable you to easily adjust the deck according to your liking.
The ease of use with Worx WG51 is significantly higher. It can be seen in the way the product easily alternates between its three functions of mulching, bagging and discharge. Furthermore, the durability of the product has also been taken care of thanks to two rigid bar steel axles at the front and rear.
What Could’ve Been Better?
Of the few downsides of the Worx WG51 is its plastic nose. This may not have any damaging impacts on the overall product but the nose may have the propensity to break off during mowing.
Also, the torsion box is a web-like network of plastic fins and the use of plastic may deter buyers from looking at it as an environment-friendly product.
- Light-weight
- Two 4Ah batteries
- Maneuverability is good
- Two rigid bar steel axles
- Durable
- Plastic nose and torsion box
- Not favorable for uneven lawns
We are always attracted to muscular things and the Toro Flex Force 20363 certainly flexes its muscles. The device epitomizes everything powerful and will certainly grab the buyers’ attention with its all-surface performance.
The equipment added to this muscular product ensures that it powers through the lawn and more than makes up for its other shortcomings.
Why Did We Like It?
The first thing that grabs the attention is that the Toro Flex Force 20363 is well built. Not just that, it is well designed as well, being a 22-inch, self-propelled, rear-drive mower.
This ensures that the product delivers 30-minutes of mulching time, along with hill climbing and tall grass cutting. To provide all this power, it has been fitted with a 6Ah battery and a brushless motor. The brushless motor feature, just as in the Greenworks PRO Cordless Lawn Mower, ensures higher durability to accompany all that power.
The steel deck, rear axle and the three-function capability of mulching, discharge and bagging add to the Toro Flex Force 20363’s durability – a feature it shares with the Worx WG751. Another welcome feature for users is the Toro’s Personal Pace system which ensures that the farther one pushes the handlebar the faster the product mows.
What Could’ve Been Better?
By now, we have all heard the famous spiderman quote – with great power comes great responsibility. If you want, responsibility from the Toro Flex Force 20363 then you better buy a backup battery because the single battery may not last long.
Also, the device has been modeled much like the gas-powered version but does not match up to the tall grass cutting ability of its gas-engine cousin.
- Well-built and well designed
- 22-inch, self-propelled, rear-drive mower
- Uses Toro’s Personal Pace system
- All surface functions
- Durable
- One 6Ah battery may not be enough
- Performance issues while cutting tall grass
The Worx WG794 Landroid Robotic Lawn Mower is all ready to go as soon as you unwrap the box and it has some distinct advantages over the Greenworks model we talked about earlier.
Its ability to efficiently manipulate narrow spaces ensures that your lawn is picture-perfect in all the corners.
Why Did We Like it?
Again, like the Greenworks model, the Worx WG794 Landroid Robotic Lawn Mower is easy to use. It declines to an angle of 20 degrees and has a no-load speed of 2800/minutes.
The grass is cut with accuracy, which is due to its high maneuverability. And the reason for this is the AIA technology.
The Worx WG794 Landroid Robotic Lawn Mower has a knack for overcoming obstacles, thanks to a shock sensor system. The fact that it is priced much lower than the Greenworks model mentioned above, makes for an affordable purchase.
Keeping in mind that the product must be as user-friendly as possible, it has been pre-programmed to provide the users with an easy setup. Thus, it saves time, which is of utmost importance and the fact that it shuts down whether for charging or due to wet weather conditions, makes it self-sustaining.
What Could’ve Been Better?
What doesn’t work however is that the weather can have an impact on this model. If it is raining, then it will automatically return to base.
Similarly, there is no battery back-up. This is where the Greenworks has one-up on this model. So, if the battery runs out you have no other option but to wait for it to charge up.
- Easy to use
- Gets to almost all places
- Effective inclination and declination
- Equipped with AIA system
- No-load speed of 2800/minutes
- Wet conditions prove detrimental
- No battery back-up
The Stihl RMA 510 V may be hard to pronounce but you need not have any qualms about its performance. This product not only delivers as far as battery-powered lawnmowers go, but it does so in some style.
As a result, Stihl RMA 510 V matches up in a number of ways to its much-fancied counterparts.
Why Did We Like It?
At the outset, we would say that the Stihl RMA 510 V is for all those people who like their lawn mowers to be robust. With an all-steel deck, this robust design provides the base for the motor which is located entirely above it. This ensures that the motor is protected from impact, moisture and dirt.
A somewhat unique feature of this model is that it is taller than other lawnmowers with the deck situated at medium-height. This allows the Stihl RMA 510 V, which is enabled with side discharge mechanism, to cut taller-than-average height grass with reasonable ease.
Another significant feature of the Stihl RMA 510 V is its 20-inch blade, which is powered by two 6Ah batteries, unlike the Toro Flex Force 20363 which only had one. This takes care of any performance-related issues and its runtime.
What Could’ve Been Better?
The Stihl RMA 510 V is much higher priced as compared to other lawnmowers. This may be a deterrent for some buyers. Also, the product does leave behind a trail of mulch which may be difficult to clean up later.
- Double 6Ah battery
- Robust design
- 20-inch blade
- An all-steel deck
- Motor is well protected
- Costly
- Leaves behind mulch trail
Power seems to be the buzzword when it comes to lawn mowers and the DR Power CE77021XENO is no different. Such is its power, that buyers looking for something close to a gas-engine machine will be attracted to this product.
But power is not the only thing the DR Power CE77021XENO is capable of as it has some interesting features.
Why Did We Like It?
The standout feature of the DR Power CE77021XENO is the single lever deck height adjustment system which was also seen in the Greenworks 25302 Cordless Lawn Mower and the Worx WG51. Along with this, buyers will get the added benefit of having a foldable telescoping handle design, which can also be seen in many of the EGO products.
Apart from these, this top-notch mower can function easily in a variety of mowing conditions dealing with grass which are tall and of normal height. To aid in this task, this product has high maneuverability along slopes, uphill and downhill.
Furthermore, it has a sturdy design to accompany the steel deck and the 27-1/2-inch wheelbase, which is longer than most of the other lawnmowers.
What Could’ve Been Better?
For all that power that it needs, the DR Power CE77021XENO has only one battery, and that too is only 1.5Ah. Therefore, buyers are likely to face performance issues that could well have been avoided.
Like gas-engine mowers, it has been given a bag which is accessed through the handle. This hampers ease of use for the buyers who could have been provided with something different, given that it is a battery-powered lawnmower.
- Steel deck
- 27-1/2-inch wheelbase
- Maneuvers slopes, uphill, and downhill
- Single lever deck height adjustment
- Foldable telescoping handle design
- One 1.5Ah battery
- Bag access through handle
Professionalism is the need of the hour. With so many things to do, one hardly has time to worry about lawn mowing. And this is where the Oregon 120V Professional Series comes in handy. Not only grass but leaves too stand no chance in front of its blades.
If looks could kill, or in this case sell, the Oregon 120V Professional Series lawn mowers would have no problem in finding a home.
Why Did We Like It?
At a glance, the Oregon 120V Professional Series has a lot going for it. Even if the ground is littered with damp leaves, it has the power, thanks to its 9Ah battery, to move at 4mph and dispose of them. In fact, this product has so much power that it can replace a 179-CC gas-powered lawnmower.
The disposed leaves and grass are bagged up much like a vacuum cleaner thereby ensuring that you do not have to worry about cleaning up further. Additionally, the electric motor on this product is one of the most powerful going around and provides it with a capacity to cut 30,000-40,000 square feet on any given day.
Furthermore, to ensure the Oregon 120V Professional Series has a long life span, the product has been equipped with 14-gauge steel on its deck. Further adding to its durability, the massive handle and front axle both have been built with a steel tube.
What Could’ve Been Better?
The Oregon 120V Professional Series is quite pricey, considering that it is giving the buyers so much. Also, it has only one 9Ah battery which although powerful does not guarantee a long runtime.
Along with the price, the weight of the Oregon 120V Professional Series is also significantly higher, as compared to the other products on the market. This plays a part in reducing the maneuverability of this product.
- Powerful electric motor
- Weather-resistant
- Vacuum cleaner like bag
- Similar to gas engine lawn mowers
- Cuts through grass and leaves alike
- Battery backup may be an issue
- Costly
- Heavy
Buyers’ Guide
Having a lawn and a well-kept one at that is a dream for many. But knowledge about lawn mowers will help to turn that dream into reality. There is a lot of content on the web, so, narrowing it down to the 11 best battery powered lawn mowers helps to provide a much-needed guide on how to go about bringing home that perfect lawnmower.
Listed below are the factors to keep in mind…
-
Power
Although lawnmowers are becoming eco-friendly, one thing that cannot be compromised on is power. While battery-powered lawnmowers may not have the capacity to match the gas-powered products, people need to keep an eye out for the engine and electric motor for optimum performance. Battery backup is also essential to meet the demands of the lawn.
-
Cutting Capacity
Cutting capacity depends as much on the power provided as on the blades. Lawnmowers with well-equipped blades for all-terrain usability will obviously score higher as compared to other products. Also, the blades should be height adjustable to ensure that buyers can trim their lawns according to their needs.
-
Sturdiness
If the lawnmower is not robust enough to withstand the demands of the backyard then the number of technical installations hardly matters. The build of the deck, along with the body ensures that the lawnmower has a longer lifespan and is able to resist weather conditions like rain or sun and even dampness of the earth.
Verdict
Climate change is real and battery-powered lawn mowers are the future.
Having looked at a number of products, it is fair to say that with less noise, considerably less fuss and ease of use, battery outscores gas when it comes to lawnmowers.
The products are equipped with new technologies to make lawn mowing, which is usually a tedious task, easier and perhaps even fun. The focus on safety and the choice to be even able to mow lawns in the dark is now a reality.
There is a lot to choose from, so here’s a quick recap of our favorites to help ease that headache. The Greenworks Twin Force Cordless Lawn Mower looks to be the most user-friendly at an affordable price while the Oregon 120V Professional Series is best suited for heavy duty mowing, although the price is on the higher side.
Through this article we hope to have provided you with at least an idea of how to go about it. Happy buying and mowing. That beautiful lawn is not far away now!
