Best Lawn Mowers of 2026

"After several months with this mower, I'm really happy with the switch to battery power. It's lightweight, super quiet, and the controls are simple to use. One battery handles my whole yard, and I love not having to deal with gas or vibration. The only thing I might change is going for a wider cutting path to save a bit of time, but overall, I absolutely recommend it, especially if you use other tools from the same brand."

"I've used the 16” model for a few years now, and even after storing it outdoors through rain and snow, it still works like a champ. It's not the biggest or most powerful, but the value for the money is incredible, and the battery lasts a long time. If I needed to replace it, I'd just get a larger version, but I'm really impressed with how durable and easy to handle this mower is—even my kids can use it."

"As someone on a budget and not mechanically inclined, I found this mower easy to assemble and operate. It's light and cute, but for my overgrown lawn, the battery ran out before I could finish, and I had to keep stopping to unjam clippings. Next year, with more regular mowing, I think it will work better. I do wish the bag caught more clippings, but overall it’s great exercise and manageable for someone with a bad back."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how light and easy to use this mower is—even as someone who's never mowed a lawn before, I had no trouble getting started. The mower is powerful and quiet, and I love that there's no gas smell or exhaust. Assembly was straightforward, though the grass basket takes a bit of effort to fit. I'd definitely recommend it, especially for smaller women or those with limited strength."

"After switching from a heavy-duty gas mower, I found this electric model to be a game-changer for our small city yard. It’s compact, easy to store, and surprisingly efficient at cutting. The bagger is simple to remove, and overall, it’s made yardwork more enjoyable for me."

"This electric mower is perfect for tight spaces our landscapers can’t reach. It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to handle, and I was impressed by its clean cutting ability. Despite its low price, it’s outperformed our expectations and is now a staple in our yard care."

"I was skeptical about switching to a battery-powered mower, but this Greenworks model truly impressed me. It's incredibly lightweight, making it a breeze to handle, and it delivers a clean, even cut. I was especially surprised by how well it handled bumps in my yard—no stalling or issues at all. The battery lasted long enough for my medium-sized yard, and I still had power left over. Plus, the bagging feature is fantastic—it really stuffs the clippings in tight. The sleek, modern design and quiet operation are just bonuses. I'm completely sold and ready to sell my old gas mower!"

"When I unboxed this mower, I loved how simple it was to assemble and how light it felt. After charging the battery, I tackled my small, leaf-covered yard and finished the job on a single charge. The bagger worked great, and overall, I couldn't be happier with how it performed."

"I've found this Greenworks 16-inch brushless mower to be superior to other battery models at its price point, especially in terms of power and deck height adjustment. The only minor downside is that, like all battery mowers, the batteries can drain quickly, so having a spare is helpful. Overall, it's a great investment if you're willing to build into the Greenworks platform."

"I was skeptical when my wife wanted this, but after using it to clear leaves from our yard, I’m honestly a convert. It’s so much better than raking and really does make leaf cleanup faster and easier."

"Assembly was straightforward, and I love how light and simple it is to use. It sweeps up leaves, pine cones, and even pine needles with ease, but I did notice it works best on even surfaces. On bumpy grass, the wheels sometimes get stuck, but overall, it’s saved my back this fall."

"Honestly, I was impressed by how well this sweeper collects leaves and acorn caps. The removable bucket is super handy for dumping debris. While it doesn’t pick up actual acorns and can be a bit tough to push on turf, for everyday leaf cleanup, it’s a solid tool."

"I appreciate how light this mower feels compared to gas models. Navigating tight spots around my yard is a breeze, and storing it takes up little space. It’s an ideal choice for anyone prioritizing ease of use."

"I’ve tried both the grass bag and the mulching function—the bag is simple to empty, while the mulching mode keeps my lawn looking neat between cuts. Having options for different seasons is a real bonus."

"The mower’s quiet, fume-free performance stands out most to me. I can mow early or late without disturbing my neighbors, and maintenance is minimal. It’s a dependable electric mower for regular yard care."

"I've been using this mower for two years, and I can't believe how much easier it's made my yard work. It's incredibly easy to push, super lightweight, and even handles tall grass by the lake where it's often muddy. I never have to hassle with gas or oil, and the battery life is more than enough to cover my half-acre yard, especially since I got a second set. As a 64-year-old woman with no prior mowing experience, I feel empowered and my lawn has never looked better."

"Switching from a manual mower to this one was a game-changer for me. I can now finish my lawn so much faster, and it powers through even thick weeds with ease. The mower is light enough to carry and folds up for storage, which is a big plus. The dual charger is convenient, and it works with my other Worx tools. Only minor gripe is that folding the handle could be more intuitive, but overall, it's close to perfect."

"My yard is about 6,000 sq ft with some slopes, and this mower has impressed me every time. It's very lightweight, extremely quiet, and cuts evenly, even through damp or tall grass. The batteries hold up well and recharge quickly. I also love that it mulches the clippings, which is healthier for my lawn. After each use, I just recharge and it's ready to go. I was so happy with it that I bought a Worx weed wacker to go with it!"

"I was initially skeptical, but after trying this out, I found it much easier on my back than raking or scooping leaves. It's simple to assemble, and while it doesn't get every single leaf in one pass, it does a solid job, especially on thicker layers. The small collection bag fills quickly, but that's a minor tradeoff for not having to constantly stoop down. If you don't have a ride-on mower, this is a great, hands-on alternative."

"Putting it together was straightforward, though the instructions didn't match the parts exactly, which was a bit frustrating. However, once it's assembled, it works well for most leaves. It's definitely easier than raking, though not as efficient as a riding mower with a bagger. You just need to empty the collection bag fairly often, and sometimes push the leaves to the back to make more room."

"This tool does a pretty good job for the price, but I wish there were a few tweaks. Some debris and dust can fly up, and the bag design could be improved to catch more and keep things cleaner. Still, for smaller yards and lighter jobs, it's a handy solution that saves time and effort."

"I was genuinely surprised by how powerful and quiet this lawn mower is. The battery lasts a long time, and it’s so easy to use and store. My lawn looks great after every cut, and I especially appreciate how lightweight and maneuverable it is compared to my old gas mower."

"As someone who struggles with gas mower pull-starts, I’m amazed by this battery-powered mower’s strength. It cut through thick, tall grass effortlessly, and the blades are sharp. I love how easy it is to fold and store. The battery’s longevity really impressed me as well."

"I found the assembly straightforward and really like the dual battery system. The wide 25-inch deck makes mowing much faster, and the metal construction feels sturdy. I do wish the battery release was easier to spot, but overall, this mower has been a great addition to my yard tools."

"I found the mower super easy to put together—no tools necessary, just snap on the handle. I love that I don’t have to deal with gas, oil, or extension cords anymore. The cut quality is much better than any rotary mower I’ve used, and the bag works great after a quick adjustment. I recommend a quick wipe-down and a spritz of WD-40 after each use, and it’s held together perfectly after my first few cuts. Highly recommended!"

"After using this mower several times, I’m convinced it’s one of my best purchases on Amazon. It’s exactly as described if you use it properly: keep your lawn short and mow regularly. I appreciate that it’s lightweight and easy to carry, plus there’s no need for gas or batteries. Maintenance is simple—just wipe the blades and oil as directed. Perfect for small, flat lawns, and it’s a real blessing not having to lug around a heavy, motorized mower."

"This mower is ideal for small, city lawns—it takes up way less garage space and gives a beautiful, clean cut. I like that it’s not loud and uses only manpower. It’s easy to assemble and comes with a catcher for clippings. Just be aware: it’s a bit of a workout on thick or tall grass, and not the best on hills. Still, for my flat yard, it’s a great fit and I’d recommend it."
