It&#8217;s a high-performance 3-in-1 mower with a mulch plug, rear bag, and side discharge chute. We love its ease of use and performance. The LM2114 is ideal for flat lawns up to \u00bd acre.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ego is an industry-leading innovator of battery-powered technology. Their ARC Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are top-rated for durability, efficiency, and performance. That gives their power tools a competitive edge. The LM2114 is potent enough to compete with gas-powered push mowers.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cutting deck:<\/strong> Its weather-resistant plastic deck has a fast mulching blade with 6-foot pounds of cutting torque. It makes clean cuts, even when the grass is tall or thick. The seven cutting height positions range from 1.25 to 4 inches.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ease of use:<\/strong> The mower\u2019s smooth on flat lawns but unsuitable for hills or uneven terrain. It has a three-position adjustable handlebar with a satisfying grip. It\u2019s easy to maneuver around landscaping and has bright LED headlights for night mowing.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Battery life:<\/strong> The battery lasts up to 55 minutes on a single charge and fully recharges in about 80 minutes. The mower comes with a 56-volt, 6 Ah ARC Li-ion battery and a Power+ charger.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-specifications\"><span id=\"specifications\">Specifications<\/span><\/h4>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Battery:<\/strong> 56-volt, 6 Ah ARC Li-ion (1)<\/li>    <li><strong>Cutting heights:<\/strong> 1.25 &#8211; 4 in.<\/li>    <li><strong>Cutting width<\/strong>: 20.5 in.<\/li>    <li><strong>Lawn size:<\/strong> \u00bc &#8211; \u00bd acre<\/li>    <li><strong>Motor:<\/strong> Brushless<\/li>    <li><strong>Warranty: <\/strong>5-year tool, 3-year battery<\/li>    <li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 60.25 lb.<\/li> <\/ul>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-cutting-features\"><span id=\"cutting-features\">Cutting features<\/span><\/h4>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bagger<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mulch plug<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Side discharge<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cutting height positions<\/strong><\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Number of blades<\/strong><\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-pros-and-cons\"><span id=\"pros-and-cons\">Pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>What we liked&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What we didn\u2019t like<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u2713 Fast blade speed<br>\u2713 Easy to operate<br>\u2713 Easy to maneuver&nbsp;<br>\u2713 High-quality cutting system<br>\u2713 High-performance batteries<br>\u2713 Smooth on flat lawns<\/td><td>\u2717 Clogs sometimes<br>\u2717 Not good on rugged terrain<br>\u2717 Not good on hills<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to buy<\/strong><\/p>   <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-cc99d1e9-0c96-4f82-827c-2880c3940a80\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/EGO-Power-Cordless-Battery-Charger\/dp\/B0BLTBWCPT?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=b6a95177503d41d114853948fa4f4947&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #00d084; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Amazon<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>  <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-a9801ed3-9420-4e93-913a-9fa6c70d2e9c\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sovrn.co\/14rfne9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #0693e3; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Lowe&#8217;s<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-2-yard-force-yf1518-3n1-best-corded-push-mower\"><span id=\"2-yard-force-yf1518-3n1-best-corded-push-mower\">2.

It runs on a potent 15-amp motor and can mulch, bag, or side discharge. We recommend it for flat or hilly lawns up to \u00bd acre.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cutting deck:<\/strong> It has a durable 19-inch, 14-gauge fabricated steel deck with an 18-inch hardened steel mower blade. The mower has seven cutting height positions from 1.25 to 3.75 inches. It cuts well if you keep your grass under 6 inches tall, but struggles when the grass is overgrown or very dense.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ease of use:<\/strong> The mower moves smoothly on flat and sloped lawns with its PVC-wrapped high rear wheel design. It&#8217;s easy to maneuver around twists and turns and fits in tight spaces. You can quickly adjust its cutting height with a single lever. Its handle folds for compact vertical storage, and its carrying handles make it easy to pick up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Extension cord:<\/strong> It\u2019s safe to mow with an extension cord up to 50 feet long and at least 12-gauge thickness.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-specifications\"><span id=\"specifications-2\">Specifications<\/span><\/h4>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Cutting heights:<\/strong> 1.25 &#8211; 3.75 in.<\/li>    <li><strong>Cutting width<\/strong>: 18 in.<\/li>    <li><strong>Lawn size:<\/strong> \u00bc &#8211; \u00bd acre<\/li>    <li><strong>Motor:<\/strong> 15 amp electric motor<\/li>    <li><strong>Warranty: <\/strong>2 years<\/li>    <li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 46 lb.<\/li> <\/ul>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-cutting-features\"><span id=\"cutting-features-2\">Cutting features<\/span><\/h4>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bag grass clippings<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mulch grass clippings<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Side discharge<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cutting height positions<\/strong><\/td><td>7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Number of blades<\/strong><\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-pros-and-cons\"><span id=\"pros-and-cons-2\">Pros and cons<\/span><\/h4>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>What we liked&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What we didn\u2019t like&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u2713 Fabricated steel deck<br>\u2713 Hardened steel blade<br>\u2713 Smooth on flat lawns<br>\u2713 Smooth on sloped lawns<br>\u2713 Easy to assemble&nbsp;<br>\u2713 Unlimited runtime<br>\u2713 Affordable<\/td><td>\u2717 Must be within 50 feet of a power outlet<br>\u2717 Struggles on tall grass<br>\u2717 Struggles on very thick grass<br>\u2717 Not good on rugged terrain<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to buy<\/strong><\/p>   <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-001b215a-827c-4f8f-bee5-aefa6c454dce\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yard-Force-Electric-YF1518-3N1-Positions\/dp\/B0C85K1CJ3?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=7773a016b6d2a90d8a55bcbd9205cb0c&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #00d084; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Amazon<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>  <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-362dafd6-4d60-4350-bb4d-584a6eefefab\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/YARD-FORCE-18-in-15-Amp-Corded-Electric-3-In-1-Walk-Behind-Lawn-Mower-with-Vertical-Storage-YF1518-3N1\/318481785\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #ff6900; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Home Depot<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-3-ryobi-ryac130-s-best-push-mower-under-200\"><span id=\"3-ryobi-ryac130-s-best-push-mower-under-200\">3.

When you finish mowing, the handle folds for easy storage.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Extension cord:<\/strong> You can safely mow with an extension cord up to 100 feet, as long as it has at least a 12-gauge thickness.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-specifications\"><span id=\"specifications-3\">Specifications<\/span><\/h4>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Cutting heights:<\/strong> .905 &#8211; 2.44 in.<\/li>    <li><strong>Cutting width<\/strong>: 13 in.<\/li>    <li><strong>Lawn size:<\/strong> Up to \u00bc acre<\/li>    <li><strong>Motor:<\/strong> 11 amp electric motor<\/li>    <li><strong>Warranty: <\/strong>3 years<\/li>    <li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 23 lb.<\/li> <\/ul>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-cutting-features\"><span id=\"cutting-features-3\">Cutting features<\/span><\/h4>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bag grass clippings<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mulch grass clippings<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Side discharge<\/strong><\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cutting height positions<\/strong><\/td><td>5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Number of blades<\/strong><\/td><td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-pros-and-cons\"><span id=\"pros-and-cons-3\">Pros and Cons<\/span><\/h4>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>What we liked&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What we didn\u2019t like<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u2713 Lightweight<br>\u2713 Affordable<br>\u2713 Easy to assemble<br>\u2713 Fits in tight spaces<br>\u2713 Unlimited runtime<br>\u2713 Easy to maneuver<br>\u2713 Smooth on flat lawns<\/td><td>\u2717 Must be within 100 feet of a power outlet<br>\u2717 Not good for tall grass<br>\u2717 Struggles on thick grass<br>\u2717 Not good on rugged terrain<br>\u2717 Not good on hills<br>\u2717 No side discharge<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to buy<\/strong><\/p>   <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-1f807f1f-175f-4d61-beab-60e25308bf03\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Corded-Electric-Behind-Maintenance-Filters\/dp\/B0797Y1B15?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=lawnlove-20&amp;linkId=e11948913a2df0ec838fc6a03f246306&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #00d084; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Amazon<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>  <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-7db75698-620b-477a-aa85-4e1e74c2b860\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/RYOBI-13-in-11-Amp-Corded-Electric-Walk-Behind-Push-Mower-RYAC130-S\/304959589\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #ff6900; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Home Depot<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-top-4-electric-self-propelled-lawn-mowers-reviews\"><span id=\"top-4-electric-self-propelled-lawn-mowers-reviews\">Top 4 electric self-propelled lawn mowers &#8211; Reviews<\/span><\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-1-ego-power-select-cut-lm2135sp-best-self-propelled-mower\"><span id=\"1-ego-power-select-cut-lm2135sp-best-self-propelled-mower\">1.

It&#8217;s a potent 3-in-1 mower that mulches, bags, and side discharges. With its high-efficiency brushless motor and 56-volt ARC Li-ion battery, the mower is mighty enough to compete with gas models.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LM2135SP has enough juice for flat lawns up to \u00bd acre. Consider Ego&#8217;s souped-up model, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sovrn.co\/1d42swv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Select Cut XP<\/a>, for uneven terrain, increased cutting power, and extended runtime.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cutting deck:<\/strong> It has a weather-resistant poly deck and a customizable dual-blade cutting system with three interchangeable lower blades (mulching, bagging, and extended runtime). The mower makes crisp cuts on well-kempt grass, but struggles if the lawn is overgrown. The dual-lever mow height adjuster has seven positions from 1.5 to 4 inches.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ease of use:<\/strong> Ego&#8217;s Touch Drive self-propelled system has a learning curve but is super simple once you acclimate. It uses palm pressure to engage and has a variable speed dial from .9 to 3.1 MPH. The handle adjusts to three positions and folds for compact storage. The mow height is easy to change single-handedly, and its bright LED headlights provide excellent night vision.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Battery life:<\/strong> The 7 Ah battery lasts up to an hour on a single charge and fully recharges in an hour with the included Rapid Charger.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"16-specifications\"><span id=\"specifications-4\">Specifications<\/span><\/h4>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Battery:<\/strong> 56-volt, 7.5 Ah ARC Li-ion (1)<\/li>    <li><strong>Cutting heights:<\/strong> 1.5 &#8211;

It&#8217;s an excellent bargain-buy for cost-conscious homeowners with flat or slightly sloped lawns up to \u00bd acre.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built with a Greenworks Intelligent Brushless Motor and powered by a 40-volt Li-ion battery, the mower has superb strength for its price point. It&#8217;s a 3-in-1 model with a rear bag, mulch plug, and side discharge chute.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cutting deck:<\/strong> The 21-inch forged steel deck is durable. It has Greenworks&#8217; SmartCut system that senses grass to adapt intuitively. The blade is fast enough to cut through wet or thick grass but struggles when the grass is taller than 6 inches. The mower has seven cutting height positions ranging from 1.375 to 3.75 inches.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ease of use:<\/strong> It has rear-wheel drive and good tire traction, making it easy to push on flat lawns and slight hills.

It&#8217;s quick, comfortable, and easy to control on flat, hilly, or uneven lawns up to \u00be acre. It comes with a mulcher, bagger, and side discharge.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Whisper Series mower speaks softly but carries a big stick. Ryobi&#8217;s innovative brushless technology reduces noise levels, making the mower as quiet as a hair dryer. Yet, it sharply slices grass and decimates the clippings into a super fine mulch.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cutting deck:<\/strong> Its fabricated composite deck comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The deck has Ryobi&#8217;s CROSS CUT dual-blade system. It cuts well, even if the lawn&#8217;s tall or wet and only struggles if the grass is also very thick. The mower has seven cutting-height positions from 1 to 4 inches.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ease of use:<\/strong> It&#8217;s easy to push on flat lawns, steep hills, or rugged terrain. The mower has all-wheel drive, high rear wheels, and superb tire traction. The drive system intuitively adjusts to your walking speed. Its handle adjusts to comfort and folds for vertical storage.

The mower mulches, bags, and cuts pro-caliber stripes on flat or uneven lawns up to \u00bd acre.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toro is one of the most trusted lawn mower manufacturers, known for its advanced self-propelled technology. They first made their mark with gas mowers but are gaining ground with their innovative three-phase brushless electric motors. The Toro Stripe packs a potent punch, leaving lawns looking lush.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cutting deck:<\/strong> It has a 21-inch composite deck with Toro&#8217;s Recycler cutting system. The deck has outstanding airflow for crisp cuts and fine mulch. The blade speed automatically adjusts based on torque and cuts tall grass well as long as it&#8217;s not too dense. The nine cutting height positions range from 1 to 4 inches.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ease of use:<\/strong> It has an easy-to-adjust variable speed knob and turbo button. The Super Bagger is easy to empty, and the high-beam headlights give excellent night visibility. The mower stores vertically and is compatible with the MyToro App.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Battery life:<\/strong> It runs up to 60 minutes on a single charge and recharges in 5 hours with the included charger.

Its intuitive controls and comfortable seating make mowing a breeze. It\u2019s easy to operate, even if you&#8217;re new to riding mowers.

They\u2019re the most affordable type of lawn mower but also require the most elbow grease.&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Self-propelled lawn mowers<\/strong> are walk-behinds with a drive system that moves them forward. They require less exertion than push mowers, but also cost more. All-wheel drive models have the best traction, followed by rear-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive mowers aren&#8217;t suitable for hilly or uneven lawns but are great at making sharp turns.<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Lawn tractors<\/strong> are riding lawn mowers. They haul heavier weight, are more affordable, and are better at handling hills than zero-turn mowers. But they have a wider turn radius, typically 16 to 20 inches.&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Zero-turn lawn mowers<\/strong> are the most expensive riding mowers. They\u2019re typically faster and more potent than lawn tractors. They also have a 0-inch turn radius. Zero-turns are best for large yards with many twists and turns.&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Robotic lawn mowers<\/strong> are best for homeowners with wiggle room in their budget and a craving for cutting-edge tech. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lawnlove.com\/blog\/benefits-of-robot-lawn-mowers\/#0-what-is-a-robotic-lawn-mower\">benefits of a robotic mower<\/a> include taking up less storage space, convenience, and efficiency.
