Best Electric Lawn Mowers

Like many other budget lawn mowers, the Grunhelm EM-6118B has a very simple design. Its body is made of polypropylene - a plastic that is quite strong (by the standards of this equipment). An electric motor is “hidden” under the cover of the body, which, using a belt drive, rotates the cutting mechanism - a metal knife with a cutting width of 32 cm. With 1500 W of power, the lawn mower can quickly and efficiently mow both well-groomed lawns and slightly neglected lawns. But it should be borne in mind that vegetation more than 30 cm high is too difficult a rival for this machine, since it does not quite have enough strength to “chew” stems of such length. The design of the mower allows you to change the mowing height of the grass in stages (25, 40 and 55 mm). Height adjustment is extremely simple (although not very convenient): you need to turn the device upside down and rearrange the front and rear axles in the desired grooves. Please note that when driving on very uneven surfaces (for example, mole holes), the axles may spontaneously “jump out” of their grooves, so the mowing height should be checked from time to time.

The mown grass is collected in a plastic grass catcher with a capacity of 35 l. There is no fill indicator on it, but you will know in good time that it is time to empty the grass from the hopper - when the container is completely full, the rear part of the lawn mower outweighs, and the front wheels come off the ground. The handles are attached rigidly and are not height-adjustable. The handle is not very long, so tall people with a height above average have to hunch over a little when pushing the lawn mower across the lawn.

In general, considering the low cost of this device, we can say that the Grunhelm EM-6118B is a good option for tech who want to have a well-groomed lawn on their 2-4 acres of garden plot, but are not ready to invest in purchasing more serious garden equipment.

The electric motor installed on the Sequoia SELM1432 electric lawn mower has a power of 1400 W. This is quite enough to mow lawn grass and mixed grass on a personal plot, but on thick weeds with thick stems or long meadow grass that gets wound around the blade, the mower may "trip". Due to the fairly narrow body (cut width 32 cm), the device easily maneuvers between bushes, flower beds and garden beds, so even when processing hard-to-reach places, you can do without a trimmer. The light weight of the equipment (only 7.1 kg) allows you not to get tired, pushing the mower back and forth on the lawn while mowing the grass, and not to strain your back, pulling the garden tool out of the trunk of the car.

The user can adjust the lawn mower so that the rotating blade cuts the grass at a height of 30, 50 or 70 mm from the ground. The adjustment mechanism is not the most convenient, but it is extremely simple. To change the cutting height, turn the lawn mower upside down and, pulling the spring-loaded wheel axles, move them into the grooves corresponding to the desired grass length. To collect the green mass mown during lawn care, the tool is equipped with a plastic grass catcher. It is not very large in volume (only 30 l) and a little "leaky" (small blades of grass can fly out of the hopper through the perforations on the walls). But there is an indicator on its lid that signals the need to empty the grass catcher - there is no need to stop and check how full it is.

Simple and inexpensive network lawn mowers, such as the Sequoia SELM1432, make sense to buy if the size of the lawn on the garden plot does not exceed 300 m². And for larger plots, you should choose more powerful equipment.

The Vitals Master EZP 321s electric lawn mower cuts grass in 32 cm wide strips, cutting vegetation with a rotating blade. The cutting system is driven by a 1000 W electric motor. This power may not be enough to mow tall and thick weeds in a very neglected area, but it is more than enough for regular maintenance of a neat lawn near a house or in the country. The mower has enough power not only to cut the grass, but also to deftly throw everything mown into the grass catcher. The bag is made of mesh stretched over a wire frame. The grass catcher has a small volume (only 30 l), but it is translucent - you can always see how full the container is, and you immediately know when to stop and pour out the grass.

The chassis design provides for three fixed axle positions. By moving the wheel axles from one groove to another (this is done simply, but not very conveniently, because you have to turn the lawn mower over), you can set the mowing height at 27, 45 or 52 mm. The lowest height is well suited for "English" lawns, which are a thick carpet of special grass. The highest position is better suited for regular lawns and mixed grass.

The Vitals Master EZP 321s lawn mower is inexpensive and does not consume much electricity. It has been produced since 2013 - enough time to pass a verdict on what this device is. In short, we can say that the quality is normal, there are no special complaints. If your plot is small (within 2 - 3 acres), and the grass is not waist-deep, then this mower will perform its functions well.

If you decide to seriously take care of a small lawn with an area of a couple of hundred square meters, then the Ryobi RLM-13E33S network lawn mower can be a good assistant in solving this problem. It is equipped with a 1300 W electric motor and a rotary cutting system with a cutting width of 33 cm. The body of the device is made of high-quality ABS plastic, which withstands small impacts well (for example, collisions with obstacles or pebbles flying out from under the knife), and individual places are reinforced with stiffeners, increasing the strength of the structure. The small height of the front part of the lawn mower allows you to easily mow the grass under overhanging branches of bushes or, say, "dive" under garden furniture placed on the lawn. There is a handle on top of the body, due to which the 9-kg device is conveniently carried or loaded into the trunk of a car. On the sides of the body there are Easy Edge "combs". They “tuck” the grass right under the blade, allowing you to neatly mow lawns along curbs, fences or walls, without leaving a single blade of grass sticking out.

The size of the wheels of this machine (⌀14 cm front and ⌀18 cm rear) allow you to "ride" not only on perfectly flat lawns, like golf courses, but also on slightly "hilly" lawns that have not yet been brought to an ideal state. The rear handle is height-adjustable, so each user can choose the most comfortable position for their height. It can also be folded in half so that the lawn mower takes up as little space as possible during storage or transportation in the trunk of a car. The buttons (levers) for turning on the electric motor are made in such a way that they are convenient to press with both hands, so the Ryobi RLM-13E33S lawn mower is equally well suited for right-handed and left-handed people.

The mowing height is adjusted using a synchronous mechanism - one movement of the lever makes the body of the device rise or fall to the required level. The mechanism has 5 stages (from 20 mm to 60 mm every 10 mm), which allows you to use this lawn mower for mowing lawns of different types: from short-cut "English" lawns to grass of normal height, typical for private plots. Mown vegetation is collected in a 35-liter grass catcher. It has a filling indicator that shows when you need to pause and shake the green mass out of the bag. And if you prefer to work without stopping, then instead of the grass catcher you can install a plug for mulching(included in the kit).

The Bosch ARM 34 electric lawn mower copes well with thick lawn grass and tall vegetation due to the fact that it is equipped with an electric motor with a power of 1300 W and a torque of 15 Nm. When mowing the lawn, the device cuts the grass in strips 34 cm wide. There are small flaps at the ends of the blade knife. They help to form a directed air flow, which pulls the blades of grass upward before cutting them, and lifts the lying stems. This shape of the knife allows you to achieve a more even lawn after mowing. Another interesting detail is the GrassCombs guides attached to the body just behind the front wheels. They grab the vegetation that did not get under the deck and direct it directly under the knife. Thanks to these guides, the lawn mower cuts the grass well and cleanly along fences, walls and borders.

This lawn mower has excellent ergonomics, which helps reduce user fatigue while mowing the lawn. The main handle is long enough for people of almost any height, and it can be adjusted in height (by changing the angle). The vertical Ergoflex handles, reminiscent of an airplane control column, allow you to keep your wrists in a comfortable and healthy position. There are control buttons on each handle, so you can control the mower with either hand.

The Bosch ARM 34 lawn mower is suitable for tech who want to maintain the grass cover on a plot of land with an area of about 4 - 5 acres. It is reliable, convenient and allows you to easily adjust the mowing height (5 positions in the range from 20 to 70 mm) with one movement of the hand using a synchronous mechanism. An additional argument in favor of this model is the fact that almost anywhere in the country there are service centers that service Bosch lawn mowers.
