PowerSmart/CNET

This ordinary-looking PowerSmart 17-inch electric lawn mower is corded, which is why it’s cheaper than cordless models. A cord can limit your range of motion, but it also means you won’t have to deal with a battery running out of juice. This model has a 13-amp motor and includes a grass catcher, hex wrench, choke plug and handle for the grass catcher. The grass catcher can hold up to 12 gallons of grass and create mulch out of it if you prefer.

At just $80 and only 12 inches wide, this lawn mower is great for smaller yards or homes with less storage space. It’s also perfect for budget-conscious shoppers who want to be able to mow, mulch and trim tricky areas.

Who is an electric lawn mower suitable for?

There are various pros and cons of electric mowers, so you’ll want to assess your needs before ditching gas for batteries. 

The biggest downside to battery-powered electric mowers is usually the power. Gas mowers have more power for tackling hilly terrain or larger yards where an electric mower’s torque and battery life may let you down. 

The average household could get along just fine with an electric mower, and easy-to-replace rechargeable batteries can be used to extend the range affordably. Electric mowers are also preferable for those who want a quieter operation or need easier maneuverability since they’re usually lighter than their gas-powered counterparts, not to mention the environmental benefits.
