A lawn mower is an investment. The money you put into this piece of equipment is as important as the yard around your home. Make this task easy, and maybe even enjoyable, by purchasing the right lawn mower for your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are the key features to consider when shopping for a push lawn mower, also known as a walk\u2011behind mower.<\/p>\n\n\n
Reel lawn mowers<\/a> have become less common with new technology available, but they remain a wonderful option for homeowners with smaller yards. A reel lawn mower is a manual push mower designed for very small, flat yards where you provide the power behind the cut. For many, push\u2011reel mowers are a nostalgic choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are quiet, economical, require little maintenance, and use no gasoline. Manual reel mowers are environmentally friendly and produce zero emissions. Grass clippings can also be used for compost.<\/p>\n\n\n Electric lawn mowers<\/a> are great for the environment, operating quietly with no emissions and easy push\u2011button starts. Corded options are best for smaller, flat lawns and offer consistent power as long as they remain plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cordless electric mowers run off a rechargeable battery. They offer excellent mobility, but the cut quality can decline as the battery depletes.<\/p>\n\n\n EGO lawn mowers <\/a>take battery\u2011powered performance to the next level. Their advanced 56\u2011volt ARC Lithium\u2122 battery technology delivers the power of gas without the noise, fumes, or maintenance. Unlike typical cordless electric mowers, EGO batteries maintain consistent power from start to finish, which helps prevent uneven cuts as the charge drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why homeowners love EGO mowers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n EGO is an excellent choice for medium to large yards if you want the power of gas combined with the convenience of a cordless electric mower. It is a great option for anyone who wants modern performance that is environmentally friendly and easy to maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n Gas lawn mowers<\/a> are ideal for larger yards and are generally more powerful than electric models. They offer wider cutting paths and can handle heavier, thicker grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A standard engine is sufficient for flat, smaller yards. An overhead cam (OHC) engine offers more power and quieter operation compared to a standard engine. For uneven or hilly terrain, an overhead valve (OHV) engine is the strongest choice. It provides efficient performance, cleaner operation, and easy starting.<\/p>\n\n\n If you expect any member of your family to use the mower, and not overexert themselves doing so, it\u2019s a good idea to buy a mower that is self-propelled<\/a>. These mowers move automatically at speeds of one to three miles per hour when the drive is engaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Front wheel drive is best for yards that are flat. It is easier to maneuver around corners and obstacles in a yard without letting go of the drive and helps avoid tearing up your yard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rear wheel drive is best for hilly yards, so when you are going up a hill and your mower tips back, the mower will still pull you up the hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most mowers only go one speed, but some do offer variable speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n Your choice depends on yard size, storage space, budget, and how physically involved you want the mowing process to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElectric Lawn Mowers<\/h3>\n\n\n
