How to choose a battery lawn mower?
- Cutting width and height. In short: the wider the range, the better.
- mowing area – It is designed for one battery charge. However, many manufacturers like to brag, so to speak. Therefore, divide the area by 2, and get an approximate area that the lawn mower can handle without recharging.
- Mulching function. Allows you to turn cut grass into free fertilizer for your lawn or summer cottage.
- Which battery lawn mower is better – will show Battery capacity. The higher it is, the longer the device will be able to "live" without recharging. For example, a 4 Ah battery is enough for about half an hour of work if you mow at a height of 3-4 cm.
- Adjusting the cutting height – expensive models have up to 10 levels, which will please landscape designers, and 5-7 is enough for a family home. It is also desirable that the adjustment be central – single-lever, and not manual, requiring the mower to stop.
- Self-propelled or non-self-propelled. For a large area, or as a gift to an elderly person, it is best to choose a self-propelled lawn mower. It is very convenient to use – you don't have to push it forward, it goes by itself, you just need to set the right direction. However, there are also lightweight non-self-propelled models that are perfect for working on a small lawn.

- Cutting width/height: 40/70 cm
- Mulching nozzle: yes
- Grass catcher: yes, 50 l

• The fact that a lawnmower is not self-propelled does not mean that it is difficult to use. Case in point: the 16-inch Ryobi One Plus mower. It is extremely compact for its power and weighs only 17 kg.
• The ONE+ uses standard 18V Ryobi batteries. These are the same lithium-ion power packs the company uses in its popular line of home power tools. The lawn mower comes with a battery and charger in case you don't have one handy.
• The only drawback of this model is the small cutting width. However, for owners of private houses with a small plot – up to 6 acres – this lawn mower is ideal.

• The compact and lightweight non-self-propelled model from Greenworks has a large area and cutting height, and is suitable for large areas. It's easy to push across the lawn, and the only thing I can complain about is the poor battery mount that makes it difficult to install. "Three in one" means that this mower is equipped with:
- 2 brushed motors,
- 2 blades
- 2 battery compartments.
• The design of the G-MAX 40V is thought out to the smallest detail, there is a sensor for filling the grass catcher with a capacity of 60 liters, and a limiter that will protect the knives from colliding with a snag or other insurmountable obstacle. The device can work with 2 batteries at once, and confidently passes uneven terrain – hillocks and mounds. There is also a turbo mode, it will turn on itself if the lawn mower collides with tall and juicy grass.

• Small cutting width and not too roomy, but the easily removable 31 liter grass collector make this non-self-propelled model suitable for ennobling a small lawn. The mower is equipped with a special "comb", thanks to which it can accurately cut grass close to the edge of the lawn, near a wall or curb. And the folding handle allows you to adjust the height to the height of the user.
• An important point: the manufacturer was not greedy, and put both the battery and the charger in the package.

• The golden mean in the ranking of the best models of battery lawn mowers. It is not too heavy, and has a mulching function for an environmentally friendly fertilizer. With a large blade, the Greenworks non-self-propelled mower cuts grass quickly and accurately. According to the owners, it mows well even on an uneven site.
• Both the battery and charger are included with the machine. However, its main drawback is the lack of a fast charging function, so you have to wait 4 hours until the battery is charged. Although the claimed mowing area is 6 acres, users claim that on one charge this model copes with a plot of 3 acres, so it is advisable to buy a second battery to speed up the process.
Pros and cons comfortable handle quiet operation fine mulching it is advisable to buy a second battery, since the real mowing area on a single charge is 3 acres4. DAEWOO DLM 5140Li

• If you have a large yard in front of your house and don't want to spend the effort pushing your lawnmower from place to place, then a self-propelled model is a good choice. And a self-propelled mulching model like the DAEWOO DLM 5140Li is even better. If fertilizing the lawn is not required, then the cut grass will be sent to a large 60-liter grass collector or simply fly out to the side of the traveling device.
• For both tall and short grass, this model has a single-lever, seven-step cutting height adjustment. And for fast and trouble-free operation, the proprietary brushless motor with a rotation speed of 3000 rpm is responsible.
• The body of the DLM 5140Li is made of steel with an anti-corrosion coating, so you don't have to worry about rust. And the rear wheels are made larger than the front ones, which makes the mower maneuverable and passable.
