Top 15 Best Electric Lawn Mowers 2023
Contents:
• Regardless of the manufacturer and market, all models of the best electric lawnmowers have three characteristics in common:
- There are no harmful emissions, as is the case with a gasoline engine.
- Quiet work. Your neighbors will appreciate it if you want to start mowing at 7:00 am on a Saturday.
- Ease of operation – no fuss with gasoline.
• The best electric lawn mowers of 2023 will feature popular options for both large and small lawns, non-propelled and self-propelled lawn mowers – for any wallet size. The article was compiled both according to the reviews of experts from CNET, Pro Tool Reviews and other specialized sites, and according to the assessments of users of the VseTools store and the Yandex.Market marketplace.
How to choose an electric lawn mower for a summer residence
Self-propelled vs conventional wheeled
• Self-propelled lawn mowers are equipped with a drive system that eliminates the need to push the device forward. They are more massive and more expensive than non-self-propelled ones, and are designed to work on large areas (up to 20-30 acres). If you do not need such "open spaces", then it is better not to overpay for a self-propelled model.
• If self-propelled is your choice, consider the presence of a polypropylene platform that will help reduce weight, and wheels with bearings and low rolling resistance, which will make your work a little easier.
Grass catcher, mulching or grass ejection?
• Many buyers opt for mowers with mulching to bring nutrients back to the lawn and not stop every 10 minutes (literally) to empty the grass box.
• However, sometimes the weather does not allow mowing as usual. That's when side (or rear) ejection becomes useful. In addition, the side discharge will help you move forward when the grass is long, so you can effectively control the cutting process.
• Look for a mower that gives you at least 2 out of XNUMX options.
Cutting width and height
• Inexpensive models in the top lawn mowers have a mowing width of 32-40 cm. This is quite enough for a small plot of 4 acres. The wider the width, the faster you can ennoble the site.
• For a small neat lawn, a sufficient mowing height is 3-4 cm. In the country, you need to leave the greens longer – 7-8 cm. Modern lawn technology allows you to change the mowing height.
Power
• The main parameter when choosing the best lawn mowers of 2023.
- Low-power – up to 1,5 kW. They are chosen for their compactness and maneuverability; for a small area, their capabilities are quite enough.
- Medium power – up to 1,5-2 kW. Cope with grass with a hard and thick stem, but can be heavy for the hand of a teenager or a woman.
- Powerful – more than 2 kW. They are taken for large areas with old and tough vegetation. Noisy, heavy, truly brutal lawn mowers.

• Combined grass catcher (soft bottom, plastic top) for 30 liters, also the lawn mower can throw the cut grass behind itself. Worx WG713E also has a safety button from accidental activation, like more expensive models.

• Although the mulch attachment is not included, it can be purchased separately. And as standard there is a 50 liter grass collector.
• The Husqvarna LC 141C has 10 cutting heights, more than other models in this top 15. The principle of movement is pushing.

• Hyundai LE 4210 is equipped with a large 50 liter grass collector, brushed motor and belt driven blade. Users like this model for its lightness, the ability to adjust the height, which helps a lot in uneven areas, and a strong knife that can even withstand a collision with a stone.

Also on the body there is a handle for easy transfer of the lawn mower from place to place.
• Users praise the AL-KO 112856 Classic for its lightness, cross-country ability, high-quality plastic and confident movement even on uneven surfaces. This lawn mower handles both tender grass and thick weeds. But there are complaints that the height adjustment springs often fly off.

• The lightest and most inexpensive lawn mower in the ranking. It is great for smaller lawns that need to be maintained rather than cleared of tall, thick grass.
