The 5 Best Electric Lawn Mowers of 2020
Updated April 19, 2020
Electric lawn mowers are necessary tools for any home with a lawn. However, not all electric lawn mowers are the same. Before moving on to the important specifications of the 5 best electric lawn mowers of 2020, we will explain some key features of electric lawn mowers.
Type - battery-powered electric lawn mowers use a rechargeable battery, while corded electric lawn mowers plug in to an AC electrical outlet; some corded electric lawn mowers do not include a power cord and therefore require you to purchase the power cord separately
Motor Amperage - the current draw of the electric motor of the electric lawn mower; this is somewhat indicative of the power of the electric motor (e.g., similar to the horsepower of a gasoline engine)
Cutting Width - the width of the path that is cut on a single path; for mowers with a single blade, this is the length of the blade; for electric lawn mowers with dual blades like the Greenworks 25302, the cutting width is determined by the distance between the outermost cutting positions of the blades
Battery Capacity - the capacity of the battery (or batteries if multiple are included) in Amp hours (Ah); more is better
Runtime - the total time that the electric lawn mower will operate using the battery or batteries included with the unit
Charge Time - the total time required to charge the battery or batteries included with the electric lawn mower
Bag Capacity - the volume of the bag included with the electric lawn mower
Mulches - the ability to mulch the material being mowed
Height Adjustments - the number of mowing heights offered by the electric lawn mower
Weight - the weight of the electric lawn mower itself (not the shipping weight including the box and packaging material as some sites use)
