Loved in the USA

The EGO POWER+ LM2101 is a cordless electric lawn mower designed for homeowners needing a lightweight and easy-to-use mower for small to medium lawns. Its 21-inch cutting width offers a good balance between coverage and maneuverability in tighter spaces. The mower runs on a 56V 5.0Ah battery, providing up to 45 minutes of runtime on a single charge, which should be sufficient for most average yards. It’s compatible with all EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries, giving flexibility if you already own other EGO tools.

Adjusting the cutting height is simple, with six settings ranging from 1.5 to 4 inches, controlled with one hand, which helps tailor the cut to your lawn's needs. The mower also offers versatile grass management: you can mulch, side discharge, or collect clippings in the included two-bushel bag, making clean-up easier and more convenient.

Weighing about 55 pounds, it is on the heavier side for a push mower but features an adjustable and foldable handle, improving storage and transport. The push-button start and bright LED headlights add to its user-friendly design, while IPX4 weather resistance means it can handle light rain without issues. Maintenance is simpler compared to gas mowers since there’s no need for oil changes or fuel. The plastic body, while lightweight, may feel less durable over time. This mower is well suited for homeowners looking for a reliable, battery-powered option that balances performance and convenience, especially if you want to avoid gas-powered noise and maintenance hassles.

The Greenworks 40V 16" Cordless Lawn Mower is a solid choice for small to medium-sized lawns up to ½ acre. One of its strengths is its convenience and ease of use, thanks to the cordless design and push button start. The 40V 4.0Ah battery offers up to 45 minutes of runtime, which should be sufficient for smaller lawns, and it fully charges in a reasonable 120 minutes. The lightweight design, at 37.5 pounds, makes it easy to maneuver, which is great for users who may not want the heaviness of traditional gas mowers.

The 16-inch cutting width is suitable for smaller yards, and the mower includes a 5-position height adjustment (1-1/4" to 3-3/8") to handle different grass lengths and types effectively. Another notable feature is the 2-in-1 grass management option, which allows for both mulching and rear bagging. This adds versatility depending on your lawn care preferences. Additionally, the mower is virtually maintenance-free with no need for gas or oil, and it operates quietly without emissions, making it environmentally friendly.

This mower may not be ideal for larger lawns due to its limited battery life and smaller cutting width. Users with larger properties may find the battery runtime insufficient and may need additional batteries to complete the job in one go. Also, the plastic construction might not be as durable as metal alternatives. In conclusion, this mower is best suited for environmentally conscious homeowners with small to medium-sized yards who value ease of use and low maintenance.

The Greenworks 60V 21” Cordless Lawn Mower is a solid choice for small to medium-sized lawns, offering the convenience of cordless operation without sacrificing power. With a 21-inch cutting width, it covers ground efficiently, making it suitable for yards up to 1/2 acre. The included 5.0Ah battery provides up to 60 minutes of run-time, which is generally sufficient for most small lawns, and the dual port auto switch feature allows for continuous mowing with an additional battery (sold separately).

The mower generates 50% more power than 40V systems and operates with 60% less noise compared to traditional gas mowers, making it a quieter, eco-friendly option with fewer emissions and no fumes. Its IPX 4 waterproof rating ensures durability even in tough weather conditions. However, at 59.5 pounds, it may be heavier than some other models, which could affect maneuverability for some users.

The mower features five cutting height adjustments, providing flexibility to achieve the desired lawn height. Maintenance is relatively low thanks to its electric power source, eliminating the need for oil changes or fuel storage. Potential users should consider the initial investment in additional batteries for extended run-time and the weight if easy maneuverability is a priority.
