Things to consider before you buy

The first decision you'll need to make is how you will mow your yard: Will you walk or ride your mower? Consumer Reports suggests that if your lawn is greater than a half-acre (a lot approximately 220 feet by 100 feet), you should consider a riding mower. If your lot is smaller but you really like to ride, you're still allowed to buy a riding mower; just be prepared for eye-rolling looks from your neighbours.

Otherwise, consider a walking mower. You can choose between a motor-powered or man-powered lawn mower; gas or electric; battery or corded; self-propelled or push; and more.

Before you get to cutting, you'll also want to determine what you want to do with the grass clippings. Are you a bagger who collects your clippings? A mulcher who wants a machine that chops the cut blades of grass into tiny confetti bits that fall to the ground and nourish the lawn? A side-discharger, who'd like the clippings blown out of the side of the mower to remain where they fall?

Terrain and Slopes

And finally, consider the terrain you're cutting. A 15-degree slope is roughly the maximum angle you can cut safely. But remember, if your lawn does have a lot of slopes, you might not want to be lugging a behemoth mower up and down it. So, what's the best lawn mower for your needs? Read on for further details about each type.

Cord vs Cordless

People who are concerned about pollution often opt for an electric lawn mower. Effortless to start and maintain, many models run quietly and offer mulch, bag, and side-discharge options. There are some disadvantages to this type of mower though, the primary being the awkwardness of wrestling with the cord — and trying not to cut it. This type of electric mower is cord-free, operating from a battery enclosed in the housing. Less cumbersome than corded models, these mowers can start at the flip of a switch and just need to be plugged in to recharge.

Electric battery mowers are also emission-free at point-of-use. The downsides here are that, for many models, the recharge time can be close to a full day, and the battery is heavy, making the mower more cumbersome to push.

Electric vs Fuel

There is a lot to be said for the modern gas-powered mowers. They are efficient, powerful, durable, and dependable when properly maintained. Most gas lawn mowers are powerful enough to cut yards that have been allowed to grow a bit beyond ideal, so don't be sucked into a horsepower competition with your neighbours.

Instead, look for a lawn mower that has side-discharge, bagging, and mulching options included, not as additional purchases. A washout port (the place to screw in a hose and wash out the cutting chamber after you mow) is also a useful feature, along with a blade brake (which allows you to empty the clippings bag without stopping the mower). Plus, padded grips help avoid numb hands.

Self Propelled Support

If you don't fancy shoving a heavy mower around your lawn all day, you might consider investing in a self-propelled version of the walking mower. It harnesses the power of the mower to pull itself along the yard and vastly reduces the amount of work necessary to manicure the grass.
