Worx WG500 Review

Electric Leaf Blower  7.5/10 An effective leaf blower, vacuum, and mulcher, this Worx model is ideal for the average size yard. With blow speeds as high as 210 mph, it can handle even wet leaves and debris pretty well. As with most electric blowers, you need a long extension cord to reach all the areas […]

Black & Decker LH4500 Review

Electric Leaf Blower  8/10 A powerful leaf blower, vacuum, and mulcher, this Black & Decker electric blower effectively mulches leaves, twigs, and other yard debris and collects it in a zippered leaf bag. The two speeds provide you enough control to blast away wet leaves or carefully clear leaves from a flower bed. Lightweight and […]

Toro 51585 Review

Electric Leaf Blower  8/10 An efficient tool for clearing sidewalks, driveways, and patios, the Toro 2-speed electric blower has a low speed of 130 mph and a maximum speed of 160 mph. That’s more than sufficient power to blow away most leaves and debris. At only 4.6 pounds, it’s also incredibly easy to wield. The […]

Earthwise 60120 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  8/10 By Steve Holdgren If you’re looking for an electric mower that doesn’t release stinky gas fumes but isn’t encumbered by a power cord, then the Earthwise 60120 is an environmentally friendly solution. Effective at mulching, bagging, or discharging clippings, the mower adjusts from 1.75″ to 3.75″ with a single lever. […]

Greenworks 25022 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  7.5/10 By Steve Holdgren Ideally suited for small properties, this Greenworks electric mower handles grass and leaves quite well. It’s perhaps not powerful enough to cut through thick or tall grass quickly, but it still works its way through it. We liked having a single lever for adjusting the height to […]

Toro 20332 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  8/10 By Steve Holdgren For the moderate price of $489.99, the Toro 20332 is an efficient self-propelled mower that also lets you work at your own pace by pushing the mower faster when it’s convenient. Switching from bagging to mulching is as simple as pushing a lever. The 8-inch rear wheels […]

Snapper SPVH21675 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  8/10 By Steve Holdgren For the price of $449, this Snapper self-propelled gas mower offers great value. A unique feature is the fresh start system, an insert in the gas cap that drips a fuel preservative into the tank. This feature keeps the gas stabilized over an extended time, and you […]

Honda HRX2172VKA Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  9/10 By Steve Holdgren At $699, this Honda self-propelled mower is expensive, but as they say, you get what you pay for. With this machine, that includes a 4-in-1 cutting system that efficiently mulches, bags, and discharges clippings and shreds leaves. The rear bag’s capacity is adequately large at 2.5 bushels, […]

Craftsman 37436 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  8/10 By Steve Holdgren A sturdy self-propelled gas mower from Craftsman, this machine effectively mulches, bags, or discharges clippings. The rear wheel drive provides better traction than front wheel. We were satisfied with the spring-loaded height adjustment system, which makes changing the height of each wheel a simple process. While this […]

Black & Decker CM1936 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  8.5/10 By Steve Holdgren A powerful motor and effective mulching capabilities make this Black & Decker cordless electric mower stand out. The simultaneously adjustable wheels are a nice feature, letting you switch to a new height in a matter of seconds. While battery-operated mowers don’t typically have the range of mobility […]

Toro 20360 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  8/10 By Steve Holdgren An electric push mower for the environmentally conscious, the Toro 20360 has the advantage of being cordless, giving you greater mobility. The rechargeable battery plugs into the wall and takes 12 to 16 hours to full charge, as indicated by the LED display. With a 4-inch-deep deck, […]

Black & Decker LM175 Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  8/10 By Steve Holdgren At just 35 pounds and $139, this Black & Decker electric mower has a powerful 6.5-amp engine and is no heavier to push or maneuver than a vacuum cleaner. In fact, it resembles a vacuum cleaner in that you have a long power cord, which may or […]

Best Push Mowers

Top 10 Rated Push/Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers By Steve Holdgren While most lawn mowers can handle flat, even terrains, the trick is to find a high-powered lawn mower that still works well when the lawn is large and hilly and containing trees, rocks, and roots. We looked at a number of lawn mowers to see how […]

Snapper 150Z ZT2142 Review

Riding Lawnmower  8/10 As a zero-turn ride mower, this Snapper model leaves no grass uncut when it makes its sharp turns, so you don’t have to overlap your cutting paths. It runs quickly and maneuvers around obstacles like trees and rocks with quickly responding controls. Suitable for up to two acres of land with moderate […]

Weed Eater WE-ONE Review

Riding Lawnmower  7/10 For small, flat yards, the Weed Eater WE-ONE will get the job done faster than a walk-behind mower. Its 190 cc engine demonstrates a great cutting performance, and three forward speeds with a cruise control feature let you work at your own pace. A compact, narrow machine, it’s easy to store. While […]
