The Best Lawn Mower 2020

1. Honda HRR216K9VKA 160cc Lawn Mower

This Honda lawn mower is a really great option for those of you who require a dependable gas lawn mower for their home garden. This is one is equipped with a strong and durable Honda machine that offers supreme performance with its super powerful engine.

The Honda HRR lawn mower is a great durable lawn mover overall and has the most required features you need for a lawn mower. You get 6 different grass cutting levels, unlike other mowers who have less. What is so great about this lawn mower is that it comes with a larger than normal discharge bag (2.4 bushels) that helps you gather more grass in one go. However, the negative thing we found about this lawn mower is kinda noisy, which is its largest drawback. It creates noise levels of about 98.5 dB which is pretty loud. Good if you want to disturb your neighbours tho. So, don’t go using this mower at night.

You also need to be really careful about cleaning this mower, since you don’t get a washing tool or port. Furthermore, along with adjusting the grass cutting levels, you get to adjust the wheels, although each wheel separately.

Main Features Micro-cut Twinblades

Self Propelled

Auto Choke

Large Bag included

Foam grip handles

8 inch ballbearing wheels

Variable speed

The handle that you use to push the mower is easy to hold and move. You are saved from all kinds of jerks and vibrations thanks to its soft handle. Even if you are not an adult who is strong you will have absolutely no difficulty using it.

Pros Easy to handle and operate

However, you don’t get a push start option so you have to use a pull string and apply some effort. It has 6 different cutting levels that enable you to adjust the grass height between 1.25 and 3.75 inches. However, the Craftsman mower comes with a tiny discharge bag which has 1.9 bushels of space, so you can imagine yourself emptying it out a lot. Moreover, the tiny bag does not hold all the grass, so you get involuntary mulching.

One of the strongest points of this mower is that it is easy to handle. Even when you change direction or adjust the speed, the mowing quality is not affected. The mower doesn’t make much noise for a gas lawn mower and it does not vibrate violently. It comes with a washout port so you can clean it with ease.

Since this mower is electric, it barely makes any noise. You could practically talk on the phone while operating this and you wouldn’t have a problem.

You get a great self-propulsion mower that is also good at mulching – a feature you will not find in mowers in this price bracket. However, mulching cannot be adjusted, so you either take all the grass in or let some fall off as it is supposed to.

Thanks to its front-wheel-drive feature, the mower is very easy to handle. Furthermore, it is also very easy to clean thanks to a wash-out port that enables you to expertly clean the mower. You will also love the speed control feature that enables you to manage to mow at your own leisurely pace. The bad things we found is the questionable quality of the engine. There is a lot of reports about the engine is dying pretty fast and we would like to see a better overall quality for the price.

Lawn Mower Buying Guide

A properly chosen mower will be doing a good job for your lawn for years. Even if you are sure about the yard size and your physical condition, you need to know what parts and features they consist of and which of them are better for your needs. Consider a few things that you might want your lawn mower to possess:

Things to consider before purchasing a lawn mower

Automatic Push Start

Lawnmowers made for homes usually don’t have an electric start button. That’s the biggest drawback of any traditional lawn mower, but now companies have started making machines that are small and built for home use and they still have an electric start button. So, no more pulling strings repeatedly to give life to the mower’s engine. Moreover, a lawn mower with electric start is quiet and easy to handle, hence they are the perfect choice for all first-timers.

Check if the batteries are included

Not all lawn mowers have a battery but electric mowers do. They are known to be eco-friendly and silent, unlike their gas-run counterparts. You have a choice of two kinds of mowers: cordless and with a cord. A Cord mower needs an electric socket to function, so you will be connected to a socket at all times and your distance will be limited to 100 feet. Cordless mowers, on the other hand, have batteries in them which can be charged, Once you charge the batteries you can use the mower until all their juice runs out. Cordless models are not limited to a certain distance like cord models and even though their battery lasts for only an hour or more, you would be able to mow the lawn with ease. However, you have t keep in touch with the batteries life. Batteries have to be replaced after some time so keep that in mind at all times when you go buying an electric lawn mower.

One-Lever vs Multiple Levers

Lawnmowers have adjustable blades. While some have six others have 7 and some have 4 levels of height adjustment. Usually, this height is adjusted using a single lever that makes life easier. However, there are some mowers that have 4 separate levers for each wheel, in which case you have to adjust each one separately. Not only does one lever save time and effort, but it is also easy to use.

Attention to Safety

Push mowers are the most commonly bought lawn mowers and that is because they are easy to use. They have a safety mechanism called a blade-brake clutch system that protects you from any untoward incident. When you pull the clutch, the blades start to spin and the grass is cut. If you let go off the clutch you will deactivate the blades and the blades will stop moving even though the engine is powered up. This feature also lets you collect garbage and trash on the lawn like cans, paper, stick and other debris. This way your blades are not damaged and you get to keep the engine powered on for further use.

Adjustable Speed

Mowing is not done at one speed, sometimes you have to adjust the speed depending on the grass’s thickness. However, some mowers do not have the option of speed adjustment. Speed adjustment can come in handy if you want to finish off a large yard in a short time, or if you are old and you are unable to keep up with the speed of the mower. It is also perfect for all the youngsters and first-timers, so they can adjust with the speed and enjoy their experience. Having a lawn mower without this feature is a drawback in today’s world.

Ease of Cleaning

All lawn mowers need to be cleaned and washed out properly before you use them for the next time. For this reason, some mowers come with a wash-out port. A wash-out port lets you clean the deck thoroughly. Some models even have a washing tool which you can use otherwise, you can simply use a hose and water to rinse off any residue grass or dirt from the deck. It is advisable to do this action right after you are done mowing since at that time the blades and the deck are wet and easy to clean.

Uniform Wheel Sizes

Lawn Mowers have different wheel settings and wheel sizes. Some mowers have larger rear wheels and smaller front wheels – which is done to create an angle – and some mowers have equal sized wheels. If all the wheels are same, you can adjust them using the wheel height adjustment levers and make the lawn mower suitable for almost all the terrain. They are easier to handle and easier to replace when one gets destroyed.

Top Selling Brands

There are literally hundreds of brands in the market that sell lawn mowers. However, some have made a name for themselves over the years. Brands like Honda, Craftsman, Toro, and Husqvarna are dependable home brands that people use and trust all around the world. Before looking at any other brands, have a look at the more famous ones to get an idea of the market.

How To Choose The Best Lawn Mower

When you have made up your mind about buying a lawn mower, it is time to consider some important aspects that are often overlooked when you are buying a lawnmower. People tend to go for the most expensive or the best-selling mower on the market but that trend is not helpful for you. You need to consider your needs such as your yard’s size or your health and your budget. Here are a few more things to think about before making the important decision.

The type of lawn mower you need

The first thing you should consider before purchasing a lawn mower is what type of a lawn mower you want and need. The most common lawn mowers are gas powered, electric, riding and manual mowers. If you want to find more information about them you can check further down in the article.

Consider The Area You Will Be Mowing

A Yards come in all shapes and sizes. There are those with slopes and there are those that are flat. No one lawn mower is perfect for all. Measure the size of your yard and then look at the lawn mowers specifications. Buy it if it covers your entire yard space.

For instance, if your lawn is smaller than half an acre you should be going for reel mowers that are perfect for this kind of job. These mowers use a few blades and do not require any gasoline, oil or electricity. However, they do need your muscle to work, since they don’t have an engine. On the other hand, a gas-powered mower or an electric push lawn mower will do the trick for you if you are reluctant to put in your own strength to push.

If your yard is huge i.e it is almost an acre big, then walk-behind lawn mowers are an excellent choice. Lawnmowers with small mower decks and a 20-inch cutting width can allow you to cover all the distance pretty easily. However, you could easily go for larger mowers with a large cutting width.

If your yard is bigger than ¾ acres, your best choice should be a rear-engine riding mower. You can sit on it and maneuver through the fields cutting grass to your utter pleasure. You can see everything so you can steer through the obstacles with ease. It is best to go for a mower with a large deck like 30 to 42 inches, so you can cover more area at a time and a mower with a 15-20 hp.

If you have a mammoth-sized yard sized, you need to look at a zero-turn lawn mower that has a cutting deck of 40 inches or more. This way you can cut along in a straight line and cover all the area quickly. This moving mower cuts grass seamlessly and perfectly so in order to keep up with its speed you should look to get one with a large engine such as one with 12-15 hp.

If you have an even bigger yard, you can expand the cutting deck and get one with a 44- to 60-inch cutting deck, MOreover, get a larger engine to support your operations, such as the one with more than 18 hp.

Moreover, corded electric mowers could work as well if you are considering small to medium sized yards. No need for gasoline or oil, all you would need is a power socket and the will to mow the lawn and your machine will do the work for you. However, do not buy a corded mower if you have to maneuver a lot in the yard as handling a corded power can be difficult. Walk-behind self-propelled mowers or walk-behind gas mowers are more powerful land could be considered in place of an electric one.

Consider the Type of Ground You Have

After you have considered your yard’s size, you need to consider its terrain. Some yards are flat all over but some have slopes and uneven terrain. Not all lawn mowers will work in a diverse yard. If your yard is flat, a walk-behind lawn mower should work fine. Keep in mind that mowing flat surfaces are a lot easier than mowing slopes. Walk-behind mowers are also cheap and easy to handle.

However, if your lawn has frequent slopes, it is advisable to choose a self-propelled walk-behind mower. Running a mower up and down a slope is not easy. You are required to put a lot of energy and thus having a self-propelled mower can cut out the work for you. All you have to do is hold it and steer it for direction. A mower has a rating that determines how well it will do on a slope. get one which has a high rating.

It should be kept in mind though, that mowing slopes can be dangerous as mowers are not specifically built for that purpose. Their engines are focused more towards cutting grass than moving the mower itself. Therefore, go for the safest way which is to mow from down going up.

The size of the terrain also determines the width of the deck. A rough terrain would require a large deck width in order to cover most of the terrain. If you have a large garden with no trees and bushes, you can opt for a deck width exceeding 44 inches. This way you can cover more area and cut the grass evenly. If you have a tight space in your garden then reduce the deck width to 28-30 inches to get the best effort out of the mower.

If you want even more facility, you could go for any of the best riding mowers on the market. They will mow grass on slopes and uneven terrain with ease. All you need to do is sit and enjoy the ride. However, you would have to pay a fortune to buy one.

The price & recent reviews

Another thing you should consider is how much money you want to effort on a lawnmower. There are a lot of basic ones out there which will fulfill the need of the most of us, while some need better quality and more functions. By checking the price, we can often tell the quality of the lawn mower. You will most likely not get a quality lawn mower for a low price. You do often get what you pay for. A smart tip from me is to check the reviews on Amazon if you enter the product links, there you will find reviews from recent customers of the product. You will also find criticized reviews on the best and most high-quality products.

The Different Types of Lawn Mowers

There are a lot of different types of lawn mowers on the market. We have mentioned the most common lawn mowers down below and wrote a small description of each of these

Electric Corded or Cordless Mowers

The electric lawn mower is a great environment-friendly alternative to gasoline or oil lawn mowers. This means you don’t get to smell the stench of gas when you run it and you don’t pollute the air with its emissions. Moreover, you will save money by not spending it on fuel and maintenance. Electric mowers are able to work on long and thick grass because the electric motors are often pretty strong. There are two types: corded and cordless. Corded models need direct electricity with a power wire connected to work. Cordless models, on the other hand, work with the help batteries. You need to charge these batteries every time before you decide to mow the lawn. Charging time varies from battery to battery but usually an hour or two is enough to charge most batteries.

The batteries dispense power that moves the blades to cut the grass. But they are not self-propelled, meaning you have to push them with your hands to make them move forward. If you want help, you can look for a self-propelled electric mower.

You do often get a grass discharge bag at one end which holds all the grass cuttings, You can either keep all the grass inside the bag or use the method mulching and leave some behind.

Manual electric mowers are great for small-sized yards that are smaller than half an acre. They work best with cold-climate grass. This grass grows slowly and is easy to cut. So, if you are environment savvy and still want to cut grass while putting in less effort, these mowers are for you.

Robotic Lawn mowers

The newest and most recent technology has brought us the robotic lawn mower. These ones you do often just program the route it will take and cut your grass. However, there are both pros and cons about this. The pros are that you will always have a great length of your grass and you do only have to program it once and it will do all the job for you with the help of a GPS. The cons are that if your grass has been too long already, you do most likely have to cut it with a normal lawn mower the first time before.

These lawn mowers can often not function properly at uneven surfaces with a lot of rocks and other steep hills. You have to consider this before purchasing one and checking your yard. The other con about these is that they are not cheap at all. You do most often have to spend over 1000$ to get a decent quality robot lawn mower

Pushed/Self-Propelled Gas Mowers

Walk-behind lawn mowers are tailor-made for small yards especially if they do not have the self-propulsion feature. You can get one that works on gas, electricity or manual. Gas and electricity mowers power the blades, so all you have to do is push the mower in a certain direction for it to cut grass. Manual walk-behind mowers require your power for movement and for cutting, so they are generally pretty hard to operate.

The majority of walk-behind lawn mowers have rotary blades that cut the grass. They are better than electric mowers as they are more powerful and can cut grass better than any other.

Walk-behind mowers mow the lawn using a scissor-like blade. This is healthier for the grass and better for its long life. Unlike self-propelled machines, walk-behind push mowers are light-weight and easy to maneuver on uneven terrains. But, they can be difficult to handle and so they are thought to be not user-friendly.

Walk-behind mowers have grass discharge bags that are compatible with mulching, which means you can collect all the grass or leave some back for it to grow back on the lawn.

Riding Lawn Mowers

Ride-on mowers are fast and can cut a large area in a short time. You can sit on it and mow the grass. Traditionally, there are two types of ride-on mowers: lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. Both have their own special functions but one is better than the other ins certain applications. Lawn tractors have the cutting deck below them and the engine is located on the front. When you see a cutting deck on the front end it means you have a zero-turn lawn mower. You can turn easily in them and cut the grass sharply in every direction. You can use the steering to steer past trees and bushes if they come in your way that is why these mowers are best for large spaces like land which is 3 to 4 acres big. With the help of foot pedals and levers, you can control your mowing and your ride.

A ride-on mower can be perilous so you need to be extra careful when operating it. Go for models that have an automatic engine shut-off switch that switches off the engine when you leave your seat.

Manual Reel Lawn Mowers

This is probably the lawn mower known as an old-style mower. Having a well-kept yard is everyone’s dream. It really brings out the beauty of your house. You could use reel mowers for that purpose. It is probably the one most commonly found in houses because it is extremely cheap. There is no engine or need of gas neither do you need a power socket to charge it. All you need is your own body’s strength to push it over the field.

Manual reel mowers have the accolade of being the first lawn mowers. They came out after gardeners became sick of cutting grass using scissors and blades. It was entirely impractical to cut grass on a large scale. Even though modern mowers have come in the market, reel mowers are still available.

As mentioned above, these mowers require your brute physical strength. The amount of strength you need to apply depends on the terrain you are looking to push the mower on. If it is a flat terrain you will be able to move the mower with ease, however, if you are facing a slope or a hilly terrain then more power will need to be applied to push the mower and make the blades work. Therefore, it is better to keep their blades sharp so they cut through easily.

In terms of their construction, reel mowers are very simple and ordinary. They are made up of many moving parts. The majority of reel mowers have two primary wheels that are fixed to rollers or small secondary wheels. The primary wheels are required to create motion, while the secondary wheels are there to create balance. This way the blades inside the roller move and cut faster.

However, manual reel mowers are not built for large yards. If you are looking to mow a yard which is up to an acre or half, this mower will be a nightmare to use. Furthermore, reel mowers will work best if you regularly cut grass since if the grass becomes too big and tall you will not be able to cut it with the reel mower. If you only cut the grass once a month or more, reel mowers are not the preferred gardening tool for you.

In essence, manual reel mowers are best for small and flat lawns that have practically very little or no slopes on them.
