Lawn Mower reviews from Reddit

"We've totally bought in to their system, and have a lawn mower, snowblower, leaf blower, weed whacker, and chainsaw from them, and we're happy with all of them."

"I’ve had my Ego for 10 years now. I need to charge the battery midway to finish my lawn but only for 30 mins or so which is the perfect amount of time to do the edging and blow it all away."

"I went ego. The best advise I got is - torque is more important than Ah of the battery."

"Ego, their battery system is purely designed for yard tools and it shows. Better power and run time."

"Very happy with our EGO mower... I think this is the third season? I sharpen the blades maybe twice a season, the yard takes 1/3 of a charge."

"I bought ego lawnmower and tools from Amazon exactly 5 years ago when the pandemic shutdown restricted even lawn service. Been super happy with them."

"I have the EGO and it's been great. I don't have a huge lawn, but I can mow the front and back, then use the battery with the weed wacker and leaf blower without the battery dying."

"I’ve had an Ego for around 2 years now on a small/medium size yard and I’m very happy with it."

"I vote Ego"

"I spent a lot of time researching this over the winter and went with Ego. It has been a pleasure so far!"

"I've had Ryobi for 7 years, never been especially careful or delicate with it, and it still works great and I'm still using the original batteries."

"I have the RYOBI mower, weed eater and blower they’ve all been great."

"We have the Ryobi. No complaints. It’s a beast! We have a large yard so second battery is a must!"

"Had a ryobi for about 4 years now and I love it. Easy to maintain and light enough my wife can handle it easily"

"My 70 yr old mom just got that ryobi and loves it."

"I have a Ryobi 40V but didn't so the self propelled. I love it."

"I have used Ryobi since their tools were blue and yellow."

"I've been using a Ryobi for the past four years with zero issues."

"I just picked up a Ryobi RY40HPLM02K2 - which is a 21" multi-cut (two blades), rear wheel drive, and adjustable self-propelled system."

"I just nabbed the 80v lawn tractor at home Depot by Ryobi. They are 40% off at most stores. I've cut 3x with it and love it so far....."

"Eventually, I bit the bullet and bought a used Honda HRC216 from a landscaping guy who was retiring. Despite being 8 years old and showing its age, the thing started on the first pull and ran c"

"I’d personally want a super recycler or a Honda."

"If you can swing it, I’d jump at a Honda before they’re gone. It would be the last mower you’ll ever need."

"I would recommend a Honda. Similar price legendary quality and reliability."

"I just got myself a brand new Honda mower. Love that thing."

"Flawless and quiet, first pull every time."

"Honda hrc216 if you can find one."

"I’d go Honda if sticking with gas but I also feel the same way about their cars."

"Go self propelled 4 stroke honda mower."

"Up your budget go Honda for the win."

"A Toro pace master crushes an Ego for comfort and power."

"I got my toro from Home Depot when they were clearing out stock for $150 off. Personal Pace with the Toro is awesome."

"Steel deck was the deciding factor for me though I think Ego has one but it’s a little more pricey. Found my Toro on eBay for a good price."

"Toro 60v has been great. It doesn't get enough attention in this sub. Mine has Personal Pace and is made with a steel deck."

"I had the Toro. It was amazing. Only sold because I moved to a larger plot of land and needed a bigger mower"

"I've had the Toro for about 3 years and I'm very happy with it. It will finish my 1/3 acre flat lot on one charge."

"It must be a Minnesota built Toro. All other answers are weak."

"Used Toro Timemaster for a little more from FB"

"Toro mowers are efficient and easy to maintain."

"Yeah Toro Timemaster is made for your situation exactly."

"Green works is great through Costco, $100 off right now, plus the warranty is far better than other options"

"Have a greenworks for a couple years and it’s been super good. Batteries are keeping well etc etc."

"Greenworks mower and trimmer. 1/2 acre or so. Mows the lawn easily with one battery ( two on board) trimmer compliments well. Third year. No complaints"

"Going on my second year with Greenworks and it’s been great. I have the 80v mower, string trimmer, and blower."

"I've had 3 years of good experiences with my green works 80v."

"I’ve had my green works mower for about 7 years and love it."

"Have had the green works one for 3 years now, battery lasts for front and back yards and very easy to clean and maintain."

"I can vouch for Greenworks. My 40v mower is six or seven years old and the batteries are still going strong."

"I have a Greenworks mower and weed eater, they've been excellent."

"I've loved my little electric lawnmower because it starts right up every time."

"Can't say what the best is but we have had a husqvarna for 3 years now and it's absolutely fantastic"

"A ZTR is definitely the best option here. I’d argue anything from Husqvarna, Toro, Deere, or Kubota with a 60” deck preferably, 54” at minimum."

"I've had no issues with my Husqvarnas on smooth ground."

"Husqvarna is the way to go. They have regular and zero turn."

"Husquvarna."

"If you just want the job done as easily as possible, and you want a gorgeous looking lawn every day, go for a lawn robot."

"The Husqvarna robot mowers have decent reviews and are a great option for lawn care."

"Husqvarna has good electric gear with long lasting batteries."

"Nice petrol mower"

"I'm not convinced about the quality of their stuff and won't buy again. I don't know anything much about greenworks, I'm going Husqvarna for future purchases."

"I love it."

"Purchased a Stihl three years back, and it's been working really well."

"For battery electric, I'd only recommend Stihl or Toro, only because both companies are over 75 years old. Both companies have a large independent parts and service network. There are others, but if you need parts or service in or out of warranty, the last thing you need it to have to travel 50 miles or more for parts or service. The big box for any mower will only replace in the first 30 days. After that, you're looking at being sent to the factory or authorized dealer."

"I've got a Sthil battery mower and weed whacker. The mower can generally finish the yard on one battery in 45 minutes but I have 2 just in case."

"We have a Stihl one, from their big-battery range that’s supposed to be equivalent to commercial gear."

"It’s powerful enough, self"

"Stihl is a top choice for battery-powered mowers."

"I've been super impressed with my 2 x 18v ozito mower. Lots of grunt and goes through everything."

"I have been using this Ozito for a couple of years now."

"I’ve got the Ozito with the telescopic handle. I can’t fault it."

"I just bought the steel base 36v ozito and it's pretty good for the price."

"If only a small area consider an ozito corded mower, pretty good for the price and light weight."

"I've had 2 cordless ozito 18W mowers."

"I also have the 2156SP and would 100% recommend it."

"I like the Ego brand, I have the 2150SP and it works great."

"I have the EGO LM2156SP and I love it. I’m all in on the Ego ecosystem now."

"The current best non-aluminum deck model is the LM2156SP which is an amazing mower."

"The lawnmower is fine but doesn’t cut as cleanly as our ride on."

"The EGO mower has been unreliable with battery issues."

"I got a 36v makita. Uses 2 drill batteries. Performs as well as petrol."

"Makita XML03PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT"

"I went with the makita because I have a bunch of their stuff and wanted to use the same batteries."

"Picked up a Makita 36V unit recently. It's going pretty well."

"Makita 40V"

"Get the dual battery Makita."

"Masport! I a) easy to manaeouvre b.) Starts immediately."

"Go with the Masport with Brigs n Stratton."

"Don't get a battery mower. We went with a Masport with a B&S motor and it is such a beast."

"I’ve had a Masport for 13 years now."

"Decent offering"

"Exmark is a trusted brand for commercial mowers."

"I have a ztr Exmark with a Kohler engine and it's very reliable."

"Get a used exmark or a new one at 0%. They have models for really not bad that just don’t have a hydraulic lift."

"If buying new, avoid big box stores and go to a lawn service dealership that offers Exmark."

"Look for a used Exmark, Scag, or maybe Honda commercial HRX."

"I’d suggest a used Scag V-Ride 2. I’ve used it with a 60” deck… amazing machine!"

"Spend the extra cash and get a Scag."

"Scag mowers are known for their durability."

"Currently checking out SCAG, Wright, and Ferris. 72” deck."

"Scag is expensive and may not be worth the investment."

"I have a Craftsman V20 and love it."

"I'd buy a nice used craftsman for $150. I use one that's been in my family for 25 years -DAILY for business."

"We have the Craftsman mower and trimmer. I like them both and mowed my quarter acre lot a couple times with a single charge."

"Get commercial quality mower from a dealer who services what they sell."

"They don't make the Craftsman V60 anymore, I owned it and the batteries lasted long enough to go out of warranty, no replacements made."

"The electric mower I use is a Kobalt back from the days of Masters so it's been going 7+ years now."

"We have a smaller sized yard and got an kobalt electric."

"It was affordable, has worked well, all-in-all, and I have no real complaints."

"We have the Kobalt electric. It works well, but we are looking at new batteries after like 5 years."

"I don't think the kobalt gets a lot of love and only bought it because Lowe's is the only store within 100 miles of me."

"Bought a Victa with a Briggs and Stratton motor back in 2010."

"Can't go wrong with a Victa."

"My Victa has done really well over many years now."

"I’ve never paid more than $25 for a lawnmower. I’m on my second tip shop Victa in about 15years."

"S170 or s240 Jd"

"The X350 is probably the most common, buy one with the Kawasaki engine."

"I have a John Deere X350, with the 18hp motor."

"Would a John Deere S120 42inch work you think?"

"I bought the Milwaukee. All my other stuff is Milwaukee and the unit has been awesome."

"If you have milwaukee tools I would go with that mower love mine, the battery's also go in all other tools."

"Best? Milwaukee."

"Overpriced push mower"

"Just spend $100 - $150 on a good second hand petrol mower. Service it every 12 months and you’ll be good for years to come."

"Keep the services up and you'll get years out of them."

"Discredit"

"Died"

"Top electric lawn mowers EGO Power+ Select Cut LM2135SP"

"I got the EGO Power+ select cut LM2135SP and it’s been solid."

"EGo+ are best, but all are good at their price level"

"I have a Dewalt mower, got it for convenience sake since the batteries are interchangeable with my other dewalt power tools."

"Not on the list, I have Dewalt mover that works very well, also have their trimmer and blower."

"DeWalt has a deal at home Depot for just a bit over $800."

"For gas, I would go Ariens Razor or Toro Recycler."

"High-end and will last you well over 20 years with proper maintenance"

"Ferris ..100% You will not go wrong."

"Ferris mowers are reliable and get the job done."

"I would second a Bosch Rotak. Had mine a couple of years and it’s a great value electric mower."

"Bosch rotak. Have had mine for about 14 years. Excellent"

"Dealer over the big box stores."

"Deere is a well-respected name in the industry."

"Get a zero turn. They are so much easier to use even if there is not much to maneuver around."

"Because a Zero Turn will cut it in half the time."

"The 140 cc never bogged down, the Briggs starts on 1st pull."

"Briggs and Stratton makes good engines, as does Honda."

"If you are only using this thing to mow and must ride why not consider a zero turn?"

"Still going strong with yearly maintenance."

"Snapper 82V self-propelled Lithium product line is probably better than the rest."

"Snapper XD 82V MAX Electric Cordless Mower"

"The Worx Nitro series are underrated mowers that don't get enough attention. Both their 40v and 80v series are great."

"I've got an entry level Worx cordless mower. Any of the small cordless mowers would probably do you."

"Hustler Z or super Z, Kawasaki engine."

"I bought the ION Rush Mower off amazon about 2 years ago for $250, its super light and batteries last super long."

"I LOVE my Bunnings corded mower - the bigger one of the two options"

"I’d recommend a Honda commercial mower. We had one for 20 years that was a beast before it was stolen."

"I bought a Rover self-propelled (B+S motor) mower years ago for $300."

"I would recommend you seriously consider a cordless mower in the same brand as the cordless tools you already own."

"I would HIGHLY recommend getting a commercial mower."

"Costco has an electric mower for around $500."

"For $500 you can buy a robot mower."

"Can I suggest getting a low cost robot mower like the Gardena sileno, the Husqvarna automower or the MoeBot?"

"Most riding mowers should be able to handle a 1 acre yard."

"I just switched from battery to petrol... for lazy old me I needed the extra power from a petrol."

"I had a bigger section and used an electric lawnmower, best investment was a second battery."
