Best lawn mower on Reddit

"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."

"Go self propelled 4 stroke honda mower."

"Why not get a well looked after Honda? It will outlast you easy."

"I have a nothing fancy Honda self-propelled."

"Regarded as the best high-end mowers"

"I have an Ego mower & love it."

"Love my Ego."

"EGO is the current king of battery mowers."

"Ego makes a really great electric mower. They also have a good warranty that they honor."

"If you want electric, EGO is one of the best."

"Love my Ego electric. It's so much cleaner and quieter than my previous Toro."

"The ego mower is great! I have one and love it :)"

"For electric garden tools, EGO is pretty much the best."

"In terms of battery mowers, ego power+ mowers are the best."

"I’d go with battery. Ego brand is quite good."

"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."

"Uses an actual spin-on oil filter"

"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."

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

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

"Going with a Toro (without the Personal Pace option)"

"Great units"

"I got the 36 volt Ryobi. Can't complain. I got about 200 sqm of lawn and no issues."

"This thing works incredibly well and leaves the lawn looking neat and well kept."

"Lightweight and efficient for small areas, easily handles 300m² on a single battery."

"They work great for our 80x80 lot!"

"I just got a Riyobi push mower and it’s awesome."

"Definitely go battery, I absolutely love my ryobi mower."

"They're great. As long as you have more than one battery. It's so nice, very quiet, no gas smell .. nothing. Sometimes it overheats but it only happened to me once and I live in Florida."

"I’ve got a 36V Ryobi mower, and I mow every 2 weeks in summer."

"I'd suggest any 36v lawnmower would be ok. Probably a ryobi."

"Does a job good."

"Go with a greenworks you won’t be stuck then waiting for a Home Depot sale."

"Got my greenworks 80 volt from Costco a couple years ago. Love it."

"I'm very impressed. It does a great job."

"Served me well in the last few years"

"With battery"

"Battery operated. I've had Greenworks 40V for many years."

"Something 80v. Greenworks, ego, 80v is what's important."

"We were pretty impressed with the battery life and the tools themselves."

"Works pretty well for our smallish yard."

"Greenworks battery powered with matching weedeater."

"Get a battery powered mulching lawnmower like the Ego self-propelled select cut."

"I personally have the LM2101 from ego and it's perfect for my backyard."

"A money is no object choice for me would be the $1200 LM2206SP."

"It’s way way waaaay lighter, feels more powerful, quieter."

"You won’t need to worry about gas going bad."

"The newest with the most power is LM2167SP."

"It’s performed flawlessly."

"The 'best' non aluminum one is probably the LM2160sp."

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

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

"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."

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

"Highly recommend the makita combo kit from mitre 10."

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

"Makita 40V"

"I finally got a Makita 18V x2 one that came with a couple of 5Ah batteries."

"So far I've narrowed down my options to either: Makita Kit or the Ego Kit."

"Get the dual battery Makita."

"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."

"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’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."

"Maybe a 30-32" push mower like a Scag SFC-30."

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

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

"Get a Cub Cadet sit down tractor mower. A used one should work fine."

"I’m recommending [this](https://www.cubcadet.com/en_US/zero-turn-mowers/zt1-50/17AIEACLA10.html?srsltid=AfmBOor3bj8kXM2tTz_VuUkL13Qh0HuSRGMlfxuKcdZ60lv0VpGl6UUgvFc)"

"I have a similar sized lawn and went with a (used) Cub Cadet CC 800 and I'm super happy with it."

"Still going strong with yearly maintenance."

"Club Cadet is a decent brand for lawn tractors."

"A quality lawn tractor with snowblower attachment. Maybe a 300 series John Deere."

"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?"

"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."

"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."

"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"

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

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

"Ariens ikon hd52 takes care of my 4.5 just fine. Fabricated deck is superior to other similar price/tier machines."

"Dealer over the big box stores."

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

"Used, Deere or Huskvana."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Great performance after adjusting the mowing width!"

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

"Starts every time and on the first press of a button."

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

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

"Honda self propelled lawn mowers are the most reliable, followed closely by Masport."

"Honda 216/217 or a Masport. I used to Have a masport 6000. It was terrific."

"I have a Husqvarna 52" deck zero turn mower with a Kawasaki motor."

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

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

"I would HIGHLY recommend getting a commercial mower."

"I have 2 acres and if I could do it again I would skip the zero turn purchase and buy a tractor with a belly mower."

"Hustler Z or super Z, Kawasaki engine."

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

"My Orzito is better."

"A kubota tractor."

"Yazoo zero turn."

"Gravely hd"

"Grasshopper."

"I have an AEG 18v. I bought it because I have a lot of tools that use the same battery's..."

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

"I really like this one, cuts nicely and collects all the trimmings."

"So, it was natural to buy the DeWalt 60 volt mower because it's compatible with some of her tools."

"I would recommend one that is close to you from a reputable company."

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

"A reel mower works well, costs a fraction of a battery mower."

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

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

"Lot of people saying TimeMaster. I have one and the main complaint I have is the .3gal fuel capacity."

"Would hate to think of how tedious it would get with something cheaper."

"I do *not* recommend the Bosch battery powered CityMower."
