Amazon's top-rated lawn mowers are battery-electric for the second year running, and none of them burn gas
EGO, Greenworks and Worx lead a list that shopper reviews built, while fuel prices rise and noise and emissions rules tighten.
Electric mowers top Amazon again
The highest-rated lawn mowers on Amazon for the second year in a row are battery-electric and burn no gas [1]. If you mow a lawn, that result covers the machine you are most likely to buy next.
The Amazon list considered mowers with at least 2,000 reviews and a four-star average or higher [1]. Battery-electric mowers from EGO Power, Greenworks, and Worx were among the top-rated mowers regardless of fuel type [1].
The mowers on the list
The EGO LM2112 offers up to 35 minutes of runtime from its included 56V 4.0 Ah li-ion battery [1]. The Greenworks 40V 16-inch push mower has a 4.2-star rating after more than 12,000 verified reviews [1].
The WORX WG743 40V 17-inch mower uses a pair of 20V 4.0 Ah batteries to deliver 40V of power [1]. Its IntelliCut feature automatically increases torque when the mower hits thicker grass [1].
Other electric mowers with strong scores
The Toro 60V 22-inch Recycler mower promises to cut up to half an acre in a 53-minute runtime on a single charge [2]. Kenny Koehler of Pro Tool Reviews gave the Milwaukee mower a 9.7 out of 10 [2].
Ryobi shows up strongly at Home Depot. The Ryobi 40V HP Brushless 20-inch self-propelled mower is the highest-rated option among Ryobi's Home Depot listings, starting at $409.00 as a stand-alone tool [2]. Josh McGaffigan of Pro Tool Reviews awarded it a 9.7 out of 10 [2].
Ten of the top-rated electric push mower listings on the Home Depot site are variations of two different 40V Ryobi mowers [2].
Why electric keeps gaining
Electric mowers have improved considerably in power and performance in just a few years [1]. They are also quieter and safer than gas mowers and do not pollute the air the operator breathes [1].
Outside the shop, a recent round of oil conflicts is pushing fuel prices up [1]. State and local governments are continuing to tighten restrictions on noise and small-engine emissions [1].
What it means for you
If you are shopping for a mower, the Amazon list gives you a filter: at least 2,000 reviews and a four-star average or higher [1]. Electric models from EGO Power, Greenworks, and Worx are among the best-rated mowers of any fuel type [1].
Check the runtime against your lawn. The EGO LM2112 offers up to 35 minutes, and the Toro Recycler promises half an acre in 53 minutes [1][2].
Price matters too. Ryobi's best-rated Home Depot mower starts at $409.00 as a stand-alone tool [2]. Electrek's Green Deals posts frequently feature big discounts on electric lawn equipment [1].
