Lawn Mowers · 28 compared side by side

Best Cordless Lawn Mowers in 2027

A good cordless mower finishes your lawn on one charge, moves easily and fits your yard. Check runtime or the acreage rating first. Then look at weight, because a heavy mower is harder to turn and store. Drive type, cutting width and bag size also change how the job feels. We put 28 products on one spec sheet so you can compare these numbers side by side. Where a maker does not publish a spec, we say so instead of guessing.

Best overall

EGO Power+ LM2135SPEGO POWER+ 21" Cordless Electric Lawn Mower Kit, Self-Propelled - LM2135SP

EGO LM2135SP leads our ranking with long runtime

Cutting width

Battery energy
420 Wh (best of the reviewed tools)
Runtime per charge
60 min (best of the reviewed tools)
Weight
55.3 lb

The LM2135SP ranks first on our spec score. It lists 60 minutes of runtime per charge, the longest among the models that list it. The 420 Wh battery supplies that time. For a buyer who wants to finish the lawn without stopping to recharge, runtime is the number that matters most, and this mower leads it.

It is a self-propelled mower with a 21 in cutting width and a brushless motor. Self-propelled drive means the mower pulls itself forward, so the 55.3 lb weight matters less on flat ground. Eight height positions run from 1 to 4 in. The deck also supports mulching, and the listing mentions a high-lift bagging blade.

The product data does not list a grass bag capacity or a warranty length. Buyers who bag clippings should check that before buying. The listing also describes a speed range of 0.9 to 3.1 miles per hour, so you can set the pace to your walking speed.

Pros

  • Longest listed runtime per charge
  • Self-propelled with variable speed
  • Eight cutting height positions

Cons

  • Weighs 55.3 lb
  • No bag capacity listed
Buy it if
you want the longest runtime on one charge.
Skip it if
you need a light mower for tight spaces.

VerdictA self-propelled mower that leads our ranking and gives the longest listed runtime.

Ranked second, the MO60L424 is built around lawn size. Greenworks says it handles up to 0.75 acre per charge, the highest figure among the models that list it. It does not publish a runtime in minutes. Greenworks also notes the result varies with terrain and technique, so treat the acreage as a guide.

Power comes from two included batteries rated at 240 Wh and a brushless motor. Rear-wheel drive and self-propelled control help on slopes and thick grass, which is where a heavy mower earns its keep. The 65.04 lb weight is a real cost, though. Moving it around the shed or garage is harder than with a lighter push model.

It mulches, and the listing adds bagging, side discharge and leaf pickup. A 4-year warranty covers the tool and batteries. Its 21 in cutting width ties for the widest on the page. The data lists no cutting height range, height positions or bag capacity, so check those before you buy.

Pros

  • Largest listed lawn per charge
  • Two batteries included
  • 4-year warranty

Cons

  • Weighs 65.04 lb
  • No runtime in minutes listed
Buy it if
you have a larger or sloped yard.
Skip it if
you want a light mower you can lift easily.

VerdictA heavy self-propelled pick rated for the largest lawn among models that list it.

Biggest grass bag

EGO Power+ LM2114EGO POWER+ 21" Cordless Electric Lawn Mower with Battery, Charger - LM2114

EGO LM2114 is the lighter push option with a big bag

Battery energy
336 Wh
Runtime per charge
55 min
Weight
45.2 lb

The LM2114 ranks third and takes a different route from the first-place EGO. It is a push mower, so you provide the forward effort. In return it weighs 45.2 lb, lighter than the 55.3 lb self-propelled LM2135SP. That makes turning and lifting easier on a yard with tight corners. Weight matters when you lift the mower into a shed or over steps.

Runtime is listed at 55 minutes from a 336 Wh battery. The listing says the battery charges in 80 minutes. The grass bag holds 18.5 gal, the largest bag among the models that list it, so you empty it less often. Cutting height runs from 1.25 to 4 in across seven positions.

It has a brushless motor and LED headlights for dawn or dusk mowing. The 5-year warranty is the longest listed on this page. The data does not list mulching, so bagging is the safer assumption. Check the lawn size too, since no acreage is published.

Pros

  • Largest bag, 18.5 gal
  • Longest warranty at 5 years
  • Lighter at 45.2 lb

Cons

  • Push only, no drive
  • No mulching listed
Buy it if
you bag clippings on a small to mid yard.
Skip it if
you want self-propelled drive on slopes.

VerdictA lighter push mower with the biggest bag and the longest warranty listed.

Self-propelled at 80V

Weight
75.0 lb

The MO80L416 ranks fourth. It is the heaviest mower on the page at 74.95 lb. That is the main thing to weigh. Self-propelled rear-wheel drive with variable speed does the pushing, but you still have to turn it, store it and lift it into a vehicle or shed. Plan for the weight.

Greenworks says one charge of the 4.0Ah battery cuts up to 0.5 acre. That is less than the 0.75 acre listed for the MO60L424, and the listing notes results vary with grass condition and technique. The battery is rated at 320 Wh. No runtime in minutes is published, so you cannot compare it directly with models that list minutes.

It has a brushless motor, a steel deck and an LED headlight. One battery is included and the warranty runs 4 years. The data lists no mulching, no bag capacity and no cutting height range, so confirm those details. The 80V battery system also works with other Greenworks 80V tools.

Pros

  • Self-propelled with variable speed
  • Brushless motor
  • 4-year warranty

Cons

  • Heaviest on the page
  • Only one battery included
Buy it if
you need drive for a mid-sized yard.
Skip it if
you lift the mower into a vehicle often.

VerdictA self-propelled option for mid-sized yards, held back by the heaviest weight on this page.

Corded, not cordless

Weight
28.0 lb (best of the reviewed tools)

This one does not fit the keyword. The MEB1114K is an electric corded mower, so it needs a power cord and has no battery. It ranks fifth on our spec score, but a buyer who wants a cordless mower should look at the cordless models ranked above it. The listing even says no gas or batteries are needed.

On the numbers, it is light. It weighs 28 lb, lighter than the four cordless models reviewed here, and the listing says the push handles fold for storage. The 14 in cutting width is the narrowest on the page, tied with one other model, so a larger lawn means more passes. Five height positions run from 1.4 to 3 in.

The grass bag holds 7 gal, the smallest among the models that list it, so it fills quickly. The listing mentions 7.75 in rear wheels and a 3,300 RPM motor. A cord also limits how far you can reach from an outlet.

Pros

  • Weighs only 28 lb
  • Handles fold for storage
  • No battery to charge

Cons

  • Corded, not cordless
  • Smallest bag listed, 7 gal
Buy it if
you have a small yard near an outlet.
Skip it if
you want a cordless mower.

VerdictA light corded mower that does not answer a cordless search, though it may suit a small yard near an outlet.

Buying guide

Match runtime to lawn size

Runtime and acreage ratings tell you if one charge finishes the job. Listings say results vary with grass and technique, so leave a margin. Some models list minutes, such as 60 for the EGO LM2135SP, and others list acres, such as 0.75 for the Greenworks MO60L424. Do not compare minutes with acres directly.

Weigh weight against drive type

Self-propelled mowers pull themselves, so extra weight matters less while mowing. It still matters when you lift, turn or store the mower. Push models can be light, such as 21 lb for the EWORK 40V 14 in. The self-propelled mowers reviewed here run from 55.3 lb to 74.95 lb.

Check battery and what's included

Battery energy in Wh shows how much power is stored. Check how many batteries come in the box. The Greenworks MO60L424 includes 2, while the EGO LM2135SP includes 1. A second battery lets you swap and keep mowing, though you should check charge time.

Pick cutting width and bag

A wider deck means fewer passes, but it is harder to fit through gates and around beds. Four of the five mowers reviewed here cut 21 in, while the corded LawnMaster cuts 14 in. If you bag clippings, compare capacity: the EGO LM2114 lists 18.5 gal. Mulching mowers can skip the bag.

FAQ

How long does a cordless mower battery last?

It depends on the model. Among the ones reviewed here, the EGO LM2135SP lists 60 minutes and the EGO LM2114 lists 55 minutes. Greenworks lists acres instead of minutes. Runtime changes with grass height, terrain and how you mow, so treat listed figures as best-case guidance.

Is a self-propelled cordless mower worth it?

It helps on slopes, thick grass and larger lawns, because the mower drives its own wheels. The cost is weight. The self-propelled models reviewed here weigh 55.3 lb to 74.95 lb, while the EGO LM2114 push model weighs 45.2 lb. Small flat yards may not need drive.

What size cordless mower do I need?

Match the rating to your lawn. The Greenworks MO60L424 lists up to 0.75 acre per charge, and the MO80L416 lists up to 0.5 acre. For small yards, the Worx WG745 lists 0.25 acre. A 21 in deck makes fewer passes on open ground.

Is a corded mower the same as a cordless one?

No. A corded mower such as the LawnMaster MEB1114K needs an outlet and has no battery, so the cord limits your reach. A cordless mower runs on a battery and moves freely, but you have to plan around runtime and charging.
