Best Self-Propelled Lawn Mowers in 2027

The EGO LM2134SP-2 ranks first on our spec sheet. Its Touch Drive system lets you engage the self-propel with palm pressure, and a dial sets speed between 0.9 and 3.1 miles per hour. That means you can slow down for tight turns and walk faster on open grass.

It cuts a 21 in path and weighs 63.9 lb, the lowest weight among the models that list it. Less weight helps when you lift it into a shed or push it up a curb. The deck has eight height positions from 1 to 4 in, so you can match the cut to your grass.

Power comes from two included batteries totaling 672 Wh, with a listed runtime of 100 minutes. The motor is brushless, and the mower mulches or bags into a 16 gal bag. The warranty is 5 years, the longest on the page. The maker does not publish a lawn size per charge. That pairing suits a yard you want to finish in one session.

At 25 in, this Greenworks mower has the widest cutting width of all seven products on this page. A wider deck means fewer passes across the lawn. The rear-wheel drive adds variable speed control from 3.5 to 4.5 MPH, which is a faster range than the EGO lists. The listing says it handles hills easily.

The listing rates it for up to 0.75 acre per charge and 70 minutes of runtime on two included batteries totaling 480 Wh. That suits a mid-size yard. It weighs 67.17 lb, which is heavier than the EGO at 63.9 lb. Expect a bit more effort when lifting or loading it.

It mulches, and the listing mentions Smartcut technology for thick or wet grass. The maker does not publish a cutting height range or a grass bag size here, so check the listing before you count on bagging. A 4-year warranty covers the tool and battery. It ranks second in our ranking, behind the EGO.

This is a gas mower, so there is no battery to charge. The listing rates the 131cc engine for 2 acres on one tank, the highest of the five products that list a lawn size. Refueling takes the place of recharging, so runtime limits matter less. That suits big yards.

The 18 in deck is the narrowest of all seven products, so you make more passes. It has 8 height positions from 1 to 3 in, and the 3 in top end is the lowest ceiling listed. The 13.2 gal grass bag is also the smallest among models that list one.

The maker does not publish weight, so you cannot judge how heavy it is to push or lift. The listing says it mulches, side discharges and bags. Warranty details are not given. Self-propel is listed, but no speed range is given. Gas also means oil, fuel and engine upkeep that battery mowers skip. Check the full listing before you buy.

This model pairs a 21 in deck with one battery of 320 Wh. The listing rates it for 0.5 acre per charge, the lowest among the five products that list one. It suits a small or compact yard better than a large one. The listing also says results vary with grass condition and operator technique.

At 74.95 lb, it is the heaviest mower with a listed weight. That matters for a self-propelled mower because you still lift it into a truck or over steps. The rear-wheel drive and variable speed control help it move itself on the lawn, so the weight matters most off the grass.

The motor is brushless, and a headlight is listed for early or late mowing. The warranty is 4 years. The maker does not publish runtime, cutting height range or grass bag size here, and mulching is not listed. It ranks fourth in our ranking, and several specs are missing.

The SENIX LSSG-H4 is a gas mower with a 170 cc engine and a 22 in deck. The 19 gal bag is the largest among the models that list one, so you empty it less often when bagging. The listing calls it ideal for small to medium yards.

Drive is rear-wheel and single-speed, so you cannot change the pace as you can on the EGO. The mower weighs 72.8 lb and lists 0.55 acre of lawn size. The listing says the 8 in front and 11 in rear wheels help on uneven ground. That is helpful for bumpy yards.

Cutting height runs from 1.25 to 4 in across 6 positions. It mulches, side discharges and bags, and the foldable handle allows vertical storage. The warranty is 2 years, tied for the shortest on the page. It ranks fifth in our ranking. Its 22 in cutting width is wider than the EGO at 21 in but narrower than the 60V Greenworks at 25 in.
