This review has been updated 3 times since it was first published in March of 2019. Take some of the hassle out of yard work with one of these cordless lawn mowers. Unlike traditional gas-powered machines, these electric models are quiet, environmentally-friendly, and require little to no maintenance. They come in a wide range of sizes and styles, including push and self-propelled versions, and many of them fold down to take up little space in your shed or garage.
