They’re ideal for quickly and efficiently cutting your grass, while being far more eco-friendly than their fossil fuel-guzzling counterparts, which means you’ll be helping the environment.

Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. Worx WG719

A handsome model with a sturdy steel cutting deck, the Worx WG719 (appx. $164) will cut your grass and collect the clippings in a bag or discharge them from the side. The 13 amp motor provides robust power, but the bag doesn’t seal well and lets some debris fall out.

9. Earthwise 50214

The Earthwise 50214 (about $158) features a comfortable V-style handle with a soft, cushioned grip, so extended use won’t rub your hands raw. Its body is made from lightweight plastic that’s sturdy enough to stand up to serious yard work and extensive time outdoors.

8. Sun Joe iON16LM

The trusty Sun Joe iON16LM (about $219) is built around a formidable brushless motor that minimizes wear, increases battery efficiency, and maximizes performance, while at the same time keeping the noise and vibration levels to a minimum.

7. Greenworks 25012

Gas-powered mowers are powerful and can run for a long time, but they are bulky, messy and difficult to maintain, none of which is an issue for the compact Greenworks 25012 (appx. $130). This simple, budget-friendly choice is ideal for smaller yards and tight spaces.

6. Sun Joe MJ403E

Relatively compact and easy to maneuver, the Sun Joe MJ403E (around $138) will cut an efficient, seventeen-inch-wide path in your overgrown lawn. This model is fairly easy to assemble in little time, and is backed by a two-year warranty.

5. GreenWorks 25022

If your storage space is limited, you’ll appreciate the easy folding handle design of the GreenWorks 25022 (about $120). It features a robust 20-inch steel cutting deck and durable all-terrain wheels that offer a similar performance to those on gas mowers.

4. Snapper XD Max

The Snapper XD Max (about $599) is a robust, self-propelled model with a wide, 21-inch cutting swath, making it ideal for larger lots. It comes with two batteries and a rapid charger, which you’ll need because each one lasts only about 45 minutes.

3. Ryobi Brushless

The Ryobi Brushless (about $399) is among the quietest options available. With its whisper quiet function and high-intensity headlights, you can mow in the cooler evening hours and not have to worry about sundown or disturbing your neighbors.

2. Greenworks Twin Force

The Greenworks Twin Force (around $299) features a backup battery port that kicks in when the primary one is spent, for over an hour of total run time. To further extend the battery life, this model has smart-cut technology that provides extra power only when needed for thicker grass.

1. Ego Power+ Cordless

Mowing the lawn is never exactly fun, but the Ego Power+ Cordless (around $949) ensures that it’s as painless as possible. Its weather-resistant design makes it a durable option, while the 20-inch deck and LED headlights allow you to take care of a large lawn at any time of day.
