Top 10 Algae Scrapers

10. PowerSmart DB8620

The PowerSmart DB8620 (about $230) may look a little odd, but if you need something maneuverable that can make tight turns around a lot of obstacles, there are few better choices. Plus, its eight-position deck offers a lot of versatility in cutting height.

9. Honda HRR216K9VKA

Engineered for user comfort, the Honda HRR216K9VKA (appx. $499) features well-placed thumb controls that make it easy to set the speed to your walking pace, or slow it down as you maneuver around trees and hedges. It is equipped with a dual-position handle.

8. Troy-Bilt TB490

The Troy-Bilt TB490 (around $657) features a combination of eight-inch front tires and 11-inch rear tires with an all-wheel drive system that delivers impressive traction on any type of terrain. Its padded handle provides a comfortable grip as you work.

7. Husqvarna LC221RH

Coming from a company that knows a thing or two about making powerful and reliable outdoor equipment, the Husqvarna LC221RH (around $500) should continue to function admirably for years. It can plow through thick patches of tall grass and barely slows down.

6. Powerworks MO60L512PW

The Powerworks MO60L512PW (about $558) is suitable for yards of up to 3/4 of an acre, and never requires any maintenance, unlike loud, smelly, gas-powered models. It allows for compact, vertical storage and has a folding handle, making it ideal for those with small garages.

5. Yard Force YF120vRX

The dual-battery Yard Force YF120vRX (appx. $830) offers 100 minutes of uninterrupted runtime, and has as much torque as its gas-powered brethren. It automatically increases the speed of its motor and blade when slicing through thick or wet grass.

4. Snapper XD

The Snapper XD (around $599) boasts an easy-to-access variable speed trigger, a 21-inch steel cutting deck, and a convenient three-in-one clippings management system that makes it simple to dispose of your grass by mulching, bagging, or discharging it from the side.

3. Ego Power+ LM2100SP

The Ego Power+ LM2100SP (appx. $471) offers simple push-button starting and a single-handed deck adjustment, so you can get to work with having to fiddle around too much. Its battery lasts through 60 minutes, and takes the same amount of time to recharge.

2. Craftsman M310

The Craftsman M310 (appx. $349) is an affordably-priced model that performs well on both flat and hilly areas, as well as on short turf and rough patches. It features a mid-sized, gas-powered engine that has enough torque to push through tall, thick grass.

1. Honda HRX217K4HZA

The Honda HRX217K4HZA (appx. $869) features a hydrostatic transmission that makes engaging and disengaging the drive, and adjusting the speed surprisingly smooth. It is also equipped with a micro-cut twin blade system that produces ultra-fine clippings in order to minimize clumping.
