You Can Save Up to $1,000 On This Editor-Approved Lawn Mower Right Now (2023)

Rather than contributing to more fossil fuels, check out the Ryobi electric riding lawn mower—no gas, no fumes. Instead, this mower, which we recommend for its powerful rear engine, uses lead-acid batteries that last for one acre or one hour of runtime.

There are three high-powered brushless motors that offer quiet cutting, and you can adjust the height of the blades for grass up to four and a half inches. There are no spark plugs, belts, or filters for fuss-free maintenance.

The S110 from John Deere is the middle-tier riding mower from its 100 Series lineup, and we recommend it for its features, maneuverable gas pedals, and comfort conveniences.

The mower is equipped with hydrostatic transmission, adjustable controls, and side-by-side pedals. The single-cylinder engine packs plenty of power to handle tough cutting jobs in yards up to one acre, and the mower is currently $100 cheaper than the regular price.

A walk-behind push lawn mower can make taking care of your small backyard a breeze. This design from Troy-Bilt has a pull-start engine, a steel deck for durability, and six height positions to cut grass up to three and a half inches.

It’ll arrive fully assembled, and there is an included mulch kit to upgrade your landscaping for less than $260 at the time of this writing.

The Ego Z6 can hold up to six batteries at once, and can cover up to four acres on a single charge. When Popular Mechanics editors put this mower to the test, they found that the mower had an hour and 40 minutes of runtime at its top speed of eight miles per hour—enough to do a decent-sized lawn in one go, especially if you run it a bit slower.

The four independent brushless motors are comparable to gas-powered motors, powering each blade directly without gearing. There is an adjustable seat suspension for a more comfortable ride, and the mower comes equipped with LED lights, a USB port, and Bluetooth connectivity. You can snag it now for $1,000 off.
