Best Battery Lawn Mowers of 2026: 10 Compared

This is the all-rounder most buyers should start with. The Worx Nitro WG752 pairs a 21-inch deck rated for 1/2 acre with a vented Aerodeck design that keeps air moving to cut clumping, and Intellicut sensors that automatically dial up cutting speed in thick grass. Two 5.0 Ah PowerShare batteries and a charger come in the box, and the same packs run 140+ other Worx tools. It earns the #1 spot on capability for the money.

Step up to self-propulsion and you get the Worx Nitro WG760, a 21-inch model with variable-speed drive that does the walking for you. It carries over the Aerodeck venting and Intellicut sensors from the WG752, and ships with two 5.0 Ah batteries plus a charger. The trade-off for that drive system is weight and cost — it lands at #2 as the premium Worx choice for buyers who'd rather guide than push.

Small yards rarely need a 21-inch beast, and the Worx 14" WG779 is the proof. It makes a 40V cut from two 20V 4.0Ah PowerShare batteries, weighs just under 30 pounds, and adjusts from 1.5" to 3.5" with one lever. The same Intellicut sensor tech that ramps speed in thick grass carries down to this compact 2-in-1 mower, which is rated for up to 1/8 acre. That blend of light weight and real features makes it our value pick.

When the lawn gets big, the Greenworks 60V 21" steps up with the highest acreage rating in this group — up to 3/4 acre from its 60V brushless motor and two 4.0Ah batteries. Rear-wheel drive handles slopes and thick grass, an LED headlight extends mowing into low light, and the 4-in-1 deck adds versatility. It ranks #4 as a strong large-yard alternative for buyers willing to carry the extra weight.

This Worx WG163 is a 12-inch cordless string trimmer that converts to an edger in seconds, not a walk-behind lawn mower. A push-button Command Feed spool advances line instantly, the head tilts 90 degrees for sloped terrain and tight spots, and rubberized wheels guide cleaner edges. At 5.52 pounds it's a complement to a mower rather than a replacement, which is how it lands at #5.

The Greenworks 40V 16" sits in the practical middle: a 40V push mower rated for up to 1/3 acre on a fully charged 4.0Ah battery, with a deck that's 35% lighter than steel-deck mowers. Single-lever 5-position height adjustment and a 2-in-1 mulch-and-rear-bag system cover the basics, and the battery works with 75+ Greenworks tools. It's our #6 pick for buyers who want simple, light, and maintenance-free.

If you already own DeWalt 20V MAX batteries, the worksky 20V mower lets you skip buying into another platform — it ships with no battery or charger and is built for DeWalt packs. A 500W brushless motor spins at 4500 RPM behind a 14-inch deck, 5 height settings span 1 to 2.6 inches, and a 35L grass bag holds the clippings. It's a budget-minded #7 for DeWalt owners with a small yard.

The Skil PWR Core 40 is a 20-inch self-propelled mower that ships with a 6.0Ah battery and an Auto PWR Jump charger. Its digital brushless motor claims up to 50 minutes of runtime per charge, variable-speed self-propel lets you tune the pace to the task, and a push-button start gets you going without a pull cord. It lands at #8 as a capable self-propelled option for buyers in its platform.

Despite the name, the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is a personal grooming trimmer, not a lawn mower. It carries two interchangeable SkinSafe heads — a trimmer blade and a foil blade — for a skin-close shave, runs waterproof for wet or dry use, and recharges over Usb-c with a travel case. It's the lightest entry here at 0.6 lb, and it ranks #9 only as a grooming tool, not for cutting grass.

Already invested in DeWalt? The Houselife 40V is a tool-only mower that runs on two DeWalt 20V MAX packs you supply — no battery or charger included. Its 14-inch deck cuts a wider path than common 13-inch models, an upgraded copper motor drives a manganese steel blade, and a 35L (9.25-gallon) bag plus a foldable, 6-position frame keep it easy to store. At #10 it's a budget pick for DeWalt owners with a compact yard.
