Best Electric Lawn Mowers of 2026: 10 Compared

This is the all-rounder that earned the top rank. The Worx Nitro WG752 pairs a 21-inch cutting deck with the second-generation brushless motor, which the listing credits with 40% more power and 10% longer runtime than first-gen brushless units. Vented Aerodeck airflow keeps clippings from clumping, Intellicut sensors push the speed up in thick grass, and two 5.0 Ah PowerShare batteries plus a charger come in the box.

Take the WG752's strengths and bolt on drive, and you get this WG760. It's a 21-inch self-propelled mower with variable speed, so it pulls itself across the yard while you steer. The same Aerodeck venting and Intellicut sensors carry over, along with two 5.0 Ah PowerShare batteries and a charger. At 63.11 lb it's the trade you accept for not pushing.

When the lawn is small and storage is tight, this WG779 makes a strong case. It draws 40V from two 20V 4.0Ah batteries and is rated for up to 1/8 acre, with a single lever moving the deck between 1.5 and 3.5 inches. Just under 30 lb, it's light enough to carry, and its Intellicut sensors still match cutting speed to the grass. The PowerShare cells fit the wider Worx range too.

Larger properties are where this Greenworks 60V self-propelled mower earns its keep. The 60V brushless motor and two 4.0Ah batteries are pitched at gas-like power across up to 3/4 acre, with rear-wheel drive for slopes and thick grass. It adds LED headlights for low light, 4-in-1 versatility, and IPX4 weather resistance. At 65.04 lb it's one of the heavier machines here.

Not every lawn tool is a mower, and this Worx trimmer fills the gap a deck leaves behind. It converts from a 12-inch string trimmer to a lawn edger in seconds, runs off a 20V battery, and weighs just 5.5 lb. The push-button Command Feed advances line instantly, the head tilts 90 degrees for slopes and tight spots, and rubberized wheels guide cleaner edges. Two batteries and a charger are included.

This Greenworks 60V push model keeps things gas-rivaling without the self-propelled premium. It cites 50% more torque than 40V mowers and a 3200 RPM blade speed, paired with SmartCut self-sharpening dual blades that adjust power for tall or wet grass. A steel deck and IPX4 rating handle damp conditions, oversized rear wheels ease pushing, and dual-port auto-switch tech moves to a second battery without stopping. It's rated for up to a half acre.

For a mid-small yard, this 40V Greenworks splits the difference between the tiniest picks and the full-size decks. It cuts up to 1/3 acre on a 4.0Ah battery, and the listing flags it as 35% lighter than steel-deck mowers at 37.5 lb. A single lever sets one of five heights, a 2-in-1 system covers mulching and rear bagging, and the battery is listed as compatible with 75-plus tools.

SKIL's PWR Core 40 brings self-propulsion to the mid-pack. The 20-inch self-propelled mower runs a digital brushless motor and is rated for up to 50 minutes on its included 40V 6.0Ah battery. Variable-speed self-propel lets you match pace to the task, push-button start skips the pull cord, and the Auto PWR Jump charger comes in the kit. It's a clean entry for buyers wanting drive without the top-tier outlay.

This is the premium pick for buyers chasing the longest sessions and the most controllable drive. The EGO Power+ LM2134SP runs a Select Cut multi-blade system and Touch Drive self-propulsion controlled from the palm of your hand, and EGO rates it at up to 100 minutes on both included 56V 6.0Ah ARC Lithium batteries. A high-efficiency brushless motor keeps vibration low. The catch is heft: at about 96 lb it's the heaviest machine in this group.

For the smallest spaces, this Steelite goes the opposite direction from the heavy self-propelled units. It's a 13-inch corded mower drawing 1300W, narrow enough to maneuver around flower beds and through gates, and at 19 lb it's the lightest pick here, easy to lift onto a hook for storage. A steel deck and a 5-way height range from 0.98 to 2.56 inches round it out. Being corded, it never needs a battery charge.
