EGO Power+ LM2114

4.6

$499as of Jun 7

The EGO Power+ LM2114 is the best cordless push mower under $500, the model reviewers reach for first. Its 56V brushless motor puts out 6 ft-lb of torque, matching a 140cc gas mower, and the included 6.0Ah battery delivers up to 55 minutes of runtime. Pro Tool Reviews and Consumer Reports both rate the LM2114 line highly, and the Gator mulching blade produces a clean cut. The kit lands around $449.

Strengths

— Up to 55 minutes of runtime on the included 56V 6.0Ah battery

Ranked #3 in Best Electric Lawn Mowers Under $500

Greenworks 80V 21-Inch Push Mower

4.4

$599.99as of Jun 7

The Greenworks 80V 21-inch push mower (GLM801602) is the high-voltage value pick, typically around $398 with battery and charger. Its 80V brushless motor and up to 60 minutes of runtime give it strong power and endurance for a push mower, and easylawnmowing scored it 95/100. The trade-offs are 3-in-1 (no dedicated leaf mode) functionality and push-only operation, but for power-per-dollar it is a standout.

Strengths

— 80V brushless motor is the highest-voltage push mower here
— Up to 60 minutes of runtime on the included 4.0Ah battery
— Strong value, typically around $398 with battery and charger

Watch-outs

— 3-in-1 functionality (no dedicated leaf mode like the 60V)
— Push-only; no self-propulsion at this price
— Heavier feel than the 60V push at around 60 lb

How they stack up

EGO Power+ LM2114

The cleanest-cutting and most powerful push mower here, ahead of the Greenworks 60V 21-inch push and Greenworks 80V 21-inch push on torque and the premium Gator blade. It is push-only, so for hills the self-propelled Greenworks MO48L4422 is the better fit; the corded Sun Joe MJ403E is far cheaper but tethered.

Greenworks 80V 21-Inch Push Mower

The highest-voltage push mower here, with more headroom than the Greenworks 60V 21-inch push and runtime that rivals it, at a similar low price. It is push-only like the EGO LM2114 (which has the premium Gator blade and ecosystem edge), and for self-propulsion the Greenworks MO48L4422 is the pick. Far more capable than the corded Sun Joe MJ403E.
