![]() And Consumer Reports’ tests show they’re quieter than gas models.ĬR’s expert lawn mower tests are uniquely useful because they combine scientific rigor with real-world usage. They also require less maintenance than gas mowers. They’re more eco-friendly than gas machines and don’t produce noxious fumes because they don’t use fossil fuels. Battery mowers have other unique benefits.A few brands, including DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee, sell battery mowers that run on 18- or 20-volt batteries that also power their hand tools, including drills and circular saws. Increasingly, mower brands are designing other outdoor power tools-for instance, string trimmers, leaf blowers, and chainsaws-to accept the same battery as their mowers, typically at 40 volts or higher. ![]() You often can use the battery for other yard jobs.A CR analysis found that depending on the model you choose, the savings on gasoline and maintenance can more than make up for the price difference within a few years of ownership.

Among push mowers that CR recommends, cordless electrics from Kobalt and Skil are priced similarly to gas models from Toro and Troy-Bilt but score comparably or higher in our ratings. Performance among our tested models is improving for both self-propelled and push battery mowers, and they offer more value, Kollontai says. You’re getting more value for your money.“Battery run times have increased to the point where some mowers are able to cut nearly half an acre in one charge,” says Misha Kollontai, CR’s test engineer for lawn mowers. (The average run time of battery mowers in our tests is 30 to 45 minutes, enough to cut a quarter-acre.) Some manufacturers are designing new models with multiple battery slots when one battery is spent, another can take over, a feature CR’s expert testers consider in determining a model’s true run time. Several battery and self-propelled mowers in our ratings offer an impressive run time of 70 or more minutes.
