Your Ideal Lawn Mower

 

To be pleased with your lawn mower, you have to be happy - the best decision is based on getting a lawn mower that gives you the lawn results you want.  Some people want to bag and see no grass clippings on their lawn.  Others see bagging as a hassle but want a mulcher to insure they see no grass clippings on their lawn.  Still other people don't want to bag, could care less if they mulch but would still like to see the clippings discharged evenly.  A fundamental issue is this - ease of use, i.e., will my lawn mower start - easily.  Another buying decision is whether my lawn mower gently pulls me along or do I have to push it as a form of exercise.  With people's various values in mind, here's some of the best mower that meet the various values.

Where's My Gas Powered Push Mower?

Frankly, the self-propelled walk behinds and the powerful riding lawn mowers (lawn tractors) are superior performers.  But if you are willing to take 1or 2 steps down in performance, these gas powered push mowers are the best combination of mulching, bagging, discharging and ease of use:

  1. The Lawn-Boy 10640 for $239.

  2. Cub Cadet 11A-18MC for $230.

  3. Bolens 11A-414A for $180.

Overall Review

From the data above you can see a pattern forming - in walk behind lawn mowers, Honda cost a lot of money and deliver a lot of performance. Lawn Boy delivers a lot of performance for a lower cost.  In riding lawn mowers (lawn tractors) John Deere and Toro are frequent winners.  But look at Cub Cadet and Craftsman - they perform well against John Deere and Toro and can save you some money.  Also keep in mind the higher numbers you'll see in zero turn mower prices.  Take a look at what we think are the Best Performers for the Least Money.
