THE OUTDOOR EDIT / 01

Push mowers.

A small lawn or a full Saturday project? Start with the right deck, battery system, and amount of effort.

Research picks. Community verdict still to come.

01

EGO

POWER+ LM2114

Everyday cordless mowing

Research pick

A straightforward starting point for a cordless shortlist. The 21-inch deck and folding design balance cutting width with storage, while the 56V battery works across EGO tools.

  • 21-inch deck
  • Seven cutting heights
  • Mulch, bag, or side discharge
The tradeoff

You supply the pushing power. Confirm the kit’s battery capacity; runtime depends on battery and grass conditions.

RYOBI

40V HP RY401170

Existing RYOBI 40V owners

Research pick

A useful candidate if your shed already runs on RYOBI 40V batteries. Its 20-inch cutting deck and folding handles make it worth comparing for a conventional residential lawn.

  • 20-inch cutting deck
  • Brushless motor
  • Folding handles for vertical storage
The tradeoff

The manufacturer’s runtime is a maximum, not a promise for thick or wet grass. Check which battery the seller includes.

TORO

60V Recycler 21323

A mulching-focused option

Research pick

Toro’s Recycler cutting system makes this a relevant candidate for shoppers who want to return clippings to the lawn. Model 21323 is the push version in its 60V family.

  • 21-inch cutting width
  • Recycler cutting system
  • Flex-Force 60V battery platform
The tradeoff

Check the exact model number: Toro sells similar-looking self-propelled models and bare-tool configurations.

EGO

Select Cut LM2135

More cutting configuration options

Research pick

An alternative within the EGO family for shoppers interested in the Select Cut multi-blade system. Compare the complete kit against the simpler LM2114 before paying for additional features.

  • Select Cut multi-blade system
  • 21-inch deck
  • 7.5Ah battery in the listed kit
The tradeoff

Still a push mower. Additional cutting features do not establish better real-world results without independent testing.

RYOBI

18V ONE+ P1180

Small spaces and narrow access

Research pick

A compact 13-inch option for shoppers whose lawn does not call for a full-width mower. Particularly relevant if they already own compatible RYOBI ONE+ tools.

  • 13-inch cutting width
  • 18V ONE+ battery system
  • Push-mower design
The tradeoff

A narrow deck means more passes over the same area. Check the current kit and availability before choosing it.
