Gold Tested
Electric mowers have caught up to gas for lawns under half an acre. We mowed 20 lawns with 8 electric mowers and compared cutting quality, runtime, and the experience of never buying gas or changing oil again.

The EGO LM2135SP mowed our 0.25-acre test lot twice on a single charge with power to spare. Its self-propulsion system adjusts speed to your walking pace. Cutting quality in wet grass matched our gas
We measured cutting uniformity at three height settings, runtime on a measured 0.25-acre lot, recharge time, and mulching quality. We also tested performance in wet grass — where most electric mowers fail.
The EGO LM2135SP mowed our 0.25-acre test lot twice on a single charge with power to spare. Its self-propulsion system adjusts speed to your walking pace. Cutting quality in wet grass matched our gas mower benchmark.
