The best of...battery-powered lawn mowers
Ego LM2135SP
Amid a growing field of fine cordless options, this self-propelled 21-inch mower “stands apart” because of its combination of a 60-minute runtime, short charge time, and “polished dual-blade cutting.” It “easily mows down overgrown grass.” $699, lowes.com

Toro Recycler 21466
This self-propelled mower’s 22-inch deck is all steel, no plastic, while the “exceptionally efficient” 60-volt motor helps cover a lot of ground during its 40-minute runtime. Like the Ego and Ryobi here, this Toro can be stored upright.

Ryobi RY401170VNM
A great value option, this 20-inch push mower runs for 45 minutes on a 90-minute charge. It’s also “a commendable performer,” earning a rating of “excellent” in mulching, evenness of cut, handling, and noise level.

Ryobi RY48111
Ego and Ryobi also both make excellent electric riding mowers. Ryobi’s best has a 38-inch, two-blade deck that will quietly “plow through tough grass” for two and a half hours on a charge. The 48-volt mower can also tow a small cart.
