Our picks of the best battery-powered lawn mowers for home and commercial use
1. Worx 40V 17″ Lawn Mower WG743: Best overall battery powered lawn mover
| Pros | Cons |
| – More torque on demand with IntelliCut™ – Dual-port charger for fast charging – 2-in-1 mulching or bagging functionality | – Maneuvering with the IntelliCut™ technology takes some getting used to |
Key features
- Adjustable torque
- Cut-to-edge design for cutting near obstacles and fencing
- 7-position blade height adjustments for any lawn
The Worx 40V 17” battery powered lawn mower is our all-around pick because it auto-adjusts torque, charges quickly, and is easily stored. This mower offers seven blade height positions for any job, and even mulches and bags in one sweep. It’s a great mid-range size for maneuvering in tight spaces and covering plenty of surface area for bigger jobs. It’s 40V of reliable, consistent power.
“The very best mower for tight and small areas. Compact in size. Cuts like the big ones. Stores easily. Price was perfect. Purchased to cut in a child’s play area where a rider couldn’t fit. Shortened the weed-eating time because this mower gets where a regular mower couldn’t. Could also be used in larger areas.” – Verified user from Best Buy.
Some users, however, cite that the automatic IntelliCut™ is tricky to activate and use, so it might not be the best choice for those who prefer older technology. That being said, it’s a great catch-all mower that any operator can rely on for both home and commercial use.
2. Greenworks Brushless Push Mower
| Pros | Cons |
| – Durable 20-inch steel deck covers large areas – LED headlights to mow at dusk or dawn – Adjustable handle for easy storage and ergonomic operation | – Not the easiest to maneuver in small or tight spaces |
Key features

The 20″ Brushless Push Mower from Greenworks is exactly what you’d want for big jobs. With a 20-inch steel deck, seven cutting heights, and a 60-minute run time, it’s durable and reliable. This mower has LED headlights and a lightweight body, making it comfortable to operate. It also folds neatly for convenient storage. Mowers will enjoy the quiet operation and ergonomic adjustable handle.
“I am SOLD! I have never used a battery-charged lawnmower before. I have always purchased gas or corded lawn tools. I have to say that purchasing this product was a game-changer!” – A verified buyer from the Greenwords website.
Due to its wide deck, it may not be ideal for those with a smaller yard or one with numerous obstacles. That’s why we recommend this mower for those with a larger lawn to cover.
3. Craftsman V20 Battery Powered Mower

The V20 brushless battery powered mower from Craftsman is a top pick for small spaces. The dual-lever blade height adjustment covers a range of 1.5 to 3.5 inches, allowing for 50 minutes of uninterrupted, fatigue-free operation. This mower comes with two batteries for backup power, and it can maneuver around obstacles with ease. Additionally, its compact design occupies 78% less space, making it an ideal choice for small sheds or homes with limited storage.
“This mower is unbelievable, I mowed the back, the side, and the front of my yard, which is approximately 600 ft. When I finished, both batteries showed they were still fully charged! I am extremely happy with this mower. It’s very lightweight and easily collapsible to store.” – Verified buyer from Lowes.
Some users cite that the battery lifespan is subpar. Because of this, we’d say this mower is best for casual mowers with smaller areas to cover.

| – Powerful 3,700 RPM motor for the toughest cutting jobs – Cut height ranges between 1 inch and 2.55 inches – Easy to maneuver 13-inch deck width and 5.5-inch rear wheels | – Smaller deck makes it less-than-suitable for larger lawns and fields |

This machine features a range of blade heights, a powerful 3,700 RPM engine, and includes a handy blower to tidy up after the job is done. Do less weed trimming, and get jobs done more efficiently.
“Let me tell you, this small, lightweight mower is the best purchase I’ve made in the past few years! It is small but mighty. Batteries last long and don’t take an eternity to charge. Perfect for mowing around all my landscaping. Gets close enough that my weed eating has been cut to 1/3! I really can’t say enough. I highly recommend!” – A user from the Lawnmaster website.
This mower features a smaller deck, so while it can still handle large jobs, it may not be as fast as some of the other larger models on our list.

The intricate cross-cut functionality means less clumping and clogging of the machine, and the one-touch folding mechanism makes this mower easy to store and transport.
“Wife talked me into buying this, and it’s one of the best things I’ve done. I love the power it has, so much quieter and lighter than a gas mower, so much easier to use in our yard, and it cuts up the grass so much better.” – A user on the Ryobi website.
Some users report that, in the event they need replacement parts, contacting RYOBI for repairs or replacements can be a headache. With all of that said, we’d say this mower is still great for operators who need a long-lasting battery and auto-adjustment features.

More avid users have cited that the recycler chute clogs quickly. For that reason, we’d say this mower is perfect for those who mow less often.

It has a 6-setting lever for various grass conditions, and the handy LED dashboard displays operator feedback, the current cutting mode, and battery life. The clippings are easy to bag thanks to the side discharge, and the quiet runtime allows operators a pleasant experience while in use.
“First off, I love not worrying about gas, how many pulls it’s gonna take, or if it’s going to start at all. Secondly, SO QUIET!!!! The two 12Ah batteries will run forever. Then you can adjust the speed of the mower and make easy height adjustments. When you are done, it folds up nice and small; it doesn’t take any more space than a couple of folding chairs.” – A user from the DeWalt website.
The one downside is that the battery life isn’t as impressive as that of others on our list. We’d recommend going with the DeWalt if you’re looking for an eco-friendly, reliable, and adjustable option for some of the biggest jobs.
