Mow & maintain / THE BUYING GUIDE

Push & self-propelled mowers

Walk-behind choices for everyday lawns and tighter spaces.

BEFORE YOU SHOP

Choose the effort level that suits you

A push mower relies on you to move it. A self-propelled mower helps drive the wheels while you steer. Compare handling, mowing height and battery runtime against the grass you actually need to cut.

01Choose push or self-propelled deliberately; they are different models.
02Check the tallest and shortest cutting settings.
03Account for thick grass, obstacles and recharge time.
04Confirm battery and charger inclusion before comparing kits.
