The 8 Best Electric Lawn Mowers for 2022

If you're exhausted (get it?) by dealing with your gas-powered lawn mower: the plastic containers sloshing gasoline around, the fumes, dusty bottles of sludgy oil, to say nothing of the noise, it's probably time to consider upgrading to an electric model.

Battery powered mowers have many advantages. There's the push-button starting (no more cords to yank!), the lighter weight (though self-propelled models are still available), and the fact that, whether it's been a week or all winter, you can typically just turn one on and start mowing without the maintenance or hassle. And these days, electric lawn mowers can be just as powerful, or even more powerful mowers — hacking through overgrown grass without a problem.

Electric mowers are also much quieter — about as loud as a vacuum cleaner, saving your ears some damage. And cordless battery models typically can share their power source, letting you swap batteries with other tools, from chainsaws to leaf blowers. If you're worried about having to constantly recharge batteries, there are also corded models that can range as far as your extension cord will take you. And given how environmentally friendly they are, there's really no reason not to choose an electric lawn mower, these days. Here are 5 mowers that we like best:
