Our Picks: How we picked the best electric lawn mowers in India 2022
Know how we picked our products.
There are several types of lawnmowers, but when we talk about the electric mower, it is further divided into two categories- corded and cordless.
Both corded and cordless electric lawn mower comes with its advantages and disadvantages.
Corded mowers come with power cords. This type is best only if you have an outdoor power source and a lawn that is of small or medium size. Otherwise, you will need an extension cord, and you do not want to string several power cords together to reach the corners of your lawn. Moreover, you have to be careful avoiding situations where you might trip on the power cord, or worse, run over it with the mower and slicing them in two. On a good note, with corded mowers, you don’t have to worry about enough power to finish the whole job in one go.
A cordless or battery-powered mower gives you freedom from power cords and problems associated with it, including winding up the cable and storing it. Your only concern will be how much part of the job you can finish before the battery runs out. Therefore, check two things- area that a fully charged cordless mower can cover before the battery runs out and the total time the mower can run on a single charge. Usually, there is one or another area where performance suffers. For example, cordless lawnmowers that can run longer sometimes do not cut through thicker varieties of grass.

Lawn size has a significant role to play in deciding which lawnmower to buy. Lawn size will determine what should be the type, self-propelled feature, weight, deck size, etc. of the mower. In other words, many other features depend on this one feature.

Terrain means nature of lawn. Is it flat and clear or hills and obstacles? A standard push or a reel mower is best for a small flat lawn. Whereas for hilly terrain, pick a self-propelled mower, which uses its engine to power the wheels. If you have rocks, fountains, flower beds or any such obstacle you need a mow that can be easily manoeuvred. A zero-turn radius mower that is easier to steer around will be best to fight such a situation.

Like gas-powered landowners, electric mowers do not call for pulling a heavy starter cord to start them. But there are different options available to get an electric mower going. One is, insert a key and pull the starter handle. Some mowers use a key and starter button option. The first one types mower come with a safety mechanism: if you let go of the handle, the machine shuts off.

Consider cutting height for each model you shortlist. Typically, it varies from 20 to 70 mm, depending on the model. Lawnmowers come with a minimum cutting height of 30 mm as well, which can be frustrating in case of short lawns!
A standard lawn height ranges from 35 to 45 mm, a short lawn height is between 20 to 30 mm while a pasture will be around 50 to 60 mm. Take height settings also into account. Most of the models come with 3 to 8 height settings. Different height settings come in handy when you have an overgrown lawn.

Wider cutting blades simply means a few rounds required to cut the grass.
For small lawns, i.e. up to 50 sq. m., choose a mower with a cutting width between 30 cm and 34 cm.
For medium lawns, whose area is between 50 – 150 sq. m., get a mower with a cutting width between 35 cm – 40 cm.
For lawns with an area of more than 150 sq. m., a mower with a cutting width bigger than 40 cm will be best.

The weight of a lawnmower plays a crucial role not only in the case of a manual type mower but electric as well, especially when the propel type is hand-push. Therefore, you must check the type of material used to make that electric lawnmower. After all, you don’t want to buy one that needs too much strength to use. The general rule is that the more metal there is, the heavier the mower will be. This is the reason that petrol mowers are usually the heaviest. Similarly, mowers designed especially for bigger lawns are bulky, as they have larger frames and wider cutting blades.

The power of electric lawnmowers is measured in watt, and 'W' is the symbol used for it. A lawnmower must be powerful to cover the lawn in minimum time. A lawnmower with 100 to 1300 W power can cover 300 m² property. Whereas,1400 to 1800 W is right for covering the area above 300 m² and below 700 m².

Mowers that help in cutting close to the lawn edges and around the obstacles save your time spent afterwards in trimming the missed grass using a grass trimmer or shears. So, a mower with features like grass combs is always perfect.

As per lawn care experts, you should cut the maximum thirty per cent grass of its overall height. Cutting the grass at a level shorter than this weakens it and make it prone to disease and less resilient in the event of a hot, dry spell.
You need an adjustable height function because the height of the grass can vary. The reasons could be irregular mowing. And even if you do trim the grass regularly, grass can grow faster or slower at different times during the year. So, this feature comes in handy in either situation.
There are two aspects to consider while looking for this feature. First, the ease with which the mower’s height can be adjusted and second, height options. Speaking of the first aspect, some mowers have a separate lever for each wheel, and these can make things difficult at times because bringing all wheels at the same level is not easy. Also, there are mowers that adjust all the wheels simultaneously, although these can sometimes be hard to operate. While considering the second aspect, pick a mower that has at least three height options and the height range is between 38mm to 100mm.

The deck is that area that is attached to the wheels and covers the blade. If you look underneath a mower to access the blade, it means you are looking under the deck. Therefore, the general rule is deck width is equal to cutting width. If deck width is 20 inches, then with each pass of the mower, you will be cutting a 20-inch-wide swath of grass.
With a larger deck, you will cut more grass with each pass. But they have a downside as well. They are hard to navigate around the obstacles like flower beds and bushes. Smaller decks come in handy here as they are easy to manoeuvre.

Most of the lawn mowers make a sound while operating. And some of them produce a noise loud enough to annoy you. Some lawnmower comes with mufflers to diminish the sounds of the lawnmower; you can look for this feature for silent operation.

The capacity of a grass or collection box lies between 30 to 60 litres. For a small garden, a grass box with a 30-litre capacity will be sufficient. For medium and extensive gardens, a grass box with 30 to 50 litres and 50 to 60 litres capacity will be enough.

Usually, electric lawnmowers are lightweight and can be carried by one person. However, some of them call for two people as well. In any case, if there is no prominent place to hold on to, the tool can prove to be uncomfortable. Check for carrying handles and an ergonomically designed handle will give you utmost comfort. Try not to lift a mower by its handlebar as the weight will not be distributed evenly in that case, and also, the handles might not be able to bear the weight of the rest of the mower.

The type of handlebar matters as it adds to the comfort and determines storage and transport. The adjustable handlebar helps you in adapting the height of the handle as per your requirement. There are lawn mowers that come with foldable and removable options to make the machine movement and storage easier.

Taking the mower with a filled grass box to the compost heap to empty the box is a physically demanding task. To avoid this, people prefer a lawnmower with a mulching mode. It is a setting that finely chops and redistributes grass on your lawn and not collects it. There is no need to empty your grass collector, and there is no gradual increase in weight due to slowly filling collector bag. However, mulching is a setting best used for lawn maintenance and not lawn makeover because too many grass clippings on your lawn can damage the healthy grass.

Heavier lawn mowers need a lot of effort to push manually. Mowers like petrol or gas type have larger wheels, and a wider frame due to which having a self-propel feature in their case is really helpful. Before buying, you must check the self-propel feature carefully because moving the mower at a set speed is not suitable for all people. There are mowers available with adjustable self-propel function as well which lets you set your own pace. So, neither you will have to push, nor you have to jog along with the mower.

Ball-bearing wheels are more comfortable to push as compared to bushing-type wheels. You need this option more in a few situations like larger yard, difficult terrain, or while hauling around a bag of clippings (with or without mulched leaves).

High-end lawnmowers brands do offer a few safety features such as you need to insert and turn a child-proof plastic key in the mower to turn the machine on. Another safety feature is a guard around the deck. It prevents small rocks from being flung due to the mower’s blades.

All mowers demand maintenance, but, electric mowers need less maintenance than petrol mowers. You can refer to the user manual for instructions. However, 'once a year' is a good rule for most mowers. Besides, keep the blade sharp enough for better results. The safety feature, like a blade brake clutch, will need to be maintained as well to remain efficient.

What do you prefer while mowing the lawn? Do you like grass clipping falling outside and later sweeping them off manually? Or you are a person of convenience who would rather see them being accumulated in a bag and subsequently, you can dispose of them? The third option is mulching your lawn as that prevent invasions by weeds.
If you are happy to do manual clipping cleaning, a basic mower with primary features will suffice. In the last two cases, you need to look for grass bag and mulching feature respectively.

Besides, they have a few advantages over gas mower such as they are less expensive, quieter, and easy to operate than gas mowers. They are eco-friendly, and you don’t have to worry about dealing with smelly, dangerous gas. However, they have a shorter range of usage as they need either power or battery to operate.

A cordless battery lasts for about five years with regular use. The batteries need replacement when they do not last as long on a single charge or takes longer to charge than they used to. And since a quality electric mower lasts for ten years if properly maintained, so you can expect to purchase a new battery once in the mower’s lifetime.

Electric lawnmowers do not consume much electricity. In fact, they are much more energy-efficient when compared to gas-powered motors. Typically, in the long run, a cordless mower uses the least electricity as it typically charges for less time than it runs. But do not forget that battery needs replacement every five years.

First of all, use any lawn mower for the purpose for which it has been made. Electric lawn mowers should never be used in the rain. Moreover, cutting should be done in the opposite direction of the cord to avoid accidentally mowing of the cable along with the grass.

Reasons behind a lawnmower not starting can be different for different types. For example, a corded electric lawn mower may have a poor connection to the electric socket or the extension cord. A self-propelled mower can have a bad recoil cord. A cordless electric lawn mower might have issues with the battery, or there can be a bad connection between the motor and the lawnmower.

Regular use and potential damage from unseen branches or rocks put mower blades under a lot of stress. A not-so sharp blade cuts unevenly and shreds the tips of grass blades. It results in brown and dry grass. You can ensure blades always remain in good condition with the following points:
Brush off the mower after each use so that debris doesn’t accumulate on the blades.
Sharpen the blade often using a file or grindstone, keeping the blade at a 45-degree angle.
Alternately, you can seek professional help and get the blade to sharpen with a bench grinder.

The EMAX38I from Black+Decker is our new long-distance champ. Had there been a category ‘electric lawn mower for large lawns’ this would have been the comparison winner. EMAX38I is like a big brother of our above two top scorers. But it is worth investing in it only if you have a big lawn to mow.
It has a 1600 W power rating. It is enabled with 20-70 mm cutting height and six cutting height settings, which makes it capable of cutting almost any size and type of grass. Besides, the single 'Soft Touch' lever makes things smoother. Since this is designed for a large lawn, the cutting width is 38 cm, and with 45 litres grass box capacity, you might have to empty the box just once.
It has the best of both world technologies, i.e. e-drive and EdgeMax. We really admire the Intelli-cable management feature because you don’t have to worry about the cable. On the downside, it is a bulky mower, but the integrated carry handle makes it easier to lift and even move around the home.
