Comparison tests show that the new 36-volt Toro e-Cycler 20360 cuts moreevenly than its competitors, and its high dome mulches clippings well. The e-Cycler 20360's 20-inch cutting path speeds mowing and a fast charger make it usable again in three hours. The Toro e-Cycler is ideal for small, flat lawns, but if you need a self-propelled cordless mower that can use extra batteries for longer run time, consider the 48-volt Ryobi RY14110 (*Est. $400), which mulches well but doesn't cut as evenly as the Toro.

Best Cordless lawn mower: Black & Decker CMM1200
Written by admin on March 27, 2010 – 10:01 pm -Best Cordless Lawn Mower Black & Decker CMM1200 Est. $400 According to reviews, the cordless Black & Decker CMM1200 actually does a better job than most corded electric mowers, mulching more effectively and cutting more evenly (bagging isn't its strong suit, though a bag is… included).

Written by admin on August 17, 2009 – 5:12 pm -Tips on picking the right mower to keep your lawn trimmed. By Alan J.
