Push Lawn Mowers (114 items found)

The right lawn mowers can make yard maintenance quick and easy. Find a variety of self-propelled, gas and electric push lawn mowers to get the job done.

What is a Push Mower?

As the name implies, a push lawn mower must be pushed and guided by someone to operate. They are either completely manual, like reel mowers, or powered by an engine, like a self-propelled lawn mower. Reel mowers are powered by human effort alone and are relatively affordable. If you have a small lawn and don’t mind the effort, their blades offer clean cuts to keep your yard in shape.

Although self-propelled mowers can move independently, they need a human hand to guide them. They are either gas-powered or electric, but not all gas or electric mowers are self-propelled. They are highly convenient for larger properties but require a greater investment than reel mowers.

Gas Push Mowers

Gas mowers are undoubtedly powerful and can run as long as they have fuel in the tank. With hours of mowing capabilities, you should be able to tackle yards of all sizes on a single tank. If you ever need more power, simply refuel where you are, avoiding a lengthy interruption in work.

Be mindful that a gas lawn mower will require regular upkeep and maintenance. And because they’re burning gas, you will have to deal with exhaust fumes as you work. However, compared to battery push mowers, they’re more affordable.

Electric Push Mowers

An electric corded lawn mower can be plugged into an outlet to keep the motor running. These economic models are great for smaller properties and relatively affordable but might require a long extension cord to give you more room.

Battery-powered electric mowers are only limited by the life of their batteries. They are most effective for medium sized lawns and require less maintenance and make less noise than gas-powered models. Find battery powered mowers from EGO and other brands.

Walk-Behind Mower Features

Consider your lawn size, surface level, budget and physical ability when determining which mower works best for you. Look for the following features in our selection of push lawn mowers:

• Engine size: The larger the engine, the tougher the jobs your mower can tackle.
• Weight: Even with self-propelling mowers, weight will determine how easy it is to maneuver your machine.
• Drive control: Some mowers have a metal rod, or bail, that you squeeze against the handle or a lever you push with your thumb. Others have a handle you squeeze like a brake on a bike. 
• Tall rear wheels: These wheels help the mower maneuver easily over rough surfaces.
• Storage convenience: Look for a foldable handle for upright, efficient storage.
• Push-button start: Push-start buttons help limit the start-up hassle of pull-start mowers or keyed-start mowers to get you on the job faster.

What’s more, many mowers come with a rear grass catcher to collect lawn clippings for easier cleanup. Look for rear bag sizes to complement the size of your lawn.
