Cordless, self-propelled, are walkers are a few of the many different forms of lawn mowers for sale. The need to maintain a lawn seems simple on the surface, and it’s indeed an easy task. However, there are so many different ways to perform that job that it rapidly stops being so simple. We’ve spent a couple of days researching the numerous types, models, and manufacturers of the humble lawnmower. Here are the lawn mowers for sale that we think stand out and are worth the price-tag on their engines.

It sits on a fine line between being an expensive lawnmower and a cheap one. GLM801601 is another cordless self-propelled battery-powered machine with a 21-inch cutting width and ultra-lightweight; for a lawnmower anyway. The lawnmower comes with bagging capabilities, but can also side-discharge or mulch, depending on your preference.
