Which Cordless Mower Is Most Popular?

Are you tired of the hassles and costs of your gas lawnmower? Maybe a wireless lawnmower fits better - just charge the battery, pull the trigger and off you go! No mixing of oil and gas cans anymore and the repeated pulling of the starting line with all power, just to stop a grumpy petrol engine from starting up is a thing of the past.

Cordless technology has changed dramatically in recent years. Early cordless mowers used lead-acid batteries that are heavy, do not store much charge and need many hours to recharge. The latest generation of lithium-ion batteries stores much more charge weighs less than half of the older lead-acid models and can in some cases be fully charged in just 30 minutes.

EGO LM2001 20 "56 V Lithium-Ion Battery Lawn Mower - Our Choice

 The 56V drive and 20 "deck width make it easy to work on your lawn.

You can mow at any time of the day or night, thanks in part to the integrated LED headlights and the significantly lower noise level of the mower than a comparable gas-powered mower (according to the manufacturer 30% quieter).

It has a 3-in-1 operation (mulching, bagging or using the side ejection).

There are 5 cutting heights, which can be adjusted with a single lever in equal increments from 30 mm to 90 mm (1 3/16 "to 3 ½").

The LM2001 can be quickly folded up for storage - when folded, it takes up very little space in your shed or garage. If (as with me) your dandruff becomes tight on a good day, the EGO alone is ahead of its competitors by this feature.

Greenworks 25302 Twin Force Cordless Mower

The Greenworks 25302 Reviews Battery Mower is an unusual design. Although it looks conventional, the name "Twin Force" gives an indication of the different design directions Greenworks took.

Instead of a single large blade, the 25302 is equipped with two cutting blades, each rotating in opposite directions. Each knife is powered by its own electric motor. The 25302 also comes with two lithium-ion batteries that can be used together or separately, allowing you to install one on the mower and charge one at a time.
Greenworks claims the twin-blade concept offers "better cut quality, superior mulching, and bagging capabilities". It is discussed if this is true. On the one hand, there is a lot of criticism on the part of the user that this mower lacks the occasional blade of grass, where the two knives meet almost in the middle, which leads to several transitions or has to overlap. get a clean cut. The high blade speed is very important for a good, clean cut. If all other factors are equal, a 10-inch blade tip will move slower than a 20-inch blade. However, some users point out that the problem is mainly when mowing wet grass. If you make sure that the grass is dry when mowing, the problems disappear.

Black & Decker CM2043C 40V Cordless Lawnmower

Like the Greenworks 25302, the Black & Decker CM2043C comes with 2x 40V lithium-ion batteries. However, at 5.0 Ah, the total capacity of these batteries is slightly lower than the 6.0 Ah Greenworks mower. Unlike the Greenworks mower, the CM2043C uses only one battery at a time. However, you can store the second battery in the mower, so you do not have to search for it when the first battery is empty. In my opinion, this is a stupid thing - if the first battery is empty, you want to charge it immediately, and the second battery is most likely already on the charger, so you have not spared any travel - all you have achieved is to tow the weight of the second battery on the mower without reason ...

The CM2043C is a more conventional single-blade mower than the Greenworks mower. It has nothing to do with the problem the 25302 is struggling with, with the occasional lack of blades of grass in the middle of the cut path. In some situations, however, problems may occur that the EGO LM2001 goes through, suggesting that the CM2043C uses a less powerful motor.

Conclusion

The main error with this mower is the charging time. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge an empty battery. With the supplied charger, you can always charge only one battery. While this is faster than the older generation of rechargeable battery mowers could be charged with lead-acid batteries, it is not competitive compared to modern alternatives.
