With mowing season just around the corner, there is no doubt that many homeowners are in the market for a new lawnmower to replace their old rusty gas models. Whether you care about the environment or not, an electric lawn mower is truly better than gas for the average homeowner with a lawn size of 1/4 acre or smaller. Eliminating pull starts alone is well worth the switch. The question is, how do you find a electric mower that is equivalent to gas in terms of power and price? Below are some excellent cordless mowers that fit this criteria:
Earthwise 60020 20-Inch 24 Volt Cordless Electric

The Earthwise 60020 is a powerful 24 volt cordless electric with plenty of juice for the average lawn. Just as with a regular gas mower, you get 3 in 1 flexibility with either rear bag, side discharge or mulch settings without having to buy extra parts. The 60020 is much lighter than your run of the mill gas mower so it is very easy to push and maneuver. Of course you will also enjoy the silent to noxious fume mowing electrics offer.
If run time is your concern, no need to worry with this model because the average run time is 45-60 minutes, more than enough to finish the job. Best of all, this model is quite affordable and is equivalently priced to your average gas mower.

The Haussmann CLM46NU is a sub $200 electric cordless mower with slightly smaller deck with than the Earthwise. It also omits the side chute so this is either a mulcher or a bagger. Ideal for smaller lawns that can be bagged easily or that can be completed quickly in mulch mode. Max run time on this one is 45 minutes so not quite as good as the Earthwise above. If you have a smaller lawn, you can’t go wrong with this one at this price. Of course you will enjoy all the benefits of electric at a low price.
