Mower Buying Guide — Find the Right Machine
📏 Step 1: Measure Your Lawn
| Lawn Size | Type | Cutting Width |
|---|---|---|
| Under ¼ acre | Push / electric | 17"–21" |
| ¼ – ½ acre | Self-propelled | 21"–22" |
| ½ – 1 acre | Riding mower | 30"–42" |
| 1 – 3 acres | Zero-turn | 42"–54" |
| 3+ acres | Zero-turn / lawn tractor | 54"+ |
⛰️ Step 2: Consider Your Terrain
- Flat lawn: push mower is fine
- Slopes: self-propelled (rear-wheel drive is best on hills)
- Obstacles (trees, beds): zero-turn offers the best maneuverability
⚙️ Step 3: Power Type
| Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | Most power, no cords, long runtime | Noise, maintenance, fuel cost |
| Battery/Electric | Quiet, low maintenance, eco-friendly | Runtime limits, less power |
| Corded Electric | Affordable, lightweight | Cord limits range |
| Ride-on | Fast for large lawns | Higher price, storage space |
🔧 Step 4: Key Features to Look For
- Cutting height adjustments — more range = more flexibility
- Mulching, bagging & side discharge — 3-in-1 decks are versatile
- Electric start — no pull cord
- Washout port — easy deck cleaning
- Warranty — look for [2+ years]
