Gas-Powered Lawn Mowers | Large lawns, uneven terrain, heavy grass | 139cc displacement ▲ (meets ISO 817:2016), 2200W power ▲ (exceeds EU energy class 3), 25–75mm cutting height (ISO 21372) | High torque for tough grass, mulching capability, CE EMC EURO-V compliance | Higher emissions, fuel dependency, louder operation (85 dB ▲▲ vs. electric mowers) |
Electric Lawn Mowers | Small to medium lawns, eco-conscious use | 2200W power ▲ (exceeds EU energy efficiency class 3), cordless models (4Ah battery ▲), 43 dB noise (quieter than gas) | Zero emissions, low maintenance, quieter operation | Limited runtime (≤1.5hrs ▲), less power for thick grass, charging dependency |
Manual Push Mowers | Small lawns, eco-friendly users | Ergonomic handle ▲ (complies with OSHA standards), lightweight (≤15kg ▲), no emissions | Zero fuel/maintenance costs, silent operation | Labor-intensive, slow for large areas, limited cutting height adjustment |
Self-Propelled Mowers | Medium to large lawns, reduced effort | Adjustable speed (0.5–3.5 mph ▲), propulsion via engine/electric motor, 30% ▲ traction compared to manual models | Reduces physical strain, handles slopes ▲, efficient for large areas | Higher cost, heavier, requires fuel/electric power |
Reel Lawn Mowers | Fine lawns, golf courses, precise cuts | Blade sharpness: 40+ cuts/inch ▲ (ASTM F2509), 18dB noise ▲▲ (quieter than rotary), 1.5–4cm cutting height | Clean cuts for healthy grass, low maintenance, eco-friendly | Best for short grass, requires frequent blade sharpening, less durable |
Robotic Lawn Mowers | Regular maintenance, automated use | Autonomous navigation ▲ (IEC 60730), GPS mapping, 40dB noise ▲▲, 0.5–2.5 mph speed | Hands-free operation, precise edge-cutting, energy-efficient | High upfront cost, requires flat terrain, may struggle with thick grass |
