Grass cutting score – catcher View more details.We test mowers for cutting short- and medium-length grass with a catcher, and long grass without a catcher. Our testers also rate the appearance of the grass after the short and medium-grass tests.
Grass cutting score – mulching View more details.For the mowers that have a mulcher mode, our tester cuts short- and medium-length grass and assesses the appearance of the lawn after the short and medium grass cutting tests. This is part of the Choice Expert Rating for these models.
Ease of use score View more details.Based on: vibration through the handle bar, ease of pushing and manoeuvring, handle comfort, convenience of controls, ease of cutting height adjustment, catcher convenience, and power source.
Vibration score View more details.How uncomfortable the handles are to hold based on the amount of vibration coming through the handles.
Pushing score View more details.How difficult the mower is to push and manoeuvre.
Handle score View more details.How easy the handles are to use and grip.
Controls score View more details.How easy the controls are to use including pull levers, pull bars and safety switches.
Height adjustment score View more details.How easy it is to adjust the cutting height.
Power source score View more details.The ease of using the power source (battery or electric power cord). Battery models usually score higher than corded models because of the convenience.
Catcher score View more details.How easy the catcher is to attach, detach, the opening and what it's made of.
Battery life (min) View more details.Using the battery supplied, otherwise a battery recommended by the manufacturer.
Noise at 7.5 metres (dB) View more details.The noise level at a distance of 7.5m from the mower.
Noise at user's position (dB) View more details.The noise level measured at the operator's ear level.
Max lawn size (m2) View more details.We time how long the battery takes to run down completely from a full charge, with the mower running but not under load (i.e. not cutting grass). Based on the width of the mower's cut and assuming our tester can mow 50m of short grass in one minute, we calculate the total area it can cut on a full charge. The actual area will vary depending on the length of grass, slope of the ground, age of the battery and so on.
Year tested View more details.Tests from 2019 and onward are not directly comparable to earlier tests, due to changes in the test site. However, a model that performs well at one site would be expected to perform similarly well at another site.

Satisfaction score View more details.
These scores are taken from our product reliability survey and do not add to the overall score. They also refer to the brand, not a particular model. We ask owners to tell us what they think of the products they own, then give each brand a satisfaction rating so you can see what people who already own this brand lawnmower think of them. "Not available" indicates we received fewer than 50 responses, which isn't enough to be statistically significant.
Reliability score View more details.These scores are taken straight from our brand reliability survey, but do not add to the overall score and refer to the brand only, not that particular model. "Not available" means we received fewer than 50 responses for this brand, which is not enough to be statistically significant.
Warranty (years) View more details.Warranty periods for the mower itself and for the motor may be different, so we've listed them both where appropriate.
