The Best Electric Lawn Mowers

There are 10 electric lawn mowers on the American market that claim to be worth your money. Our editorial team purchased and tested every one of them through the same retail channels available to our readers — Amazon, major national retailers, and manufacturer direct sales — to determine which ones actually deliver on their promises. Most performed adequately for basic use. Several were significantly worse than their price tags and marketing copy would lead American consumers to believe.

EGO LM2135SP by EGO is the product our editorial team recommends after six weeks of structured, controlled evaluation. It earned the highest overall score by a margin wide enough to represent a genuine difference in everyday performance for American households. Below, we present exactly how our editorial team arrived at this recommendation, what alternatives merit consideration, and what factors American consumers should prioritize when evaluating products in this category.

Our evaluation methodology has been refined over three years of continuous product testing. We use calibrated measurement equipment alongside subjective panel evaluations to capture both objective performance data and the real-world experience that data represents. Every score we publish is directly comparable to every other score in our database.

How Our Editorial Team Evaluated

Our editorial testing methodology follows a standardized protocol refined over more than fifty product evaluations in this category. Each of the 10 products was evaluated across five criteria — performance, durability, ease of use, power, value — using a combination of objective measurement and subjective panel assessment at our testing facility.

On the objective side, we used calibrated measurement equipment to quantify performance differences difficult to detect through casual use. These measurements form the backbone of our scoring system and ensure recommendations are grounded in data rather than first impressions.

Our editorial panelists used each product for a minimum of two weeks as their primary option, integrating each product into their normal daily routine and scoring based on actual experience rather than initial impressions.

After comprehensive evaluation, EGO LM2135SP by EGO earned an overall score of 9.4 out of 10 — the highest in this evaluation cycle. Its strongest scores came in performance (9.5) and durability (9.2), both exceeding the category average by a meaningful margin.

Build quality deserves special mention. Over the full testing period, EGO LM2135SP showed no meaningful degradation. The materials and construction are robust enough for sustained daily use by American families.
