Take advantage of end-of-season lawn mower sales and retailers that want to clear out this year’s inventory. It’s faster to cut your lawn with the right mower. Also, it is a great time to buy a mower. Lawnmowers don’t last forever. If you’re looking for deals on this essential lawn care equipment, we’ve found the best cheap lawnmower deals and pressure washer deals available at major retailers.

This article will focus on both walk-behind and robotic lawnmowers. The riding mowers that are not required for lawns less than one-half-acre will be left out. Below are the best lawnmower deals. We then discuss the differences between different mowers, and what each has to offer. You will also find important details and considerations that could be of value in your quest for the perfect lawnmower deal.

When shopping for your new mower, it is important to understand three main factors: yourself, the lawn and features. A mower that can do a full-fledged cardio workout while you mow a half-acre will not be the best choice for someone with a small plot who wants to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

Your lawn: Small lawns of one-tenth of an acre or less typically don’t require large, powerful lawnmowers. A corded electric mower may be enough, as well as a handheld or robotic cordless machine. If you have a large lawn with tough-to-mow grass, steep inclines, and overly moist soil, a more powerful mower is in order. The type of grass in your lawn can matter in your mower choice as well, especially if you have grass such as Bermuda Grass that looks best when cut very short.

Source of power: The section above outlines the differences and advantages of robot, corded and corded electric mowers. A cordless electric mower may not work well if you have narrow, long areas that you need to mow. You could be spending too much time tying power cables.

Deck or cutting pathway width: Mowers with narrow decks make it easier for you to get around obstructions in tight places than mowers with wider decks. Cutting your lawn with a shorter cutting path means that you will need to make more passes. For most lawns, 19-inch to 21-inch mower deck width is a good compromise.

Push or self propelled: Self-propelled mowers are more lightweight, easier to maneuver, and less expensive than push mowers. Self-propelled mowers can be used to remove some or all the effort required for lawns with steep hills and inclines.

There are three main modes of clipping discharge for walk-behind lawn mowers. Bagging, even though you may find it tedious and time-consuming, will give your lawn the cleanest appearance. Side discharge mowers can be used together with lawn sweepers. Mulching, which returns the grass clippings to the lawn where they can add nutrients, is the least complicated and arguably the most environmentally sound way to deal with clippings.

Many lawn mowers offer more than one cut-grass level. Most mowers can have up to three settings. You can choose the height depending on what grass you have or whether you prefer a longer, more lush lawn. The majority of mowers come with one to four levers that raise the cutting blade, or adjust the height of their deck. Some expensive mowers also have powered height adjustments.

Engine power: For regular gas-powered mowers the engine size determines the cutting power, but for self-propelled mowers, it almost goes without saying that the more powerful the engine the smoother your mow will be, especially if you need to go up and down bumps or hills. You should consider anything over 160cc engine as very powerful for a lawnmower.

Self-propulsion – The most efficient gas lawnmowers include self-propulsion technology. That means that your mower can move the wheels. This will not eliminate driving, but it will make it less painful, particularly when going uphill.

Mulching: The more costly lawnmowers can mulch or bag grass cuttings, as well as let them go out to the side. Sometimes the condition of your lawn means it would benefit from mulching, so it’s nice to have the option.

Blade width: the width of the cutting blade determines how many passes it takes to mow your yard. A wider blade, like 22-inches, for example, means you spend less time pushing your lawnmower. It is the rule of thumb that the wider the blade, the more efficient it will be.

Noise level. All internal combustion engine produce noise. But larger engines tend be louder. So if this is an issue then it’s worth looking at a smaller mower with lower noise levels. A quieter model will produce 85 decibels.

Cut height and position: Gas lawn mowers with the highest quality can adjust the height of each blade by turning the knobs at the wheel. Manual adjustment is required for lower models.
