I know that a lot of people are keen to move away from petrol mowers now that the dangers of the emissions are well known. However, petrol mowers are renowned for their power and moving over to cordless comes with the worry that you might not be getting the same performance.

While we usually think of petrol mowers when it comes to large lawns, a number of newer electric models are specifically designed for bigger spaces. The Einhell GE-CM Li Power X-Change Dual Cordless Lawn Mower is one such model. This mower is for those who don’t want the fuss of a petrol model, but still have a big lawn to mow. You will need to choose your batteries in line with the size of your lawn. For example, the 4.0Ah battery will handle lawns up to 300 square metres, but Hayter states that it can be used on lawns up to 900m². However, I doubt that this is the case on a single charge even with its adaptable power boost function. Overall, with the right features and specifications, a self-propelled cordless lawn mower can be a great investment for your garden. So, whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly or high-end model, be sure to do your research to find the best self-propelled cordless lawn mower for your needs. The 65 L collection box is the perfect size for big lawns, but there’s also a mulching option, so you can do away with a grass bag altogether if you’d prefer! Petrol lawn mowers are the heaviest of the bunch, often weighing over 30 kg. Electric lawn mowers are lighter, and can weigh as little as 10 kg or less. Having said that, more powerful cordless models can weigh as much as petrol mowers of the same size.In the main, there are two power options for push lawn mowers – electric or petrol and when we look at the electric option, you have the choice of a corded machine or a battery-operated one (cordless). If you’ve got a large garden, you’ll want to be able to mow comfortably for long periods of time. While all the mowers I’ve recommended on this list are self-propelled, this function won’t work when the engine is off. Lugging the full weight of the machine from the garage to the garden can be difficult. Right away, you will notice that this Greenworks 46cm self-propelled mower is a significantly more powerful and effective cordless lawn mower than many of the other tools on the market. Greenworks has gone above and beyond in creating a piece of gardening equipment that is built for heavy duty work, without the need for petrol fumes. Let me introduce you to this Greenworks GD24X2LM46SPK4X. Self-propelled vs push: Self-propelled mowers are more suitable for extensive gardens as they move independently, reducing the physical effort needed. Push mowers may be more budget-friendly but require more exertion.

At 33 kg, this mower is pretty heavy. If you’re after a lightweight model, you may want to choose a different mower.There’s little doubt that this is a diverse and practical piece of equipment and it will become an indispensable companion in large or medium-sized gardens up to 750 square metres, across the country. Main Features This mower has a 53 cm cutting width which ensures it’s exceptionally efficient across large open stretches of lawn. The downside is that it’s less manoeuvrable than those with a narrower cutting width, so this mower is most practical for open areas of lawn, as opposed to gardens with lots of obstacles of flower beds.

Greenworks spend a lot of time promoting the fact that this mower comes with not one, but two powerful 2Ah batteries with 40v of power that make running this machine a delight. The dual-battery nature of the mower means that you are getting a much longer run-time as well as twice the power. So, no matter how tough the challenge, the Greenworks will rise to it.Cordless lawn mowers eliminate any cable restrictions, but the battery life too can be limiting . They offer all the benefits of a corded machine, but will eventually run out of juice. If you’ve got a large lawn, this may happen while you’re in the middle of mowing! Batteries can take hours to recharge. I love how many features the EGO Power+ LM2135-SP has and how easy it is to use. Even if you’ve never mowed a lawn in your life before, you’ll have no problems getting to grips with this one. In my EGO Power+ LM2135-SP review, I’ll be introducing you to all the features you can look forward to from this machine. The ways in which you can mow with this self-propelled tool are endless. There are six easy to adjust cutting heights and a choice of four mowing modes. If it is versatility you are after, you won’t find much else quite as adept as the Empress 41 LI.

Hayter is known for its high-quality equipment and the Hayter Osprey 46 60V cordless mower is no exception. If you have a mid-sized garden and want the power of petrol combined with the convenience of cordless then this is a machine well worth considering.As if that wasn’t enough, this mower comes complete with a phone and cup holder, so you can have your essentials with you while you mow. There is also a safety key that can be removed from the mower so it cannot be started accidentally. This is common on most cordless mowers and is an essential safety feature, particularly around children. Mowing a large lawn can take a long time, and the cutting width can make a big difference. If you’ve got an open, empty stretch of lawn, you’ll want a wider cutting width. This will allow you to mow the lawn in fewer passes with fewer turns required. You’ll complete the lawn much faster. Collection – for the perfect tidy finish, grass cuttings are collected in the large easy empty 55L collection bag.
