The full ranking

1
Best cordless

EGO Power+ LM2135E

9.1Our number one pick.

EGO's 56V cordless mower is the one to beat for most gardens, with petrol-like power, a long-running battery and a self-propelled drive that makes light work of medium-to-large lawns. It is pricey and the battery adds weight, but it is quiet, clean and brilliantly capable.

Performance: 9.2Handling: 9.0Build: 9.0Value: 8.6
Pros
  • Petrol-like cordless power
  • Long battery run-time
  • Self-propelled and quiet
Cons
  • Pricey
  • Battery adds weight
2
Best petrol

Honda HRG416

9.0A superb runner-up.

Honda's legendary reliability shines in the HRG416, a smooth, powerful petrol mower that handles long and damp grass with ease and should run for years. It needs fuel, oil and more maintenance than cordless, but for big or rough lawns it is superb.

Performance: 9.4Handling: 8.8Build: 9.2Value: 8.4
Pros
  • Powerful, reliable engine
  • Great on long or damp grass
  • Built to last
Cons
  • Petrol maintenance
  • Noisy and heavier
3
Best self-propelled value

Mountfield S421R PD

8.6Rounds out our top three.

The Mountfield S421R PD pairs a reliable engine with rear-wheel drive and a roller for striped lawns at a sensible price, a great mid-size petrol all-rounder. It is heavier and needs petrol upkeep, but it cuts beautifully.

Performance: 8.6Handling: 8.4Build: 8.4Value: 8.8
Pros
  • Rear roller for stripes
  • Self-propelled
  • Reliable engine
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Petrol maintenance

Best for small gardens

Bosch CityMower 18

8.6A standout in the upper half.

The CityMower 18 is ideal for small gardens, a light, quiet battery mower that shares batteries with Bosch's wider Power for All range. It is not for large or rough lawns, but for tidy small spaces it is easy and affordable.

Performance: 8.4Handling: 9.0Build: 8.4Value: 9.0
Pros
  • Light and quiet
  • Shared battery system
  • Great for small lawns
Cons
  • Small cutting width
  • Limited run-time
5
Best value petrol

Hyundai HYM510SPE

8.5A well-rounded mid-table pick.

The Hyundai HYM510SPE offers a wide 51cm cut, self-propulsion and electric start at a price well below premium petrol mowers, great for larger lawns on a budget. Build is less refined than Honda, but the value is excellent.

Performance: 8.8Handling: 8.4Build: 8.2Value: 9.0
Pros
  • Wide cut and self-propelled
  • Electric start
  • Great value
Cons
  • Less refined than premium
  • Petrol upkeep

Best robot

Flymo EasiLife 350 GO

8.5Great value in the middle of the pack.

The EasiLife 350 GO robot mower quietly keeps small-to-medium lawns trimmed on a schedule with simple setup, freeing your weekends. It needs a perimeter wire and is for tidy lawns, but the convenience is wonderful.

Performance: 8.4Handling: 9.0Build: 8.4Value: 8.6
Pros
  • Hands-off scheduled mowing
  • Quiet
  • Simple setup
Cons
  • Needs a perimeter wire

7
Best corded

Bosch UniversalRotak 2

8.4A dependable pick if the price is right.

The corded UniversalRotak is light, cheap and always ready with no battery to charge, ideal for small-to-medium lawns near a socket. The cable is a faff and limits range, but for value and simplicity it is great.

Performance: 8.4Handling: 8.4Build: 8.2Value: 9.0
Pros
  • No battery to charge
  • Light and cheap
  • Reliable
Cons
  • Cable is a faff
  • Range limited by lead

Best wire-free robot

WORX Landroid Vision

8.3Solid, if outshone by pricier rivals.

The Landroid Vision uses a camera to navigate without a boundary wire, a big convenience upgrade over older robots, and handles larger lawns. It is pricey and camera navigation can struggle in odd layouts, but the no-wire setup is the future.

Performance: 8.2Handling: 8.8Build: 8.4Value: 8.2
Pros
  • No boundary wire needed
  • Handles larger lawns
  • Quiet
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Camera nav can struggle

8.1A budget-friendly option worth a look.

Performance: 8.0Handling: 8.6Build: 8.0Value: 9.0
Pros
  • Affordable cordless
  • Light and easy
  • Shared batteries
Cons
  • Short run-time

Best for slopes

Flymo Hover Vac 250

The classic Flymo hover mower floats on a cushion of air, making it brilliant for awkward shapes and slopes where wheeled mowers struggle. It is corded, small and basic, but for banks and tricky lawns it is uniquely handy.

Performance: 7.8Handling: 9.0Build: 7.8Value: 9.0
Pros

  • Very light
  • Cheap
Cons
