$711
Top pick — the aluminium chassis, reinforced axles and four-blade system form a durable commercial push mower. Contractor testing found it maintained power through thick, wet grass.

$802
A 52 cm steel deck and four supplied 5.2 Ah batteries equip it for larger lawns. Comparison testing measured up to 800 m² of coverage, though the 29.48 kg chassis is cumbersome.
