The cheapest cordless mowers often look good value until you notice they are sold as the bare tool, with the battery and charger extra. This guide only includes mowers whose listing puts a battery in the box, so what you see is what you need to start mowing. Within that, a budget mower still needs to suit your lawn. Check cutting width against the size of the lawn, look at the lawn area the maker says one charge covers, and see whether a second battery is included. Grass box size decides how often you stop to empty it. This guide compares six battery mowers on cutting width, battery supplied, stated lawn size, grass box and cutting heights, using only what each listing states.
