# Best cordless mulching mowers Source: https://mowandedge.co.uk/best/best-cordless-mulching-mower Publisher: Mow and Edge. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://mowandedge.co.uk/how-we-pick A mulching mower chops clippings finely and drops them back into the lawn instead of sending them to a grass box. That means fewer trips to the bin, and the cuttings return to the soil. On a cordless mower, mulching usually works through a plug that closes the chute, or a 3 in 1 deck that can also collect and side discharge. Mulching works best when you cut little and often, so a wide range of cutting heights and enough battery for your lawn in one go both matter. This guide compares six battery mowers that list a mulching option, on cutting width, clipping modes, battery supplied, cutting height range and the lawn size the maker states, using only what each listing says. ## Products ### 1.
