Keep your lawn looking neat and tidy with this selection of cordless lawn mowers from top brands like Flymo and Einhell.

By Joseph Green

You can fill your garden with a wide range of beautiful flowers, shrubs, and trees, but it’s still going to look tired if your lawn is out of control. There is no amount of water features and hanging baskets that can make up for an ugly lawn.

The first step towards creating an oasis in your garden is to cut the grass. A neat and tidy lawn looks great, and it’s actually pretty easy to achieve. Once you deal with any bare or patchy sections, you just need to make sure that it doesn’t grow too long. For this, all you need is a lawn mower.

There are absolutely loads of options out there for every type of garden and gardener. You can take your pick from a long list of electric, cordless, manual, and petrol devices, and the best model for you will really depend on the size and shape of your lawn (and how often you are going to use it). If you are working with a smaller space, you should probably opt for a cordless lawn mower.

Not only do these devices tend to be lighter and more manoeuvrable, but you also don’t have to worry about navigating a cord as you twist around the garden. The best options provide plenty of battery power with a runtime that lets you cover every corner of your lawn. You will have to charge the batteries from time to time, but you should get plenty of use out of your mower before running low.

If a cordless lawn mower seems like the best option for your garden, you’re in luck. There are absolutely loads of impressive devices out there from some of the biggest gardening brands. To make your decision making process that little bit easier, we have shortlisted a selection of the very best models from names like Yard Force, Flymo, and Einhell.

These are the best cordless lawn mowers in 2020.


Powerful • Cut to edge design • Six position height adjustment • Carry handle • Fully foldable handle

Pretty pricey • Batteries could be better

One of the best cordless lawn mowers with a long list of impressive features.

WORX WG743E.1

This popular lawn mower uses two 4.0Ah batteries simultaneously for extra power and runtime.

The WORX WG743E.1 cordless lawn mower uses two 20V batteries simultaneously, providing extra power and runtime. A dual charger is included with the mower, meaning you can charge both batteries at the same time. 
The Intellicut technology maintains constant cutting power even in dense grass. The mower adjusts its speed and power depending on the grass conditions, which is useful for unruly lawns.
You get the choice of six height settings so you can always get the cut you want, with the ease of a single lever for adjustment. The innovative deck design also enables the WG743E.1 to cut grass close to fencing or walls, leaving a smaller uncut area around the edges. 

Lightweight • Quick charger • Five cutting heights • Rear roller to produce a striped finish

Feels a little flimsy • Reported customer support issues

A strong all-round lawn mower that focuses on ease of use and comfort.

Yard Force LM G32

A powerful, lightweight, and manoeuvrable lawn mower that takes the strain out of cutting the grass.

The Yard Force LM G32 cordless lawnmower is lightweight, manoeuvrable, and designed with comfort and ease of use in mind.
It comes with a powerful 40V/2.5Ah lithium-ion battery that fully charges in just 75 minutes, giving up to 25 minutes of unrestricted mowing. The single lever height adjustment offers five cutting positions, ensuring that you get the ideal cut throughout the seasons.
It’s also fitted with a 30 litre hybrid grass collection bag with full level indicator. It’s designed for free flow of air, compacting the grass clippings for less emptying and longer mowing times.

Quiet • Dual battery gauge • Durable steel deck

Reported difficulty applying for guarantee

A powerful and durable lawn mower that keeps noise to a minimum.

Makita DLM460Z

The brushless motor drive system, soft start technology, and constant speed control keeps noise down.

The Makita DLM460Z cordless lawn mower is powered by two 18V Li-ion LXT slide type batteries supplying a brushless 36V DC motor drive system. This comes with soft start and constant speed control to deliver up to 3,300 rpm and 1,450 watts. The batteries are not included, which is annoying.
The DLM460Z is a three-in-one model for lawn mowing, grass collecting, and mulching. It has a durable steel deck with built-in ball bearings on the axles for added durability, and a single lever for cutting height adjustment.
This impressive device also features a quiet mode, which could be useful if you want to stay friendly with the neighbours.

Five different cutting heights • Lightweight • Compact • Easy to use

Replacement batteries are expensive • Battery life isn’t the best

This straightforward lawn mower gets the job done without fuss.

Flymo Mighti-Mo

Five different cutting heights let you make adjustments throughout the year.

The Flymo Mighti-Mo cordless lawn mower is designed to cut lawns up to 250 square metres on a single charge. That’s about the size of a tennis court, in case you were wondering.
It’s powered by a 40V 2Ah Li-ion battery that is easy to fit, remove, and recharge. One simple lever is used to change the cutting heights, and the removable safety key disables the lawnmower to help prevent accidental starting. It’s a lightweight and compact lawn mower that packs a lot of power into a small frame.
The battery life could probably be a little better, but the convenience of going cordless is worth the wait. 

Universal batteries • Five-stage central cutting adjustment system • Foldable push handle • Filling level displays • Quiet

The GE-CM 33 LI has two powerful 18V 2.0Ah batteries and fast chargers that can be used for any product in the Einhell range. The universal Power X-Change battery system can be used with more than 100 power tools and garden devices. 
The five-stage central cutting adjustment system lets you alter the cutting height easily and quickly. It’s also equipped with a foldable push handle with high-speed clamping levers that can be adjusted in height. The batteries and grass box are equipped with filling level displays so you can keep an eye on things.

Lightweight • Quiet • Mulches your lawn • Versatile batteries • Battery charge lasts

Not the best for cutting short • Could be more powerful

One of the most popular cordless mowers due to its features for lawn health.

The Greenworks Tools G40LM35K2 lawn mower proves that you don’t need a cord to get the job done.
This battery-powered lawn mower has a central cutting height adjustment and a two-in-one function for mulching and mowing. It’s also equipped with a 50 litre grass catcher bag at the rear, with a practical handle making it easy to carry and store. 
The 40V battery doesn’t produce a lot of noise or vibration, but could be more powerful. The batteries can be used for every 40V Greenworks tool, whether in the workshop or in the garden.
