Lawn mowers
Cordless lawn mowers
You can reach all corners of the garden, because the lawn mower isn't attached to a power cord.
You have to charge the battery in between or buy extra batteries that you switch.
Electric lawn mowers
A electric lawn mower needs little maintenance and is easy in use.
You always need a socket and an extension cord.
Robot lawn mowers
You don't mow yourself anymore, because the robot lawn mower takes over all the work for you.
Setting up the robot lawn mower can be difficult.
Reel lawn mowers
You're not restricted by sockets, cables, gasoline, or battery charging times.
Long-term mowing is hard and takes longer than with other lawn mowers.
How do you choose a lawn mower?
Which lawn mower suits you best depends on the size of your lawn and the propulsion type. An electric lawn mower is less suitable for a large lawn as you need an extension cord. You have more freedom of movement with a cordless lawn mower. You do need several batteries for a large lawn. There are also robot lawn mowers that mow the lawn for you.

What's mulching?
You can shred mowed grass and blow these grass shreds back onto your lawn with the mulching function. This is called a mulch layer. It protects your grass from heat and reduces growth of weeds. Read more about the advantages of mulching and view all lawn mowers with a mulching function here.
Compare electric and cordless lawn mowers
Electric lawn mowers and cordless lawn mowers look very similar but are actually very different. With an electric lawn mower, you can work continuously but you're bound to an extension cord. You can mow cordlessly and spend less time on maintenance with a cordless lawn mower. A gasoline lawn mower is often more powerful than other models, but needs a lot of maintenance.

Which mowing technique do you need?
The most common mowing technique is a rotary mower. These lawn mowers are suitable for higher grass and uneven surfaces. There are also lawn mowers with a reel mower technique. You roll the reel mower over the grass so the blades can neatly cut the grass. A hover mower looks like a rotary mower, but doesn't have wheels. Instead, it hovers just a bit above the round. These lawn mowers are very maneuverable. Read more about the different mowing technologies before you buy reel lawn mower or electric/cordless lawn mower here.
