Best Lawn Mower 2010

Here are the reviews on some of the best lawn mower according to consumer research. These are from Walk-Behind Mowers - Self-Propelled Lawn Mowers Model

Craftsman 37436

The Best lawn mower in Ride! This is a 7 lb-ft rear wheel drive walk behind lawn mower from Craftsman.

The fixed handle with mower comes with right hand speed control lever.

The drive lever is operated by squeezing the handle and it has been tested by experts to be quite responsive too.

At 93 dbA though this mower can be quite noisy.

The cutting feature of this model, however, is very good and it can deliver a neat cut on your lawn.

The height adjustment on these mowers is also very simple.

Every wheel has a red grip on it. Just pull it up to adjust the cutting height. Once the height is set, just readjust the grip back to the original locked position.

The only problem with this mower though is that the grass does get collected within the deck.

With the grass clippings can also get collected at the mulch plug in the rear. While it does not affect the mowing, it does need regular cleaning.

John Deere JS36

The Best lawn mower in Operation!This is very similar to the previous model and comes with a pivoting top handle.

At 91 dbA, it is not quite but is marginally better than the Craftsman model.

The pivoting handle does moderate the speeds very well. So controlling the mower is not that difficult.

Besides, it does move very freely even when the engine is off.

Typically, it is tougher to manoeuvre the mowers when the engine is not running; however with the JS36, there is negligible rolling resistance. Hence moving it to flatter grounds is a lot simpler.

The starting of the mower is not that tough as you need to pull the starter rope just ones to get it started.

The pivoting lever can raise and lower the cutting deck as desired. This is truly a very well design mower for domestic lawn mowing needs.

The drawback with the design of this model is basically its strength. The top handle control is great for a single cut motion where you are just moving in a single direction.

However in many lawns, mowing is not that simple. One needs to move back and forth to get the prefect cut.

The top handle drive control can become a bit of a problem in that case.

Honda HRX2172VKA

The Best lawn mower in Design! This is one of the better walk behind lawn mower models in the market today.

With 8.3 lb-ft torque and 89 dbA, it is a very powerful, yet quite mower. The rear wheel drive gives the unit a lot of stability in movement.

The fixed handle and thumb speed control make it easy to operate on any lawn surface.

The cutting is made from durable plastic which makes the unit pretty light.

The dome shape also means that they grass clippings can stay inside the dome for mulching too.

Also, the unique design means that grass does not stay stuck in the cutting deck, regardless of whether it is dry grass or wet ones. Even the pile of dead leaves can be mulched with ease.

A large fuel cap means that refuelling the mower is not that tough at all.

Lastly, the air filter can be accessed without using any tools. This means that the maintenance of the model is not that tough at all.

The dual blade cutting system leaves behind a neat and trim lawn. The only flaw that experts find with this model is its deck lift levels. Presently, they are just too small and tough to handle.

Husqvarna 7021R

The Best lawn mower in Power!This model comes with a 160cc engine that delivers 6.9 lb-ft torque.

With 90dbA noise levels, it is a very decent model for the kind of power it delivers.

Like most other lawn mowers this one is also a rear wheel drive mower giving the user a lot of stability in mowing.

Husqvarna mowers are well known for their power and this one is no different.

The mower comes with a choke lever which is very rare in the newer models.

This is a very good model for the colder climates. Just shift the choke and pull the rope, the engine starts to hum almost instantaneously.The choke returns to the original position automatically too.

The speed response to control is very good in this mower though the control bar itself is a bit uncomfortable to handle.

Snapper SPV21675

This model comes with a reasonably powerful 6.75 lb-ft torque engine and the rear wheel drive.

The top handle pivoting gives a lot of control on the movements of the mower.

The unique feature of this lawn mower from Snapper is its Fresh Start technology.

This unit releases a fuel preservative into the gas tank. So one need not look to store the fuel in tanks, but can store it in the mower itself and still be assured of maximum utilisation.

The mower can reach top speeds of 4 miles per hour, so it makes quick work of the entire mowing operation.

The only issue however is the top handle drive. Even this model is great for single direction mowing; if one has to go back and forth multiple times, this unit can get a bit unwieldy.
