Lawn maintenance is the key to maintaining a lush, green lawn and having the right lawn mower to do the job will make it easier to cut each week. Cordless lawn mowers remove the awkwardness of having to constantly move an extension cord out of the mowing path, providing more mowing freedom beyond the reach of an electrical cord. The concern for the environment is another reason for selecting a cordless mower. The no-air emissions of cordless mowers make their use an environmentally responsible way to maintain a lawn. - ConsumerSearch's best reviewed choice for cordless electric lawn mowers is the Toro e-Cycler 20360.
