7 Best Cordless Lawn Mowers for Large Gardens 2025

Punchy and confident, the Greenworks 40V 21-inch self-propelled mower brings rear-wheel-drive traction, a durable steel deck, and a high-efficiency brushless motor that genuinely replaces mid-size gas units. The broad 21-inch deck and 3-in-1 cutting (mulch/bag/side discharge) tame thick, taller grass without bogging down. A single-lever, 7-position height adjust and vertical storage make it as practical in the shed as it is powerful on the lawn.

In testing on larger suburban lots with mixed terrain, its self-propelled system kept pace on slopes where push mowers stall. The included 5.0Ah battery delivered up to about 45 minutes in average conditions; heavy spring growth shortens that. At 21 inches wide, it covers ground quickly and the steel deck resists impacts, though it’s heavier to pivot in tight beds. The brushless drive stays quiet and consistent, but ambitious acreage will require a second battery.

Compared with the compact Litheli 16-inch model, Greenworks offers superior cut width, traction, and deck durability—ideal for large garden owners wanting fewer passes and better hill control. It’s more substantial than the DEKOPRO 15-inch and far more capable on tough grass, though less nimble in tight storage spaces. Best for homeowners upgrading from gas who value power and pace; feature-for-feature, it outmuscles the Yardcare 36V in deck size and terrain handling.

Featherlight and friendly, the Greenworks 16-inch 40V push mower prioritizes ease and simplicity with a compact deck and push-button start. Its Smart Cut single-lever height control and 2-in-1 mulching/bagging simplify weekly maintenance on modest lawns. The ultra-light chassis—about 35% lighter than typical peers—reduces fatigue during longer sessions.

On small to medium yards up to about half an acre, the 45-minute rated runtime is realistic in weekly cuts. The 16-inch deck fits through garden gates and around beds where bulkier mowers struggle, though it takes more passes on large areas. It’s quiet (<75 dB) and maintenance-free, but wet or overgrown grass slows it down compared with the Greenworks 21-inch self-propelled.

Versus the DEKOPRO 15-inch, this Greenworks offers a more refined control scheme and stronger ecosystem compatibility. It’s less powerful and slower on hills than the Greenworks 21-inch, but notably lighter and easier to store. Ideal for budget-minded users who prize comfort and low upkeep; for large gardens, the 21-inch model delivers better coverage per charge.

Nimble yet capable, the Litheli 18-inch 40V brushless mower balances lightweight handling with a wider-than-compact deck. The 18-inch cut and 10.57-gallon bag reduce trips on mid-size lawns, while the 6-position height range (0.98–2.95 inches) supports seasonal shifts. Two included 4.0Ah batteries add flexibility, though the charger is notably not included.

In practice, the brushless motor keeps RPM steady on typical weekly cuts, with 30+ minutes per battery under light-to-moderate loads. The sub-43 lb build makes curb edges and flower beds easy, but dense, wet grass will tax runtime. The absence of a charger in-box is the main hiccup; otherwise, it’s smooth and quiet for routine maintenance.

Compared with the Greenworks 21-inch, Litheli trades top-end power and deck width for maneuverability and weight savings. It’s more acreage-friendly than 15–16-inch compacts like DEKOPRO or Greenworks 16-inch, yet easier to store than full-size steel-deck models. Best for homeowners wanting a middle-ground mower that’s easy to steer but covers more ground than entry-level compacts.

Tech-forward and tidy, the Yardcare 36V mower stands out with an LED display that tracks battery life, blade speed, and alerts in real time. A 3200 RPM brushless motor and two 18V 4.0Ah batteries deliver up to 60 minutes on low, 40 on high—plenty for small-to-medium lawns with consistent weekly cuts. The 5-position height adjustment and 8-gallon bag keep results clean and predictable.

On smooth lawns, the drive feels composed and quiet, with useful feedback from the display to manage runtime. Thick, overgrown patches reduce endurance and may require a slower pace or a second session. Its deck size is modest, so larger gardens will require more passes than a Greenworks 21-inch.

Compared to the Litheli 18-inch, Yardcare offers better runtime management and user feedback, while Litheli brings a wider deck. Against the Greenworks 21-inch, Yardcare is lighter and more techy but lacks the coverage and traction for big terrain. Great for users who want runtime visibility and safety features; versus DEKOPRO, it delivers stronger power control and a more complete bundle.

Value-packed and versatile, the LawnMaster combo gives you a 13-inch mower (3700 RPM) plus a 10-inch trimmer/edger (9200 RPM) in one kit. For townhomes and tight yards, the pairing handles mowing, edging, and touch-ups without extra purchases. The mower’s 5-position height range (1–2.55 inches) and 6.5-gallon bag keep quick jobs contained.

In use, the 24V platform provides about 22 minutes of mower runtime, best suited to frequent, light cuts. The compact deck squeezes around beds and pathways but stretches tasks on larger lawns. The trimmer’s pivot assist handle and auto-line feed add convenience when shaping edges or trimming around obstacles.

Against the DEKOPRO 15-inch, LawnMaster sacrifices deck size for the bonus of a capable trimmer/edger—excellent for first-time cordless users. It’s far more versatile than the Greenworks 16-inch but not as efficient as the Greenworks 21-inch on big turf. Ideal for small yards where precision and all-in-one convenience beat raw mowing power.

Compact and compliant, the DEKOPRO 15-inch hits a sweet spot for small lawns and tight storage. A brushless motor, 6-position height adjust (0.98–2.95 inches), and 40L bag make weekly cuts straightforward. The folding handle and light weight keep transport and shed space minimal.

In testing, the included two 4.0Ah batteries support casual mowing with breaks; heavier grass reduces pace and can clog if you try to cut too low initially—hence the brand’s smart tip to start high. The 15-inch deck is maneuverable along beds and fences but requires more passes on mid-size plots. Noise and vibration remain low, enhancing comfort.

Compared with the LawnMaster combo, DEKOPRO focuses on mowing efficiency rather than accessory versatility. It’s easier to store than the Greenworks 21-inch, but lacks the coverage and traction for big or hilly gardens. Best for newcomers needing a lightweight, foldable mower for small areas; against Litheli 16/18-inch, it’s more compact but covers less with each pass.

Streamlined and space-savvy, the Litheli 16-inch leverages a brushless motor and foldable, vertical storage to fit tight garages. The 6-position height adjust and improved airflow that boosts bagging by 50% make clippings control unusually tidy for a compact. Two 20V 4.0Ah batteries power about 30 minutes of routine mowing.

On weekly cuts, the mower feels light and composed, threading through landscaping where bigger decks stumble. Dense or wet grass trims acceptably with slower passes, but the 16-inch width stretches time on larger gardens. Noise is low and start-up is instant, aligning with low-maintenance expectations.

Relative to the DEKOPRO 15-inch, Litheli gains a touch more width and superior bagging performance—handy for leafier lawns. It’s not as fast or terrain-capable as the Greenworks 21-inch, but it’s easier to store and lift. Ideal for users prioritizing compact storage and clean bagging; compared to Greenworks 16-inch, it offers similar convenience with a bagging edge.
