Why They Are The Best Selling

The lawnmowers listed here are the best rated for the following reasons:

• Consumer Ratings
• Product Features
• Operation

It’s important for potential buyers of a lawn mower to have access to customer ratings and reviews. Included are the product features and how they operate over all. Each mower is good for specific types of terrain, grass thickness, grass type and size of yard. Once you know these, you can narrow in on the model that is best for your mowing needs. Some of the models we recommend are self-propelled and others are walk behind push.

The wider the cutting width, the more costly the mower. Some mowers allow bagging of the clippings. However, the cost of the accessory is extra and not included in the price of the mower. However, some models do come with the rear catcher and mulching kit which is included in the cost of the mower.

Before buying, take the time to read the customer reviews and frequently asked questions. This will provide you with additional information on what others are saying about the mower and confirm if you want to buy it.

Product Features

The features for each mower will vary from model to model. Generally, the higher the engine power in cc’s the more costly the mower. Some models have self-propelled features and will cost more than those mowers that do not have it. It’s important ahead of time you know which features you really need so you can compare them with other similar models.

Lawn Mower Safety Tips

General Safety Tips

Below are some general safety tips for mowing grass.

• Always make sure someone knows where and when you are mowing, whether it’s your parents, spouse, or a friend. If you get injured and can’t move or tell anyone, they will know where to find you.
• Always check your lawn before you mow. Look for items such as sticks, rocks, toys, wire, and other objects can shatter and be thrown if they are run over by the lawn mower.
• Look for holes in the lawn so you do not step in them and twist your ankle.
• Always make sure children and pets are not in the lawn while you are mowing. They usually do not understand the dangers associated with lawn mowers.
• Never mow the lawn when it’s dark outside the reason being is you need to be able to see where you are mowing so you don’t run over anything.
• Always wear sunscreen on sunny days while mowing lawns as the effects of the sun is more damaging to your skin than you think.
• Always drink plenty of water before, during and after mowing lawns. Lawn mowing is a physically demanding activity and your body will not function properly without plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
• Never mow on wet grass. Wet grass is slippery. You could fall and slip under the mower and incur an injury.
• Never mow a lawn while it is lightning or thundering. If you can see lightning or hear thunder while you are in the middle of mowing your lawn, abandon your mower and get inside. Your safety should always come first.
• Wear protective safety glasses when mowing.

Grass Cutting Method

Before you begin to mow, you will have to make a decision on which method of mowing you prefer when cutting the lawn. There are three types and they are: mulching, side shoot, or collect clippings using a catcher. Many of the newer models come with these options. You will also need to decide on a pattern when mowing your lawn.

Mulching

One advantage of using the mulch option is that the clippings will act as a fertilizer which is good for your lawn. As you mow the clippings stay where they are. Using this option you will not have to rake or collect any of the clippings.

Using the side shoot option will allow the grass to be mowed and the clippings will be discharged via the side shoot. After you have completed mowing, you will have to rake them up and can save them as mulch or place them in the proper container for disposal based upon your local ordinances.

Using The Catcher

Using the catcher option will allow you to mow and the clippings will be discharged in the catcher that is attached behind the mower. You can save the clippings as mulch for later use or you can empty the catcher contents in a container for proper disposal based upon your local ordinances.

Lawn Mower Wont Start

There are some basic reasons why a lawn mower may not start. It’s generally at the beginning of the mowing season when you bring the lawn mower out of storage that this problem comes up and it’s very frustrating. Below are some handy tips for some causes of why a lawn mower may not start.

1. Old Gas. If you failed at the end of the prior mowing season to empty the gas out of the mower, this could be the problem. Drain out all of the old gas. Check the spark plug to ensure that it is not wet. If not, fill the tank with fresh gas. Try starting the mower. It may take some extra pulls.
2. Air Filter Is Dirty. Check that the air filter is cleaned. If not, clean it or replace it with a new one.
3. Spark Plug Is Wet. The lawn mower will not start if the spark plug is wet. You will need to clean the plug by removing it from the engine. Clean the plug using carburetor cleaner and let it dry. Reinstall the spark plug and try restarting.
4. Fuel Filter Is Clogged. If the fuel filter is clogged it will not let gas flow properly through the carburetor. Remove the old one and install a new fuel filter. Try restarting.
5. Check The Carburetor. The last of these handy tips is checking the carburetor for any corrosion. If there is some, it needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that inlet needle is stuck when the carburetor bowl is empty. Check to determine if this is your problem. You will need to replace the inlet needle and seat. However, before you replace these parts, check to determine if there is no corrosion on the carburetor. If not, replace the parts. If yes, replace the carburetor.
6. Build Up of Clippings and Debris. Clean the underside of the mower deck.
