One of the biggest concerns that most people have about buying electric mowers is that they will give up some of the performance and features that they have grown used to on traditional, gas-powered mowers.

In this electric mulching mowers review, we take a look at the best electric mulching mowers that give you the ability to keep your lawn looking it’s best.

This one has all of the convenience features you’d expect from an electric mower: it’s effortless to start, it has comfortable cushioned grips and a handle height adjustment so it doesn’t matter if you are tall or short.

If this list is starting to look predictable, it’s because you can expect the best from these companies. The Earthwise 50120 is a corded mulching mower that offers the larger 20-inch cutting deck and a 12-amp electric mower. The Earthwise mower also has some additional convenience features such as the the easy keyed electyric start, a cord guard that disconnects the extension cord if it gets snagged on something and the comfortable “V-shape” handle that makes mowing more ergonomic. This mower weighs a bit more than the Black and Decker at 67 pounds and has the normal mowing options as well as bagging or mulching.
One thing that we would recommend with any corded mower purchase is to buy a cord reel. There are a couple different models and they are all fairly inexpensive plus they save you so much time and effort; it’s well worth it.
