Solaris S21HB Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

It’s time for another great lawn mower review from your favorite lawn mower review guy! This time I’ll be talking about the Solaris S21HB Electric Lawn Mower. I must say, this is a particularly sexy looking lawn mower, if it were a bright pearl color, it would look like it could be related to EVE from Wall-E. Of course, this is an electric lawn mower, so you have all the advantages that come with a battery powered lawn mower including not having to buy gas, change oil, or buy and change spark plugs and filters. Why do I mention the advantages of electric mowers every electric lawn mower review? Simple. Not everyone who visits the site is going to read all my lawn mower reviews like you did!

One thing I want to mention is that the Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower can be powered by a solar panel. The panels themselves cost about $200 bucks, so factor that in to your buying decision. But, the cool factor of a solar powered lawn mower is well worth the money in my opinion. The batteries themselves will take about 3 days worth of sun if you’re charging them with a solar panel. Come to think of it, the solar panel would be more show than utilitarian.

If you’re wondering how long the batteries last, they’ll go for about 10,000 square feet on a full charge. That’s just shy of a 1/3rd of an acre. That means you’ll be able to cut your small to medium sized lawn on a single charge. Oh, there’s also an LED battery level indicator that will let you know how close to death the battery is. That should enable you to speed up your mowing and get what you NEED done before the Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower poops out on you. Very useful feature indeed.

The Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower can also be adjusted for cutting height. It can cut between 1.5” and 3.5” with 7 different positions. I’ve seen lawn mowers with greater range, but really, 7 different settings between 1.5” and 3.5” is really nothing to complain about, but I will. Solaris, please give me 10 different settings if you decide to upgrade this model in the future. Thank you very much.

Overall, the Solaris S21HB Lawn Mower is one of the better lawn mowers out there. It comes with two, count ‘em, two batteries. That means you’re getting quite a bit for your money considering most electric lawn mowers include just one battery. You can use one and charge the other! I really like that feature and this alone makes it an electric lawn mower worth buying!

Black and Decker LM175 Electric Lawn Mower

Hello Readers,

I thought I would keep my review of the Black and Decker LM175 Electric Mower because it’s late and it’s a very well made, inexpensive lawn mower. Quick and simple best describes this Electric Lawn Mower. Real quick, the Black and Decker LM175 Electric Lawn Mower has an 18” cutting path. That’s amazing considering I’ve seen cutting paths as small and pathetic as 14”. Really, that’s a lot more than I expected from an electric mower under $150. That’s even cheaper than most gas powered lawn mowers! Oh, it can also adjust cutting height and only weighs about 35 pounds.
In short, if you have a small lawn and very small budget the Black and Decker LM175 Electric Lawn Mower is definitely for you!

Lawn Boy 10640 Gas Powered Lawn Mower

Hello Readers,

Well, I’ve mostly talked about electric powered lawn mowers, but I’m finally breaking with tradition and brining you a review of the Briggs and Stratton Gas Powered Lawn Mower. Gas powered lawn mowers are generally much less expensive than their electric lawn mower counterparts and deliver a great deal more power, however they take quite a bit more maintenance to keep in tip top shape. There is oil, gas, and filters to worry about buying and replacing when you purchase a gas mower. Okay, that does it for my brief intro to Gas Mowers, on with my review of the Lawn Boy 10640 Gas Powered Lawn Mower.

First off it comes with a powerful 6.5 GT 650 Series Briggs and Stratton Engine. It starts up with little ease. I suppose the main advantage to the Lwan Boy 10640 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is price. Price was the main factor involved in building this lawn mower. If you’re looking for a cheap gas powered lawn mower you’re not going to find anything much more reliable for less than $250 bucks anywhere, unless you find some sucker at a yard sale willing to part with his almost new lawn mower for fifty bucks for some reason. Ahhh, I love taking advantage of suckers….I mean, good deals.
A lot of gas powered mowers lack a mulching option. Not so with the Lawn Boy 10640 Gas Powered Mower. It’s equipped with a 3 function cutting system with the option to spit out clippings on the side, mulch or mutiliate them so you don’t have to rake up large unsightly chunks, or simply direct the clippings in to the catch bag that’s included with the lawn mower.

Oh, did I mention the lawn mower is covered for two years from any and all defects? Yeah, two whole years! Sounds like a good deal to me, especially when it’s retailing for a fairly low price of $239!

Worx ECO WG780 Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

Well, it looks like its time for another Worx Electric Lawn Mower Review. Today I bring you a review of the Worx ECO WG780 Electric Lawn Mower. Worx is one of those companies that does it’s best to be environmentally friendly and help it’s customers be as kind to the environment as well. To that end, Worx as developed one of the better Electric Lawn Mowers on the market today so you don’t have to use a carbon powered gas guzzling lawn mower.

Let’s start off with what I like about this lawn mower. First, the Worx ECO WG780 Lawn Mower cuts more than an acre’s worth of lawn with a single battery charge. That’s about 10% more than other electric lawn mowers in the same price range. How Worx does it? I don’t know. All I do know is that it works and works better than most other electric lawn mower batteries.

Like all good mowers, the Worx ECO WG780 Electric Lawn Mower has three functions, it can mulch, which basically means it chews the clippings up twice so they’re small, discharge clippings on the side, or collect clippings in a collection bag. The collection bag is kind of located strange place, but a few mowing sessions with this mower and you’ll get the hang of things.

One thing I really like is the ergonomically designed handle. Ergonomics is the study of what’s comfortable to the body. Basically, Worx has made the handle of the ECO WG780 Mower as human-friendly as possible so your hands don’t hurt afterwards. Sorry robots, you’ll have to look for another lawn mower.

One thing I definitely don’t like is the price. I would like to see the price dropped about $30 bucks to be a little more competitive with a couple other Black and Decker Electric Mowers, but hey, I guess the good stuff is always going to cost you more money. Overall, this is a well made lawn mower for people with small to medium sized lawns and you’ll get a lot of miles out of it.

Black and Decker CMM1200 Cordless Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

I have another excellent review for you tonight. It’s been a great summer so far and I’ve gotten a good corn yield this year! I’ll be testing some of that home grown corn tomorrow night at my first “barbecue slash get together”. I really wish I had a banner that said that, would make me so much cooler. Anyway, the Black and Decker CMM1200 Cordless Electric Lawn Mower is one of the more popular electric lawn mowers on Amazon.

I really don’t know why this electric lawn mower is as popular as it is. There are better options out there, pretty much any of the Neuton Electric Lawn Mowers offer more power and options, albeit for a higher price tag, but there are some cost effective Neuton Electric Lawn Mower models if you look and read my reviews.

However, there are some things I do like about the Black and Decker CMM1200 Electric Lawn Mower, for instance it can mow about a 1/3 acre worth of lawn on a single battery charge. That’s quite a bit and should be just enough staying power to get through anything you would be buying this lawn mower for. (For bigger lawns I definitely recommend a traditional gas mower. Yes, they take more maintenance, but you can’t beat the power they deliver!)

The Black and Decker CMM1200 does come up a little short in a few areas. First of all, the battery takes forever to charge. It will take as many as four hours to get a 70% charge and you’ll have to wait a whole extra day to cut your lawn if you want to charge the thing all the way. Well, maybe not if you start cutting your lawn at sunrise, but still 5 hours or more to charge a battery is simply way too much! Also, I don’t like the short cutting height range. I’m just the kind of guy that likes extra options just in case I need or want to do something different. Options are good!
Over all, this is a great lawn mower if you have a small lawn for a condo or an apartment or something, but it’s definitely not for people like me that have a huge backyard to mow. Simply put, great for small lawns, bad for large lawns.

Earthwise 60120 Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

Here’s my last review for the day then it’s off to take care of my own gardening needs. Here is the last of the Earthwise 60120 Electric Lawn Mowers and a full review.

This Earthwise Electric Lawn Mower is equipped with a removable battery pack that can be charged while in place or removed. Once again, I like lawn mowers that give me options and having the option to bring the battery inside my house to charge may sound like a weird thing to admire, but some of us don’t have outlets outside our home!

Like just about every lawn mower in the electric category, the Earthwise 60120 Electric Lawn Mower has catch bag and mulching system built in. It’s useful for people who don’t have room for a mulch pile too because you can crunch your clippings down and stuff more in to your trash can. It will also break up your waste much faster leaving less pollution in the landfill.

The Earthwise 60120 Electric Lawn Mower has large 7 inch wheels and anybody who has done some lawn mowing on a regular basis knows it can be a real hassle if your wheel gets stuck in a gopher hole or you have to push the lawn mower extra hard to move it over those bumps. Larger wheels make it much easier to cross these obstacles; think of them like wheels for a monster truck and you’ll probably understand what I’m talking about.

The blade is 20”, one of the wider blades I’ve seen for the $310 price tag. Now that I think of it, the price is also very good on the Earthwise 60120 Electric Lawn Mower. Most lawn mowers with this amount of power and blade length will set you back at least four hundred bucks if not five hundred. Earthwise hodls the line on prices and Amazon is able to offer this lawn mower for just over $300 bucks. Throw in the 2 year warranty and a decent cutting length range and you got an excellent lawn mower for your money.

Earthwise 50118 Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

The Earthwise 50118 Electric Lawn Mower is a decent lawn mower at a decent price. This Earthwise Lawn Mower has a large 7 inch wheels that will allow you to roll over those bumps and dips in a rugged lawn. I used to have an older Craftsman lawn mower with small wheels and it was always a pain to roll that thing over small bumps in the grass. The seven inch wheels help ensure that your passes will go by quickly with little delay.

One of the weak spots in the Earthwise lawn mower is the surprisingly short range of cutting lengths it allows you to do. I really do prefer to have a lawn mower with a 1.5 – 4 inch range. The Earthwise 50118 Electric Lawn Mower is only designed to cut from 1.75 – 3.75 inches. It’s not a big deal, particularly if you’re just looking for something to make your lawn decent, but I do like having extra options. It comes in handy every so often, especially if you plan on regularly thatching your lawn.

One thing nobody can complain about is the price. Coming in at $165 bucks this lawn mower is just about the least expensive thing you can get on Amazon.com. There may be a couple lawnmowers here and there with lower price tags, but I couldn’t vouch for their quality or reliability. In my opinion, it’s always best to pay five or ten dollars more and have that peace of mind knowing you bought something that’s going to last you a while.

Epic EP21H Self Propelled Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,


Right now it’s time for my review of the Epic EP21H Self Propelled Electric Lawn Mower. The Epic Ep21H Lawn Mower truly is a lawn mower of Epic proportions. It boasts a 21” blade which means you can plow through a large area of lawn in a relatively short time, particularly compared to some of the puny by comparison 14 and 15 inch blades.

If you like to get specific with the thickness of your lawn, there is plenty of room for fine tuning. The Epic Ep21H Electric Lawn Mower can be set at 7 different heights between 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches. There are some types of grass that can be cut much lower, but most of those kinds of grasses are grown on golf courses and make terrible turf for barbecues!

One thing I don’t like is people keep reporting that this lawn mower only lasts 40 or 50 minutes. I really would like to see one of these lawn mowers last a full hour! If anybody out there owns an electric battery powered lawn mower with extraordinary battery capacity let me know so I can be sure to steer my readers that way!

I generally don’t have a use for this feature for my lawn or garden, but the built in mulcher is great for grinding leaves and clippings down a lot so I can fit more in to my trash can. It’s so nice to be able to have a machine do all my compacting for me; it really does save a lot of time. I like gardening, but I like free time I can do whatever I want with even more!

As far as pricing goes, there are about a dozen electric lawn mowers with similar features and power for the same price. Most people who buy the Epic EP21H Self Propelled Electric Lawn Mower are generally happy with their purchase but some complain about the 40-50 minutes of battery life. It’s not uncommon for people with large yards to purchase a second battery to ensure getting through the yard without having to wait for a recharge.

Solaris SP21HB Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,


Welcome to another exciting Lawn Mower Review here at the Lawn Tool Master blog. It’s time to bring you another excellent lawn mower review, today I have chosen the Solaris Electric Lawn Mower SP21HB. One bit of advice for the entire industry, name your lawn mowers better please. Something like Solaris E21 would be cool or Solaris Grass Eater 2000 would be even better. Just a thought, it would definitely make it easier for me to remember product names and make recommendations to people I happen to run in to at the hardware store looking for hardware. Okay, so it’s more like I’m trying to find them and preach…but hey, we are all passionate about something, even if that something is nothing. Anyway, on to the Solaris Sp21HB Electric Lawn Mower Review.



This Solaris Lawn Mower is a self propelled model. I generally shy away from self propelled lawn mowers because it just means there’s an extra thing to break down. I might change my mind when I’m in my 50’s and need things to be as easy as possible….but I probably won’t’ be doing all my own gardening by then either, I’ll probably hire a gardener to do my heavy lifting and do the fun stuff myself. From what I understand, the self propulsion system itself isn’t all that powerful anyway, but that’s to be expected from just about anything related to power on an electric lawn mower.



One thing I particularly like are the on and off board charging options. That means you don’t have to unplug the battery to charge it. I lose things a lot and this feature makes it much less likely my yard will look nappy because I can’t for the life of me remember where I put the battery. Another thing I like is the wide range of cutting height options. The height can be adjusted from 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches, which is much more than I can say for many residential grade lawn mowers in general. OH, there’s also a battery indicator. Battery charge indicators are seldom included in electric lawn mowers, a fact I wish were not so.



Overall, this is not a good electric mower. Like many electric lawn mowers I award low scores to, there are simply more powerful models out there for less money. If you’re looking for a good electric lawn mower with decent power at a good price check out more of my reviews or just visit Amazon.com. There are plenty of lawn mowers to choose from!

Earthwise 50120 Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

If you’re looking for the most cost effective electric lawn mower possible I think I may have found it. The Earthwise Electric Lawn Mower 50120 is a corded lawn mower that will pretty much cut anything you need to so long as you have a long enough extension cord. I personally don’t reccmond buying an electric lawn mower if you have anything larger than a medium sized yard, but it’s great for people who have small front yards or backyards that feel more like patches of grass than actual yards.

The Earthwise 50120 is equipped with a 20” blade. That’s not such a huge deal for the target demographic, people with smaller lawns. Still, it’s nice to know your mowing isn’t going to take forever and a day to get through. One feature I particularly like is the plug-in socket.

Other than that, the Earthwise Electric Lawn Mower has all the standard features you would expect from any lawn mower. You can adjust height from 1.75” – 3.75, not as much variety as I would prefer to see, but if you’re just using this to cut a small patch of lawn for 10 or 15 minutes that’s probably not going to make much of a difference to you.

What really makes me excited about the Earthwise Electric Lawn Mower is that it is cheap. Yes, it is very cheap. Coming in at about $160 bucks this is an excellent, cost effective way of dealing with your lawn. The battery powered lawn mowers generally start at $350, and even though powering this electric lawn mower with batteries would be convenient, keeping the price below $200 justifies the inconvenience of using a power cord.

One other thing I want to be sure to mention about the Earthwise 50120 Electric Lawn Mower is that it looks cool. A lot of these electric lawn mowers have that "I drive a Prius" look. Thank god this Earthwise Electric Lawn Mower does not!

Neuton CE 6.3 19 Electric Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers and Legions of Fans,

This time I’m going to be talking about the most powerful Neuton Electric Lawn Mower, the Neuton CE 6.3 19 Inch Lawn Mower. This lawn mower is priced about a hundred bucks more than the next model down, but that hundred bucks buys you a lot more power and for those of us with large lawns, quite a bit more time in the day.
Neuton has equipped the CE 6.3 Electric Lawn Mower with a 19 inch blade as opposed to a 14 or 15 inch blade included on most other lawn mowers. This might not sound like much but that can cut down your passes by about a third. Think of it, lopping 20 minutes off a lawn that takes an hour to mow or 10 minutes off a lawn that takes a half hour to mow is huge! Especially during the summer when it’s a hundred degrees out and all you have to drink is luke warm water, but hey, I’m not bitter.

The Neuton CE 6.3 is also the most powerful cordless electric lawn mower offered under the Neuton brand. It works off a 750 watt motor and uses a battery to supply power. (By the way, don’t EVER get a lawn mower with a cord, it’s bad times, trust me, bad times.) The battery supplies enough power to cut a square mile worth of lawn or a 1/3 of an acre. That means you can probably mow for about an hour. This is going to be good enough for most lawns, and really, if you can afford a house with more than a square mile a lawn you should probably be wealthy enough to pay a gardener to bring in a riding mower and do it for you.

Unfortunately for this Neuton Lawn Mower there are much better options out there that offer similar power but cost significantly less money. At $500 bucks this is definitely a huge investment! I would personally prefer to stick with a gas mower anyway, even though the maintenance requirements are much more strenuous because they are cheaper and work better. If you insist on an electric lawn mower, look through my reviews, you’ll definitely find something you like that won’t set you back for nearly so much money.
