The EGO Power+ LM2114 is the best cordless push mower under $500, the model reviewers reach for first.

The Greenworks 60V 21-inch push mower is the value champion, named Pro Tool Reviews' top Greenworks push pick with a 9.4/10 score.

How they stack up

EGO Power+ LM2114

The cleanest-cutting and most powerful push mower here, ahead of the Greenworks 60V 21-inch push and Greenworks 80V 21-inch push on torque and the premium Gator blade. It is push-only, so for hills the self-propelled Greenworks MO48L4422 is the better fit; the corded Sun Joe MJ403E is far cheaper but tethered.

Greenworks 60V 21-Inch Push Mower

The best value of the group, undercutting the EGO LM2114 on price while sharing a 21-inch 4-in-1 design, though the EGO has more torque. Cheaper and lighter than the Greenworks 80V 21-inch push, and a push-only counterpart to the self-propelled Greenworks MO48L4422. Far more capable than the corded Sun Joe MJ403E but pricier.
