Best Lightweight Lawn Mowers

The American Lawn Mower 1204-14 has no motor, battery, or cord, so its ready-to-mow weight is the same as its bare weight, which is the main reason it sits at the top of this list. It holds a 4.3 rating across 15,053 reviews, the largest review count of any mower in this comparison, which suggests it holds up over years of regular use for the buyers it fits.

A reel mower this light is easy to lift over a step, carry to a shed, or hang on a wall, but the 14-inch width and manual cutting action mean it is a poor match for thick, tall, or large lawns. Compare its true ready-to-mow weight and cutting width against your lawn size and grass thickness before buying.

The Greenworks 40V 16-Inch Push Mower holds a 4.2 rating across 12,116 reviews, a large sample for a cordless mower in this class, and it ships with the battery and charger needed to reach that ready-to-mow weight rather than selling the deck alone. The included 4.0Ah pack adds real weight at the deck, so the ready-to-mow figure is meaningfully higher than the bare frame.

At 16 inches it covers more ground per pass than a reel mower while staying light enough for most owners to lift into a trunk or over a threshold. Compare its ready-to-mow weight with battery installed, not a bare-frame number, against your storage and lifting needs.

The BLACK+DECKER BESTA512CM holds a 4.2 rating across 9,666 reviews and combines a compact push mower with a trimmer and edger head in one light corded body. Because it runs on a cord instead of a battery, its ready-to-mow weight stays close to the bare frame weight, with the outdoor extension cord as the main added consideration rather than added mass at the mower.

The 12-inch cutting width is narrow even for a lightweight mower, so this fits patios, tight side yards, and trim work better than a full lawn. Compare the combo tool's real footprint and cord routing against your yard's edges and obstacles before buying.

The LawnMaster MEB1114K holds a 4.0 rating across 4,448 reviews and, like other corded mowers, carries no battery weight, keeping its ready-to-mow weight close to the frame weight printed in the listing. The 15-inch deck is a step up from the narrower push mowers on this list while still staying light enough to carry with one hand by the handle.

Because it is corded, the practical limitation is cord length and routing around trees, beds, and fences rather than mower weight itself. Compare its ready-to-mow weight and cutting width against how far your yard sits from an outlet, and confirm the correct outdoor extension cord before buying.

The EGO POWER+ LM2114 holds a 4.5 rating across 2,160 reviews, the highest rating in this comparison, though its review count is smaller than the reel and corded mowers above. At 21 inches it is the widest deck on this list, and its ready-to-mow weight with the 56V battery installed is meaningfully higher than any of the compact or corded mowers here, even though it is still light for a full-width mower.

Buyers choosing this model are trading true minimum weight for full-lawn coverage and cordless convenience. Compare its ready-to-mow weight with battery installed, and confirm how far you need to carry or lift it, against a narrower or corded option before paying the higher price.

The Litheli 14-Inch holds a 3.9 rating across 48 reviews, a much smaller sample than the mowers above, so its long-term durability is less established even though its listed price and included 5.0Ah battery make it an inexpensive way into a cordless setup. The brushless motor is marketed as lighter and lower-maintenance than a brushed motor of similar output.

At 14 inches it fits small yards, and the 5-position height adjustment lets you match cutting height without added tools. Given the limited review history, compare it carefully against the higher-review-count options above if long-term reliability data matters to your decision.

This Litheli 14-Inch variant holds a 3.6 rating across 29 reviews, the smallest review sample among the cordless mowers on this list, so treat its rating as directional rather than settled. It shares the same 14-inch deck, battery capacity, and height-adjustment range as the other Litheli listing above, with a smart charger as the stated difference.

Because the review count is so limited, verify current listing details and buyer feedback before purchase rather than relying on this summary alone. Compare it against the higher-review-count Litheli and Greenworks options above if reliability history matters more to you than a slightly different charger.

This 13-inch 40V cordless mower holds a 3.3 rating across just 19 reviews, the smallest and lowest-rated listing in this comparison, so it should be treated as an unproven budget option rather than a verified pick. Its 13-inch deck is the narrowest cutting width on this list, aimed at small patios and tight garden beds rather than a full lawn.

Given the limited review history and lower average rating, confirm current buyer feedback and return policy before relying on it for a larger job. Compare its ready-to-mow weight and narrow width against the better-reviewed mowers above before choosing it purely on price.
