If you haven’t switched from a gas-powered lawn mower to an electric model, now is as good a time as any—especially with some states cutting down on or outright banning the sale of gas-engine tools. And now, as we stare down summer, this Greenworks 40-volt 20-inch Electric Lawn Mower is 31 percent off at Walmart, bringing the price down from $399 to $274.
An electric lawn mower is an efficient way to keep your lawn looking healthy without the maintenance you have to put into a gas-powered alternative. As a bonus, an electric motor is much quieter, so there’s less of a chance of you disturbing the neighbors. And we like this Greenworks given that similar ones have made it on our list of the best electric mowers.
GreenWorks Tools 40V 20-In. Brushless Walk-Behind Push Lawn Mower
This model features a high-efficiency brushless motor, an easy push-button start, and 10-inch rear wheels, which make it easier to shove over thick grass and uneven terrain. Its steel cutting deck is a small but respectable 20 inches wide, and you adjust the blade height with a single lever. Simple. It also comes with a mid-range 4.0-amp-hour battery that offers a claimed runtime of up to 40 minutes—good enough to mow a yard up to a half acre. But if you need to mow for longer, invest in an additional battery or, if you don’t like stopping to swap a dead one out for a fresh battery, a larger one.

With the ability to mulch, the mower can help maintain a healthy yard by leaving clippings on the grass to feed what grows in. It can also discharge them from a side chute if you prefer. This Greenworks can also collect grass clippings in a bag attached to the mower, making it easy to keep your lawn neat and tidy. Finally, the collapsible handle facilitates storing the mower vertically during the off-season.
