In this article I will be going through our selection of corded lawn mowers to help you decide the best corded electric lawn mowers for you! At ITS our tool experts go above and beyond to ensure the tools we supply are the best available.
Should you choose a Corded Electric Lawn mower?
Corded lawn mowers, as the name suggests are plugged into a power socket and operate using electricity. As you’re drawing electricity from the mains “you have access to more power than a cordless tool. This means that corded lawn mowers are pretty powerful and in general your corded lawn mowers will get the job done for a low cost, depending on the model you buy.
The issue with corded lawn mowers is in the title, they’re corded. Got a big garden? You’ll be able to cut half of it before getting the extension lead out, and that’s if your extension lead is even long enough. It’s pretty hard to do professional landscaping work with a corded lawn mower as every house, yard or site is unique and, the majority of the time, corded power is not an option.
All that said, corded lawn mowers provide the best entry point into the market with their low costs. They are perfect for getting started and more environmentally friendly than their petrol counterparts. If you’re looking to get the garden right for the summer then a corded lawn mower is all you need for a well-maintained garden this summer.
