There are a number of things to look out for when buying a lawnmower, but the most important factors to consider are whether they're corded or cordless, the price, cutting widths and cutting height.

You can expect to get anywhere from six to ten years out of your riding mower, or longer with proper care and maintenance. Like most machines, riding lawn mower life varies depending on a number of factors including terrain, maintenance and upkeep, number of hours used, and more.

Above $400 you could be paying for gimmicks, but under $200 and you're missing out on mowers that mow right to the edge of a lawn, or mowers with mulching plugs.

With proper maintenance and regular check-ups, your lawn mower should last around 600-800 hours or more. If you use your mower occasionally, it may even reach 1,500 hours or more. Be sure to keep up on its care and you'll have a machine that will last for many years to come.

Why do commercial mowers cut better? ›

Commercial mower blades can turn at speeds between 2700 to 3200 rpm, which makes them about 2-3 times faster than residential blades. That speed allows them to power through tall, thick grass and leave behind an even cut. Commercial blades are also heavier and more durable, so they can withstand constant use.
