A cylinder mower works by cuttings with several blades that rotate on a horizontal axis. It is an ideal choice for getting a very close, high quality cut.
A rotary mower cuts the grass with a blade or disc that rotates on a vertical axis. They have the benefit of requiring little maintenance, and are often cheaper and more lightweight than, for example, a cylinder lawn mower.
A hover mower works by creating a cushion of air between the lawn and mower, instead of using wheels. This makes it much more manoeuvrable and easy to use.
A higher cutting height is needed when your lawn doesn’t have optimum conditions, for example when there is extreme heat or cold, as a longer leaf allows it to stay healthy.
With a blade brake you can stop the rotation of the blades without cutting off the engine. This is useful if you need to clear debris from the lawn mower, or travel across a gravel area.
With a mulching feature the grass cuttings are further cut into finely chopped grass which is then expelled onto the lawn, fertilising it and making it more drought resistant. This also means you do not have to empty a grass bag/box.
With a wider cutting width you will have to make less passes when mowing your lawn, reducing the time it takes. This is especially important if you have a large lawn.
The cutting height ratio indicates the ratio between the minimum and maximum cutting heights, providing more versatility when choosing the optimum cutting length for your lawn.

The turn radius indicates the smallest circular turn that can be made. With a smaller turn radius, it is easier to perform a U-turn in one attempt instead of having to reverse back and forth to turn around.
A lower minimum cutting height is an advantage if you prefer a shorter grass length for your lawn. However, shorter grass requires good weather conditions to stay lush and green, such as warm weather and moderate sunlight.

This measurement is the total volume of all the engine's cylinders, also known as the engine displacement. This is one of many aspects of an engine that determine its horsepower, but generally speaking a greater size indicates more power.

Although there are many aspects that determine the power, a higher number of cylinders is generally a good indication of the potential power of the engine.
A lawn mower with variable speed is beneficial because you may wish to slow down or speed up based on the area you are mowing, for example going slower when making tight turns around a tree.
You can adjust the height of all four wheels at once, as opposed to some lawn mowers where you have to adjust each wheel separately. This makes it quicker and simpler to adjust the height of the lawn mower.
An adjustable handlebar allows you to adjust the height of the handlebar to your own height, making the machine more comfortable to use. With more handlebar positions available, you have more flexibility, especially if more people are using the machine.
An electric-powered lawn mower offers several benefits over a gas one. For example, they require less maintenance and are quieter, as well as better for the environment.
