Best push lawnmower deals
Ryobi 13 in. | Was $219.99, now $199.99 at Amazon
If you have a small yard, you don't need anything more complicated than this little Ryobi. It was fantastic when I put it to the test a few years ago. It's lightweight and gives a surprisingly good cut, but it's only 13in wide, so it won't work for more than a 1/4 acre.
Worx WG779 | Was $329.99, now $279.99 at Amazon
If you want a good mower on a budget, you can't go wrong with this. I tested it a couple of years ago but still recommend it; it's lightweight, cuts closely, and great along the edges of a lawn. The only drawback is that it's far too small for big gardens.
Toro 30 in TimeMaster | Was $1599, now $1499 at Tractor Supply
I haven't tested this mower, but when I've tested other Toro products I've found them exceptional. Made with durable steel, this mower has a useful safety stop feature. This turns off the blades but not the motor, so you can step away from the mower if needed without totally shutting it down.
EGO Power+ Select Cut | Was $$998.99, now $599.99 at Amazon
This is probably my favorite ever cordless mower. It delivers an incredibly precise cut, has headlights to illuminate grass under hedges, and is self-propelled for fast, easy cutting. It's still pretty expensive, but worth considering if you have a bigger budget.
Best riding mower deals
Husqvarna YTH1942 42-in | Was $2399.99, now $1999.99 at Tractor Supply
It's not the fanciest mower in the world, but this simple riding mower from Husqvarna is the best value deal I've seen. You get a robust mower with a tight turning circle for tackling difficult corners.
Craftsman Z5400 46-in | Was $3199, now $2999 at Lowe's
It's not a huge discount, but this American-made mower is getting rave reviews. It has a built-in roller for a stripy lawn and can tackle two acres in one mow.
EGO POWER+ Z6 42-in 56-volt Lithium Ion Electric Riding Lawn Mower | Was $5499, now $4499 at Lowe's
This is still pretty expensive, but it's one of the biggest discounts I've seen on a riding mower. Despite being a battery mower, it's one of the fastest zero-turns I've seen, topping out at 8mph thanks to an equivalent 22HP engine.
When is the next lawnmower sale?
Your next best chance to grab a mower on markdown is Memorial Day. The other best times to buy a mower are July 4th and Labor Day. However, you'll also find great deals over Black Friday and December, as stores try to sell off lawnmower stock in the winter.
