Question 1

What size lawn mower do I need?

Accepted Answer

Match the mower to your actual mowable grass area, not the lot size on your listing (which includes the house and driveway). As a rule of thumb: push or reel mowers under ~10,000 sq ft (1/4 acre), self-propelled or robotic for 1/4 to 1/2 acre, and riding or zero-turn mowers above roughly 1/2 to 1 acre.

Question 2

How many passes will it take to mow my lawn?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the mower's cutting width and your lawn's shape. The comparison tool animates the actual mowing passes on your mapped lawn and counts them for each mower, so you can see which finishes in the fewest passes.

Question 3

Which mower will fit through my gate?

Accepted Answer

Measure your narrowest gate. Most walk-behind mowers are about 20 to 24 inches wide at the body. The tool checks each mower against your access points and flags the ones that fit.

Question 4

How does the tool choose a mower for me?

Accepted Answer

It scores every mower against your measured lawn — size match, slope capability, obstacles, gate clearance, mowing efficiency and value — then ranks the best fits. No generic guesswork.
