Light, cheap and tied to an outlet · review
A 16-inch, 12-amp corded mower with folding handles for about $119, the best value among the smaller corded mowers here.
At about $119, this offers a 12-amp motor, a 16-inch deck and an 8-gallon bag. Only the 15-inch sibling is cheaper, and only by $4.
It bags and nothing else, and it stops at 3 inches. Owners who keep grass taller should look at the 20-inch mowers.
Unplug the cord before you touch the blade, the chute or the height lever, and use an outdoor-rated extension cord with a GFCI-protected outlet, as the manual directs.
