We test Electrical lawnmowers by running through a battery of tests (do not intend to do a pun, since we carry out actual battery tests) and yes, we also mow things. There are certain product categories in which we collect countless data at this time, but despite our best efforts, data alone cannot give the entire image about which product does the best. Singing into the yard is the best way to filter and decipher the data we have.
Battery test
Let’s start with these battery tests. This is not too complicated, but it can be a bit difficult to set up physically. In order to measure the tension and amplifier that the mower pulls during operation, we have to insert our measuring devices between the battery and mower. The physical process varies a little from the mower to the mower, but after setting up we get a measure of the DC voltage and the amplifiers that move between the battery and mower, which gives us an idea of the engine performance of the mower (in watts) .
We take these measurements at zero load, which means that we do not cut grass at this point or in other ways we provide resistance to the sounds, which would change the numbers, which means that they are higher to calculate the higher limit values of the engine output. Our next test round will also contain these upper performance limits.
Speed tests
Yes, we absolutely measure the Blade -RPMS in electrical mowers. The Eagle Eyed Lab employees from Cnet have developed the opportunity to count dozens of revolutions per second. I joke even though we have a meter for it. In reality we take a little reflective adhesive tape and position this on the mower sheet and then aim at the measuring tool so that the laser light overlaps this adhesive tape and we get a precise reading on Blade speed.
In the middle under the safety glass you can see our test knife in the middle.
If we combine these numbers with others such as blade lengths and weights and throw in some of our motor performance calculations, we can estimate things like the force volume, in Newtons, the blade speaks to grass. These numbers are not extremely helpful. Most people will not have much idea of which 5 Newtons of violence are comparable. We prefer to take the way, to compare the performance outputs with something that people are better familiar with. In this case horsepower.
Gas-powered push mower vary in performance, but most of them end up in the range of 3 to 5 hp. The upper border numbers are added for our next update, but you can see that the lower border in the horsepower for the electrical mower we tested was between 0.1 and 0.6 hp. That’s not much. In general, you should expect electrical mower to triple this number towards your upper borders. It will find it difficult for you to operate gas-powered push mowers under 2 horsepower in retail.
Noise
We often talk about sound levels, especially with outdoor tools. Historically, these gas -powered tools were quite loud outdoors. (Try to sleep when all of your neighbors mow early on weekends.) With the advent of electric electric tool platforms, everything changes. Your neighbor can be obsessed with lawn care as you snake the day away.
We tested the decimal level for the mowers from the perspective of a person. We assemble a decibel knife and take the measurement. The results were not too surprising, and our quietest mower was the smallest, the 13-inch litheli at 68.6 dB, and the loudest was also the most powerful mower, the ego, with 86.7 dB.
Speed tests
Usually you think of mower that move at a certain speed, especially with every rate that you randomly drive you. More and more mower are coming with self -driving options. Many of these electrical mowers enable them to use this function, even if the blades do not run.
We measure how quickly mowers move in miles per hour. You will not visit on ramps with these. If you use this mode, however, you can decide which you should pick up or pass on. The Ryobi had the largest speed group to choose from, but was not the fastest mower. Ryobi had risen with 3.03 miles per hour and the Greenworks Pro at 3.33 miles per hour.
Some mowers like this cobalt model can be stuck by grass excerpts.
