Best Push Button Start Lawn Mower
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
The best push button start lawn mower is the one whose power source you can supply, whose deck width fits your lawn, and whose listing gives the figures you need. Every mower in this guide is cordless or corded, and each listing describes a push-button start. Three are corded and five run on batteries. The corded group ranges from a 15-inch deck to a 20-inch deck. Every battery model says a battery is included. This guide shows only what each listing states.
Quick answer
- For a corded mower, the BLACK+DECKER BEMW213 lists the widest deck, at 20 inches, with a 13-amp motor.
- For a battery mower, the EGO LM2112 and the Greenworks 80V model both list 21-inch decks, the widest in the guide.
- The lightest stated weight is 7 pounds for the BLACK+DECKER BEMW472BH, a 15-inch corded mower.
- Every battery model says a battery is included, but pack sizes and run times differ, so read the pack line before you order.
Choose the power source first
Your outlet or your battery decides most of the shopping. The three corded mowers here run from a household outlet, and their listings give no battery figures at all. The five battery mowers include a battery in each listing, so the choice becomes which pack and which deck width you want.
Corded mowers bring a cord problem with them. Check the cord length against the farthest point of your lawn before you buy, because none of the three corded listings gives a cord length. Our extension cord guide for mowers covers that side of the decision in more detail.
The push button is the start feature in all eight listings, so it does not separate the mowers on its own. What separates them is the deck, the height range, the power source and the warranty length. Bagging matters too. Several models list a 2-in-1 mulch or bag system, and if bagging is your main need, our guide to small mowers with a bag covers that choice.
Stated specs side by side
The table lists only what each listing states. Where the listing is silent, the cell says not stated. Figures marked stored come from records we saved earlier, which were not opened again on 2026-10-22.
| Mower | Power | Deck | Battery or cord | Height range | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BLACK+DECKER BEMW213 | Corded, 13 amp | 20 in | Cord, length not stated | 1-1/2 to 4 in | not stated |
| BLACK+DECKER BEMW472BH | Corded, 10 amp | 15 in | Cord, length not stated | 1 to 3 in | 7 lb (stored) |
| BLACK+DECKER BEMW482BH | Corded, 12 amp | 17 in | Cord, length not stated | 1 to 3 in | not stated |
| EGO Power+ LM2112 | 56V, 4.0Ah battery | 21 in | Battery and charger included | 1.25 to 4 in | not stated |
| Greenworks 80V 21 in | 80V, 5.0Ah battery | 21 in | Battery and charger included | 35 mm to 10.2 cm (stored) | 84 lb (stored, not re-read) |
| Greenworks 48V 17 in | 48V, two 24V packs | 17 in | Two 4.0Ah batteries included | 1-3/8 to 3-3/4 in | 42.5 lb (stored) |
| Greenworks 40V 17 in | 40V, 4.0Ah battery | 17 in | Battery included | six heights, range not stated | not stated |
| Greenworks 40V 16 in | 40V, 4.0Ah battery | 16 in | Battery and charger included | 1-1/4 to 3-3/4 in (stored) | 37.5 lb (stored) |
Two calculations come from the table. The deck spread is 21 inches minus 15 inches, or 6 inches, between the widest and narrowest stated decks. The weight figure of 84 pounds comes from a stored Greenworks 80V record that we did not re-read, so leave it out of any comparison. The other three stated weights run from 7 pounds to 42.5 pounds, a spread of 35.5 pounds, and the heaviest is about 6.1 times the lightest (42.5 divided by 7).
The eight mowers
The sections below group the mowers by power source, corded first and battery second. The grouping does not rank them. Each section gives what the listing states, the specs in a table, and one case where that mower may not suit you.
BLACK+DECKER BEMW213, 20-inch corded mower
This corded push mower has the widest corded deck in the guide, at 20 inches, and a 13-amp motor. The listing describes its push-button start as one that starts quickly and reliably every time. It has a single-lever height adjustment with six settings between 1-1/2 and 4 inches, and its included items list a collection bag and a side discharge chute.
| Spec | What the listing states |
|---|---|
| Power | Corded |
| Motor | 13 amp |
| Deck | 20 inches |
| Height | 6 settings, 1-1/2 in. to 4 in., single lever |
| Start | Push-button start |
| Included | Mower, collection bag, side discharge chute |
| Warranty | 2 year limited (stored) |
| Weight | not stated |
Skip it if you cannot run a cord to the far edge of the lawn, because the listing does not state a cord length.
BLACK+DECKER BEMW472BH, 15-inch corded mower
This is the smallest deck in the guide, at 15 inches, and it has the lightest stated weight at 7 pounds in the stored record. The listing calls it a lightweight corded mower with a bike handle, a winged blade and a 10-amp motor, and says it is ideal for about 1/8 acre. Its title and included items both name the BEMW472BH.
| Spec | What the listing states |
|---|---|
| Power | Corded |
| Motor | 10 amp |
| Deck | 15 inches |
| Height | 6 adjustable heights, 1 to 3 in. |
| Start | Push button start |
| Handle | Bike handle design |
| Included | Mower and collection bag |
| Weight | 7 lb (stored) |
| Warranty | not stated |
Skip it if your lawn is larger than about an eighth of an acre, since the listing describes the mower as ideal for 1/8 acre.
BLACK+DECKER BEMW482BH, 17-inch corded mower
This corded mower is the only model here read on 2026-10-22. The listing describes a 12-amp, 17-inch deck with a bike handle, a winged blade, a push button start and six heights from 1 to 3 inches. Its title names the BEMW482BH, but the product description and the included items name the BEMW472BH, so confirm the model you receive. The listing states a product rating of 120 V and says the manufacturer warranty can be requested from customer service.
| Spec | What the listing states |
|---|---|
| Power | Corded |
| Motor | 12 amp |
| Deck | 17 inches |
| Height | 6 adjustable heights, 1 to 3 in. |
| Start | Push button start |
| Rating | 120 V as listed |
| Included | (1) BEMW472BH mower and (1) collection bag, as listed |
| Warranty | length not stated; can be requested from customer service |

Skip it if you need a warranty length in writing, since the listing gives none.
EGO Power+ LM2112, 21-inch cordless mower

The listing says it runs up to 35 minutes on one charge and offers seven height positions from 1.25 to 4 inches. Its bullets add 3-in-1 mulching, bagging and side discharge, LED headlights, an adjustable handle height and IPX4-rated construction. The stored record gives a 22-inch item type, so the 21-inch figure from the bullets is the one used here.
| Spec | What the listing states |
|---|---|
| Power | 56V cordless, 4.0Ah battery |
| Battery and charger | Included, per the title |
| Deck | 21 inches (bullet) |
| Height | 7 positions, 1.25 to 4 in. (bullet) |

Greenworks 80V 21-inch push mower
This battery mower lists a 21-inch steel deck, an 80V battery with a 5.0Ah pack and charger in the title, and a 4-in-1 system for mulching, bagging, side discharge and turbo leaf pickup. The listing says it cuts up to 1/2 acre on a single charge and carries a 4-year limited tool and battery warranty. Its stored record gives a cutting width of 20.28 inches and a weight of 84 pounds. Neither figure was re-read on 2026-10-22, so check the listing before you rely on either.
| Spec | What the listing states |
|---|---|
| Power | 80V battery |
| Battery and charger | 5.0 Ah battery and charger, per the title |
| Deck | 21 inches (bullet); 20.28 in (stored) |

| Start | Push button start |
| Weight | 84 lb (stored, not re-read) |
| Warranty | 4-year limited tool and battery |
Skip it if you want a verified weight, because the only weight figure here comes from a stored record.
Greenworks 48V 17-inch push mower
This mower runs on two 4.0Ah batteries, which the listing says give up to 45 minutes of run time. The deck is a 17-inch poly design, and the listing says it is 40 percent lighter than steel decks. A single lever sets five cutting positions from 1-3/8 to 3-3/4 inches, and the mower mulches or bags from the rear. The stored weight is 42.5 pounds.
| Spec | What the listing states |
|---|---|
| Power | 48V, made of two 24V packs |
| Batteries | Two 4.0Ah batteries in the kit, per the title |

| Start | Push-button start |
| Weight | 42.5 lb (stored) |

Skip it if you need a lighter mower, since 42.5 pounds is heavier than the Greenworks 40V 16-inch model at 37.5 pounds.
Greenworks 40V 17-inch push mower
The title says 17 inches, and the bullets say six cutting heights adjusted with a single lever. The listing says the 4.0Ah battery is included and that the mower runs up to 35 minutes on one charge. Its bullets name push-button start and a 3-year limited tool and battery warranty, and it works with more than 75 Greenworks 40V tools.
| Spec | What the listing states |
|---|---|

| Battery | 4.0Ah battery included (bullet) |
| Deck | 17 in (title); 16.14 in (stored) |

| Start | Push-button start |
| Compatibility | 75+ Greenworks 40V tools |

| Warranty | 3-year limited tool and battery |
Skip it if the exact deck width decides your purchase, since the title and the stored width disagree.
Greenworks 40V 16-inch push mower
Among the battery models here, this is the lightest with a stated weight, at 37.5 pounds in the stored record. The title says 16 inches, and the stored width is 15.67 inches. The stored specs give five height positions from 1.25 to 3.75 inches, and the listing describes mulching with rear bagging. Its bullets say it is 35 percent lighter than steel deck mowers and carry a 3-year warranty.
| Spec | What the listing states |

| Run time | Battery average life 35 minutes (stored) |
| Start | Push-button start (item highlight) |
| Weight | 37.5 lb (stored) |
| Warranty | 3-year limited tool and battery |
Skip it if you need a cut below 1.25 inches, because the stored height range starts there.
How we chose
We started from the search for best push button start lawn mower. The results included starter switches, replacement parts, toy mowers, manual reel mowers, robot mowers and gas models, and we left all of those out. We kept corded and battery mowers whose listings describe a push-button start.
The guide uses eight mowers. One was read on 2026-10-22: the BLACK+DECKER BEMW482BH. The other seven come from earlier reads stored in our research files, dated 2026-10-11 to 2026-10-17. We did not open those seven again today, and the tables mark the figures that come from stored records. We chose three corded mowers and five battery mowers, and we grouped the battery models by brand. We did not use cost or customer ratings to choose them, and this guide does not rank the mowers.
What we could not verify
- Whether a push-button start beats a pull cord in daily use. The listings describe the start as quick and reliable, and listing text cannot confirm that.
- How much lawn a battery mower covers on one charge. The listings give acre figures and run times, and several say these vary with grass and technique.
- The warranty length for three of the eight mowers. The BEMW472BH, the BEMW482BH and the EGO listings state no length in the text we read.
- The weight for four of the eight mowers. The BEMW213, the BEMW482BH, the EGO and the Greenworks 40V 17-inch listings give none in the text we read.
- The 84-pound weight in the stored Greenworks 80V record. We did not re-read that listing on 2026-10-22.
What the sources do not say
- The BEMW482BH title names one model, while its product description and included items name the BEMW472BH.
- The EGO listing gives a 21-inch deck in its bullets and a 22-inch item type in its stored record. Its height minimum is 1.25 inches in the bullets and 1.5 inches in the stored specs.
- The Greenworks 80V record gives a cutting width of 20.28 inches, while the title and bullet say 21 inches, and it gives a weight of 84 pounds that we did not re-read.
- The Greenworks 48V listing gives a 3-year warranty in its bullets and a 2-year warranty in its stored specs.
- The Greenworks 40V 17-inch record gives a cutting width of 16.14 inches, while its title says 17 inches. Its stored height minimum and maximum are reversed, so this guide gives no height range for that model.
- No listing states a cord length for the corded mowers, and no listing gives start steps beyond the feature itself.
FAQ
Does a push button start lawn mower need a battery or a cord?
Either can work. The three corded mowers here plug into a household outlet, and the five battery mowers include their batteries. Choose the power source first, because every mower in this guide describes a push-button start, so that feature does not decide between them.
Which mower here has the widest cut?
The EGO LM2112 and the Greenworks 80V model both list 21-inch decks, the widest in the guide. The corded BLACK+DECKER BEMW213 lists 20 inches, the widest corded deck here. Check the width on the listing before you buy, because the Greenworks 40V 17-inch record gives a different figure from its title.
Is a 15-inch mower enough for a small yard?
The BLACK+DECKER BEMW472BH lists a 15-inch deck and says it is ideal for about 1/8 acre. For a small yard, compare the size of your lawn with that figure. A wider deck covers more ground per pass, which is a general point rather than a listing claim, and it is also heavier to push.
How long does a battery mower run?
The EGO LM2112 and the Greenworks 40V 17-inch list up to 35 minutes on one charge, and the Greenworks 48V lists up to 45 minutes on two 4.0Ah batteries. The stored Greenworks 80V record gives a battery average life of one hour. Several listings say these times vary with grass and technique.
Is the warranty the same for every brand?
No. The Greenworks 80V lists a 4-year limited tool and battery warranty, three Greenworks models list 3 years in their bullets, and the BLACK+DECKER BEMW213 stored record lists 2 years. Three listings state no warranty length, so check the terms with the seller or manufacturer before you buy.
Can I use these mowers on a slope?
None of the eight listings gives a slope rating, so this guide cannot say which model handles a slope well. Read the manufacturer’s manual for any slope limit before you mow a sloped lawn with any of these mowers.
Bottom line
Pick the power source first: if an outdoor outlet is within reach, choose from the corded mowers; if it is not, choose the battery mower whose pack you already own. Then compare the deck width against your lawn.
