About WireFreeMower
WireFreeMower is an independent buyer’s guide to cordless — battery-powered — lawn mowers. The premise is simple: the best mower for a quarter-acre suburban yard is the wrong mower for a tiny townhouse lawn, and no manufacturer’s spec sheet will tell you that. We organize everything around your property instead of around brands.
What we’re trying to do
Buying a battery mower means answering a surprisingly long list of questions before money changes hands. How big is your lawn, really? Is it flat or sloped? How thick does the grass get in June? Do you already own tools on a battery platform — and should that lock you in? What deck width actually finishes your yard fastest? Is “56V” marketing or physics?
Our job is to answer those questions in plain English, with the arithmetic shown, so you can double-check us. The site is built around that idea: yard-size guides, battery education, buying guides, head-to-head comparisons, and three free calculators that convert your lawn’s dimensions into a mower class and a watt-hour budget.
How we work — and how we don’t
We are a research-based editorial site. Recommendations here come from manufacturer specifications, owner’s manuals, warranty documents, retailer listings, and the patterns that show up in thousands of owner reports. We verify model numbers and specs before writing, and we write conservatively when a number can’t be confirmed (“around 85 lb, per EGO’s listed spec”) rather than inventing precision.
What we don’t do is fake it. No “we spent 40 hours testing” theater, no invented numeric scores, and no photos borrowed from Amazon listings. When a claim on this site says we observed something, we actually did; at launch, every review is labeled “Editorial research & specification analysis” because that is exactly what it is. The full method is in our editorial policy, and the rating vocabulary is defined in how we rate.
Who pays for the site
WireFreeMower is reader-supported through the Amazon Associates program: if you buy through certain links on this site, Amazon pays us a small commission at no extra cost to you. That’s the entire business model — no sponsored posts, no manufacturer payments, no pay-to-play “best mower” slots.
Commissions never decide what we recommend. A mower we like gets the same honest treatment whether it earns us a commission or nothing at all, and the cheapest sensible option wins our recommendation as often as the flagship does. The details are in our affiliate disclosure.
