What are the key differences between Briggs and Stratton and Kohler engines, and which is right for my yard?

Both <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/Briggs-and-Stratton-Engine/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z1s3vq?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">Briggs and Stratton</a> engines and <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/Kohler-Engine/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z1s3xs?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">Kohler</a> engines are known for their reliability and power, but Kohler often features smoother operation and sometimes longer warranties. Kohler might be a great fit for a larger or tougher yard with thicker grass. For a more budget-friendly and popular option, check out Briggs & Stratton.

What are some important features I should look for, beyond engine type, when choosing a mower?

Consider features like the cutting width (which determines how much lawn you can cut in one pass), adjustable cutting heights for the look you want, and how easy the mower is to start and operate. A mower that's easy to use and adjust can greatly enhance your mowing experience.

I'm seeing a variety of cutting widths. Are there any other benefits to consider besides yard size?

Beyond yard size, wider cutting decks like those <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/21-inches/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z0kpa5?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">21 inches</a> and up can often handle thicker grass more efficiently. However, a smaller <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/17-inches/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z0kp94?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">17</a>-<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/20-inches/N-5yc1vZc5arZ1z0kpa6?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">20-inch</a> deck might be lighter and easier to store if storage space is limited, so consider your needs when choosing.

Is an electric mower powerful enough to handle my lawn?

Modern cordless electric mowers are surprisingly powerful and can easily tackle most lawns. They're quieter, require less maintenance, and are much better for the environment.

What are some popular brands of lawn mowers?

Some popular brands known for high-quality lawn mowers include <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/RYOBI/Adjustable-Speed/N-5yc1vZc5arZm5dZ1z0ktz9?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">RYOBI</a>, <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/Cub-Cadet/Adjustable-Speed/N-5yc1vZc5arZebZ1z0ktz9?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">Cub Cadet</a>, and <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Lawn-Mowers/Milwaukee/Adjustable-Speed/N-5yc1vZc5arZzvZ1z0ktz9?emt=plpfaq_2506_lawnmowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">Milwaukee</a>.
