This affordable, futuristic lawn mower is the most unique model I've ever used – it's perfect for small yards, as long as you don't mind short grass

To be honest, there's something quite relaxing and lethargic for me about mowing the grass. I look forward to spring and summertime in part because it means I get to spend more time soaking up some sunshine while I cut the lawn. And in the southern United States, where I live, the stubborn St. Augustine grass grows thick and fast in those months.

As such, making sure I have one of the best lawn mowers around that's solid, reliable, and powerful, is crucial to helping me get the job done efficiently, especially when I have to cut it twice a week during the peak of summer.
