Looking for the best affordable lawn mower for 2024? Check out this lawn mower review for beginners to find the perfect one for your yard!

We got a little obsessed and went down the lawn mower rabbit hole when looking for our first mower as new homeowners with a medium-sized yard that’s also pretty bumpy. Do we go battery? Traditional gas? Deal with the long extension cord on an electric? Or just keep it quiet and simple with a reel mower? We have a budget of $300 (and honestly the less we can spend the better, $200 would be great). We each tested four and tell you our honest opinion of each.**

We hope it helps you in your lawn mower journey--let us know which one you could work best for you, or if you have one you already love, we’d love to know!

**Bonus: you get to see me (Kristie) use—and by use I mean struggle with—a lawn mower for the first time ever!!
