Milwaukee is finally entering the cordless lawn mower market with a cordless model. Consumers have been asking for a mower from Milwaukee, and they answered their cries with the new M18 FUEL 21-inch Self-Propelled Dual Battery Mower. This mower comes with all the features to contend with the other top cordless mowers already on the market and many other innovations you would expect from one of the top tool manufacturers.
The new Milwaukee cordless lawn mower throws many misconceptions about cordless options out the window. Their mower offers the best cut quality, higher maximum torque than a 200cc gas mower, up to 60 minutes of run time, and no gas headaches.
- On top of the benefits of a cordless mower, Milwaukee has brought many of the best features of other gas and electric models along with their innovations.
Features of the M18 FUEL Cordless Mower
The Milwaukee cordless lawn mower delivers superior airflow under the deck to provide the best-cut quality. An optimized deck design features a smooth, open tunnel and offers minimal disruption to airflow. The deck design, combined with a higher maximum blade speed and a smaller gap between the blade and the deck, promises a superior-quality cut.
- This minimizes uncontrolled gas discharge in clumps.
The dual battery mower runs off 2 M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 Ah batteries. With the two batteries, the lawn mower can cut one inch of grass in a one-half-acre area in 60 minutes at a speed of 3 MPH. The batteries combined with a POWERSTATE brushless motor contribute to the highest maximum torque. This is among electric and even top 200cc gas competitors. With that, the lawn mower can maintain blade speed under heavy loads, making it easier to handle taller grass.
A push-button start cuts out all the priming and pull starts for an easier start-up and reaches full throttle in less than one second. A self-propelled throttle response provides improved system responsiveness, no motor ramp-up, and increases user control and productivity.
Additional Flexibility & Convenience
Milwaukee has included adjustable handle heights for increased machine flexibility to fit any size person for maximum comfort. The mower has three options for grass clipping management to meet any preference or need. The three modes are mulching, bagging, and rear-side discharge. Bagging creates the best lawn appearance and is the only mode preferred for wet grass. Mulching is best for lawn health and does not require clipping disposal. Rear-side discharge works similarly to mulching but offers faster application speed.
Some other features make the cordless lawn mower more straightforward to use and store. Single-point height adjustment moves the entire deck in one motion instead of lowering each mower tire. The 1- to 4-inch deck height range is the largest for cordless lawnmowers and offers seven positions in one-half-inch increments.
The handle design allows for pass-through bag removal, making removing and installing the bag easier. The design allows the handle to be folded for upright storage during the off-season. This takes up less space in your garage or shed. An operator-facing fuel gauge makes it easy to monitor current battery levels. The red LEDs of the indicator make it easy to see the levels in sunlight.
The Milwaukee cordless lawn mower offers a variety of other components that provide additional convenience. Lights on the front and sides of the mower improve visibility so you can work into later hours. The LEDs offer 180-degree visibility for increased awareness and precision.
