What is a brushless mower?

A brushless mower utilizes a brushless DC motor for its cutting power, offering several advantages over traditional mowers with brushed motors or gasoline engines.

• Efficiency: Brushless motors are significantly more efficient than brushed motors. This increased efficiency translates to longer run times on a single battery charge, or reduced energy consumption in corded models.

• Durability and Lifespan: Without brushes that wear down over time, brushless motors have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance.

• Power and Torque: Brushless mowers can provide comparable, and sometimes superior, power and torque compared to gasoline mowers, especially at lower speeds.

• Noise Reduction: Generally, brushless mowers are quieter than both gas-powered and brushed electric mowers.

• Reduced Maintenance: With no need for oil changes, spark plug replacements, or air filter cleaning (as with gas mowers), and without the brush replacements required in brushed motors, brushless mowers offer a more convenient user experience.

• Battery Powered Options: Most brushless mowers are battery-powered, offering cordless operation and eliminating the need for extension cords. This increases maneuverability and convenience.

• Weight: Some models can be lighter than gasoline mowers, though this varies depending on the battery size and other features.

However, they may initially come with a higher purchase price compared to brushed motor electric mowers or entry-level gasoline mowers.
