How to Choose Based on Yard Size, Terrain & User Type
Not every mower fits every yard. Here's how to choose based on actual use conditions:
Small to Mid-Sized Lawns (Under 1/4 Acre or ~1000㎡)
Recommended: SENIX Electric Mower (Volt X2 or X6)
Why:
Lightweight and easy to maneuver
Battery runtime matches mowing time (~30–45 minutes)
Quiet enough for suburban neighborhoods
Best For: City or suburban homes, townhouses, eco-conscious homeowners
“If you mow once a week and your yard is the size of a soccer field or less, electric gives you all the power you need—without the noise or fumes.”
Large Yards (1/2 Acre or More / >2000㎡) or Dense Grass
Recommended: SENIX Gas Mower (Stroke 4QL Series)
Why:
Stronger torque for thick or tall grass
Longer operation time with quick refueling
Handles slopes and uneven ground better
Best For: Rural properties, pros, acreage, or rental fleets
“If you’re mowing large spaces or running a landscaping crew, gas offers the runtime and durability to get the job done all day long.”
Gas Mower Maintenance Tasks:

Eco & Noise Impact: The Lifestyle Factor
· Electric = cleaner, quieter, greener.
Perfect for eco-conscious users or residential areas with noise restrictions.
· Gas = louder, more emissions, but better for large open areas.
With SENIX’s Volt X2 and X6 series, you get strong performance without sacrificing sustainability.
