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 (~3045 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 needwithout 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 youre mowing large spaces or running a landscaping crew, gas offers the runtime and durability to get the job done all day long.
