Summer is coming and the grass is getting long, but the Memorial Day sales here to help. There are some great deals to be had right now on a brand new lawn mower. Whether you're looking for a gas-powered lawn mower or an eco-friendly electric offering, you can save serious cash by buying right now. 

Cordless lawn mowers are the best choice for all but the very smallest of lawns, as they give you much greater freedom. However, that no longer limits you to a gas-powered offering. The latest electric models come with sizable battery packs to last you long enough to cover in a sizable lawn. 

Depending on the size of your garden, you will want to consider the cutting width of your mower, to minimize the number of runs you need to do. There's also the cutting height and bag options – do you want to collect it all in the bag or mulch it. 

We've rounded up the best deals on lawn mowers right now in the Memorial Day sales but act fast, as these won't last forever.
