Quick summary: the Greenworks MO40B410 14inch is a fantastic electric mower for those with smaller yards.

This efficient little mower is designed for ultimate portability and maneuverability, and is ideal for smaller yards that are frequently mowed and well maintained.

Full Review: Greenworks MO40B410 14-inch 40V

If you are looking for one of the smallest and lightest cordless lawn mowers that you can find, consider this portable Greenworks 14-inch 40V. This cordless electric mower has a 14 inch plastic deck that provides for versatile and lightweight operation.

This little lawn mower offers rear bagging as well as mulching capacity. The five position height adjustment can be easily chosen using a single lever, and offers a range from 1 and 1/4 in to 3 and 3/8 in. The efficient 40 volt lithium battery system is interchangeable with other Greenworks 40-volt products, and offers good value.

A push button start as well as lightweight construction make mowing your lawn into a fun and easy task rather than a difficult chore. This mower is best for smaller yards, but before you decide you need something more powerful, consider how big your yard really is. Up to 34% of yards can be serviced by this lawn mower.

You get a lot of lightweight portability for the sacrifices you make with power in this mower. 7 inch front wheels and 10 inch rear wheels make this mower extremely maneuverable. The Greenworks 14-inch 40V is light and easy to push. Even people who do not consider themselves strong or particularly mobile may be able to use it without trouble.

Because this mower discharges to the rear, you will want to use the bag of every time so you don’t get clippings on your feet while you mow. This mower is light enough that you can easily take it with you if you want to mow another property or a friend of family members’ yard.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a lightweight mower, you can’t go wrong with this model.
