Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each lawn mower
Of the 6 lawn mowers we track, 3 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.
| Product | Independent labs | Metrics measured | Outlets on record |
|---|---|---|---|
| EGO POWER+ LM2135SP Select Cut 21" | 1 | 4 | 1 |
| EGO POWER+ LM2156SP Select Cut XP 21" | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Makita XML08PT1 36V (18Vx2) LXT 21" Self-Propelled | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Honda HRN216VKA | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Honda HRX217VKA | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Toro Recycler 60V SmartStow 22" (21469) | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the Lawn Mowers buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
