Mowers, trimmers, and the tools that keep a yard in shape.

Ryobi builds its mowers on the 18V ONE+ and 40V battery systems and sells them through Home Depot, so there is no Ryobi lawn mower on Amazon. Here is what the 2025 recall covered and the three cordless mowers worth buying on Amazon instead.

The best battery lawn mower for a small yard is a light 16- to 21-inch push mower on a battery line you can expand. The Greenworks 40V 16-inch leads for most yards, the Greenworks 48V 20-inch covers a bigger small yard, and the EGO LM2114 is the quiet premium pick.

The best above ground sprinkler system for a large yard is the Eden 98063 Flex Design kit, which spreads four adjustable heads and a 50-foot hose across a shaped lawn. The Acostop 4-piece set covers the most ground per dollar, and the Melnor kit is the tidy value option.

The best lawn core aerator for most home lawns is the Xuperace Core Aerator, because its side-eject ramp pushes soil plugs out instead of letting them jam in the tines. The Zalawn 3-tine tool is the value pick near $40, and the LawnVigor is the light one for small yards.

The best fertilizer for Bermuda grass is Scotts Turf Builder Southern Lawn Food, which feeds warm-season turf without clumping. The Andersons PGF Complete is the premium fine-particle feed, and Simple Lawn Solutions is the liquid pick.
