any drill string trimmer blower vacuum light and so much more within the same system with over two dozen options available within our mower lineup it's important to understand how to choose the right mower for your needs consider a few of these questions to guide you in that decision-making process what is your yard size what type of terrain does your yard have what types of obstacles do you have in your yard like flower beds and trees and are you already invested in a certain battery platform these types of questions will help narrow down your choices and
ensure you walk out of the Home Depot with the best option for your needs now let's take a look at a few of the features included on our mowers to help you understand how we're able to provide best in-class Solutions across the [Music] board before we get into the types of mowers we offer let's break down some of the Innovative Technologies and features that differentiate each Mower and give it its unique advantages starting with HP brushless technology our HP series combines powerful brushless motors advanced electronics and high performance lithium technology to deliver more more power
runtime durability and a longer lasting solution than ever before another technology you'll find in a few of our mowers is whisper series which represents the quietest products in our range if you find this feature associated with any of our mowers know that you're not only getting the HP brushless benefits we just mentioned but you're also getting a mower with premium features engineered from the inside out to be remarkably quiet without compromising power shifting gears from technology to onboard features the first one we'll look at is bagging side discharge and mulching this refers to what happens
with the grass clippings when mowed and each comes with its own benefit so it really comes down to personal preference some of our mowers allow for two of these options some allow for all three and others have additional accessories available to complete these so understanding the difference between the three will not only help you decide which mower you need but also how to achieve the best looking yarn in the neighborhood side discharge evenly disperses grass grass clippings out the side of the mower this method is great for tall or thick grass and gives you the
best runtime of the three options making it ideal for larger properties mulching recycles the grass creating finer clippings and returns nutrients back into the soil both side discharge and mulching provides natural fertilization for your lawn however mulching will deliver the best results in that case if that's your main goal it's best to avoid tall or thick grass when mulching as it could lead to thatch buildup over time lastly bagging collects the grass clippings for a cleaner and better looking lawn especially when dealing with leaves best for small properties this method prevents the spread of weeds
and fungus as well as prevents thatch buildup and the need to rate clippings eliminating that extra manual work like I mentioned each of these methods has its own benefits so consider which option best fits your needs the next features will talk about our single blade versus multi-blade mowers single blade is what you'll typically find on a traditional which provides longer runtime however lacks a few of the benefits when compared to multi-blade multi-blade or Crosscut as we call it uses two blades for Superior cutting performance delivering finer clippings more even dispersement when side discharging eliminates clumping
and bags more efficiently you've still got the option to remove the additional blade so you've got the best of both worlds with the Crosscut system now that we've covered some basic features and functions let's dive into the specific types of mowers we offer and what to look for next time you're in the Home Depot our mowers can generally be split into two categories walk behinds and Riders regardless of the type of mower we've prioritized power and performance in every option we offer making either category a step up from your traditional gas mower let's first take
a look at the walk behinds and some of the game-changing features included to get the job done faster and easier than ever before keep in mind the questions we discussed earlier as we cover this next section between the 18vt OnePlus 40 volt and 80 volt platforms we've got mowers ranging from 13 in to 30 in for small to medium sized yards the biggest consideration for these mowers is going to be runtime every model is going to differ in this category but to give you a quick idea of what we have you're looking it anywhere from
30 minutes of runtime per charge or up to a/4 acre with our 18vt one Plus 13in Mower and up to 90 minutes or an acre with our 80 volt 30in mower again it's important to consider the platform you want to invest in or expand that way you've always got extra batteries charged and ready to go if needed once you've decided on the platform size and runtime the next thing to consider are the features within our walk behind lineup we've got push self-propelled and all-wheel drive systems the push mowers just like the name suggests require that
you push the unit with no assistance meaning the speed that the mower moves all depends on the user however our self-propelled drive system Powers the rear wheels for you helping you finish the job quickly and effortlessly meanwhile the all-wheel drive system Powers all four wheels giving you ultimate maneuverability and control in any terrain one additional feature included in some self-propelled mowers and the all-wheel drive mower is the Smart Trek technology which uses a variable speed paddle that allows you to easily adapt the mower speed to your pace for instant and precise control in addition to
these features you've also got options for height adjustment folding handles and other features with each mower however these differences we covered serve as the starting point for deciding the best mower for you when it comes to our riding mowers these are going to be the most premium lineup for large and expansive properties if after determining your yard size and needs you've decided this is your best option you're looking at two types the tractor and the zero turn starting with the tractor this option is perfect for anyone with a simple landscape prefers a familiar steering wheel
control and most importantly plans on hauling and towing as part of their regular yard maintenance both powered by three 80 volt lithium batteries the 42in and 46in unit delivers the power equivalent of up to a 23 horsepower gas engine and up to a 2 and 1/2 acre runtime per charge when the job is done the tractor fully recharges in less than 2 and 1/2 hours with the included hypercharger and onboard charging port these versatile tractors feature a rear storage bed to haul mulch logs plants and other large materials with additional compartments in the front and
