← BEST CORDLESS MOWER
Greenworks MO60L423 $700
Electric outdoor power pressed
its advance on gas-engine equip-
ment in every category last year,
whether it was chainsaws, string
trimmers, or, in this case, lawn
mowers. The MO60L423 is the
best example of that. Green-
works has developed a deck,
blade, battery, and motor con-
figuration to produce the first
wide-cut mower in the cordless
category, increasing cut width
from the typical 16- to 21-inch
range to just under 25 inches.
The result is this highly nimble
and productive 60-volt mower
that helps you get the job done a
little faster. Our tests found that
its cut quality and bagging are
both excellent, and we also like
how it allows you to engage the
drive without the blade turning.
This enables you to quickly and
safely wheel it out of the garage
and to the cut area and back,
without picking up and f linging
a stray rock off the driveway.

↓ BEST CORDED PRESSURE WASHER
Greenworks GPW 2700 $349
A constant-run motor powers the GPW, turning
even when you’re not pulling the trigger, which
improves response and reduces pump priming.
The 35-foot power cable eliminates the need for
an extension cord in most cases. That conve-
nience alone is worth the slightly high price.

↑ BEST CORDLESS POWER CLEANER
Worx WG649 $300
The Worx Hydro Shot Ultra, as it’s also known, delivers ample
small-scale power to wash a car, pickup, or a couple of muddy
bikes. It feeds off of a pair of 20-volt batteries to provide that sim-
ple, compact, dirt-blasting power where you need it.
