Winnowl Verdict
At an AVERAGE (73) Winnowl Index, the PowerSmart DB2821 Battery Powered Push Lawn Mower offers top-tier specs, but the lack of value at this price point makes it a difficult choice. You get Strong Performance with this unit, but it comes at the cost of Mediocre Value and only Average Brand Strength to back it up. The PowerSmart DB2821 Battery Powered Push Lawn Mower (21-Inch, 80V, 6.0Ah Battery, Brushless) offers a 80 V Battery Voltage that beats the average by 75% and means you should effectively clear heavy brush and thick stalks that would typically require a professional-grade gas mower, yet the $399.99 price makes this a poor value for the Battery Powered Push Lawn Mowers category. We suggest checking out other Battery Powered Push Lawn Mowers in the class; paying a 52% premium for 16% less value doesn't make sense unless you can't find this level of performance in another product.
