Lawn mowers are produced in many designs and power sources and are designed to cut grass in lawns and public areas such as parks and golf courses. Robotic Mowers autonomously mow an area.

These mowers are powered either through human effort or engine power; when the reel mower is moved forward the reel moves, cutting the grass.
