Goplus Lawn Mower, 13 Inch 2-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower with Grass Collection Bag, Folding Handle, Adjustable Cutting Height, Corded Push Lawn Mowers for Garden Yard, 12 Amp (Green) Review

Overview

The Goplus 13-inch 2-in-1 Electric Lawn Mower is a compact, corded push mower designed for small lawns, tight spaces, and budget-conscious homeowners who want a reliable, no-fuss cutting tool without the hassle of gas or batteries. With a 12-amp motor, adjustable cutting height, and a grass collection bag, it’s best suited for yards under 1/4 acre—especially those with narrow gates, uneven terrain, or lots of obstacles like flower beds and trees.

Who Should Buy This

1. Homeowners with tiny lawns (under 1/8 acre) – If your yard is more postage stamp than pasture, this 13-inch deck is perfect. It maneuvers easily around tight corners and fits in sheds where bigger mowers won’t.

2. Apartment or townhouse dwellers with small patches of grass – Lightweight and compact, it’s easy to haul up a flight of stairs or store in a closet. The folding handle makes it even more space-efficient.

3. First-time lawn mower buyers on a budget – At $129.99, it’s one of the most affordable corded mowers out there. No mixing gas, no charging batteries—just plug in and mow.

4. Homeowners who hate dealing with gas, oil, and carburetors – If you want a mower that starts every time with zero maintenance, this corded electric is your ticket. No winterizing, no stale fuel, no pull-cord frustration.

Key Features Breakdown

13-inch cutting deck – This is a narrow deck, which means you’ll take more passes than with a 20-inch mower. But it also means you can mow under low-hanging shrubs, between tight fence posts, and through narrow gates. It’s a trade-off that makes sense for small, intricate lawns.

12-amp motor – For a 13-inch mower, 12 amps is solid. It provides enough torque to cut through typical grass without bogging down, even in slightly damp conditions. It won’t handle thick, overgrown weeds or tall, wet grass, but for regular weekly cuts, it’s more than sufficient.

2-in-1 function (mulch or rear bag) – You can either collect clippings in the included grass bag or mulch them back into the lawn. Mulching is great for fertilizing naturally, but the bag works well if you prefer a clean, manicured look. Note: there’s no side discharge option, so if you want to blow clippings out to the side, this isn’t your mower.

Adjustable cutting height – There are three height positions, controlled by a simple lever on the deck. It’s not the 5-7 settings you’ll find on premium mowers, but it covers the basics: short, medium, and tall. The lowest setting is about 1.5 inches, the highest around 3 inches. That’s enough for most cool-season grasses but might be limiting if you need a very tall cut for warm-season varieties.

Folding handle – The handle collapses without tools, making storage easy in tight spaces. It’s a plastic handle, so it’s not as durable as metal, but it does the job for light-duty use.

Grass collection bag – The bag is small—about 7-8 gallons. On a tiny lawn, that’s fine. On anything larger than 1/8 acre, you’ll be emptying it multiple times per mow. It attaches with a simple hook-and-loop system, and it’s easy to dump.

12-amp motor / corded design – The 100-foot extension cord requirement is a real limitation. You’ll need a heavy-duty outdoor cord (12 or 14 gauge) to avoid voltage drop. The cord can be a tripping hazard and a hassle to manage around trees and flower beds.

Pros

• Instant start – No priming, no choke, no pull cord. Flip the switch and you’re mowing. This is the single biggest advantage over gas mowers.
• Lightweight and easy to push – At around 25 pounds, it’s significantly lighter than any gas mower. Great for seniors or anyone who struggles with heavy equipment.
• Excellent for tight spaces – The 13-inch deck and folding handle make it ideal for navigating around gardens, between raised beds, and through narrow walkways.
• Low maintenance – No oil changes, no air filters, no spark plugs. Just keep the blade sharp and the deck clean.
• Quiet operation – It’s not silent, but it’s much quieter than a gas mower. You can mow early in the morning without waking the neighbors.
• Affordable price – At $129.99, it’s one of the cheapest electric mowers on the market. For the price, you get reliable performance for small lawns.

Cons

• Small cutting deck – 13 inches means lots of passes. On a 1/4-acre lawn, you’ll be pushing it for an hour or more. This is strictly for small yards.
• Limited cutting height options – Only three settings. If you need a precise cut for Bermuda or Zoysia grass (which often requires a low setting around 1 inch or a high setting above 3 inches), you’ll be out of luck.
• Cord management is a pain – You’ll need a heavy-duty extension cord (not included), and you’ll constantly be watching your back to avoid running over it or tripping. The cord can also get tangled in shrubs.
• Grass bag is small – Expect to empty it every 5-10 minutes on a typical lawn. If you’re mulching, you don’t need the bag, but for bagging, it’s a chore.
• Plastic handle feels flimsy – It works, but it doesn’t inspire confidence. Over time, the plastic may crack under stress, especially if you’re rough with it.

Bottom Line

The Goplus 13-inch electric mower is a solid, budget-friendly choice for anyone with a very small lawn—think 1/8 acre or less—who wants a lightweight, low-maintenance tool that starts every time without drama. It’s not built for big yards, thick grass, or heavy-duty use, but for its intended purpose (tiny, intricate lawns and first-time buyers), it delivers reliable performance at a price that’s hard to beat. If your yard is under 1,500 square feet and you don’t want to mess with gas or batteries, this mower is a smart buy. For anything larger, look for a 14-amp model with a wider deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use a standard household extension cord with this mower?
