10 Best Riding Mowers for Every Lawn in 2024, According to Experts

Want the best riding lawn mower on the market? Check out our top picks to make your lawn the best in the neighborhood.

Marc Mayer, lawn expert and TruGreen’s director of technical operations says, “Commonly, homeowners explore a riding lawn mower to save time and/or energy if they have a large lawn area that takes a lot of energy to utilize a walk-behind mower.” Those with a large lawn but little patience for pushing a lawn mower should upgrade to the best riding lawn mower for their yard. Instead of walking behind the lawn mower, the operator sits on top as the blades whirl in the cutting deck below. Riding lawnmowers come in many sizes and styles, offering plenty of options to fit your budget and needs.

The finest Italian automobiles

Ah! Que bella machina! In the era of the automobile, Italy has gained a reputation for producing the most beautiful cars. It may be a cultural thing, since many of the most reputed car designers on the planet, including Pininfarina, Bertone, Giugiaro, Touring, Frua, and Ghia, come from the land of Dante. Italian automakers were not the only ones to benefit from the Italian knack for automotive design, since these designers have also lent their creative genius to plenty of other manufacturers. For example, Volkswagen’s Karmann Ghia, Rabbit, and Scirocco models were all devised by Italian masters. Same goes for the Cadillac Allanté, the humble Hyundai Excel, or the extravagant Lotus Esprit, DeLorean DMC-12, and Subaru SVX. To properly illustrate the full scope of the Italian eye for alluring bodywork, here’s a list of Italian cars manufactured in small or large production runs. These masterpieces show us that cars are much more than just a way to get from point A to point B—they’re art on wheels!
