Buying a riding lawnmower can be a significant investment, so you’ll want to make sure you get a good one, like this highly-rated model at Home Depot.
When it comes to riding mowers, a handful of brands typically come to mind as the most reliable. While you may try to save some money by going with a no-name or budget brand for cheaper things like hand tools or smaller equipment like hedge and string trimmers, you’re not going to want to skimp on a riding mower. You’ll likely spend at least a few thousand dollars on one, so you’ll want to make sure you’re getting a quality-made machine that’s worth the investment, especially since — in addition to helping keep larger lawns looking sharp — there are several other ways you can use your riding lawn mower around your property.
Availability is another important factor concerning which riding mower you go with. Some brands may not be available at the retailer you’re shopping at — for example, most Ryobi products are exclusive to Home Depot, but the hardware chain doesn’t carry Husqvarna mowers. So, if you’re buying your riding mower at Home Depot, your options are limited to just a handful of brands, like Ryobi, Murray, and Cub Cadet.
According to user reviews, the best of the brands available at Home Depot is Troy-Bilt.

According to users who’ve left feedback on Home Depot’s website, Troy-Bilt offers not one but multiple riding mowers that are better than the competition. Three of its products — all part of its Mustang series — have a strong customer score of 4.6 out of 5, based on hundreds of user reviews. Plus, its Super Bronco mowers also have solid, if not as high, overall user scores. (However, Troy-Bilt Pony riding lawn mowers aren’t rated as highly as either of these lines.
