Can you cut the grass when it's wet with an electric mower

Can you cut grass while it’s wet? Short answer: No. Whether it’s early morning and the lawn is still dewy, a rainstorm just ended, or you just ran your sprinklers, you should skip the mow for now.

Why should you not cut grass when it's wet

This article will explain all the reasons why you shouldn’t mow wet grass. 

Mowing the lawn while it’s wet can cause:

Uneven cuts

For a clean, even cut, grass needs to stand up straight as the blade slices through it, rather than bending over limply.

Think of it as the difference between cutting a string that’s pulled taut vs. a loose one.

But when the grass is wet, the water weighs it down, so it can’t stand up straight. The result is that the mower blades tear through the grass messily rather than cutting it cleanly. 

Another potential issue is that the mower might miss some of those blades of grass hanging low to the ground.

Then, when the grass dries, you’ll be left with long, uncut patches, and you’ll have to mow again.
