@@SamFr1000 I like it. It works well. The only drawbacks for me are it's pretty heavy and hard to push and maneuver on my uneven yard since it isn't self propelled and the batteries run out before I'm done. Can't afford to buy more batteries. But, it still works better for me than a pull start!

EGO is the real deal. I Love the mower, trimmer, and blower of theirs that I bought. Zero problems and outstanding performance and quality. They came with a 5 year warranty too. Getting ready to buy their Hedger next. I will never go back to gas power again. No more gas fumes, oil changes, spark plug changes, clogged carburetors, pulling cord to start, and lets not forget the way louder operation noise level either and the heavier weight of gas powered equipment. You say good bye to all of that when you buy EGO instead. Pop battery in and just press start. Start with their lawnmower first and you will be an instant believer of their products trust me !!!

i read/watched a lot of reviews last year when my 23 year old Black and Decker corded mower died. All of those reviews placed the 80 volt self propelled Kobalt as one of the highest rated of the mowers tested. I purchased it because of so many positive reviews and because of the 5 year warranty. I am very happy with it and it will even cut my yard when the grass is wet and overgrown which is something my previous corded mower would not do.

Had that not come available home depot had a Ryobi on sale for $349, that was the next choice.

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

The best cordless lawn mower comparison video out there. Not only did you cover a lot of categories but you included a wide array of manufacturers. A lot of comparisons would not have included products from Hart or B&D as the perception of those manufacturers is not as high as others like DeWalt and Makita. The average consumer of these products is driven by price. At the same time, they want to know if they're getting their money's worth. A video like this does them a great service by providing them with enough data to make an informed decision. Personally, I just purchased the Greenworks 40v 21" mower. It arrives in a few days so I haven't used it yet. When this video popped up on my feed, I had to watch. While the model I chose was not reviewed in this test, I am confident that I made a good choice with a Greenworks product. I can't wait to take for a spin. Thank you for all you do, Rob. There are only a handful of channels that to well rounded reviews and this is one of the best. And hey, my name is Rob, too, so there has to be something to that, right?

Just bought the Ryobi 40V/6Ah battery mower yesterday. Besides getting used to having to release the self-propelled handle to turn the other big issue is that it's so light it literally pops wheelies while I'm mowing and I have to go back over that spot because it didn't cut it down low enough while the front wheels were lifted. I have a medium size yard and was able to cut the whole yard with one charge. I have St. Agustine grass but it's really dry and I had the mower up 2nd lowest height level and it went through it with no problems. I'm not sure how it would do if the grass was slightly wet as it normally is in the spring. It does also leave a few blades uncut here and there. I think I'll stick with it though. Much better than dealing with the odor of gasoline.

@@garybrewer1035 We live in Arizona, so we don't have a lot of grass, but just enough that it takes about 20 minutes to mow it. We moved here from Chicago with a gas mower, but 7 years ago we sold it and purchased a Ryobi 1+ cordless mower, and couldn't be happier. I'm not claiming it's the best on the market, because when we purchased it, there weren't a lot of choices for cordless mowers on the market, but it does a great job for what we use it for. It does take two batteries though. However, our Ryobi mower looks nothing like the one in this video.

EGO is the way to go....in my opinion..I have one and it's really nice and holds up

[@judge724]

I bought the Makita because it will last the longest and has amazing capabilities. Watched a ton of videos and came away with that conclusion! Bought one from Home Depot and couldn't be happier! It really is a BEAST like you mentioned! I cut a huge yard with 14" grass, and it did awesome! Went through 4 battery changes, but I think normal maintenance mowing it could be done with 2 battery changes. But with the 4 batteries it comes with, plus 2 I already had, I never had any downtime! The Makita is definitely made to last for MANY years and is an absolute joy to operate. Like you said toward the beginning, I was also amazed at how quiet it is!! With that much power? It seems impossible, but it's real!! I think they put more engineering into the Makita than the other mowers.

[@didequen3339]

i liked it too but it has some principle problems starting with 18V design. Most other switched to 40V or higher due to the demand of more powerful tools but it is still stuck with this 18V (2 battery in series to get 36V is a bad usage, it will kill battery fast)

[@Sir_Pants_Alot]

I have a Kobalt and have been very happy with it. Considering the magnitude of just how much less it costs than anything else and how similar performance levels were across the board between nearly everything evaluated I'm somewhat surprised it wasn't the budget pick.

do you keep swapping batteries? How do you charge the batteries while running around town to the various jobs?

[@stevenfjaxsen8464]

Really? You let it get rained on constantly like that? Every video on that mower talks about how crucial it is to not allow the mower to get wet by cleaning it with a water hose because getting water in the mortar will destroy. In the instruction booklet it basically says on every page multiple times to not allow the mortar to get wet! And to not clean the mower with a water hose or pressure washer hose like at a car wash. Given that the vents for the motor are on the sides at the top of the mower right below where the battery open and close protector lid shuts makes it seem like what you are saying is either untrue or they over exaggerate greatly about water getting in the vents into the motor which will cause significant damage to the motor!

I don't understand how a mower which is the quietest, best built, long run time and "commercial design beast" with Makita's quality, OPE and tool options finished behind Black and Decker. It won more categories and finished 6th? Who cares that the handle doesn't fold. I prefer it doesn't and when I look at all the plastic parts on Ego and Greenworks, those WILL break. Plastic deck mowers are too light, steel deck mowers WILL rust. Makita offers an aluminum deck (DLM533Z, which is the mower that I have) and it will be around far longer than most if not all in the test. Same can be said about Makita's batteries and brushless motor. Also, there is a reason it doesn't have rubber on the handle, let's see how good the rubber overmold is on the Ego in three years. The other thing this review doesn't do is talk about batteries and chargers. I can mow non-stop using two batteries in the mower (5Ah) and by the time I deplete two, the other two on the charger are full. The last thing I will say is that the Makita is even MORE quiet in quiet mode. The Makita should have been number 1 or 2 in this review, certainly NOT 6.

[@saliston]

Great review. I have ab ego trimmer and it's a beast. I have the 2ah battery and it does my whole fenced in half acre on one charge. Much better then gas. I did have a battery issue at two and a half years. They shipped me a new battery after only a 10 minute call. That was great customer service.

[@mccartneystuart]

My 2 cents: bought a country property a year ago and the prior owners had the greenworks mower/small chainsaw/ and pole saw combo. They left all to me as they downsized on property. Appreciated it very much as I wanted to see how the battery packs held up. I'm a construction contractor so I have a slew of battery operated tools of all kinds. The combo was bought 2.5 years prior to me owning it. Once the season of mowing started I got the mower out and the mower wouldn't recognize the batteries were installed. I can build and fix just about anything. Inspecting underneath the mower and one of the blades were missing, further inspection the shaft the blade attaches to was extremely wobbling and looked like the bearings the shaft attaches to were broken. I have a 4 year old Honda gas mower that is a beast. There was an old yard machine with Briggs and Stratton engine in the shed on the property that had not been ran in years. So derelict it had an inch of dirt accumulated in the gas tank. After cleaning it out, changing oil, and spark plug, it fired right up no problem. The greeworks mower is so light it feels like my kids toy, positive thing if it worked. The chainsaw is barely faster than using an axe. Haven't used the pole saw yet. The durability and longevity of this system is subpar. If you're on a 1/4 acre lot and a tiny yard then it may last but in my experience, it's garbage. The push to get rid of combustion engines and manufacturers trying to put out ill engineered machines is just not there yet. My gas powered Honda mower is a Cadillac compared to the rinky dinky greenworks 90% plastic "toy."

One big consideration people should look at if they're not already buying based on existing battery platform, is the weight of the mower. In this comparison there's a 40ish pound spread among the models.

I bought an Ego LM2125SP the other day. I love everything about it. The convenience of not having to check/change/fill oil. Not having to store gas, add fuel stabilizer, and worry about bad gas by the end of the cutting season. It folds up compactly in my little 10x10 shed. Drop the battery in and start cutting. The self-propelled controls are nice and easy to use without having to really think about it. The quality of the cut is great (single blade model here) and I can cut my grass on my lot 3-4 times if needed on one charge of the 7.5AH battery. This is my first self propelled mower and I am sure the extra money spent will be well worth it once the Louisiana summer heat kicks in any day now. I love it so much, I am going back to Lowes this morning to pick up an Ego trimmer and blower. My mom and my sister each have a Kobalt push mower and neither have had any problems with them. They seem to be very capable machines.

[@futureproof80]

Really impressed by this in-depth review…beats the crap out of most vague/voice over videos. Great work! Well, my decision has finally been made up…I’m going for the EGO 21”. Tough one, as Greenworks (both) are superb mowers. 👌

[@VOOODOOO377]

Love my Ryobi 40v just bought it, its quiet, and good battery power. I ran out of grass to cut so kept cutting until the batter died. The deck height lever is positioned well. Has on board battery storage for swapping out.. Love that it mulches or bags. Love that there isnt a side discharge, eliminated dangerous eye debris and dust/dirt. Much more quiet than a gas mower

[@Joel-om1qw]

Do you still like your purchase? And if you had to give a ball park figure for your lawn, what would that be?

[@EricLS]

I use my EGO Self-Propelled as a push mower a large percentage of the time. It's indistinguishable from a push mower and gains a ton of run time. I only use self propel up my steep sections, and to start and awkward turn around. There's no "need" to use the self propel all the time.

[@karkitty202]

Is the ego worth it? It’s looking like the best one IMO.

[@EricLS]

@@karkitty202 it’s great. Is it THE BEST? Dunno. The one thing I will say is that their battery design is superb. The charger has a fan that the pulls air through hundreds of holes in the battery to cool all the cells individually. The older batteries tended not to have a fuel gauge on them just a green or red light which is kind of a bummer, but most of the new ones have the gauge on them. I think the only thing about these battery powered mowers is they use fairly lightweight low lift blades, so don’t have as much vacuum to lift grass as a gas mower, that said you can get a high lift blade.

It's like you knew I needed help picking a new lawnmower! My workhorse 20+ y.o. corded B&D Lawn Hog is finally dying and I was researching cordless battery options. Then this video popped up in my recommendations! Thanks for the thorough, informative and detailed video! I'm going to get the Greenworks 21" for my 1/4 acre urban yard. Thanks for your fab video! Question? Did you happen to do a battery life over time video? Because some battery operated tools have batteries that up and die and then finding replacement parts is a challenge! It would be cool to see how these batteries perform over time.

[@darrinanddonna]

Love my self propelled EGO mower , I believe it’s the only battery where you can charge it up straight after removing it from the mower. The battery will also self discharge down to storage charge if you haven’t used it for a while which means the battery will last longer. Mine is now 4 years old and is still perfect. Subbed and liked 😎👍

[@davidmiller4594]

I just bought a makita dux60 cordless with a trimmer attachment. I was skeptical for 6 months. I use a 4 stroke 30cc trimmer and love the power of that thing. Makita says the dux60 at full power is equal to my 30cc. Yeah right, maybe for 5 min. I kept seeing vids on my feed and started watching them. Well, my yard got over grown. I ordered it, ups took over a week to get here. The weeds were over 2 feet high and thick. The batteries take a while to charge. It came with two 5 ah batteries and I had two 4 ah for my drill that's about two years old. The power is just like using my 30cc. With the 2 sets. I'm able to go almost non stop. By far the best way to go. I will be ordering the lawnmower next. I wish you guys reviewed the makita lineup. I'm really impressed with their system.

What a good video! It is absolutely necessary to listen to this video BEFORE buying a mower. I would add that Tool Box Buzz is with Project Farm a must BEFORE any purchase of tools or work accessories. For my part, the motorized function of the propulsion is really not necessary and will automatically give greater autonomy to the mower. Also, it is really no longer necessary to have a gas mower for a good mowing. Greenworks will make significant profits in future years with the price of gas skyrocketing, although that is not such a big factor. I would say the noise is more... Well done Tool Box Buzz!!!

Have you tested the CAT 60V mower?

[@ConcordCarpenter]

*** CORRECTION ** EGO tied for the best mower with the 21" Greenworks mower. Third place went to the 25" Greenworks and Black and Decker coming in 6-points behind the top two mowers. A subscriber pointed out an error in one of the calculated values. When we recalculated the battery voltage the Greenworks did better on an Sq ft/ watt hr basis. That’s why it moved up to a tie.

[@ElectricIguana]

Great effort overall on the head-to-head! Respectfully, however, I think there are some significant errors with the Greenworks 21" evaluation. Especially your "best value" recommendation for the GW21. "Best value" was stated as being based on a $350 price tag with a 4 AH battery. Price is incorrect and the rankings were based on 9AH worth of batteries. First, the price quoted for the Greenworks 21" is incorrect. It was quoted at $350 with a 4AH battery verbally (21:45), but the screen shot clearly says $450 (accurate). From the website (at time of publication), this year's model is not available for less than $380 in the Tool Only version. Still not a bad value relatively, but it's definitely not the "2nd lease expensive". For only $50 more, the 25" is available with 6AH worth of batteries (4+2), however this may only be a temporary holiday sale price (7/7/2020). A strong case could be made for the Black and Decker at it's price point. On top of that, Greenworks does NOT offer a 5.0+4.0 battery package with this year's 21" model, which was what was used for the Watt Hours calculation (10:30). GW21 was given 3rd place in that category based on batteries that are not included with the mower (12:35). And it is certainly not available with those batteries at either of the prices quoted verbally or on-screen.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

K. M. Looks like I said 339 instead of 449. The GW 21 is the. Best value in this group, regardless of batteries

If you ever repeat this test I would be very interested to see how it performs if you fertilize that field before mowing and how they perform when mulching leaves in the fall.

Did you reach out to Toro to check out their Toro Recycler 21" SmartStow 60 Volt lithium-ion battery walk behind mower?

[@barrettwbenton]

I was hoping they'd have Toro in there as well. Just bought the 21" 60v Recycler (replacing its gas-powered equivalent, bought six years ago), and so far it's been great: mows a 25' square front lawn and 100' x 25' yard, using only half the battery's capacity. Can't beat the ease of starting, relative quiet and emission-free operation.

Good job on the video. I purchased a GREEN Machine from HomeDepot. It came with tw0 62 volt batteries, it ran flawless, the battery lasted 45 min. each. I tried to get cutting blades for the mower. At the time Home Depot didn't carry the blades. The blades were unique and didn't work with anything else. The mower was a 22" and I liked it. I returned it to HOME DEPOT because I like to keep a couple of extra blades so I can always have a sharp blade.

Hey Joel, I saw your comment under a post knowing that you have a battery powered lawn mower, isn't it great? I’m doing a survey about using the electric outdoor powered equipment including the mower, but I’m not an electric mower owner. Could I exchange some opinions with you so that I might get some in-person experience? I’d like to pay 100 dollars for a conversation with you, appreciated!

[@Mr-Chris]

I had the twin blade EGO mower for several weeks, then I got to use an older Honda Mower and was amazed how the cut quality was WAY better than the new EGO. Also I had a lot of trouble mulching leaves and lawn debris with the EGO. So I returned the EGO and bought a new Honda.

[@plmn93]

Despite what their marketing claims, battery mowers have nowhere near the same power as gas mowers. They are about 2.5 HP tops, or half of an entry level gas mower. They make up for this a bit with torque and by using smaller blades, but you still need HP to do work.

[@rickyb8636]

I bought a new Honda mower because the EGO snow blower I bought last year was way under powered and I thought the lawn mower would be the same.

What are we realistically looking at for battery life with the lithium batteries? We picked up a Ryobi 40v as well as the weed eater and blower. Last set of the latter, Home Depot in SLC sold 81 Ryobis in the past week and had 95 more coming in. The setup worked fabulous, on the first mow of the year.

[@stephenskierski5633]

Beginning of this year Lowes had the Kobalt on sale. Add another 10% off with veterans discount I paid $250 out the door for the 40v push mower. I chose the push mower because of the weight, even with a steel deck it weighs nothing compared to a gas mower and I walk faster than the maximum speed on the self propelled. I have a medium sized yard and the large 5 mili amp hour battery only uses about 50% to mow front and back. I bought the weed eater off Amazon minus a battery and am able to mow and weed eat on one battery charge. I think you should have pointed out the mowers with plastic decks and dinged those some points, plastic gets brittle over time and I don't see any of those being around a long time. I also like that the kobalt senses the thickness of what you are mowing and auto adjusts the speed of the blade to match your cutting conditions. I think that is something else that should have been pointed out.

[@gerrymaddock9234]

I also purchased the Kobalt with my veterans discount. I love it. I can double cut my front and back yard and still have enough charge for the next mow. I have the self propelled, but don’t use it to save the battery. I’m very happy with the Kobalt.

one thing i've wondered - how are the batteries treated between mowing and over the winter? during the summer i suppose you keep them in the charger, but what do i do when the mower is in the shed for a month or two (i'm in texas - not a long winter)? do you charge them up and set them aside, or wear them down and leave them until spring?
