EGO 21 in 56 Volt Lithium Ion Self Propelled Lawn Mower LM2102SP

[@lisab.1595]

I just purchased this model with the 7.5AH Now that I'm a widow, I'm not into gas cans, filling them, all the maintenance etc. Your video really helped me. They're delivering it tomorrow. Never thought I'd be excited over a lawnmower, however , after the gas units, this is a total plus !!

[@williamswanfeld38]

Greatjob on the features and benefits,I'm going to Lowe's

[@michaelsiebesma4535]

This is a great mower. I love mine. I have only one complaint. I bought my mower used. It has issues. I have to pull wires to get it going. To do this i had to by pass several of the safety switches. Not good. I have called EGO. They are not very cooperative in telling you were to get it fixed. So I continue to use it with all the switches hanging out. I have many people that ask about what kind of mower it is. It is so much fun to run And it does a super job as do the rest of thier products which I bought new. I just want it to be fixed right. I still love EGO and wont go back to ICE power.

[@davidmorad4405]

Excellent overview!

[@clintmurray9815]

I ordered the newest model, this one, two days ago. I was looking for tips on how to get started, and thanks to your video, it couldn't be simpler. Better than reading the manual. I couldn't believe I had just spent $599 (plus tax) for a mower, so I was seeking some reassurance that I hadn't made a mistake. Thanks for the great review. I'm normally a person who puts off grass mowing as long as possible, but now can't wait to put it to use. I think I am really going to love this mower. As for the money spent, well, I'm 79 years old, worked hard all my life, and I think I deserve this mower.

[@WorkshopAddict]

We just did a cut test with it. Check the recent videos on our channel. It is impressive.

[@nelsonmccoy4120]

never knew that the motors were different until now. Just got a self propelled and love it. Used my 2.5 weed eater battery to show a friend and he mowed my yard for me when not so needed but he loved it. Yes much left in battery even a 2.5 but not much to moe but got almost a bag.

[@robtvollmer1806]

good review

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

BAG LOOKS KINDA SMALL ! ANY IDEA ON HOW LONG A BATTERY WOULD LAST ? I'M NOT TALKING RUN TIME. I'M TALKING 3 YEARS 4 OR WHAT BECAUSE THEY ARE BIG BUCKS TO REPLACE.

[@WorkshopAddict]

They have only been out for 3 years, so long term testing has not had time to be complete. But so far, our 3 year old batteries are still great.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

[@MikeJacksonwow]

Excellent products! I have the first blower and it was incredible! However, upon reviewing the new blower for 2016 with 500+ CFM I was able to return the first blower within the 90 day return policy by Home Depot. Best of the best! I have the Ego 15 inch trimmer and it is amazing! I am sold on all Ego products so far.

[@Mowers11]

I just purchased the new select cut ego mower and love it. Model number is 2135sp. Is has two blades and cuts better than gas models without the sound.

[@matthatez9799]

Thinking about purchasing this mower. The video was very helpful and informative. Thank you!

[@WorkshopAddict]

Welcome!

[@brianm.9451]

I purchased and use the EGO 21" push version. Let me say one thing: it's light. It's easy to maneuver and it cuts really well. I can cut my lot in one charge (my lot isn't terribly huge) which takes me about 40 minutes. The push mower came with the 5.0 amp hour battery and the quick charger only takes 30 minutes for a full charge. Not bad.

[@apr9286]

I have tight turning area does , can I pull back to mower backwards even if its a self propel mower? Never own a self propel one before.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Yes, but the EGO model will lock the wheels unless you let off the SP lever and ouch a few unches forward, then pull back. Easy to get used to

[@apr9286]

@@WorkshopAddict does the charger that comes with this mower able to charge all the EGO batteries platform? I see i come with the rapid charger

...Great review...I just got a house and have a smaller yard and a rather cramped garage as well with my tool chest, car and motorcycle in there... stacking an electric unit that looks like the size of a larger suitcase ... I am sold ... though I could fix a gas engine this is nice... you also sold me on sticking to go with a self propelled unit...

[@jaycarneygiants]

How many cycles do all of these batteries get?

[@WorkshopAddict]

about 500

[@tmarcum]

I have this mower. I’ve had it for two years now and I love it! The self propelled feature is very nice even on flat ground. You don’t have to push at all. You just walk behind this mower. Mows for about an hour then recharges within an hour, 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much the battery is depleted. I’ll never use a gas mower again!

[@dave2329]

Super helpful video!! I especially appreciate that you being 6'4" have no issue with the handle height as I'm the same height. I haven't bought the unit yet and cant find handle-height specs. Many years ago I tried a B&D electric mower and returned it very quickly due to wimpy power. Sounds like the Ego units have far more power than the B&D unit I had. I'm excited to get away from gas, even though my Honda still works very well.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Dave From the floor up to the bottom of the handle you would hold onto is 37" in low, 41" in medium and 46" in high position measuring to the bottom of the handle. Hope that helps with the height of the three positions.

[@dave2329]

+WorkshopAddict awesome. Thank you. I will measure my current handle height on my Honda to see how that compares. my local Home Depots don't have the Ego so I will have to search alternative vendors to find it. I am in San Jose California

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Dave I have read that stores are sold out and most or ordering online with free shipping to the store. www.homedepot.com/p/EGO-21-in-56-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Self-Propelled-Lawn-Mower-LM2102SP/206515944

[@dave2329]

+WorkshopAddict I just ordered online and should see it arrive by May 11th. I measured my Honda's handle--it sits 41.5" from the ground, so the handle height of the Ego should be fine for me.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Dave Glad we could help you with your decision. Please help others and report back on how much you like it.

[@izzath83]

Hi Guys, how this mower doing after few years of usage. How long the battery lasts?

[@ChrisGill]

Thanks for the review! Just bought a new home and am needing a new mower. Have been on the fence about getting an electric and this has made me a believer! Going to pick this model up from Home Depot on the way home tonight!

[@ChrisGill]

Love it! Mowed my entire yard on one charge. Grass was REALLY thick so it didn't get cut perfectly even, but I'm not blaming the mower on that one. Battery charges a lot faster than I thought it would. Only time will tell, but construction feels solid and I hope this mower lasts me a long time! Photo of my backyard post mowing: www.dropbox.com/s/oq7qcohw9ntllnr/electric_mower_back_yard_2017.jpg?dl=0

[@kristynprinzo6260]

Just bought one yesterday and I'm in love! I never thought I'd enjoy mowing the lawn, but this seriously makes it suck so much less and actually makes it enjoyable! The self propel feature is seriously worth the extra money. I have hills in my yard and it makes it so much easier. Also nice when you're turning around because it helps you get the mower going without having to exert yourself. Seriously, buy this god damn mower! And, if you need a weed whacker...The ego weed eater is a BOSS!! Only thing to note is the price of the batteries...Very high. The performance makes up for this imo. If you're wondering if this could handle high grass...IT CAN! My grass was around 2 feet long in certain spots! Cut it without issue just had to take my time in those spots cuz it needed to get through so much grass.

[@JT-sl3ui]

You’re so correct! I thought 💭 I was losing it that I WANTED to cut the grass!!! EGO=AWESOME!! 👍🏻✌🏻💙

[@timshinkle2782]

I bought this, the mower works well, but the battery didn't even last a season before it degraded to about 30%. The battery is the Achilles heel.

[@jmatt98]

Tim Shinkle yikes $200 for a new battery 🔋

[@timshinkle2782]

Looks like my battery wasn't charging correctly for some reason, works better now.

[@murc111]

I doubt the blade spins faster on the self propelled version, I'm sure the only reason it has a bigger motor is because it's also driving the wheels. I'll likely get the push version, since my lawn is really small. But the mower looks great, to bad they don't have the snow blower/thrower model, so I could use the same battery & charger for that as well. Hopefully they will make that next.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Derek Ash The motor for the self-propulsion is separate from the motor for the blade. A snow blower is rumored to be out this fall.

[@murc111]

+WorkshopAddict - Well, I went to HD, and bought it. lol (the push version, small yard) Then mowed my lawn with it, I love that thing, when it's running it's sounds like a standard box fan on high...not the least bit obnoxious. I hope they do release a snow blower...although last fall I bought a 80v Greenworks snow thrower...it ain't bad, but if their (EGO) snowblowers are going to be like their lawn mowers, SIGN ME UP. :)

[@Los714]

I was thinking of buying this ego mower lp2102sp online. Would anybody recommend this mower or should I go with one of the newer ones?

[@traumajock]

I want one. I think there oughta be a spare battery caddy area, maybe on the front of the deck. I also have to wonder. 40 volt lithiums came out, now 56. What's next? 100 volt? 200? small battery powered riders? remote controlled units? Maybe I should wait a little. I only use a push (or self propel) for trim up and ditches.

[@WorkshopAddict]

traumajock There are 80 and 82 volt mowers on the market. IMHO, a spare battery tray just adds weight. Not many people need more than one battery. Most people who use these can mow thier lawn in less than 50 minutes.

[@eddyhaze8239]

just got mine today the push one I see no need for self propelled but brushless one would be nice but way too much money I think ego is the best ..better battery cooling. ... thicker on the sides that don't give in so if you brush along a tree the side frame wont bend in and hit the blades .. easy to push cuts great ..

[@acereport8939]

Great review👍. I'm glad that you compared this model to the 20 inch version as I have that model. I bought this 21 inch lawnmower for my mom. I'm glad to hear that its more powerful. I think that the main feature of these mowers is that they are relatively quiet. I live in Florida where we cut our grass all year around. Noise pollution from gas machines is a HUGE problem around here. I wish there was some incentive for people to use electric because whenever my neighbors mow their lawns, I cannot record anything for my KZbin projects, I can't hear my TV, or even sleep because people around here always use extremely loud gas blowers, mowers, trimmers and even gas edgers, ugh! Get with the times people, it's 2017 for crying out loud! I've got almost all the EGO equipment except the chainsaw which I might be buying soon. It's so much easier to pop in a battery rather than mixing oil and gas and stinking up your house. Hopefully gas equipment will become obsolete soon. I'll never buy another gas mower again! Your right about the blade too. I get a much cleaner cut. My yard always looks better than my neighbors and she pays a professional lawn service.

[@gaphoogys]

I use gas everything...but this mower is pretty sweet...I think my favorite thing is the transportation option, where it helps you move it while the blade isn't spinning...that is awesome! this would do very well for people over 60. I might have to get this for my dad on father's day or something

[@Bricks56]

Self propel wear out wheels really fast, so if your yard is flat I don't see a need for it. The mower is built really well and the wheels have bearings in them making it easy to push

[@mdkk]

I think I made a big mistake being cheap and not getting the self propelled option.

[@birdsenter7607]

I've got mine ordered, along with the string trimmer and blower.

[@WorkshopAddict]

We are impressed with the blower and how it did with snow!

[@guapoman2000]

Just an Excellent Product Review! You are the best in demonstration and informing me of all the features! It's too Bad that the KOBALT 80V doesn't have Self Propelled but, I am happy I found your video as this one looks like a winner in technology, easy of storage and best the 1,000 Watt brushless Motor!

[@terrytexas8257]

I bought the original 4Ah unit and was disappointed in the performance since it wouldn't cut my whole yard on one charge. So it went back, and had to buy another gas mower. Which broke down within 2 years. :( However, I do love the EGO Trimmer and Chainsaw and posted great reviews on Amazon about them. My question is: What is the run time of this unit with full self propel on the whole time, and is there an increase of run time of the unit if the self propel is not used? I've watched several reviews, but no one has covered this point. How about some insight!

[@WorkshopAddict]

The reason I did not talk about it is because we got this in the middle of winter and did have not been able to test it out. Runtime should be around 60 minutes with self propel. it should go up slightly without it. Runtime will also depend on the amount of grass and if it is wet or dry when you cut. Taller grass will take up more power.

[@terrytexas8257]

Well once you get going, could to specifically do this comparison. Anyone can guess that run time will increase based on the current known conditions of the grass height, wetness, and specs of the battery in conjunction with features used on the mower. Thanks!

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Terry Nagy I have a 3 acre yard and I mow a bit over an acre each time and the rest once and a while. So I plan to do some testing on this and the Greenworks model once the weather cooperates.

[@wblais01]

Hey, just purchased one of these, and it seems they have included the side throw attachment (not that I will personally use it, but you mentioned in the video that it is not included). For the record, i purchased the package with charger and battery included.

[@russwebster3302]

I would be willing to try this mower since I have a normal suburban yard. I like the idea of not having to use gas. Maybe when my Honda mower needs to be replaced. Thanks for the review Brian, I guess there was no snow for you to mow.

[@ZRXBILL]

How close does this mow to the house? The closer the better so there is less weed eating.

[@WorkshopAddict]

there is about a 1/2" of plastic on the side that will leave a strip next to an object. 4" in the front.

[@estpaul3132]

this thing did an acre and half with two batteries huh? my yard is 7,000sqft but after watching this video and your ego power+ snowblower i might have to start investing in electric even though I like my craftsman mower and stihl blower.

[@WorkshopAddict]

EstPaul I love my Stihl products. But they do not get used much if at all anymore. I would rather have the quiet and quick battery powered units. It is a hard change to battery power, but once you try it, it will surprise you.

[@wotan10950]

Very informative video. I've had a B&D cordless self-propel for four years -- some pros, some cons. It uses the older style battery, so it's very heavy. The lithium-ion is much lighter. You do have to be careful to avoid hitting rocks and tree stumps. I did it with the B&D, and had $100 of damage. It's still running ok, but battery is dying and I don't want to invest any more money in it. The EGO looks good. I was going to go for the Kobalt, but there's no self-propel and I'm 60 years old with a pacemaker!! So I need a little help. And my son isn't around often enough. I'm also very tall, so I'm glad you mentioned the handle height. I never hosed off my B&D; I don't think it's a good idea; I just use my garden gloves and wipe the underside of the deck. It stays pretty clean. I've gone all-electric on my weed-wacker, lawn mower, and snow blower. But I have backup batteries for all of them. The EGO only comes with one battery. I hope it lasts for a full mowing. My property is 1/3 acre, with some minor dips and peaks, and I always mulch. If it's one thing I hate, it's stopping in the middle of the session to charge the battery.

[@TruWarVet642nd]

I'm getting one next month,...but I was too busy lookin' @ that Rubicon in the background

[@WorkshopAddict]

The Grey Rubi is the same, but the white Rubi now has a 3.5" MetalCloak loft, bumpers and 35" tires. Looks a touch different. We did a cut test on this mower and it is worth the watch! No Jeeps in it though.

[@yoursocialmediaman9196]

I just bought a Dewalt 20v string trimmer this week and love it. This mower may replace more Toro 22" self-propelled mower next year. :-)

[@WorkshopAddict]

For a 20 volt trimmer, the Dewalt model is impressive!

[@enricodedios2561]

They should made a manual switch or something incase you run out of battery you can push it manually. This is my next purchase of the year Im getting rid of all my gas powered lawn tools. :)

[@WorkshopAddict]

Enrico de DIOS You can push this like any other mower at any time. It also reserves battery to get you back to the garage with just the self propulsion.

[@enricodedios2561]

nice! I thought the wheels would lock up if the battery dies. Thanks for the info

[@DonMillerNC]

At about 55 seconds into the video you describe the non-self propelled battery as 2P and the propelled as 3P. What does the "P" mean? Ego improved their battery to be 2,5, 5, and 7.5 amp hours. I assume P is 2.5, so 2P would be 5 amp hour and the 3P would be 7.5 amp hour. Great review. Yours was the only one that mentioned the 1000W vs 750W motor which to me is major advantage of the self-propelled.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Think of "P" as a set of batteries. with one P, there is the single set to draw from. With 2P, you have two sets to draw from. The load is spread more. 3P would have the load spread even more. So when a high am draw comes, it pulls it from more sets and does not drain the battery as fast. In EGOs case, the have software that will allow for more draw from larger batteries allowing more power for the tool.

[@Bizkitcan]

I have one, just waiting for the snow to melt. Previous owners left the lawn kinda high.

[@georgeboyd2774]

The governor on a gasoline engine keeps it at a steady speed. On my five horse B&S, that's 3,300 r/min. Peak torque, is at 2,500 r/min.

[@stevensmith186]

Hummmm, page 9 of the manual says "do not wash the mower with a hose; avoid getting water in the motor and electrical connections". I still think if I'm careful I can still hose it down to keep it clean...

[@WorkshopAddict]

What horsepower does that mower equal to.. I have the string trimmer it is really awesome

[@orthoticprostheticlabinc.7772]

Very well done. I'm getting one.

[@davehardy9555]

Based primarily on this, and it's stellar user reviews and as this was the model currently on sale at the Depot for $499 I decided to take the plunge. I had already switched all of my other lawn care power tools out to B&D battery powered tools which I love for their quiet operation as well as the lack of heat and exhaust. So, since I've been needing a new lawn mower it was time to switch that over as well. So, I picked one up today! It's March and my Zoysia is still brown and the grown a bit damp from all the rain a week ago. But, I decided to go ahead and give it a test drive anyway and as far as I'm concerned it passed it's first test. So, so far so good! I think I'm going to love it but I'm not quite there yet. We'll see...

Geez it's $100 more than the LM2101.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Yes, but you get self propelled, a 1,000 watt motor rather than a 570 and a 7.5 Ah battery rather than a 5.0Ah battery.

[@djholmes147]

Just bought the LM2102SP EGO mower and expect product to be shipped this week. I'm a widow so I don't want to deal with maintenance of a gas. mower. In addition, I also want a mower that is easy to start and my previous mower was difficult to start.each time I needed it. My next purchase will be the trimmer but can't decide on the 12" verses 15". I would like to use trimmer to edge and the 15" doesn't mention if you can edge. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for the video.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Diane Johnson-Holmes The 15 inch is quite a bit more powerful than the 12. I would go for the 15! We do have reviews on both.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Tele Vision A company can sometimes get a reputation based on some products and the 12" does not give them a great reputation. But if compared to others in the same size, it rocks. BUT, its nothing like the second gen.

[@Nightowlz17]

i love my gas.. i enjoy electric tools.. but a lawnmower would be a hard change

[@WorkshopAddict]

I can understand that. Once you try it, you get addicted. There is also a market for this where it works and a market where it does not work.

[@EnochLight]

+kurtisstrand - I used to be like you as well. I had a fantastic gas collection of outdoor power tools, in fact. Once I picked up the EGO blower, I was hooked. Got the mower and the newest string trimmer and sold all of my gas stuff immediately. The EGo's are *THAT* good. This new self-propelled mower just seals the deal. There literally is no reason *NOT* to go with these, aside from lacking a snow blower - which EGO has confirmed that they will have by the end of 2016. And if I've seen anything from EGO, they'll do the snow blower right.

[@bobbyb69]

amazing review. I'm sold. thanks

[@tz9735]

I really appreciate it that you posted the video on the EGO mower. It seems like a fantastic product. My one son is 6" 4 1/2" and would appreciate that telescopic handle. I understand that you can turn off the self-propelled option and continue mowing up to those 80 minutes they advertise, instead of 60 if you would use it. Is this correct? My husband does not want me to purchase one. He's concerned that the battery will not work up to it's ability after sitting a season of Winter/Spring and will then wear out quicker. Any thoughts on this? Is there anyone that has had a battery operated mower for at least 3 years? Thank you, in advance, for your help.

[@WorkshopAddict]

This model just came out, but we do have the original Mower they came out with and it still works as advertised. We have string trimmers, chain saws and blowers all made by EGO and all working well.

[@tz9735]

Thank you for your response. Would you be kind enough to answer my other question? Thanks.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Terri L. Zongora You can turn off... or not turn on the self propelled portion. Runtime will depend on the amount of grass cut, height, moisture and speed of cut.

[@accsportsfan]

Mr WorkshopAddict; I have a few questions. How well will this mower do on small twigs, pine cones and pine balls...and more than a few leaves?

[@WorkshopAddict]

accsportsfan Mr Accsportsfan, this mower has done well with small twigs and Austrian Pine Cones. Mine are pretty large, but they are not inner solid like some I have seen. With that said, I would say that this unit will have no issue with those items. Leaves are also not an issue, but if you are multching a large amount of the unit will slow slightly and it will kick into a higher speed and torque to the blade using g up the battery a bit faster. The blade will dull faster as expected because it is a thin blade and those objects will take a toll. IMHO, if you have the guys to run it over with a gas lawn mower, you can do it with this one. Just keep the blade sharp.

[@AquaGeek]

Question - Can you leave the battery in fold it up and it can still start in that position?

[@victor9605]

i did find their new blower already in the store just waiting on the chainsaw

[@WorkshopAddict]

I am pretty sure I seen the chainsaw on Home Depots website also.

[@victor9605]

+WorkshopAddict you did im just gonna wait till they inventory it in so the website will show the quantity.

[@dirtforce0897]

Great review, thanks.

[@EnochLight]

IPX4 is just protection against *splashing* water. Not sure I'd risk spraying that off. Still - great review! Plan on upgrading my current 20" EGO push with the new model.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+EnochLight They had this mower under a serious amount of water at an expo. This is a lawn mower and if you cannot spray it off to clean it, then... well... It should not be called a lawnmower. I fully understand what you are saying though. We have seen this unit get hit with water without issue!

[@EnochLight]

+WorkshopAddict - interesting. Thanks for the info. Perhaps they are erring on the side of caution and rating it IPX4, then? Still, the first-gen had a lower rating and I've cut wet grass without issue on that bad boy. Would really like to be able to spray off the bottom though (the first gen requires that you wipe it off with towels/rags and no spraying water).

[@WorkshopAddict]

+EnochLight You are exactly right... I believe they said not to get the first one wet at all for the most part. I do not think they want people to take a power washer to the unit, but it has to be cleaned!

[@TheBakingSlave]

Hey hun, sorry to bother you and not sure if you are still checking these comments, but I have a question. So I live on about 1 1/2 acres and already have an actual riding mower and field trimmer, but I want a good "push" mower for certain parts of my property. My riding mower recently started having issues and by the time it gets repaired it will be over 4 weeks, by then (I live in Texas) the weeds on my property will be everywhere. I own gas everything, but this mower really intrigues me. My question is, battery powered products (I had a battery powered edge trimmer and I had to charge it every 15 min) make me nervous because in my experience the battery dies before you can finish what you are doing which is annoying. How long does this battery last if you are, lets say, trimming about 1/4 of an acre with TONS of weeds on it? It honestly won't even be cutting actual grass at this point because my weeds have taken over after my riding mower broke down. One reviewer said he only got 20 min on the battery, but I looked at other reviews and no one else said that, they all said it was great. Thanks so much and sorry for such a long comment :-).

I have never tried cutting weeds with this mower. I can tell you that 40 -65 minutes is average on this mower. The battery charge time is about 45 minutes. So, in your case, the absolute worse case would be that you needed two batteries to cut the weeds the first time, after that, one should do. But I am thinking worse case. Some people say weeds and one would need a brush hog..... I think you will be happy with this brand and mower. If you do not like it, return it.

Damn, were you an Officer in the military?? You threw a ton of information at us with little to no effort, reminds me of a military style brief. Thanks for the review.

[@WorkshopAddict]

No Military, but a lot of videos under my belt. :)

Great presentation!!! What is best price?

[@WorkshopAddict]

Watch for sales, they seem to vary area to area.

[@stitch-xx2oo]

@@WorkshopAddict Cool...Thanks!

Excellent instructional video. I just bought this mower on www.homedepot.com based on this review. I'm done with gas, spark plugs, oil, noise, and weight. At 54, I'm sure I'm going to love this mower. I'll update my comments once it arrives. Thanks for a really good video summary.

[@TheKiltedKraut]

My only two hesitation about the model with the self-propelled feature are these... 1) How much heavier is the mower compared to the non-self-propelled mower? 2) If I'm not using the self-propelled feature when cutting my grass...is it more difficult to push (am I working against an engaged gearbox of some sort)?? Thanks in advance if you can answer these two questions for me!

[@WorkshopAddict]

There is a very small motor that runs the battery powered self propelled. so, it might be a pound or two more, but not much! If you are using it without the SP option, it is just like any other mower.

[@jzerballs9937]

It only has a 20" blade. How can it cut 21"?

[@greggeis918]

Have you guys been able to take it out and put it to use yet? Any feedback compared to last years model? I was about to get one until I tried a friends 20" model. It had great reviews but I was underwhelmed by the power compared to my old budget (Honda 160 powered) gas mower. It definitely made me have second thoughts about changing systems.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Last weekend we had the EGO, ECHO and Greenworks out testing for runtime and power. If you get the self propelled (only one I have) you will be impressed by the power increase over last years model. We mowed 3 acres of lawn with these three models...... It sucked but we got to know them. I am a bigger is better guy and I could use the 21" without issue. I took it through grass that was not mowed at all last year and it did not bog or stall. I think the 7.5 Ah battery does a lot for it. We got 55 minutes of runtime on it. We charged and ran it 3 times. Still doing more testing before the video.

[@greggeis918]

+WorkshopAddict Awesome, thanks for the feedback! Looking forward to the new videos.

[@greggeis918]

+WorkshopAddict Would you guys want to throw a decent gas mower into the comparison? Seems like none of the battery powered shootouts include a gas control. Or they put some old $200-300 junker against $500-600 battery units. I think it would add some insight if you guys like the idea.

[@WorkshopAddict]

+Greg Geis I am working on the runtime and cut tests of this now. That is a great idea and we have a top of the line Honda to put in the mix! Give us some time and it will happen.

One of my future buys... I hope:)

[@Korovilas]

Can you please review the newest EGO Steel Deck Mower? Part # LM2022SP. It appears to be their best mower.

[@smarzig]

where can i buy this one sale currently?

[@reissallan]

According to EGO, you cannot use a hose to wash off the mower.

[@jmatt98]

Allan Reiss of course you can. Just pop the battery lid open and wash it out.

[@jedpittman2182]

You "reviewed" a lawnmower with out ever putting it in the grass..interesting?!

[@WorkshopAddict]

Those are the technical specs. If you look on our channel in the recent uploads, you will find the cut test.

[@jedpittman2182]

Great, thanks for the thorough review!

[@calvinjohnson7654]

now i want one

[@nomoreserfs]

Gas sucks! Went to this mower and never looked back.

[@karmendimas5274]

lol, you did not even take outside and cut any grass with it, what a crappy review!!!

[@ratdog3055]

I look at this mower and see two things that would concern me: A lot of plastic and very spindly front axles. I see that it is rear wheel drive which is a positive. Not thrilled with no rear discharge (other than the bag). I find that this works 10 times better than a side discharge chute, especially in tight areas. I think I will keep my Honda for awhile and see how this pans out over the long run.

[@Bmr4life]

Oh snap.

[@thebigdoghimself]

Love mine. I disagree that being able to use the self-propelled feature when the battery is low is a "huge" feature. This thing is so light and easy to push even in tall grass that I often don't even bother with the self-propelled. Plus the drive motor adds a little bit of noise (not much but a little). I love the fact that I can have my patio speakers playing music while cutting the yard!
