Hi great review is there a reason why you didn’t buy Stihl mower if you’ve already have batteries ?

[@MrGardener18]

@@mikeedwards8694 we did consider the Stihl mowers but When I look into them the ego seem the better package, price,range and you can fit a mulch plug and roller. We wanted a mower that could do it all and ego fitted the Bill.

[@user-oq5oc9hg3x]

Yeah I’d try to sell it and go with a Stihl, I haven’t had to many problems other then the wheel locking and it’s just started to leave wheel lines in the lawn. I picked up a EGO high lift blade, modified it to fit the stihl and it’s a lot better.

[@MrGardener18]

@@user-oq5oc9hg3x would definitely consider replacing it for a stihl but only if stihl release a new professional mower that a decent size and prices, for now, I still think the ego is a better more versatile option.

[@PeterEmery]

I have the 42cm/17-inch version of this mower. I need the self-propulsion as I have degenerative back and knee conditions which make use of a push mower more trouble than it's worth. I'm very impressed with every aspect of the machine.

[@scotland2310]

Just bought the 1702-sp its excellent.

[@AAKhanivore]

Back wheels locking up is feature and is not random. You lift the front and the back wheels lock so it won’t roll away when you let go - useful when parked on a hill. Just push forward to release the parking brake.

[@russellstuart8654]

Thank you MrGardner …an impressive, logical video from someone who has clearly thought about the operational issues for the Ego lawn mower. I am awaiting delivery of this very machine but hadn’t realised that the price of £ 570 did not include full options …I would ideally like a mulching kit and real roller too so will have to bite the bullet on extra costs . That said , I am in the category you mention of having a medium to large lawn on a slight slope so the SP element will definitely help . I also will have the 5 ah size battery with fast charger so hoping that it does the job …I am encouraged by your review .thank you .

[@philippbayer866]

Just bought mine today becouse of your review. Good work

[@MrGardener18]

I hope you like it.

[@rajg5377]

A really informative and comprehensive review. Certainly helped me to make up my mind, is a great all round performer, some really good pointers on the batteries too. Thanks!!

[@MrGardener18]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OFP2]

Fantastic and honest review , they are obviously not ready for a commercial round but it's great to see the progress . You are the second reviewer who had problems with batteries too which is worrying.

[@MrGardener18]

With the strides battery technology and machine are make it won't be long before they are ready for commercial uses which a exciting thought. If this machine is anything to go by the next gen should be awesome.

[@jasonhewlett1283]

Good review Matt, as you say the ego batteries are weighty beasts. I think you should take that 7.5ah battery back to the dealer as it under performs.

[@ParkersGardens]

Enjoyed the review, especially as you've been using it for a while. Good to know your thoughts 👍

[@MrGardener18]

im not a fan of review where poeple just get it out of the box and start waxing lryical about it . how can they posssible know how good if they've not used it. thanks for taking the time to watch and comment it.

[@atifmanzoor63]

Hi can you give us an update to how this is performing now in 2022 would you recommend it

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

Another very informative comprehensive review. Nice one chap 😀

[@MrGardener18]

Cheers mate.

[@gatesgardensguitars8871]

Again, a really good review. What's your go-to line trimmer for cutting edges on the lawns you mow?

[@MrGardener18]

If im not usesing an old school manual edger. I uses my kma130r battery kombie engine. it dosent have great run time as a strimmer but its so light and quite i chose it over my km94 everytime.

[@AmalaSingh]

My brand new mower , blades not turning on after a quick run. Then I adjusted the height a bit higher, then it was working. Then again the next day, blades not turning on. I don't know why. In UK, it looks like there is no contact number. So should speak to the online dealer as it is still under 30 days return. It is very unfortunate, but I was happy with the mower when it was running , it was so quick and it took 20 minutes to clear up a large garden. I don't understand , why it is stuck.

[@MrGardener18]

The first place I would ask at is there website where under the product they have a comment section which they respond to enquire very quickly. As for it stopping randomly it could be a fault definitely but there are a number of safety features on these mower which stop it running IE if the safety plug is not in propely or the handle aren't fully extended.

[@beyondboardmadness]

Hi very insightful video 👍👍. Do you still use this as your daily mower for your business? If yes how is it holding up. Looking to get one because they are so much light hayter pro, especially as a one man band.

[@MrGardener18]

Yes its still our main mower and working very well. its defiantly starting to show its age with the gearbox sounding interesting but its not had and easy life.

[@beyondboardmadness]

@@MrGardener18 thank you for the reply 👍

[@MW_1981]

Hi mate, great review. Was very helpful. Just a quick question about the roller. If it's fitted to the mower, can it still fold up and stand upright or would you have to take the roller off every time? Thank you.

[@MrGardener18]

you should be fine to flip the mower even if the roller attched, though it will make it more difficult to manoeuver in that position.

[@dicantria]

I also have a 7.5AH battery that does the same thing as yours. Charges part way & stops, sometimes the lights go red. Did you get in touch with Ego, if so, what was the outcome? I've got the Ego Lm2135E-sp, great mower, love using it. I've also got a hedge trimmer, pole hedge trimmer, strimmer and back pack blower from Ego. Decided the back pack blower wasn't powerful enough for autumn work so I've purchased the makita that you've also reviewed. Concerned about what appears to be a carburetor issue with these. You would hope after being out for some time now that this issue would have been addressed.

[@MrGardener18]

I contacted ego by email (there is a contact email address on there website for battery warranty enquire) and they got back to me super quickly and replaced the battery no questioned asked. if not pop in to your local dealer and they will be happy to help.

[@dicantria]

@@MrGardener18 Thanks for the response. 👍

[@joshuabush2569]

I noticed in the video you put £520 for the kit... can I ask where you purchase this from? I'm currently looking to replace my current mower with this model and the cheapest I've found Is £579.

[@MrGardener18]

I've brought all my ego tools from www.thegreenreaper.co.uk/ not sure what the price is now but it may have gone up since I posted the video.

[@CGatta71]

Great vid!👍🏼

[@goldenfrizzy]

Great review. I was wondering if there is a big difference in loudness vs a petrol lawnmower?

[@stevestrider362]

Me too, I was wondering why you wore ear protection.

[@MrGardener18]

It's still quite loud no where as loud a petrol machine though. The biggest difference is how the noise travels. with this machine nextdoor will hardly hear it where as a petrol machine the whole street will know it lawn mowing day.

[@MrGardener18]

@@stevestrider362 for me it make no sense not to wear ear defenders even it far quieter than a petrol machine. Personal speaking I'd like to be able to hear in my old age and not have constant ringing noise in my ears.

[@joshuabush2569]

Regarding the battery sizes if you wanted to you something big with a hedge trimmer you could just get the backpack link... I think Ego has far better battery technology than Stihl. Especially with the layout of the cells etc.

[@simpsongardenservices1733]

Great video 👍🏼

[@lasseusbeck]

I have searched everywhere, without luck... how is the Ego model numbers defined? I.e. is a LM1903E-SP better than a LM2020E?

[@MrGardener18]

The lm1903e-sp is still listed on egos UK website ( different model in US) as for the lm2020e ironically I can't find it. I find the numbering not clear either. The best thing to do look at ego website where they list all the current model usually in size order. the lm1903e is 47cm cut

[@MrGardener18]

The first number is 17 refers to the size of cut 17in. The rest I'm not sure .

[@keirlyons6424]

what is the best mower for wet grass?

[@MrGardener18]

I've not really used other mower for a while now so can't really recommend any.

[@russelldownesdownes5618]

Would you say it’s better than the Husqvarna 347ivx which is 36volts .

[@MrGardener18]

I can't really comment on the Husqvarna as I haven't used it. but it seems to me to be a good machine and the fact it is only 36v doesn't bother me as I've used Stihl 36v mower and they've seemed plentiful powerful enough. the only thing I would say against the Husqvarna is it based on the petrol machine, not a bad thing but it does mean it doesn't make the most of the advantages of battery technology ie foldability.

[@russelldownesdownes5618]

Is this your every day mower now.

[@MrGardener18]

yes i use it for all my job big and small.

[@davidemeritus668]

Very informative review. Thanks.

[@loganxi8871]

Hi mate. Thanks for your video. Is this machine enough for a 700 square meter lawn?

[@MrGardener18]

700sm might be a bit of a streach for it just with the standard 5amp battery. however it is alway difficult to say with run times as there are so many variables which determine how long it would last but my first thought would be you problerly have to charge it or get another battery to finish the job.

[@russelldownesdownes5618]

Handy if you have an inverter in van ready to charge.

[@ronmatthews5515]

How does Ego compaired to Makita ?

[@MrGardener18]

I really couldn't say. having never used any of the Makita battery garden tools. having said that what I have heard about Makita tools has been positive.

[@waqasahmed939]

I've just won this item on eBay, and it may well be overpriced and overkill too My medium lawn when using a push lawn mower was really quite difficult perhaps because I had thick grass I'd hope with a self propelled system, it's gonna be a lot easier to use. I'm really not fond of petrol tools too, largely because : - I don't want to have random fuel lying around - It's really terrible in terms of air quality if you're got petrol powered tools - Doing this kind of gardening work with petrol imo defeats the purpose a bit if you're negatively contributing to the environment
