EGO E-Steer Electric Zero Turn Mower: My Honest Review!

This is the new electric zero turn lawn mower from EGO, that features "E-Steer Technology", it's like driving a car that can spin on a dime! I've been testing it for a few weeks now, so let me show what it's like to use it, plus Pros and Cons I've found. Disclosure: thanks to EGO for the sample units, but this video is not sponsored.

Beautiful video production!! I appreciate the time and effort that went into this.

[@platinum9898]

Im definitely hooked into the ego ecosystem. I started with the new 28 inch snow blower and the same 800 cfm leaf blower, will continue with the weed wacker, edger, zero turn and what ever else i can find. Man, never going back to gas and oil

[@NickDowner]

So sweet! These new electric zero turns are awesome. No maintenance!

[@AuthenTech]

Absolutely! No oil changes, no gas, no belts... it's so nice

[@boofinboyle7002]

All blades dull over time

[@cilestokes4298]

Have you tested or do you plan to test Ryobi's electric zero turn mower? Thanks. Love the review.

[@MHballa88]

how in the world did you get that shot at 4:18? Great video btw!

[@dslgod]

You forgot to add both speed at wheel and blade have boost modes. This mower is fun and quiet, I like it a lot for having it approx a year now with 6 batteries. The only con I have so far is with this heat wave we’re having seems the batteries might be degrading….. i wouldn’t recommend this for commercial use because of the heat. I mow my 1.5 acres and get down to 75% or more depending on the heat. More batteries equals less degrading and heavier price tag.

My Z6 worked great for a few months. It's now been in the repair shop twice. The first time, was in for 4 weeks. It's now going on 6 weeks this time with no support from EGO.

[@jamie8917]

No support from Ego? It has a 5 year warranty and Ego has been fantastic every time I have needed to call them (other than wait time). They should have setup the repair for you and cover the cost if you registered it.

[@tomski3030]

@@jamie8917 @egopowerplus My Z6 is registered and still under warranty. There was no cost to me for the repair. However, it took 6 weeks just for EGO to ship out the part needed for the repair. In the meantime, the grass doesn't stop growing. I had numerous pleasant conversations with EGO reps. I was told many times they would call me back with an update, didn't happen. EGO customer support manager told me they were going to overnight the part that I needed, didn't happen. I reached out to have an EGO manager get back to me about my experience and.... nothing. The repair shop informed me they also have similar experiences with EGO. A lot of friendly talks that are just filled with empty promises.

[@TCPUDPATM]

@@tomski3030That’s quite disappointing…

[@Itsisawnotiseen]

@@tomski3030you just helped me to look at other mowers.

[@joeyalbergo]

Excellent video! I hope the dent in the crate did not cause any issue. It was great to see this thing in action! -Joe

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks, Joe! Thankfully the cage protected the mower and no dents, scratches, or any issues

[@stevenss9249]

[@platinum9898]

Can you hook a bagger on this? A leaf blower?

[@themarvelofe-bikes3052]

Nice piece of hardware. Remember ,no "gas" pedal!

[@RangerX3X]

What happens to the shipping frame it comes in?

[@johnkosheluk1041]

I work on them thay are good for about a 2 years but be prepared to bring it in for repair when thay stop working 😊

[@donsimons9810]

what’s the biggest issue(s)? any way to avoid them?

[@jordancrockett8032]

Just turned 26 and have a 2 year old and for my first actual dad gift I want this 😂

[@donsimons9810]

cool story bro

[@jasonstults8986]

The other ego riding mower has a "extra" hidden speed mode. Doesnt cut at all but will fly like a go-kart

[@ychongy]

Which one?

[@LegendLength]

To be fair it's quite fast to reload a trimmer once the string is through the hole. Just turn it 10 or 15 times.

[@bhlife65]

It looks like it’s good for flatland, but is it good for country land?

[@nashtockdw]

I am interested in seeing how much the batteries degrade over time. That is the one reason why I have yet to purchase on of the electric mowers.

[@jamie8917]

My oldest Ego battery is 5 years old and it is down to 90% of original capacity and that is the old style without the battery meter. I have been very happy with EGO batteries.

[@LegendLength]

With lithium in general they last well, especially if LiFePO4 which i assume these are. They won't be using anything that beats other brands by a large margin.

[@dslgod]

@@jamie8917how do you know about the capacity?

[@jamie8917]

@@dslgod The Ego power station has an app that shows exact percentage of the battery. After a battery is fully charged it will show 100% and then if I put it back on a day or so later it drops down to the actual percentage which was about 90%. New batteries stay at 99 or 100%. I can also use the app from the zero turn mower to see individual battery percentage.

[@johnbailey9682]

The power load really sucks . I bought one a the very first time I use it ran out of line . Then tried to use the power load and we’ll I took it back to Lowe’s .

[@ychongy]

This steering wheel or Ryobi's steering stick?

[@AuthenTech]

Oooh... maybe a comparison video?

[@dereksylvester2226]

All those Ryobi tools in the background 😂

[@JosephThomas-gi8ow]

Dose that mover have a grass catcher???

[@AuthenTech]

Yes

[@speederz1]

for 6 grand i ll buy a John Deere

[@user-sm6px5ff9h]

Or a scagg

[@donsimons9810]

you got a riding lawn mower for what looks like 1/3 an acre?

[@curtismurray7041]

It doesn’t seem to put those nice stripes in though

[@hudboys8120]

They make Lawn striping things for that, unless you’re talking about the stripes on the grass from the wheels, Then he’s just cutting the grass too short to be able to tell

[@Agent77X]

$6K? for 42” wide!😮

[@keithshires7598]

I have this zero turn with the lap bars. My yard is .38 and with four batteries on 2nd level speed and 2nd level blade speed I have 23 percent battery life left after cutting. No way it does 2.5 acres on 4 batteries

[@boutiquenaillounge6860]

How is the cut quality?

[@AuthenTech]

great

[@GeneLeeRollins]

Mulch around those small trees so you don't get close to the tree itself. That tree looks like it's been damaged already.

[@Lincoln_Vail]

10yrs away from this being useful

[@cachibachi5037]

I need an EGO zero turn. tell them to send me one please.

[@donsimons9810]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@doolittlegeorge]

This machine is *WAY* bigger more important than Tesla given the entire ecosystem plus warranty plus retail support. Why do I need to own a car anymore? The only thing now missing from this item are two axles/four wheels behind the driver seat and a suspension system. E-GO *"just like that"* has changed the entire Transportation Industry upon the entire USA. Next up: Solar City

[@LegendLength]

let us know how the first date goes in it

[@TCPUDPATM]

Technically it should do 4.5 acres with 6X 12Ah batteries. Insane. The Ego app is total trash!

[@BalthazorProductionsLLC]

Where’s the AI mower?

[@Jake-rs9nq]

A couple of automatic mowers do exist.

[@stupendouslife8128]

Gas 🤔🤔

[@StealthSecuritySystems]

😂

[@gunsilike6849]

Just for the price of the mower you could pay someone to cut your yard for multiple years. Add in trimmer, blower, edger, replace batteries in a few years….🤦‍♂️ Way too expensive for most people.

[@user-ht1ho3ur6d]

WHY DOES EGO HAVE A SPECIAL LINE FOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MOWER. HUMMMM....

[@tonymalone1790]

4500 and not even lithuim battery's waste of money

[@tommac5411]

Narrator, you need to calm down!

[@user-sm6px5ff9h]

For the price, I am not putting together anything. I will stick with my Toro steering wheel and my scagg lap bars. I know with them I can cut 10 yards without worrying about neither one going dead 😂😂

[@Dentaldude12345]

millenials, uggh

[@dman5703]

Are you doing lawn reviews now stop! You are not a blue collar man you are so far left !

[@Vgp-rp4iu]

This whole electric fad is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks but no thanks. Nobody is ever going to force me into electric cars and power equipment. I like my gas powered mower and blower.

[@baileyryanpatrick17]

If it was a "fad" then every single auto manufacturer worldwide wouldn't be heavily invested in them at every level. Face it, it's just a matter of time whether you like it or not.

[@donsimons9810]

apparently honda is going to stop producing gas mowers by next year
