You are completely WRONG. You never have to replace a batteries on an electric car. Studies, data and measurements clearly shows that batteries in electric cars degrade only 1 do 1.5 % per year. That means that after 20 years of use you would still have 70 to 80 % of original range when the car was new! Also even if you had very rare case when one cell in the battery go bad, you can fix just that one cell for $100. Also the batteries now are only 120$ per 1 kWh. But don't worry about it, because 10 year old Tesla still have 90 % or their original capacity.

These mowers work decently after you first buy then but the batteries go out within 5 years . And the quality of the machine is nothing compared too my wheelhorse tractor.

If batteries dies after a few years you must be doing something wrong like charging them to 100% before storing them or leaving them completely dead.. Either that or the BMS sucks

[@ixionn563]

@@danielgranath2348 Honestly the BMS on the EGO equipment seems very smart. They actually stop charging after 100% instead of cooking away like other battery systems out there. The cells should have a nice long lifespan if the BMS is doing its job properly like it appears to be.

Each battery is $550 not including shipping or tax. Times that by 6 and the battery pack you have is $3300 before tax and shipping.

[@regularpit1508]

These don't have the longevity that I want. I prefer Lifepo4 batteries but that's better then other options and in the lifetime of the mower you'd probably save the extra cost of this mower in 10 years if the batteries last that long. These don't have the ability to challenge gas in the acreage they can do per charge vs per tank that can be filled and back to work. I love this if you have a smaller property but otherwise It's neat but not for our needs.

Try that 12 Ah battery on the trimmer and let me know how your shoulder feels after 15 minutes lol.

Ego needs to do package deals where you pick out the batteries you want OR a 42" with 12Ah batteries either 4x or 6x. I wanted the 52" because of all 6x12Ah but 52" is a little too big for the lawns we do. Happy with the 42" but it could easily come with 12Ah batteries as an option.

[@cliffjohnson2273]

before I would be interested you would need to guarantee the batteries for ten years. the electronics for ten years. Cut the cost by 30%. What is the run time If you were lawn service what is four acres in cut time. would you need 12 extra batteries to get 8 hr.?

That price is incredible but maybe even more so is the cost of the batteries. Sure you might not need to do tuneups but you will have to replace batteries if you keep the mower for a decade. These are unclimate controlled cells, they will degrade faster in a hot garage or cold shed.

[@Ethan7s]

Even more so if they freeze during the winter months.

A new ego 12 amp battery is $600 so 6 of them is actually worth $3,600, not $2,000. Half the cost of the mower is the batteries and that's common along any battery line.

Great video! I want to be on board with battery powered yard tools but I’ve been disappointed with battery life. Not necessarily run time but deterioration of battery over time.

I’ve had Ego products for many years (maybe 5 or 7?) and can’t notice much of any deterioration.

In addition to the belt for the deck, you would also be doing away with 3 deck spindles.

[@HawkGTboy]

That surprised me as well. I love my 21" Ego. The only downside I've found is that the blades spin at a ridiculously high RPM compared to a gas mower. That means if you hit a large rock or tree root it's almost certain that the blades are getting bent up.

[@BenNawrath]

@@HawkGTboy really! And I was wondering if it went slower, and maybe that’s why it doesn’t a,ways cut cleanly haha. I sharpen a lot. Which is also way easier than a gas mower, since tilting it up on its ass is so easy.

[@HawkGTboy]

@@BenNawrath I noticed that as well, that it seems to miss grass on the edges of the blades reach. You only really notice it if the grass was long before you cut it.

@@charlieretro We use ours commercially for lawn care along with blowers, trimmers, edgers, etc and the single and 2 stage during the winter and they work great. The only thing I will say is on something like the 2 stage they should just pack them with 12Ah batteries and call it a day. I would just recommend to anyone looking to use it fairly heavily is to have a team of batteries on hand, we have 20 and they still run out at times.

[@demi4865]

I have the original 42" and about 2.5 acres to mow, i always manage to finish. Just got it back from service for a failed pcb. Ego warranty is 5y so it was covered. I also had a flat front tire and they sent out a new one pretty quickly. Now as for power, during the week it was being serviced I used my neighbor's cadet zt and the power difference is immense. Gas easily knocks down 3' grass, the z6 will need to do that slowly and will still get stuck often. Edit: I've got 40h on it so far, I use the hitch to pull a small dump trailer around for yard work and garbage day

[@thezfunk]

[@christiankeene5930]

Was just in the market for a new mower and was really considering an EGO ZT (I have many of their other lawn power equipment and really love the convenience). For me, the one thing that turned me away from this is that the batteries are only graded to last 3-5 years when you read their instruction manual. Sure you don't pay for gas or upkeep, but that's a huge cost to replace all six batteries when they start to go. Not to mention, who knows if the battery life/strength is maintained through all of those years. I'm definitely interested in this technology in the future, but still feel there's much to be proven

[@fixitFlip]

I'm pretty sure EGO batteries come with a 5 year warranty. So you could exchange one if it went bad at 4 1/2 years.

They should last longer than that if just used for mowing the lawn but as far as availability, Ego has already been around longer than that so get them should be OK, but the price is anyones guess. Based on todays inflation the battery will probably be $2,000 and a gallon of gas will be $150 :)

My only problem with a lot of this electric stuff is after 6 years or so you end up having to replace the batteries, so from what you said $2k. Where as the gas mower my grandparents bought back in the 90's is still running.... Sure you gotta buy gas and do some maintenance but it doesn't come close to $2k every 6 years.

[@Margalus]

Between gas, sparkplugs, filters, hoses, belts and rebuilds the electric saves money. That is a LOT of gasoline usage. A few gallons a week at least times 30 weeks or more. You are talking 100 gallons plus a year. At $4.50/g that is $450/year just for gas, times 6 years is $2700 for the gas alone, and that is only if gas doesn't go up higher, or depending on where you live or if your tractor uses diesel or if you have a bigger yard and use more gas. Then add in all the other maintenance. Batteries are cheaper

[@bitsorbytes]

​@@Margalus Agreed, so many go on about having to pay for replacement batteries, but overlook the endless costs spent on gas powered devices from the first day of ownership on fuel/gas/oil/servicing. It all adds up over time.

Electricity may be cheaper than gas for now, but it’s not free either. Many people seem to forget that.

[@bitsorbytes]

​@@Ethan7s Yes electricity is not free (unless you have solar, which outside of the USA it is way more common to have BTW), but electricity is way cheaper than gas, so still a saving on each mow. Plus you then save again by not having to go out and get gas, so save on running costs to do that. Even if it is break even, the hassle of not having to get gas/service etc would be worth it for all those years.

Price seems fair for a high quality zero turn. Problem I have had in the past with direct drive blades, what if you hit something with a blade like a rock?

[@Unkn0wnC0mmand]

I've owned the 52" Z6 for ~7 months, and I've loved the machine. My house is on 1.6 acres of mowable grass, and I have no issue cutting it twice on one charge with a 3.5" cut. I use the grass bagger attachment, and if I cut the grass weekly, I can cut the whole lawn and only empty the bagged clippings twice. The high lift blades really do a good job sucking up all the clippings and mulching them very finely. My front yard is well beyond a 15 degree slope and I've had no issue mowing it with the z6. Mowing up-and-down or side-to-side is no problem. The grass bagging kit comes with 2 weights for the front end, and I think that helps with slope performance. I've also driven a zero turn for 25+ years, so I've gotten used to properly angling them for horizontal hillside cutting. You can use zero turns on most slope angles- you just need to practice. Years 1-4 I was sideway-skiing into everything when on a slope. I'll never forget sliding into a metal dog water bowl and getting the bowl hung in the grass discharge while bending a mowing blade on an old Yard King. Dad wasn't happy. Yard slope shouldn't be the deciding factor for getting a zero turn or not if you're willing to practice. I use the trailer hitch to pull a lawn broadcaster and a haul-trailer for bags of mulch. Have had no issue pulling a trailer with 500lbs of bagged bark chips up hill- can't really even feel the extra weight with the motor torque. So far I don't have any complaints. I have many many Ego tools and being able to use the 12Ah batteries with them has been great- I use the Ego battery backpack to wear the big 12Ah battery like a backpack and then connect the backpack to the tool using a super lightweight cable. Gives me all day tool battery life from 1 of the 12Ah batteries without wearing my arms out with an unbalanced tool....the 12Ah batteries are pretty dang heavy. Great system and I have never had any issues with any of my Ego tools.

Maybe someday when they get better. When prices come down, and battery technology gets better. Also that machine just bogged down in the tall grass and he could only take narrow passes with it. I would have used a sickle bar machine first, then raked it off then cut it regularly. Not saying it's a bad machine, but it's not for me. Had 35 acres once. Sold it a couple of years ago, and the EGO machine would have been shot in no time. Also, zero turns are nice but they're not garden tractors. The gas powered Zero turns can pull equipment in a pinch. But they're really only good for cutting grass. I would want something more versatile. I used to drive tractors pulling gang reels and could cut almost 100 acres on a good day. The EGO looks like a toy to me by comparison. When you ran Allis Chalmers, International Lo-Boys or something like the old Ford 8N, and had to cut side hills standing up and leaning into the hill so the tractor wouldn't roll over, or you could jump off on if it did, that little slope the EGO couldn't tackle is nothing.

No electric for me. My wife bought me a Kobalt electric string trimmer and even with 4 batteries it won't do our entire yard. I just picked up an Echo string trimmer and it does the entire yard with no problem.

[@michaelbuckelew]

What’s the voltage on the Kobalt? My first electric trimmer was a 12v Black & Decker that cost $99. It was … OK. 10 minutes of battery life. Got the Ego, which is 56v, and it was immensely better. I’ve never been able to trim enough to run down my battery to 0 on a 0.6 acre lot. Just depends on what you have. That’s impressive on the Craftsman! Mine is about 10 years old but not that worry-free. Part of it is me finding things like roots.

[@SFCRambo60]

I wonder how many tons of either coal, or gas it to to produce the 4 hours of electricity to charge the batteries? And the environmental impact of producing the products and batteries than the environmental impact when a battery goes bad, will it end up in a landfill, along side the road or even in a creek, river or ocean. These are what they don't tell us. Just the chemicals for the batteries is bad news.

Let's talk about it next year ! Lol when you have to pay for repairs ! Lol people will be giving them away for free just come over and pick it up ! Lol what to make a bet on it !!!!

[@WalterRiggs]

Runtime isn’t what you need to be scared of. How much are those batteries to replace? That’s where you’ll freak out

[@SaabAholic]

I bought a battery powered weed eater and absolutely love it! I’m not crazy about electric cars, but I do like the idea of this mower!

[@smattt]

Waiting for your video on handling those weeds! I have about an acre as well in our new house and managing that has been disappointing. Sometimes I feel I may never achieve the lush lawn I've always wanted.

As long you have $5000 or more it’s the lawn mower for you..me No Thanks

[@roylindsey7030]

I'm interested in the longevity of these electric yard mowers. Do you think they'll last 20-25 years before the batteries or motors go bad?

[@SilverCymbal]

Now adays I wouldn't expect anything to last that long, sad but true. Old fridges lasted 20 years or more. They now tell me the average new one will last 8-10 years!. But in terms of this mower, I can't speak for the machine itself, but the batteries should last at 100% capacity for about 11 years before needing replacing if used for mowing. This assumes 6 months of mowing a year once a week, charging every other week. Even after 11 years they will still work but will not hold as long of a charge. For motors, etc I can't say but Ego stuff seems very well reviewed.

[@tpl608]

How long do the blades last? Sharpening them?

[@GoatZilla]

Do the main drivers still have gears/transmissions that need grease?

[@garyalensr]

I have to say it's definitely a cool looking mower, but I'd personally never pay that much for a electric mower.. I'll always stick to my gas lawn tractor. I'm still using my tractor that was built in 1990, I always maintenance it and it's never left me down. So I've had my Tractor for over 30 years, I honestly don't think this EGO will last no where near that long. So $6000 they can keep it!!!! I still loved the review. Thank you for sharing

[@kdrapertrucker]

Pretty much any gas zero turn today is going to run you $5500. So you are only paying $50-80 more. And you'll save that much in gas the first season. And I don't see why it wouldn't last, motors would be easy to replace, the battery packs are replacable, much simpler mechanically, no belts to wear out, no hoses, just electric wires.

[@garyalensr]

@@kdrapertrucker I'm saying I don't see this electric mower lasting over 30 yrs like the mowers made back in the day, mowers made today are not anywhere near the build quality as the older ones where. So many electrical parts to worry about on battery operated mowers. Way more than gas powered Tractors

[@petersack5074]

for sure, Gary. i checked the battery price on amazon; each one, costs from 329 to 440 bucks, times 6 = 2400 plus bucks, can buy alotta gas over 30 years !

[@garyalensr]

@@petersack5074 that's ridiculous, the price for 1 battery not to mention I wonder how many charges you get on those batteries before you have to spend almost 3 grand for all new ones? Yeah I get there's no belts to replace but belts on tractors are easy to replace. Can you imagine how much one of those beltless motors cost if broken? I'd much rather replace a spindle than a electric motor, how about you? Also the price to replace the direct drive motors if anything where to happen is well over a thousand dollars.

[@theelite1x721987]

@@kdrapertrucker you save in gas but you have lithium batteries that slowly lose capacity with age. I have a ego push mower that's 4 years old. Yeah, I haven't bought gas for it but the 7.5ah battery it came with lasts only half as long as it used to. I can't even complete a mow with one charge. Cost of new battery is 350 bucks. More than I would have spent in gas for last 4 years. Battery warranty is only 3 years so ego told me I gotta buy a new one. For 350 bucks I might as well buy a new mower for just a little bit more money. Disappointing to me...

[@johnc8112]

Very nice machine 👌 have 6.5 acres finished grass area. Mostly in Canada there going to what $ 12,000 .

[@172turtla]

I have an EGO push mower that I like a lot, has never given me any trouble. I have a Cub Cadet electric lawn tractor that I use to mow about four acres. There are a couple of nuisance parts on the Cub Cadet that I break more often than I would like but I keep spares on hand so I can fix pretty quickly. I have been looking at this EGO, they have a few at the local Lowe's, if there is any end of season sale I might get one.

[@Mist-Pro]

Those are coolest mowers on the market! Very well thought out by Ego!

[@Jason-oz9pp]

I have 4 acres and was on the fence about buying this mower. I ended up with a John Deere 7000 series instead because I was afraid of how much it would cost to eventually replace the batteries. I'm invested in all other ego products and I love them but the battery replacement on the mower scared me.

[@bitsorbytes]

While the cost of replacing the batteries is real for sure. How much will you end up spending for servicing your John Deere aka oil changes etc, plus fuel used over the next 3 years? Which is what the batteries should easily last for before replacing.

[@geod3589]

I had to replace the small battery on my Ego chainsaw and it was $150.00. I can only imagine what replacing these would cost.

Good stuff! I'd be interested to know your opinion of the new Ryobi 54" zero turn lithium-ion mower in comparison.

[@danbuchner28]

I think Ego is the best electric mower currently on the market.

[@mattallurgical]

The 12Ah EGO batteries sell for $549 at Ace hardware, and $599 at Lowes, so for six of them, even if we assume a bulk rate of $500 per, that's $3,000 of the total price in batteries alone, which really brings the cost of the mower itself down quite a bit.

[@alanperrington688]

My concern is, how long are these batteries gonna maintain their ability to cut one acre? I have 3 acres which would be the extent of this mower. Will it still do 3 acres next year or the following year? Or will I be replacing batteries? And if so, do I have to replace 6 at a time? Do they have to be balanced?

[@eclecticgentleman]

If it was $4999 I'd go out to Lowe's today and buy one.

[@Mikael.formermilitary]

I like it. I saw one the other day. I gave it a good looking over. Seeing your video reinforces it's a good machine. However, the price point is out of my reach.

[@Margalus]

This comes in 2 versions, you can either 42" or 52" Z6

[@Rick-tb4so]

How long will the battery's last and what is replacement cost?

[@SilverCymbal]

That's what we don't know but Ego has been around a while so we should expect good long life and battery availability but actual use will vary due to # of cycles, etc. I know there are old Ego owners with batteries that are many years old still going strong, but how often are they used. I wish I had a better answer but if most people cut their lawn once a week for 6 months a year thats very few cycles.

[@RobertMayfair]

My yard is only .25 acres but I still want one

[@everythingvideos24]

Just imagine the cost to replace those batteries. I bet they aren't cheap compared to a gas mower.

[@devinself2104]

[@BartlettTFD]

I have an Ego blower and edger and to be honest, I would never buy any other products from them. Replacing the 56 volt batteries is a very expensive purchase. The motor on the string edger is failing already and I’ve really had to baby it. They’re great, when they work.☹️

So the only real bad thing about this product worth $6k they sent you for 'free' is it didn't come with the bagger option for 'free'?

[@taylormorris_]

Pros and cons from pro landscaper: Pros: -quiet so could start earlier and go later based on noise ordinances -no petroleum products -no belts -no exhaust - a pat on the back for virtue signalers - nice cut on basic turf Cons: -environmentally unsound as mining is extremely destructive -no safe way to dispose of batteries -still needs to be charged using proper power grid -Would have to be charged at specific location, not very mobile -low cut. 4.5 in is not high enough in FL where I live -small tires leave a deep footprint on soft turf/ground so repeat mowing could leave divots and tire tracks - gets stuck easy -long wheel base so can't fit many on a trailer -not time tested to last years -waterproof? Most likely not -cant replace batteries at gas station -batteries are expensive

[@Taylexwow]

And gas outdoor equipment is some of the most polluting equipment around because emissions haven't been regulated ever. There's no reason your basic residential gas mower should emit enough air pollution in hour of use as a 2017 Toyota Camry driving 300 miles.
