EGO Power+Electric Lawn Mower, Self-Propelled Cordless with 22" Aluminum Deck, Select Cut and Touch Drive, Includes 56V 10.0Ah Battery and Charger - LM2206SP

My mower: LM2135SP POWER+ Mower 21" Select Cut™ System with Touch Drive™ Self-Propelled Kit (7.5Ah Battery)It came with an extra FREE 5Ah battery when I bought it.I'm in the honeymoon phase, but this mower has been amazing! I am DEEPLY impressed with my EGO battery tools, and this is coming from a heavy skeptic and heavy pre-purchase researcher. I was turned off by the stupid, modern aesthetics of the EGO mowers, but compared to everything else on the market, the EGO mowers seemed to get the best reviews. I am just annoyed by the modern, crinkly design aesthetic. The mower *could* be a smooth turtle shell design, which would be amazingly easy to clean with a single wipe. Instead we've got a plastic shell that has infinite creases, slopes, flats, valleys, hard-to-reach areas and whatever. But I guess that's what people like these days.So I grabbed this deal (with the FREE extra 5Ah battery, and I am so glad that I did!Firstly, this mower is way lighter than I was expecting. It looks like a monster in the listing, but it's actually extremely light. Love the front and rear handles, great design! I am replacing a 30 year-old Black and Decker corded electric mower, and this new EGO mower is much lighter. And yes, my corded mower lasted me 30 years! I bought it in 1995. I'm not expecting the same from the EGO, but it is often true that "they don't make 'em like they used to".My lawn is about 3000 square feet and it has lots of obstacles and crinkles, but is generally flat. This mower has a self-propelled mode that is nice and easy to use, but I mostly don't need it. You can easily push or pull this mower with one hand. My grass is not "lush" and the cut with the stock blade setup is excellent to me. Also, I have always bagged my grass, but now I have decided to just use the side discharge chute and HOLY MOLY I cannot believe how well this mower mulches. The grass coming out of the chute is almost like a powder. I'm not joking. This mower has way more power than I was expecting! You can hear the grass being sliced by the fast moving blades as you go.The design of the grass side chute, though, is surprisingly lame. It just kind of wedges in position with the rear, spring-loaded door just kind of lopsidedly holding it in place. Still works though.Love the 4 position handle, and the grass cutting height adjustment is crazy easy to use... but it was also easy on my old corded mower.Secondly, I was able to mow my entire lawn, trim my entire lawn, and clean up with a blower with a SINGLE 7.5Ah battery that had two full bars left over when I finished. Astonishing. (yes, I also have the EGO trimmer/blower combo)I have large oak trees in my lawn, and I have to be sure now to clear the lawn of the twigs and such that fall from these trees. The EGO mower is light for a reason... it doesn't feel like it could withstand having twigs smashed around on the underside. If I didn't clear the debris, I would expect to have cracked and holey plastic around the blades. But this is all just speculation at the moment. I do kind of wish the blade area was made of metal.

Electric mowers have never looked so good.Easy to charge and prepare, Ego has something special going on here. It comes with batteries interchangeable between most other Ego products, so if you buy a combo with 2 batteries you can also power your leaf blower and string trimmer all with one power source! This really adds great value to the purchase.The mower itself is great. I’d only used the mulch function so far, but it comes with other blades and accessories that help in doing any job you wish. Cut quality is close to or on par with gas mowers in the same price class, though it’s not perfect and might leave behind some stragglers that don’t get lifted up into the blades the first time.However, without spending more money this is one of the best options out there. It cuts quick and the self propelled feature is pretty fast and easy to use, and since it’s electric it’s a lot quieter than any gas mower out there. Would I trust this not to wake my neighbors in the early hours? No. Blades spinning at insane speed is loud no matter what. But it’s quieter than gas and a lot less hot and smelly.Overall, you’re getting an amazing deal that will welcome you into the world of electric lawn appliances and leave you satisfied that you get to put down the gas can and pick up the charger instead.

LM2135SP POWER+ Mower 21" Select Cut™ System with Touch Drive™ Self-Propelled Kit (7.5Ah Battery) It came with an extra FREE 5Ah battery.Okay, I have a vacation home that we visit every couple of weeks or so. I've been paying someone to cut the grass and edge there for a couple of years. I finally decided since I was paying for 2 houses every 2 weeks it would just make much more sense to purchase a mower I can throw in the back of my car (or my trunk) and take it with me to do the work myself. Obviously that means I had to go with an electric mower. I did plenty of research and landed on the eGo LM21355SP. What a GREAT decision. It's already paid for itself after just 5 months. It runs great it's maneuverable, it handles high grass (which was my biggest concern) and I can get the entire yard done on a single charge. It's lightweight so easy to throw in either the backseat (no oil, no gas) or in the trunk. Our vacation home is at the beach where EVERYTHING rusts so the heavy duty strong plastic material is a tremendous bonus! Being plastic was my second concern, turns out it's a REASON to BUY! This is hands down the best value for the money I have spent in years as a home owner. I'm now in control of when my yard gets cut and as you can see by the images provided this thing handles even grass I would never expect it to be able to handle! If you are on the fence... Just do it! Worth every penny and I wish I had purchased this beast sooner! Great job, batteries charge fast and provide the charge advertised. A little over 1 hour for the 7.5ah and a little over 45 minutes for the 5.0ah battery. Awesome mower! FIVE STARS and if I could give it more I would. Honest Review and purchased with my hard earned money, but already paid for itself!
