EGO POWER+ Electric Lawn Mower, Self-Propelled Cordless, Includes (2) 56V 4.0Ah Batteries and Rapid Charger - LM2102SP-A

I have about an acre of lawn with between my front and back yard with thick Missouri grass (and weeds). I just moved into my first house and... long story short.. buying a zero turn would be a big hit for me. Naturally, I started looking for a gas push mower and was stunned to see the price tags on those as well. At that price you might as well just buy the zero turn. After checking out reviews on this EGO mower I figured I'd give it a shot and at half the price of brand name gas mowers, I figured what the heck. Day one. Setup and operation was super easy. The grass was knee high and by the end of my mowing session I was contemplating my decision. It took me 6 batteries worth to get it all mowed and 3 hours later....Fast forward to a week later (today). I had my batteries pre charged and was expecting to use around 4 batteries. That didn't happen! I was surprised to find it only took me 1.75 batteries to mow my entire front and back yard. This time, unlike my first mow, I used the self propelled feature and did zero manual pushing. I should also add that I don't let my batteries go completely dry. After researching I've found that it's suggested to take the battery down to %20 before slapping it on the charger. So that's what I did.Note: my mower came with 2 batteries and while mowing on battery 1 (with the backup battery charging), I noticed by the time battery 1 is dead, battery 2 is just finishing up charging (or within 10 minutes).Only time will tell with this mower but I'm %100 satisfied as of now. Don't judge the first mow! That being said I'm very interested in the EGO Zero Turn mower (when the budget permits). But as of now I strongly suggest purchasing this "push" mower if youre on the fence.

Great product!1. The mower works well, the self-propel, height adjustment, and different plugs work well.2. The automatic bagging is also done good enough though the entrance of the bag gets blocked frequently and you have to manually push the cut grass to the bottom of the bag or empty it --this is the only thing that could be better.3. With the two batteries I mow the entire lawn for 2 hours. They charge fast enough and after 3 years I don't feel the capacity decline. In winter I store them with 50-60% charge and in Summer when I pick them up they have kept the charge pretty well.4. I have 4 other Ego tools, like blower, trimmer, etc. and they all work with the same batter, which is just perfect!5. By the way the trace of the mower wheels remain on grass while I notice my neighbor's gas powered mower does not leave trace. Perhaps it is because of the weight of item.--------------------------Update:After 2.5 years all of the sudden the mower did not turn on; it was a circuit problem most likely, not an engine issue. I didn't know till that point but this tool comes with 5 year warranty or mower (and 3 years on battery and charger). I was very happy when they fixed it for me for free! Loved it!

very well designed; three blades depending on if want to bag or leave clippings and a third to basically shred (I have only bagged so far). How long batteries last depends on length of lawn/how much cut and if use the self-propel feature. My yard is mostly flat with a few small hills so I mostly push it and only use self-propel when going up hills, so lasting about an hour a charge (by time a battery goes to red, the other one that comes with mower, has fully charged). The bag works well and is just about right size and weight to make it convenient but not too heavy. And does a fair job of getting close to objects (so not too much trimming required later). Will be interested to see the life of the batteries but so far, have been very pleased

This first paragraph is for context on our use case and situation. I have the mower that arrived with two 4Ah batteries. We live on about 1/3rd acre with our house centered, a paved driveway, patio, deck, and a shed. Grass grows on most of our lawn, some areas very thick and fast, other areas almost none at all. We do have trees and shrubs trimming the house. The mower replaced a 6.5hp gas-powered yamaha.Overall I really like the EGO. I purchased it last year and wanted to give it a full 1 year of seasons to better gauge how it works. In fact, I liked it enough that I also bought an EGO weed eater and hedge trimmer. However I still only have the two 4Ah batteries. This spring I was able to weed eat and trim the hedges for my whole yard, and mow the full back yard and about 1/3rd of the front yard on the first battery. The second battery only lost one bar finishing the front yard. So for our purposes, the two batteries work really well.I use the self-propelled function almost exclusively on the mower. It pushes fine within the self-propelled wheels, but I like the ease. That said, I have noticed the mower consumes a noticeable amount more power with the wheels engaged than without. That isn't necessarily bad or unexepected, just noticeable. I also noticed that when the battery is nearly fully empty, the mower did seem to lose power. I would not have noticed; however when swapping to the fully charged battery I noticed how much power it seemed to lose with the battery drain.The other notable item to me is that the nearly drained battery was about 75% charged in the time it took me to complete mowing the front yard. For us, two 4Ah batteries are sufficient and I am glad with that choice.My one pain point this spring is that the thicker patches of grass did cause the mower to stop a couple times. To be fair, I was mowing at the second to lowest height setting and I mulch the cut grass so there is no discharge. Comparably, my gass mower was only used as a discharge and struggled through spring mowing much worse. I will likely stick with the mulching setup, but will definitely be raising the mower blade to a higher setting which sould help in those thick patches.Overall I am sticking with a four star review as I did expect the power boost setting to kick in more in the really thick grass sections. In my front yard, these spots are more of a straight shot and is a gradual shift from thinner to thicker grass. The power boost works well in this space. The back yard has more flash cutovers from low to thick and long grass sections which seems to give the power boost a challenge.
