EGO Power+ LM2102SP-A 21-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-ion Self-Propelled Cordless Lawn Mower, (2) 4.0Ah Battery and Rapid Charger Included

This mower is fantastic! It was simple to put together and is very straight forward to operate. I am mowing 2.5 acres of rough, uneven, hilly ground that we call our yard. After my husband's passing I found I can't start either of our two recoil start mowers, including the one with the "Easy Start" logo right next to the handle for the recoil starter. It didn't take long to realize that the closest neighbor was going to get real tired of me asking him to start the thing every time I had to put more fuel in the tank!Our son has an EGO mower that he has used for several years now. He thinks a lot of his, so I didn't spend a lot of time looking at other makes and models. This model seemed to be a good fit for me. Since it came with the rapid charger and two batteries, i figured I wouldn't have a whole lot of down time waiting for a battery to recharge so I could keep mowing. Just because the weather is good right now, it doesn't mean it's going to be good in an hour or so as I waited for the battery to recharge. At least, that was the logic I was using.I watched the grass growing as I awaited the arrival of my new machine. And I worried if it was getting to be more than I should ask any mower to chew through. A lot of our grass is "thread and needle" which sends up many tough seed stalks on each clump of grass. When the mower arrived, I was thrilled by how easy it was to put together. Most of it was pre-assembled. I put one of the batteries into the charger and found both were at 75% so almost fully charged right out of the box. Adjusting the handle bar was easy and the mower deck height was even easier with it's simple one and done lever right on top of the mowing deck!Then came the moment of truth. Push in the start button and pull the bale back and presto! Starting was a breeze. I was immediately impressed with how quiet this machine runs. Yes, it does make some sound, but you could carry on a conversation if somebody wanted to walk along! Wow! What a difference! I was also impressed that mowing with this mower in mulch mode isn't as dirty a job as it is with any other mower I've used. This EGO keeps everything pretty well contained where all the chewing is taking place rather than scattering it everywhere. NICE!I started out in a section of yard that is relatively level and not as rough as a lot of what I had to cut and I found this mower to be nimble and easy to navigate. It pushes very lightly in most circumstances. I discovered that, even when you have to back up to work your way around something, it's easy to handle. A tip I'd read in the operator's manual said that if it pulls backward hard, just push it forward a little and then pull it backward. I'm no engineer, so why that works I can't say. I can attest to the fact that it does work beautifully. Backing the mower up is just as easy as going forward.Now let me tell you about it's self propelled feature. It's more than happy to assist you on the grades. Simply engage the trigger on the right and away you go! Use the lever on the left to adjust it to your walking speed. When that required me to do longer uphill climbs, I found I don't walk as fast as I do on the level, but it's easy to adjust on the move as the need arises. Most of the time I didn't use the self propulsion and that's probably because 1. this mower pushes easily and, 2. I've never had it before. I had to remind myself to let the EGO do the heavy lifting!With the dual batteries and the rapid charger I found that I had plenty of power for the job. When the red light indicated my battery was getting tired, I'd pop that one out and the charger had already put a full charge on the battery it was working on. Trade the batteries out and keep right on mowing! It's the perfect set up!I now understand why our son is so crazy about his EGO Power+ LM2102SP-A and I'm very glad I had sense enough to listen to him and get the exact same mower. It's a wonderful machine.

*out of the box*Love it so far. Easy to assemble (battery did not come recharged). It works great. I was able to mow my entire lawn in 1 battery. It’s quieter than gas (I still wore earplugs). Starts immediately. Turns off when you let go of the trigger… no gas. No liquids. Cut great.The self propel controls are weird to get used to. Hopefully will remember to update review next year!

I've only had this mower for 10 days, but I LOVE it! I've been wanting to try a battery powered mower, but the price made me reluctant and I had a working mower. Once my gas powered mower quit, I decided to try it, since it was comparable in price to a gas powered mower similar to my previous one. It came with 2 batteries and the charger. I charged both batteries immediately, and read the manual! My yard is less than 1/2 acre. My son tried it in the back yard to see how well it cuts and was impressed with the power of a battery powered lawn mower. It is easy to use (self propelled) and when I mowed the whole yard it only used one battery charge. The 21 inch cut is even, even on the lowest setting. The self propel has a speed setting so it can go turtle slow, or fast walking speed! I would recommend this to people with small yards who want to get away from using gas and oil.

Great battery powered mower, cuts for 45 minutes on the 6ah battery and 30 minutes in the 4ah on regular height dry grass. Very quiet yet powerful and self propel works great as getting older means walking slower. It can be changed form fast to slow and works with a press of a button. The only complaint so far is the cutting height. While I know that the lowest setting is the recommended cut height for most lawns, I like my grass a bit shorter and there is no way to get it to that height with this mower. My Honda gasoline mower does cut much lower.Really not a complaint but a personal preference.So that’s the reason I give it a 4 star instead of 5. But I will continue to use it as it’s a pleasure cutting grass with a quiet smooth running mower.

This is my 3rd electric lawnmower in three years, and in my opinion is class leading in design, flexibility, and performance. I'm an retired distinguished engineer for an international semiconductor company, so maybe my expectations in a variety of areas are a bit more demanding, but so be it- this mower brings a grin to my face every time I use it! Corners were not cut in its design or implementation is the net takeaway that I have.First, the charger is higher power, faster, and the battery and charger system and connectors seem designed to optimize efficiency and minimize looses.Second, the setup for the mower is VERY flexible as regards the blades and optimizing function- it is normally setup with one fixed blade, then three additional blades to choose from for optimizing the mower function for how you use it. The blade optimized for bag filling is my favorite, and puts that part of function in a class of its own, in my experience.Third, the handle bar is well optimized both for solid functionality and height adjustment, ease of maneuver and control access, but also with its telescopic design folds down to a very compact unit for storage. That's an important consideration for me.Fourth, the motors seem to be optimized for high efficiency as well as strong output- the self propelled function works well, but even better, this is the first mower than can handle my whole large back yard with a single battery charge. And with two provided batteries, doing both front and back at the same time is a breeze.Curiously, I got an early endorsement for this mower before I bought mine from an acquaintance on my block who was also a power conversion specialist, developing battery chargers for space craft. So, yes, for me, compared with the others I have tried, all with good reputations, the EGO is out of this world...
