So cool to see it actually cutting grass! You all rock🔥

I have had a Milwaukee mower for one year now and do not usually use the mulch bag. What I have noticed about it the few times that I did use it though, around the back corners of the bag, it is starting to fray and come apart. I don't allow it to get as full as it could when using it so there is no extra weight on the corners. Also, the few times I have used it, I use my blower to make sure I put it away clean, mostly bc I don't want to drag any debris into my garden shed. I am probably too particular about my lawn and lawn equipment. When I pay this much for a mower, I expect it to last. Other than that, it is a fantastic mower, I have had no issues with it. I did purchase two extra batteries so that I can rotate them between uses. I purchased the blower and multi attachment string trimmer. The trimmer is great...the blower is not much to write home about.....this review is after one year of use of all the pieces.

Wow it amazes me how Tool brands have come like Milwaukee and Makita because back then you couldn’t get stuff like this and I think they did a fabulous job of coming up with lawn equipment that are battery operated and you just have to use one battery or two for just one system

Wow first video I’ve seen of it actually being used other than the Milwaukee demo videos

This is a great start for Milwaukee in the landscaping side of tools, they are also working on a Ride on mower and a Zero Turn. Now I’m assuming that the zero turn will fall under the MX Fuel line and the ride on could be running off 4 x 12.0. But this is all speculation at the moment. I’m currently waiting for my mowers to show up at my Red Zone as I already have 13 pre orders for them. In Canada they are selling for $1289 - $1349

Nice to finally see a positive review on Milwaukee's mower. Most reviews on this mower have problems galore with shutting down for no reason. Since some people have problems with the 12ah batteries not charging all the way up, I wonder how this mower will run with 6 ah or 8 ah ?

I bought an electric start TORO years ago and it was $1000 Canadian dollars, so around $800US. It has a full blade clutch, so it runs with the blade stopped, and it has the self propelled drive that you just start walking and it moves at your speed. Milwaukee seems to have made it into a real mower, rather than the plastic deck garbage we see in basically all the others out there, so the price isn’t out of line. I note that their controls and their function are very similar to the TORO I have, and I have always liked how they are set up, and how they work.

Ohhh helll yeaaaahhhhh The mower, the Blower & The vacuum are on my wish list 🤣

Excellent overview video. Thank you for sharing it.

The lack of a discharge chute bump is not to make it go through gates, that would be a very narrow gate. It is to allow it to mow up to the edge of a gate, wall etc.

Very cool mower but when I looked up the price my sox flew off and hit the TV. Wow...$1300+. I've been luvin Stan's videos for several years now. He's got a fun and interesting take on product reviews.

I feel exactly the same as u, im a huge milwaukee tool fan and will be spending a large amount of money on many tools in the next few weeks. And yes the price is a bit of a shock, but im glad to see reviews like yours that r positive cuz i would really like to transfer to milwaukee for all my lawn tool needs as well

Now time for a Riding mower. Have a feeling it's already on the works.

Excellent review. I like the lawnmower so I just picked up one at Northern tools. By far the best price on this particular lawnmower. I will try it with the original blade, but I will get the high lift blade next weekend. Looks very solid. I had an EGO 8.3 torque with the 10AH battery. It was a total disappointment because even when I went forward and backwards it left an excessive amount of stragglers. Hate it. So I return it and got this Milwaukee M18 2823-22HD.

I just discovered this existed. I waited for this mower for years but I eventually had to upgrade and this didn’t exist. Seeing the price and the inability to buy this without batteries, I am glad I purchased the Ego for $750. The battery is great and charges fully in less than an hour and lasts me more than I need. I also like how the Ego seems to fold easier and the plastic deck won’t rust. I was a bit skeptical of the all plastic design but it’s holding up well. The self propelled is also easier to use with the ego. However, the lights on the Milwaukee are nice. Kind of disappointed with Milwaukee on this product but at least it hasn’t made me regret buying the ego.

Wow you guys did not save any pains and melted all that snow just so you test this mower! Nice work ;) Would be nice to see a hardcore test in very tall grass!

Best video i seen so far thanks bud

Great demonstration. Bought a toro last summer it works great has 60 amp 30 volt battery that is useless to me for anything but mowing. I'll buy anything Milwaukee makes have a huge collection of their tools. The 2 12 amp batteries are $500 & I can use them in other tools like table saw or miter saw. This mower has a lot of functions the toro doesn't and I'm totaly happy with every Milwaukee tool I have. I have friends that will buy this toro from me as soon as I find a Milwaukee

I "had" to buy an electric mower last year due to shoulder surgery and not being able to do the pull cord anymore. If Milwaukee would have had a mower I would have bought it since I have Milwaukee tools and a variety of batteries. I was wondering when you put batteries in, do they have to be the same amperage? I've had some of my friends ask if a battery power mower last long enough? My answer has been "I last long enough for me" since I'm getting a little older and don't want/can't mow my yard in one 2 hour session. It gives me a reason to come in and take a break. Great video review. As soon as my Ego battery dies, I'll be getting a Milwaukee, hopefully a second generation when they come out.

This might be a pretty lengthy review, but I want to give an average homeowners perspective. I was leery of trying another electric mower after being less than impressed with an Ego. A few years ago I bought what was at the time the second from the top of the line Ego, which was rated at 7.0 ft. Lbs. of torque. It was very underwhelming, and I doubted the torque numbers based on gas mowers i had owned that had the same amount of torque. I have a lawn that’s a little over a quarter acre maybe .26 or .27. The Ego produced lots of clumps even after trying the different blades it came with, and I had to mow very slowly to prevent this. It also could not mow my entire yard without draining the battery. It died after completing about 90% of my lawn. After watching about every review of the Milwaukee on KZread I decided to give it a chance. I know 1100 is a lot to spend on a residential mower which is what I consider this thing, not using it commercially for cleanup where the zero-turns can’t reach. After my initial mow I can say that this is a keeper for sure as long as it holds up. I dont usually bag, preferring instead to side discharge and then rake. For the sake of this review I decided to bag the clippings from my front lawn which is about 65 % of my lot. The grass wasn’t exactly wet but still had a lot of moisture from three days of showers which had ended a few days previously. I had it set on the second from lowest setting and was probably cutting from two to three inches of grass. It handled this with ease and never kicked into high rpm mode. I should mention that i mowed with the speed barely at three on the dial. I mowed the side and the back with side discharge and the back wasn’t very tall but still wet with morning dew. When i was done it had at least 25% juice left if the gauge is linear. It had two bars still lit but the third bar had been on for a good while so I dont think it would have been long before it was down to one bar. I wanted an electric that would mow my entire lawn on one charge and that had ample power. This thing appears to be as powerful as advertised. I think if I mowed dry grass and used side discharge and then raked as I usually do It might only use half the charge or a little more. The cut quality was fantastic and the only stragglers i had were areas that I missed. There was zero clumping, it never bogged down once. It’s a lot of money for sure, and I wasn’t sure it was going to perform up to my expectations, but it did. I can honestly say the cut quality is better than any gas mower i’ve ever owned. If you can justify the cost you can’t go wrong.

Torn between waiting for this mower or buying the EGO LM2135SP. Whichever I end up getting I also intend to get the same platform blower and string trimmer/edger. Any insight? Not a business just working in my own yard and my tools need a serious upgrade. I like the Milwaukee mower but like the EGO 765 CFM blower. My lawn isn't huge, 2500 sq. ft. so both are overkill but they are the two I am looking at.

I’ll have to wait for some real footage of mowing wet overgrown grass. I seen the test footage against the Honda petrol mower. But I’m not convinced.. they didn’t mention what rpm’s the Honda was set at. When I got my Honda the rpm’s were set to 2800.. most contractors will adjust the rpm’s straight up to 3600. The difference between 2800 to 3600 is night and day. So if the test mower was set at 2800 then it’s already an unreliable test. As a contractor I’m happy to pay a premium price for a battery mower and really looking forward to making the switch. But it needs to hit 3600 rpm, have more torque then the Honda 216 and have a runtime of at least 30 minutes going through the worst of the worst. If they can give me that. I’ll buy it.

What I want to know is how much performance (RPM, torque, whatever measurement you want to use) that I would be sacrificing by using some standard XC 5.0’s or even the 6 or 8 ah high outputs instead of this. Obviously my runtime would be way down using the XC 5.0’s but if I have 6 5.0 batteries, I don’t care as the end user to have to switch in the middle of the cut rather than drop $500 on two batteries

Nice grass

If your yard is small, you could easily use their 8amp batteries same power, less run time, how long does it usually take to mow your lawn? Your could probably get 30 minutes out of those if you are cutting 2.5" inches or less. Milwaukee will be launching a 15amp battery soon which will be ideal for commercial applications for this mower. But many homeowners will buy this as well and that size of battery is overkill for them. The new generation from 6-12amp/hrs all have the better 21700 cells so you get the same level of power. But if you think you are going to use the older 5amp batteries from your drill kits...don't, it will make the machine under perform at every level.

I'm happy with it, even with the painful price tag.

My uncle had one of those front-wheel, self-propelled mowers about 50 years ago. I thought the setup was most unusual. Instead of a drive mechanism directly connected to the front wheels, it had a chain-driven axle in the front mounted Above the two front wheels. On the axle mounted above each front wheel, and made of hard rubber, was what essentially looked like a 3-inch diameter, 2 inch-wide "gear" when seen from the side. Picture a 3-inch diameter wheel but instead of a smooth-rolling surface, it had full-width regularly-spaced depressions the entire way around the "wheel" so that it looked, from the side, like a "gear." Now, the genius here was that my uncle's mower's front wheels were not your typical smooth wheels. They too looked like a big "gear" from the side. So you engaged the self-propel mechanism by lowering the drive axle down onto the front wheels, and since both sets of wheels had a "gear" meshing shape, the drive axle was driving the front wheels like they were big gears! Rather simple mechanical genius. However, I don't think the design lasted too long and was never widely adopted because it was fully exposed and you can see how the leg of a pants or something else could get enmeshed into these exposed mating "gears." The demise of this front-wheel drive design was probably a victim of product liability concerns.

The grass you cut was not really that tall and it wasn’t wet. I’ve got the entire Milwaukee quick lock system and the m18 chainsaw. The string trimmer overheats every time when cutting thick weeds on a warm day. My m18 chainsaw drains a battery fast when making big cuts and I’ve overheated it as well. I used to use an ego lawn mower on the job and I was much happier after getting a simple toro gas 190cc mower. The battery stuffs great for small jobs but it doesn’t work very well for a someone with a large property. For a professional using only battery tools is crippling.

If you're using the same sized batteries, they should draw power simultaneously, and should run out at the same time.

Can I PLEASE have the HART 20v air compressor yoi guys have in the shop? I'll do anything....

I can't recall one time i couldn't use a gas mower. Battery mowers are cool but have a bunch of disadvantages compared to a gas. I see them more as a homeowners mower than a lawn business mower

The hilarious part is that Milwaukee excluded the residential buyer with their 1k price tag to appeal to pros who wont buy nearly the number homeowners would at a better price point.

@@jl9362 I dont see it being over priced. It's a big investment, but Milwaukee has great tools. I would expect that mower to last 10 years in a homeowner setting, easy. That's $100 a year and there is no carburetor problems, gas storage, oil changes. All you have to do is remember to charge the batteries, and dont store them in the shed in the winter.

@@zachdemand4508 the mower, perhaps, maybe even longer, the real question boils down to battery life and performance over time. The 12 ah is expensive for just 1. I don't see this setup working well commercially unless strictly for small lawns. Had the price been around $799 as is I'd strongly consider for my home use though

@@Richard-xo2uv I work commercial lawn care. We dont use a push mower for anything unless no other equipment can be used. And even then a trimmer is usually more efficent. Just to give you an idea, last year we used less than 3 gallons of gas per week in the push mower and approximately 15 gallons of fuel per day in the other equipment. One of these mowers could easily replace our current push mower. If this really is marketed towards commercial lawn care the price is very appropriate. We had a push mower from x mark that cost $2200 and it was the biggest piece of shit I have ever used. I'm actually looking forward to more reviews on this thing.

Pretty cool to see it in action other than Milwaukee produced stuff. Congrats on having the best weather when others were chomping at the bit to get a in use vidja. I'm curious if the grass in the vid was the torture test you mentioned, or if there is more video of the taller grass?

Checks this video out. Start at 8:13. not really torture but shows how it handles tall grass vs competitors: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aapok7ufkaisd8o.html

Should I buy one?

Seems the REAL trick is getting commercial contractors on board. I'm not one, but know several, and they scoff at battery powered anything. 🤷‍♂️

If you wanted to pay an extra $1,500 for backup batteries, you could use this thing all day long. That's not too bad, considering the torque this puts out and it has bearing, rubberized wheels. A large company with many mowers would probably never get on board with the idea of a machine with limited customer support, however.

@working_country ___ if it wasn’t self propelled and had variable speed I would absolutely buy it, with my ego I have to mow my grass twice because it doesn’t have enough power but this thing looks like it could chew down to dirt in one pass

Why not show it being used in the long grass you mentioned rather than on grass that isn’t much of a challenge? You had done the testing, why not show it?

1000 dollars lol, you can buy two Hondas for that

Yeah I was gonna buy one till I saw the price. I guess it would be worth it if it had a lifetime warranty or something. Then if u have to buy two 12.0 batteries, there another $600 bucks

Be nice if they sold it as a tool only option for those that already have some M18 12.0 batteries.

They don’t sell as a tool only option, that sucks. That was my only question when watching.

This is why I like DeWALT they don’t charge you for the batteries, on the other hand, only reason why this mower is $1099.99 Because of this $399 for the mower, $249.99 for one battery $499.98 for 2. When you add all that up you get $899.97.

How due you keep something like this clean can it get wet
