Bought this a few months ago from my Honda gas mower and haven’t looked back. Cleaner, fairly maintenance free, and not as noisy. My neighbors never know I’m cutting my grass anymore. The storage of the mower is also great because I can stand it up and not have to worry about gas spilling out.

Tony Brown cuts great but I’ve only had it for a few months. One thing I read online is that sharpening the blade once or twice a year will keep the cut consistent.

Really appreciate the testing you did on this. I was debating on what to get and seeing you mow that pasture made up my mind. Plus, now I know the 7.5 amp will be more than enough power for my yard.

I love that you can see how much charge is left on the battery while mowing. That is awesome. Good review my friend

Great video review Brett, THANKS !

Great video! And a great demonstration of an amazing machine. I just bought one with a bit of trepidation, but am finding it to be a great replacement for my old Toro. My Toro weighed 80 pounds... the Ego weighs 55, but it seems like it’s less than half the weight of the Toro. Easy to use one-handed on the flats, and you can crank the speed up to where you’re hustling to keep up with it. I live on crazy hilly land, with a lot of challenging areas in my yard. This mower is so easy to maneuver... you can move it around easily without even using the self propel, and can mow easily as well that way if you want to extend battery life. Still not sure about a plastic mower, but Ego has shown me that they know how to engineer materials so I trust their choices (I already own their string trimmer, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, pole saw, edger and chain saw). The single biggest fault for the machine in my mind is that a replacement 7Ah battery costs $350. But all my Ego batteries are still going strong, and some are 3 years old. They’ve got the best battery and charger tech out there. All in all, an amazing machine, and a great review!

I LOVE my Ego lawn equipment. I started with the blower a long time ago and about a year ago, I purchased the non self-propelled mower, weed wacker and chain saw. I could not be happier with every tool. They are amazing, hold a great charge and three out of four of them use the same battery (mower takes a larger battery). I will never go back to the pain of fuel mixing, having to refill the can, deal with bad gas, the smell of gas and the danger of gas fumes and engine trouble. Lego My Ego :)

Yes its awesome! Glad you like it!

What a beautiful area you live in, that view of the mountains is something else. So, it looks like suction is an issue even with the double blades and you cutting low. I purchased the Ego push mower last year with the 5.0 AH battery and found issues on the higher settings even with the high lift blade which I purchased towards the end of the mowing season last year. What I noticed was that with the stock blade, from the #3 setting and above the suction was not good it would mat down the grass, the high lift blade helps a bit and I can mow at the #3 setting, though if the grass is even damp it won't lift the grass blades...the #4 setting with the high lift blade is ok but the grass has to be very dry for it to cut well. My issue is my backyard because its low lying and its very humid so the grass in the shady areas (between the my house and my neighbors and the area along the fence) tends to stay damp. I had an old Lawn Boy where matted down grass was never an issue but it is with the Ego, which stinks because overall I love it for the 5000 sq. ft of lawn that I do have.

I bought one last week and love that it's super quiet, I can literally play music on my cellphone in my pocket, hear it and mow..

Your grass looks amazing! I have a similar mower but mine isn't self propelled. I agree about the features that it has are great. I have to take four breaks for charging but in that time I clean the yard, trim the edges of the grass and work in the garden.

Brett, first off thanks for always providing a great video; now what was the charge time on that battery when completely dead, keep it up enjoy what you're doing.

I have the previous version EGO. Bought a refurb just to test and I have to say, it’s been fantastic. Great job EGO. I plan to upgrade to the dual blade soon.

Thank you sir!

You mentioned that you don't know why other mowers don't have a single point height adjustment like the EGO, I'll tell you one reason. If your lawn is really over grown one way to get through it is to raise the front wheels higher than the back wheels, the mower will not bog down as often or at all if you mow slowly enough. 95% of the time you will mow with all wheels level but there are times you may need to adjust them differently. Your Lawn looks great, nice cross cut, good fertilization and watering. Please don't tell anyone how great the weather is here!

awesome video, thanks for putting your kids to work...i have 3 at home that will be doing this for me for now on!

The Jurassic Park t-shirt was a subtle touch :)

I just picked this up this week. It’s amazing. As a father of two little small kids the thing I like the most is I can quickly do a section while playing with them. It’s quiet, doesn’t hurt their ears, light, and fast.

The 7.5 ran almost an hour I believe. The fast charger charges them in about an hour as well if I remember correctly.

Mine broke after 5 minutes. After about 4 passes on my back lawn, the back left wheel broke off. Sent pics to Ego and they said it was too damaged to repair. Picked up a replacement last night, so hopefully it will work this time.

I just picked up the non- select cut model from Home Depot this weekend.. REALLY impressed! I hope it lasts! 🙏

@Brettsgrasscapades

4 жыл бұрын

I really do need to swap the blades and see.

I am going on year three with mine. So far I have had one battery die, and had to have the mower unit replaced because the electronics went out on the drive control. Home depot repair personnel commented that roughly 1 in 2 or 1 in 3 of these units fails in the warranty period. I really wanted to like this equipment, purchased a full set. Tired of gas mower maintenance. Not overly pleased with it all told. If you have regularly maintained short grass, it will do a nice job. If it is longer you might not like the results. Would i buy one again? Not without assurances that the operating problems I experienced are fixed. Biggest gripe: Mower speed control. When the mower encounters thicker grass it speeds up. It does this unfortunately way to late. If there was a mower speed over ride that would allow you to manually ramp it up that would be the best option (with the understanding that the battery would drain sooner). It makes the mower somewhat unuseable in thicker grass (more so when you need to trim around things than straight line as the mower slows down immediately when it senses lower loading with shorter grass). This unit does not do a good job with leaves and or pickup either. I purchased the high lift blade which helps tremendously but does not do anywhere near as well as a traditional gas mower. If you use your mower to deal with leaves, look elsewhere, you will be disappointed.

Thanks for the review Brett. I have the older EGO self-propelled model. I do love it, but I noticed it does struggle at times when going from 5” to 3”. I wonder if keeping it lower would help.

Got one a few weeks ago to replace a 25 yr old Briggs and Stratton. At first I was suspect that it couldn’t cut as well as the old Briggs. How can a mower so quiet with hardly any vibration mow the grass any good? Well, it does! Like a hot knife through butter. It’s so light and maneuverable compared to the gas mower that it saves me time getting the job done. I am totally happy with my EGO. No more gas, oil or smelling like gas fumes when I’m done.

I gave up gas and AC corded garden equipment in 2011. I no longer have a gas can, 2-cycle oil, spark plugs, air filters, or pull-to-start ropes at my house any longer. The battery-electric tools are all instant start, quiet, smoke free, and sized for the job. I won't go back ever again. I have COPD and run out of breath just walking fast. I have a small front lawn with a small hill in the middle that was becoming difficult for me to mow. I had a Black and Decker battery powered mower for 8 years that worked fine. But I needed a self-propelled version so I bought the EGO (last year's model) which completely solved my problem. The thing is my 10 year old son likes the EGO so much he mows the lawn before I get around to doing it.

I just purchased three of these for my landscape business.

Bought the regular push 21" EGO a few months ago and have been loving it. You should try the high lift blade they included in the box to get more bagging/mulching power on the Select Cut. Just bought into the entire EGO ecosystem on Memorial Day - have the 530CFM blower, the multi-head tool with trimmer, edger and cultivator! You'd be a prime candidate for their zero turn riding mower they are teasing on their website right now.

That’s were the high lift blade comes in handy. You would see much fewer uncut blades. I actually use one in my commercial lawn care business but we only use it in places where we can’t get the 36” stander in or it makes more sense to use for a small blvd cut
