Pros & Cons

Pros

Lawnmower is a serious purchase for our household. We have 1 1/3 acre of grass and it cuts it very nicely with about half the effort of my self-propelled gas push mower. Clean out the housing after every mowing.

Lightweight, shockingly quiet, powerful, efficient. The lightweight design make it easy to handle.

One-lever height adjustment is the best i've used. Use the metal extension bar and a wrench/socket to unscrew the nuts & bolt.

The last point is really why i bought it. Just sayin’. Five year warranty.

The ego mower is much lighter than a gas mower, so maneuverability is much easier. It replaces my toro with honda 160 gas engine, and i can tell you the ego outperforms the toro in all ways i use it. It works as well for mowing and mulching as my old ...  Read More



Cons

It is very frustrating. One is 45 minutes away, the other 2 hours. Not personal pace.

Mower deck raises an inch in the back when you engage the self propelled…then lowers an inch when you disengage it. The self-propelled bar that needs to be held down is in a different position - it is so much worse now.

Customer service reps lie to get you off the phone, but no one does anything to fix the problem. Ego customer service is a call center, very likely a 3rd party with step by step instructions from ego on what to say.

Quality


It is well built, easy to maneuver, easy to clean, and does the job perfectly - at low noise.


The self-propelled feature works great and is very adjustable to whatever speed makes you comfortable.


First time i used the new mower i wanted to move it over two feet after putting battery in; when putting my hand on the handle ...  Read More


After my very first mow, the battery lasted the entire mow and died right when i finished, roughly about an hour.

Price


Spend $40 and get a regular, slow charger.


Despite an abundance of excellent reviews it was an expensive buy.


I think a carbon fiber mower would be a bit absurd/expensive.

Shipping


This arrived about two weeks ago, westchester county in new york.


This item will ship on a pallet and will be delivered via a pallet jack.


I purchased it from amazon for several reasons first the price is the best you can find and delivered to your door , came in 4 days .


I didn't have time to wait for amazon shipping since we are expecting rain tonight, and my grass has grown a lot recently.

Packaging/appearance


I am giving this mower 4 stars because the box had apparently been opened and there was no instruction manual.


Upon opening the box i observed everything to be secured with very thick pieces of cardboard.


Thinking back to how this was packaged, there was a piece of metal that was touching this exact spot (the frame of the rear-han...  Read More


Overall, everything appeared to be packaged nicely, and a quick test of the mower showed that things were working.

Competitiveness


It replaces my toro with honda 160 gas engine, and i can tell you the ego outperforms the toro in all ways i use it.


(2) mulching seems better than my previous ego, even traversing in a few longer areas of grass i have caused no clumping as the...  Read More


The ego had serious competition, after a couple of learning errors and figuring out the controls to allow the self drive to wor...  Read More


I usually bag my grass so i purchased the high lift blade, but performance one included is better than the toro.
