Love my Echo 58v, which also powers their various attachments. Only downside is the mower doesn’t have a self propel option…but it’s way lighter than my old gas Honda. |

I’m going into year 3 with my Ego push mower, and I love it, but there is one main drawback. I love all of the obvious advantages - no more gas cans and engine maintenance, runs very quiet, it’s very light and maneuverable. I can mow my quarter acre and my neighbors quarter acre on one charge except during growing season when it is extra thick. The battery is quick charge, so even when I did have to I was back out there in 15 minutes with enough juice to finish the job, so a small built in beer break. I bought the power shovel this past winter so now I have two batteries so that problem is now moot. The main drawback I find is that it doesn’t have a ton of suction, so in the fall it isn’t great at sucking up all the leaves I was used to with my old mower. It just doesn’t have the suction I like that really stands the grass up and gives it a tight cut. It’s not horrible and nobody probably notices it but me, but sometimes the taller grass will got knocked down rather than get sucked up and trimmed. I typically double cut anyway, so it’s a minor observation more so than a harsh criticism. I love it overall and would recommend. |

I’ve had a Worx mower for over 5 years. It works great and I bought a blower, weedwacker and a machine to suck up leaves from them. Been super happy with their products. Have a pretty small yard now, takes 10 minutes but my old yard was a solid 40 minute cut and never had issues. Need to get my blades sharpened in the next week or so and I’ll be set until winter. |

Don't do it. One day you're trading in your testosterone-n-two-stroke fueled push-mower for a battery-powered EGO and before you know it you'll be blowing Kevin Spacey in his garage! |

battery powered everything is inevitable. within 10 years, every electronic device will have 2-5x the battery capacity, 5-10x the charging speed, and no significant fire risk. you will only plug your phone in once a week for about 10 minutes, and your car will go 1000 miles on a 10 min charge. theyre already hitting these numbers in the lab with many different chemistries. |
