EGO Power+Electric Lawn Mower, Cordless, Includes 56V 5.0Ah Battery And Rapid Charger - LM2101

This is my first mower that doesn't run on gas. I was hesitant to buy this, but now I wish I had made the switch to battery-electric long before. My one caveat is the blade that mine shipped with...it kind of stinks...you really need to get the high-lift blade. See below.Just to be clear, I did not opt for the self-propelled option as I didn't really see it as necessary having never used a self-propelled mower.Out of the box...well, it pretty much works out of the box. Essentially no assembly required...just unpack, unfold, pop the battery in and go. Easy peasy. Seriously, 5 minutes at most and no tools required (unless you want to change the blade...and you WILL want to change the blade...see below).The mower is not silent, but compared to a gas mower it is super quiet. No gas to refill and no oil to change. Very clean setup.To clean the deck, you simply tip it on its side and wipe it out with your hand or a paper towel. Takes less than a minute. Crazy easy.Light weight and very portable, especially if you take the battery out.Battery life depends on your needs. I have mowed three times on a single charge, but I have a small yard. Takes me 20 minutes for a complete mowing session, so about 60 minutes on a charge should be a good estimate. Obviously you could get a second battery if this is insufficient for your yard size.Cut quality is horrible with the stock blade. You must spend $30 for the high lift blade if your version doesn't come with one, at least in my experience and for my yard. Honestly I can't believe EGO bothers to ship with the "mulching" blade on this mower.Maneuverability is not as good as I am used to with my old gas mower. Only a problem with small yards or if you have lots of obstacles. To be clear, this is not a deal killer. At this point I am nit picking.Bottom line: fantastic mower and I am very happy with the purchase and its performancePros:1. quiet2. clean3. easy to assemble4. easy to use5. compact/foldable6. powerfulCons1. The "mulching" blade that came with my version is horrible. I am unsure why EGO even bothers shipping with this blade. It does not stand up the grass nor does it pull up any debris on the yard like leafs. If you are mulching, you must buy the high lift blade if your mower doesn't come with one. This blade makes all the difference.2. This mower is a bit "bulky" from a maneuverability standpoint. Not sure why this is the case, but definitely not very easy to mow smaller yards that have a lot of obstacles. My previous gas mower was actually much better.3. The blade seems to dull quickly...hoping that a sharper, more durable blade will be available in the future.

I'll make this short and sweet and get right to the point. I could type paragraphs about my background working in lawn and garden and repairing gas tools but that's irrelevant. On to what is;TL;DR great mower, has many positives over a gas engine. REGISTER YOUR MOWER/CHARGER/BATTERY as soon as you get it. EGO customer service was great to me but it would have been a pain if I hadn't registered.Here are the selling points that led me to buy this battery powered (scoff!) mower. So far it's lived up to them very well;1) Storage. I can blow this thing off with compressed air and it folds up neatly into a small form factor and I can store it in my house. I wouldn't dare try that with a gas powered mower. This thing fits neatly against the wall by my back door and is extremely easy to unfold when I need to mow. 1 side lever and 2 clamps to extend the handlebar and I'm off. I don't have an outdoor shed to store tools in so... this was a big thing for me.2) Quiet. This thing is pretty damn quiet, it just sounds like a fan on wheels. I'm not worried about pissing off the neighbors when I mow later in the evenings to escape the heat and it's just nice to be able to hear myself think while I'm using it.3) Ability to mow at normal pace. This is the one I was concerned about. I didn't get a self-propelled option (I'm not that bougie) but I've had to put off mowing longer than I like (I try to mow weekly) and even in dense tall grass I have no issues powering right through it. The mower has an internal mode where it senses the blade speed reducing and kicks in a high-current mode until you get through the tough stuff. I can hear and feel it power-up. It's nice that it automatically goes back down in output to minimize battery consumption.4) longevity. What's the point in having a battery powered mower if I have to recharge it after every single pass, right? I opted for the 7.5 Ah battery to mitigate the changeover from gas and I am not missing the extra mess, noise, or smell over this thing. I had some issues with the battery but I'll discuss that more later in the "cons" but TL;DR Ego customer service warrantied it and I had a new one within a week so that's a HUGE plus for me, that they stand behind their product. I have a 1/3 acre lawn and I can get through it with power to spare on the 7.5Ah battery. I'm not mowing super thick southern grass like I did in Charleston (centipede etc...) and I mow weekly but so far I'm not missing gas at all in this regard.Things that I've observed since I've owned it that I would change if I had my druthers but really aren't cons so to speak.1) The blade material is kind of soft. This thing is by no means a commercial grade product and you need to pick up things in your yard before mowing. I have a tree in the back yard and I've missed the occasional twig here and there. The blades become dinged pretty easily but I can file them right back out with no issues.2) I have mixed feelings about the deck design. On one hand it sheds grass very easily, I don't have to clean it, even if it clumps a bit when it's damp/dewy outside. I like that it's plastic and it seems to hold up MUCH better than the blades do. I am not worried about it rusting away or requiring replacement at all. but the con here is the single-handle deck height system. The whole mower is light, maybe 60-75% of the weight is just in the battery alone. It's super easy to push and navigate.3) Single-point deck height adjustment... The deck height adjust, while convenient, places the front wheels so far in front of the mower I can't really get that close to what I'm mowing. The sides end right by the blade and I can get up close there but not at all in the front. I'd rather have to individually adjust each wheel's height and gain some coverage at the front. I don't change deck height all that often. I've got a nice DeWalt string trimmer so I'm covered in this regard but still, I'd change it if I could.4) battery charge time. So the set I bought came with the fast charger. True to promise It charges the 7.5Ah battery in under an hour. It's a little noisy but not a deal breaker for me. My DeWalt fast charger is just as loud and I appreciate that it has a fan to cool the battery while it charges.Customer Support/issues. The only problem I've had so far is, right out of the box, the battery wouldn't fully charge to all 5 bars. I didn't think much of it as the first couple of weeks I had no issue mowing my yard with plenty of juice left over. by the end of the third week I couldn't even do half and I was a little irritated but when I got online to file a warranty claim, I was directed to a phone number. Much to my surprise I was able to get my battery covered very easily, Ego sent a new one through UPS and I had it within a few days, they didn't ask me to return the old one so now I have a spare-ish that'll last for a little bit at least. The new 7.5Ah battery is fantastic and it's clear the first one had a dead bank or some other internal issue.

I recently upgraded from a 16" cut mower with a 40w battery to the Ego Power+ LM2114, and the difference is night and day. This 21" cut, 56w 6.0Ah powerhouse makes mowing effortless. My previous mower barely made it through the front yard most of the time, but this one handles both the front and back with a single charge—no problem at all!The cut quality is exceptional, leaving a clean, professional-looking finish. Whether you prefer mulching, side discharge, or bagging, this mower gives you the flexibility to keep your yard looking exactly how you want it.Beyond its performance, one of the standout features is how quiet it is. Compared to gas mowers, the LM2114 runs smoothly with minimal noise, making yard work much more pleasant. Plus, for the quality and power you’re getting, it’s a great value for the money.If you're on the fence about switching to an electric mower, I highly recommend this one. It has exceeded my expectations in every way!
