BEST LAWN Mower. EGO vs TORO. Battery Operated Lawn Mowers better than gas? 

The snow blowers are my favorite. I prefer them over gas. 😌

I have owned a Toro gas for 23 years. I am trying to decide between the Ego and Toro battery systems.

💯

Glad it was helpful!

Right on!

I forgot to mention he has the snowblower as well. It works great! Throws snow 30 feet!

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome!

Right on!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!

right on! its on the list for sure! I've heard the rumors. Thanks for dropping a comment brother. appreciate it.

Love the feedback

Dudes allergic to a gas mower? You’re just a liar

I've been getting about 10k ft2 on the battery I have. Still believe it's awesome 👌 Thanks for sharing

I miss the cut 😔 but don't miss the fumes and noise

👊🏻

Great points. The high lift blade is a game changer

The 60v Super Recycler bags far better than either of these units

Could be

Love it!

I hear it’s a great mower

No!!! It’s on the list!

Nice! I'll have to check it out

Your comment is spot on. Batteries are expensive is the answer to why their expensive. I hope there are MUCH better options in the future. Right now their so-so at best.

@@patricksquires77 Ya, I don't see a reason to go battery on a mower over gas. Perhaps on trimmers and edgers? But I could argue both ways for those items too. My Dad, and Sister have Ego trimmers and blowers. The Ego Trimmer is the most uncomfortable piece of equipment I have ever used. For me it isn't ergonomic, and my hand cramps badly compared to my Shindaiwa, Echo, and Stihl trimmers. Battery blowers have a LONG way to go before I would consider those. The batteries on the Ego don't seem to hold up beyond the 3 year mark either. My sister loves her Ego stuff, compared to gas (she borrowed my Echo stuff for a couple of seasons) but has had to regularly replace the batteries and NEVER has enough juice to Edge, Trim, and use the blower for clean up on a single charge. But she didn't like starting gas machines, or pouring gas into their tanks. Each to their own I suppose?

Great thought process. The egos been great. Just wish the cut quality was a little bit better on the low end. I’ve heard the rumors with the m18 but haven’t had the pleasure of using it. It’s on the list

Hmmm no maintenance besides sharpening a blade and charging a battery vs gas station trip not much time as we have cars air filters oil mix if you stock up when you do go and never a tuneup needed or having to pull a freaking cord I don’t care who’s the best I went with ego after a client made me use his ego equipment and paid me more to do so this was 6 years ago before I got tired of property landscape maintenance after 33 years truly was like a breath of fresh air apparently the noise and fumes and shop visits is what I didn’t like about gas power but at the time had to make a living and couldn’t wait but those days are behind and I don’t mind one bit 👍👍😁 and in the long run I do believe it to be cheaper if your up on how to store and maintain your batteries properly

@@jonathanbuford1793 I am an engineer. I have built electric cars, I built a world record holding long distance competition electric car, I have owned electric cars. I love love love my Milwaukee battery yard tools BTW. I have calculated energy in Joules, Watts, BTUs weekly for 30 years. I know most of the benefits and cons for each commercially available battery type. There are MANY positives with battery equipment and some big negatives that are quite challenging as well. None of this has any affect mostly for the trash opinion of mine for electric mowers. I would love to have a great one - there is NO great battery mowers. The biggest downside to ‘THESE’ mower and almost every consumer electric mower - is their trash. Their junk - their batteries are junk - their controls are abysmal, tires, deck, handles, their trash, their power is worse yet. Every part of them is junk. Expensive too honestly but not really where my issue is.

frustrating

Hard to find. The single blade ego offers is there eco option. Has a small lift on the blade but cuts terribly 😆 I tried finding something as you mentioned and was unable to. Ultimately I agree it's a good idea when possible. It wasn't easy finding the blade I did for the Toro.

Makes sense

So are you saying the batteries don't last?

From what I remember yes

No they don't!!

Not yet! It’s in the list

Love it!

😹

Awesome 👌

It’s a thing for sure

🤣🤣🤣 Best part is I'm not a huge fan of battery power, yet the hord still attacks

Yeah!

🤣 Why so sad?

@@pestandlawnginja it’s not so bad but I’m trying to upgrade to an ego

Cool

I dig it

@@pestandlawnginjaI myself own an ego 21 " mower there are alot of good uses for a electric mower trimming regular mowing night time mowing as with the ego having lights on it , my go to is the honda very loud it micro mulches so does the ego , ego is not a wet grass mower honda is . I like both , purchased the honda with my military discount . both mowers are great cant compain

No. Not completely

No. It was after 😃

@@pestandlawnginja whoa!

@@sarinhighwind rye grows and thickens rediculously fast.

@@pestandlawnginja Yeah, I got Zoysia... it dont do that. I got some soil fussiness tho. Doesn't wanna release, so gonna hit it harder in spring. Working on getting rid of some goose grass or dallas grass right nwo though, ugggggh. =*(

@@sarinhighwind for the fungal issues check your iron levels. When Iron is low or depleted fungus thrives

@@robbiegolding1831 thanks for sharing

😆

There’s a couple out there that are decent.

Awesome

Right on!

Lol...nope, battery mowers are solid and getting a lot better

@@johnbiggins2105 yup I bought the first ego electric mower in 2017 before any electric mowers were in the market. I paid $450 with 2 batteries 5.0ah and after 7 years I absolutely had zero issues. I have half an acre and it takes me about 45 minutes to cut my front and backyard in 1 in half battery.

Thanks for sharing!

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

You're not very bright fomas. I just purchased a toro 60v stripe battery mower, I have a 3rd of an acre. It cuts solid and crisp. Do your homework and open minded

ExxonMobilsimpsezwut? 😂

@@SpartansTurf Hard to answer for ‘just THESE’ when you bring up allot of unrelated. Honestly I think you jumped to conclusion on my views based on my crassy @// comment - I forgive you. SolarPUNK Steve says his setup IS an experiment - he has made no claim yet that it works - just that he wanted to try and work on it. Steve says this in his vids by the way. Regarding the solar trailer - Between the onboard battery and his trailer being benefitted by being in Florida sun - he has a equivalent of a few gallons of gas in raw power stored and generated on a sunny day. I don’t have anything negative to say - it is all of the best available consumer equipment and well wired and well done and EG4 is some of the best. I think he watches Will Prowse yt channel just my looking at his awesome setup. Stanley has yet to claim you can make as much money with an electric mower either I believe - (outside of upselling on green/noise level). I am an engineer. I have built electric cars, I built a world record holding long distance competition electric car, I have owned electric cars. I love love love my Milwaukee battery yard tools BTW. I have calculated energy in Joules, Watts, BTUs weekly for 30 years. I know most of the benefits and cons for each commercially available battery type.

The m18 is looking promising

Meh
