EGO - IT'S THE TESLA OF LAWNMOWERS - EGO 21" Select Cut Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Review 

I love mowing so much I moved to an apartment.

One of the things I really like about my EGO mower is how quiet it is compared to gas. It doesn't disturb anyone if I mow later in the evening.

I usually don't comment on videos, but you were very professional and to the point. The demonstrations are nice too. Keep it up!

Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ru-vid.comUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

Your review is the BEST I've come across. Very thorough and to the point! Good job!

I purchased one prior to your review. Your video was the best one I watched. Great action shots, especially cutting in deep grass. Good Job!

Just purchased a new home and believe this mower will be perfect.Thank you for the thorough review. ; )

I started out with this 2nd gen mower and it's been great. Last summer I upgraded to the dual battery mower with two 7.5 Ah batts. Now I can mow the entire yard. It goes even faster when I can get my kids to use the single battery mower (5 Ah) in the back while I'm doing the front yard.

Today I pulled the plug and purchased my first EGO! I love it and thanks for your video clip that breaks it down for the newbie!

I love my ego string trimmer and blower!! One of the best choices I've made when it comes to the yard!

I just bought one yesterday with a 7.5 amp battery and 21" cut width, self propelled and Lowes had it on sale for $100 off. It was the easiest and quietest lawn mow I have ever experienced. I will NEVER go back to using a gas mower, especially the ones with the worthless plastic carburetors. Wish I had switched a few years ago.

You covered all the important details very well. Thanks for a great demo.

I have the same original mower. It's been just over 5 years now & still going strong. Would love to upgrade to this one some day.

Thank you for this review! I was waiting for it ... now I can go and purchase with no hesitation 👍🏻

I found a basket case mower that I put together from parts and I realized that it made me happy every time I mow (six years and counting). Self-propel is not necessary if you have a small lawn but ball bearing wheels is a must. Quiet design is also necessary. The Ego is a great choice if you are not mechanically inclined but I recommend not collapsing the handle often to save the wires from shorting out.

Great review, thank you for taking the time and the effort.

I agree. I have the Ego and would never go back to gasoline. Right now my neighbor is mowing his lawn with my mower. I’ll bet he ends up buying one, or maybe I’ll just buy one for him. Cheers!

Your review is about #25 of what I have watched today. It started with looking for string trimmers with telescoping shaft, but I also need a mower that I can use. I'm a 68 year old, 5'2" grandma with a bad back. But often my husband has other attachments on his John Deere mowing tractor, so the lawn has to wait. That's a nope for me. So, I want my own. All of our other products are DeWalt brand and didn't want to leave. I have an awesome 10" chainsaw, that fits me perfectly but can go through a 7" tree trunk like butter. Your review is great. The adjustable handle is perfect for me. I can see that this will be probably the easiest on my back. Thank you! Now if I could just find a robust string trimmer that is my height!

I have exactly your old model, except with the self-propelled option. Got it 5 years ago. I couldn't agree more with you. Trouble free, and it's a BEAST! I am so NOT gentle with that thing. Abusive, even. And it just works.

I’ve watched a couple other reviews on this mower and after yours I’m sold. I’ve never owned a mower but am excited to do my yard myself. It’ll pay for itself in one or two seasons. I have St. Augustine that’s been neglected and I’ve learned the best thing you can do for it is mow it high and often. Thanks for the nice review. 🌿

I just bought this excited to use it, great review thanks for content!!!

Great review, decided to purchase this product from a local Ace Hardware store today, thanks for a great review!

I bought a new EGO mower last month, easily the best mower I’ve ever had.

Thank you for your Ego mower review and comparison. I greatly appreciate the conciseness, directness and precision of your presentation. No fluff, no drama, bo bull. I thought I had found a home, lawn, and garden channel to meet one of my sets of needs. So I joined your channel. I was surprised and shocked to discover that the bulk of your reviews are centered around automobiles. I am disappointed that your focus is not for the home owner but for automobile enthusiasts. Unfortunately I am a closet automobile enthusiasts. I can only dream about the vehicles you evaluate. So now you give me another no-bull channel to prevent me from doing my HOME work. Thank you, I think.

Great review! That’s gonna be my next mower pretty soon, can’t wait to switch from gas to electric!

I just purchased my new EGO and used it a couple of days ago. Great cut and my yard looked better then my old gas push mower.

I have the snowblower which I like a lot. even here in Minnesota, we didn't get enough snow last winter to really test it. it'll blow 8-9 inches easy and throws it 30 feet. easily clears a 2 lane driveway and back patio with half the charge. can't wait to get the mower now. thanks for the review!

Congratulations for 6 years on your first EGO Lawnmower. 👏

wow mate , very much appreciated your review , you sealed my purchase !

I retired my old Troy built lawnmower last year and bought an EGO self propelled lawn mower. This thing is absolutely fantastic . It has an excellent performance and is very reliable. The battery charge last over an hour.

I really like that the battery works on all their other products.

Thanks for the thorough review! I bought the snowblower first (SNT2114) and we absolutely LOVE IT! It's a beast and came with two 7.5amp batteries and a fast charger, which is more than enough power to clear our one-car-wide driveway a few times before needing to charge. Just bought the LM2130SP (without battery or charger), since we can use the two which came with our snowblower, and although I haven't used it yet, it's a beauty. I'm very impressed with the build quality and features. Can't wait to use it in a few days! Thanks again for making this video!

Ended up here because I’m looking to buy my first ever lawnmower and this brand and model s at the top of the list. Thank you. 😊

Great video. Very informative. I'll be looking for more videos. Thanks ☺️

What I found to be the most impressive thing about these mowers is the fact that the mower is light enough that it will actually propel itself without have to really push it. This has been very important with my bad back. If we hadn't moved to a yard that is smaller this year, I was going to purchase the zero turn rider.

I love mine, had it for two years, I have about 2/3 of an acre and can mow front and back yard in a single charge. It’s so light too, there’s no need to get the self propelled.

I have been using Toro self pacers for around 20 years, The first on lasted for 11 years, I bought the second one it last maybe 7 or so years and the latest one that the transmission broke yesterday after 3 years or so . They seem to be building them with cheaper material and the engines seem to be getting smaller and smaller. However, I love the concept of using electrical power and going green However, Like you, I detest mowing yards and I grow whatever nature allows. I was wondering about cutting thick grass and high weeds, but your demonstration of mowing through tall weeds is a key selling point! Thank you for your time and effort in posting your experience and knowledge.

I have the old one (non-self propelled) for about five years now. Today I had difficulty and started to bog down. Naturally (husbands) started complaining that’s it’s getting old. I convinced my finance committee (wife) that the new one has better technology. She agreed to get the latest self propelled model. But in reality I think it was my dull blade, aging battery, and wet grass that did it. Not the unit itself which will probably last more years. Regardless, I can benefit from the self propulsion and more torque motor anyway. We have two Tesla vehicles so I can relate to what you said. I needed the comparison between the old and new models so I’m glad I found this video. Needless to say I’m heading to Lowe’s tomorrow.

Nice review , my wife bought me the mower 5 years ago this coming summer , same battery , I love the products so much that , just like you , I bought the power head string trimmer , hand held hedger, the pole saw attachment , my wife just bought me the 650 blower last year , and I took the plunge and bought the two stage snow blower , and I just bought the nexus power station , I guess you can say that I have an Ego ☺️☺️👍 , thanks for the great review

Great review if I had a yard to mow I would get one

Your old mower looks great. My Ego from 5-6 years ago is faded with bird poop all over it. But it always works, no matter what.

Nice job bro to the point no fluff. Thanks

I don’t like mowing the lawn but when I bought the ego mower in the fall of 2018 it’s made it bearable. It’s fun too to see if I can get it done before the battery dies. No more noisy mower!! I love my ego mower.

Great video. I'm about to buy one of these. Thanks!

6.5 years on my first gen Ego and it still works great. Battery is just starting to show its age. I modified the handle so I could set it to a shorter position.

Nice review, trying to decide between this and Milwaukee. Your video was helpful.

Great video Brian, it made me go out and buy my first electric lawn mower. Although I didn’t buy the EGO lawn mower I went with green works from Costco as it came with a blower and another battery combo. Used it a few times already and I am loving it.

We are in the same boat (finger eye thingy). I absolutely hate yard work and only do it because I have to. I have yet to buy an electric mower. Great video! Dude, you have a LOT of weeds! 😜

Great, straightforward everyday review. Thank you for your time. Just bought the EGO 530 CFM blower and am convinced that battery is the way to go. So easy and convenient. No fuss at start up, fueling, fumes and unnecessary noise from gas powered. . Looking towards changing my gas mower and trimmer to EGO.

Great review... I have the Ego blower, trimmer, mower and recently picked up the self propeller kick ass snow blower that I haven't had a chance to use. I will never go back to gas units. Can I suggest that you treat your lawn. Lots of weed out there 😊😵😆

I felt the same as you ! Until I purchased a zero turn mower, now I enjoy cutting the lawn weekly.

The snow blower has enough torque to toss (not throw) heavy slush which is almost unheard of. It only moves a foot or so, but that's still less back pain with a couple passes.

I just got one and it is amazingly simple and powerful

Agree Ego is thumbs up from our experience........ my wife and I bought an Ego self propelled mower 2 years ago when we moved and bought a house..... I had an Ego blower all ready so we decided to stay with the Ego battery system..... if needed I can run the mower or blower on either batteries..... have to say we are happy with it..... quiet, no worries about gas and tune ups, mow, mulch, easy to adjust the height, self-propel works great mowing or as you say just moving it back to the garage or shed, can be stored up on it's rear..... no issues with it .. I want it to last so we don't abuse it, no issues with battery life so far.... my advice is to sharpen the blade when needed..... my wife isn't afraid to use it either.... I'd say to check this brand out for sure

Nice review! My Black and Decker lead battery non-propelled mower is on borrowed time now. 😜

I have the LM2102 and have not had any issues so far with also a 21" blade. I really like our model better, but can't wait to see what is next in the future!... Things will always get better and this works for me regardless, so I am happy with the 7.5 ah battery! (60 minutes charging/run time)

I have the 2nd gen LM2135SP, to be honest, it is overkill, but I'm happy with it. Ace Hardware had it on sale for $600 with the 5 aH battery + quick charger. I put the high lift blade on it, and haven't looked back. Pretty nice imho! :)

I was the last person my family and relatives ever thought would buy an battery powered lawnmower. I am incredibly impressed with it and really never realized how loud a gas lawnmower really is until owning the Ego. Lawnmower Weed eater Blower Chainsaw

Good info, I also now want the snow blower. no more gas and iol.

I have the 1st generation EGO, and I still love it. As much as this new generation is, though, I won’t upgrade until my present EGO dies so it may be for a very long time until I buy a new one. The one thing I’d like to know is the new generation more quiet than the 1st generation? Besides the maintenance free aspects of EGO and no gasoline fumes, I love how much more quiet it is compared to gasoline mowers.

I am looking to buy the new mower anyways. Same deal. I have the old one. The information here would have gotten me to buy the new mower before the trimmer I bought but... thank you!

I own the first generation and I love it! But I may have to buy the new after this video. 🤔👍🏾

Thanks for this video. It helped me to make a decision.

Great review!

I'm on the 7th summer now with all my EGO equipment. I have that same original mower, the trimmer, leaf blower and hedge trimmer. One 5a battery from the mower and two 2.5a batteries. The hedge trimmer I got alone, no battery. All of that is 7 years old now and still runs like the first day. My mow time is the same (no battery degradation). I haven't even sharpened my blade. They're literally the best things I've purchased for my house.

I've been using the same gas powered B&S 20" cut push mower to do my trim work for the last 22 years, but then I enjoy doing the maintenance work on a mower. I bought a battery powered mower (Poulan Pro 58 volt) 2 seasons ago and while I have no complaints at all about it's power or run time the main complaint I have is that it simply won't get into areas I can get the smaller framed old gas push mower into for doing my trimming. I don't use weed eaters and do all my trimming with the push mower. Looking at that ego it's frame looks comparable in size to the Poulan I have which is just too big. The wheels are way in front of and behind the blades instead of being parallel with the front and back sweep of the blade on a small gas push mower so I guess I'll be sticking with a gas push mower for the foreseeable future. After 22 years my old Briggs still runs fine but the deck is shot, the holes for the wheels are wallowed out, etc. The rest of the lawn I mow with a riding mower as it's about 1.5 acres and that mower is 12 years old and still going strong. If I had a small city lawn with little to trim around besides the house and a couple of trees I think that ego would be just fine though.

I liked your review... covered most everything... I to was tired of taking the gas mower in each year for carb fix, despite running it out at the end of the season with conditioner. I purchased the "newer" model last spring and it has performed well. I have a side lot and it will cut all in one charge, unless, it is wet and long. I recommend it. I only mulch... go to a golf course... pristine. 1000's of acres, probably better than your lawn.. they don't bag, but mulch (cept for the greens)... mulch returns food for the lawn. I use the #4 setting, contrary to the video.. grass likes to shade itself, healthier... but then requires slightly more often cutting. But here's the rub. I had an issue that the self propelled portion "seemed" to stop working. I took out the battery... replaced, no change.. charged no change... I finished cutting by pushing, not an issue. I called the service center...after about an hour of tries, used the call back feature, i talked to a "service person". His first question was do you want to receive promotional information?... I want my mower fixed... NO. "Would you like to take a short survey and extent the battery warranty"?... no, but ok... And I did. Once again I described the problem. He the then had to check for Service and went away for 5 minutes. "We have no service center near you"... Huh? I live in the Detroit area, home of many battery powered vehicles. His solution: "We will send you a new mower". Hard to argue about that! Still WTF? [he did not ask the right question or...solution woulda been found] I had registered my warranty... what if I had not? The "old" mower still works... and maybe I have found the problem... I purchased it based on Consumer Reports rating... they were correct. So... recommend purchase, check for local service, register machine, and battery warranty. Received new mower today. Still in Box

Thank you for the video I got the weedeater and blower and 5 amp hour and 2.5 amp hour I'm getting a mower now from them soon and all my stuff I registered and I was surprised at how easy the website was on my phone to register took me probably 20 minutes and registered everything

I’ve had my Kobalt 80v lawn mower for 5yrs and will NEVER go back to gasoline 👍🏽👍🏽

Great video thanks! No sponsorship bias 👍🏻

Great video dude.

Not just the mower, I have all of their power tools, what a relief to prune tall hedges and use the fibercarbon shaft trimmer, or the 650cu-ft/min blower. Also having two rapid chargers makes mowing my 1 acre lawn when the Kubota is broken. So nice to do driveway edge trimming without inhaling carcinogens, this is the one activity where the exhaust used to be right at shoulder level, goodbye Stihl.

Actually, I have a new EGO mower, and my back yard is a jungle. So far, I've had a branch pull the green plastic viewing port off of the battery cover, had a vine tie onto the height adjustment lever and change the deck height without my knowledge, and also had a handle extension locking clip pull loose. These events are in the first two weeks of using the mower. I've also noticed that the EGO has not just less but SIGNIFICANTLY less blade torque than my previous gas mower. With the gas mower, anything you could get under the deck was mulch - no stalling or stopping. The EGO has a tendency to overload, trip its breaker, and you have to back out and then restart the mower. I also noticed when I was shopping that the cheapest EGO mower has the SAME blade torque as they're most expensive. So although you get bigger batteries as you move up the EGO mower line, you do NOT get any more powerful blade motor. Now having said all the above, I'm still pleased with my EGO mower (my first electric). After a winter with no mowing, I don't have to clean the carburetor, and the mower just starts. I also don't have to replace the engine air filter often in dusty conditions. And finally, I don't have to change the crank oil. So I wouldn't go back to gas despite the minor shortcomings of the EGO. My last beef with the Ego is that the grass bag is HUGE. I'm 6-foot two with good upper body strength and it's a challenge for me to empty that huge, heavy grass bag. So much so that I don't plan to bag anymore - just mulch. My two cents.

I LOVE yardwork lol. I hated the gas fill routine though. So I went all electric. My mower is an EGO. Oldest model and it still holds up well. I own at least 2 batteries for the tools so one is always charging. This may sound expensive and perhaps a hassle, but I'm not filling gas cans, changing oil, and dripping that stuff on rags any more. Electric isn't perfect, but it's giving gas tools a run for it's money I think.

I have the 2nd gen Ego 21in mower and it's been pretty good for me. Only thing I don't like is how the bag pops out when I go over some rough spots. I have a huge pecan tree in the front yard so it's always bumpy. Thankfully I don't bag as much, but it's still annoying when I do lol

Thank you for being so technically detailed in your review.

I've had mine for 3 years now and never had problems. I recently moved and my new place that has a larger yard. Using the self propelled feature most of the time I'd go through one charged battery and needed to use an extra battery I have. I found that if you run the mower for a long time it has a safety cut off. I would start mowing and it would just shut down as soon as you started cutting grass. From what I could find out online this was normal due to the motor overheating. I found that letting it cool down for about 15 mins it was good to go again. I also have the blower. It failed to work after the first year. Customer service sent me a new unit (free) with no problem. Just have the serial numbers readily available when you call them. Just purchased the hedge clippers. Haven't used them yet, but I am sure they'll be great.

Great review 👍. I'm in a love-hate relationship with the brushless steel deck Ego. I may sell it and buy the select cut.

My problem is that it takes about 90 mins to mow, the battery was never enough and to have to mow on two different days is not going to work. I have also had issues with it not being able to cut deep grass (fire break on hill, not normal mowing) - For these reasons, I've gone back to petrol.

Thank you!! Great video!! 🤩

I love mine, best mower I've ever had. My only wish would be for it to go just a little lower. My Honda went almost to the ground, and I like a super short cut.

Good video. Thinking of one for my yard. My wife helps me mow, me on rider and her as trim mower. I like the no maintenance of changing oil and gas free and folds up when not in use. I have an Ego blower and just bought an Ego trimmer, i assume they will all take same battery so they are all interchangeable.

Just got the new ego brushless multiblade mower and I think the biggest con is how it takes a little time to get up to speed in self propelled mode. I wish there was an option to disable that, and go straight to desired speed on the press of the button... but I think it's a tradeoff of going brushless. My brushless hand drill does the same thing, takes a little time to get up to speed. Otherwise I love it.

Plaid on Plaid A real OG. Good review, too ;)

Thinking of this for the self propelled feature

Great review

I don't have this Ego 21 inch I have a different one the battery goes strait down but it works just as good. It works better then all of the gas mowers I have had. beats the crap out of the tough weeds I have on my lawn. I spent almost 700 on the Ego plus two craftsman batteries for my weed wacker. I still have more lawn to do though.

i have the previous model that i bought about 4-5 yrs ago... the replacement batteries are a bit steep... but love the mower...i got the tirmmer and blower also. cannot recommend them enough.. although spend a bit more and get the advanced loading head... i wish i did.. it is on its 2nd blade and is due for a new one. I bought a replacement 7.5 battery that was off brand and it works great also. Never going back to gas mower again.

I paid +$200.00 for a Worx 40v 8 amp double battery. It cuts the best I have ever seen and is great for picking up fall leaves and bagging them.

The clips on mine went too. I just wrapped tape around them since I had no need to ever unclip them.

Someone's lying. It seems to me you LOVE yard work! :-)

Loved the video. Will definitely switch to Ego

love the battery surviving, unit "I'm Alive"

I've had major issues with the latest generation batteries with the T after the model name. The fuel gauge ones. It's well known that lots of them are failing, in Australia. I donated my trimmer with a 2.5Ah battery to a local community garden project and sold my chainsaw to a nice guy that has the more reliable previous gen batteries.I plan to sell my mower too. EGO has not been very helpful in Australia. I've never had issues with other branded batteries. PS: I sold my equipment with the previous generation batteries - as they are more reliable. I couldn't sell my equipment in good faith with the current gen batteries...

Guys Ego is better than everything else. I know from personal experience. Great for my retired dad and easier all around for him to also use and transport and store

This will be the 7th summer for my 21" self propelled EGO. I will NEVER buy another brand. I've tried two other brands. The first one, a 19" Black and Decker battery mower, purchased in 2003. It did ok but took overnight to charge, ugh! And had no self propel. In four years, it would not finish the whole yard before dying, even after I had the batteries replaced. Off to auction it went. Then, right before I bought my EGO, I tried a Greenworks battery mower; pitiful. Returned it, went to HomeDepot and bought my EGO. It's been an awesome mower ever since. I will get another one when this one dies. I'm loving the new features noted in this video! The battery charges in real time, too, which is soooo helpful. 15 min of charge time gets you 15 min of mow time; no more overnight charging, yay!!!

I started with their snow blower. Now looking at mowers. My toro timemaster is toooooooo heavy for me.

I have the original Ego 20-inch deck with brushed motor. Does the brushless have more power? I have issues getting through my St. Augustine at 3" or below in summer. And my yard is large, so I have to keep getting the blade sharpened.

Bought the top of the line ego 1.5 yrs ago, worked well for awhile then had to charge in middle of mowing to recharge they are in the battery selling business word of caution check the price on their batteries. Now back to a gas mower much better cut and no stopping to recharge.

Hello there! I live in Hungary and just found your video and you convinced me. Here only HONDA sells the EGO equipment. I just ordered it so i am really exicted to see if this is soo good :D
