I bought the Speed IQ based on your first video (when your lawn was still frozen) and I have had 0.0 regrets and actually have the reverse opinion from you... this unit is FUN. The thing is it took me a few weeks to get used to it. If you treat it like a normal self-propel mower, then yes it is jerky, it's hard to navigate. What I noticed about your "mowing technique" is you are not letting the mower take control of the self-propel; instead you are treating it as though it is a conventional propel. You control the Speed IQ with your pace. If you stop, the mower will stop. If you pick up the pace, the mower will follow right along with you. Now, you have one of the bumpiest lawns that I have ever seen and maybe that creates a problem with maintaining a steady pace. I am still thankful for your earlier video that really prompted me to get this. I LOVE this mower... and I enjoy your videos. Thanks.

None of the new 2024 EGO models have Speed IQ. Even they recognized it was a terrible gimmick.

@rwplm Год назад

This is the video I have been waiting for. I really wanted to get the highest end model, but I really questioned the speed IQ. I wasn't going to buy anything until I saw the reviews first. You have pretty much answered every question I had and then some. Thank you for this video, 10 out of 10 😁

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

I will say this if you don’t use self propel, you’re gonna love the mower. Thanks for your comment. And thanks for watching. I appreciate that.

@Joe-eg7ml Год назад

@MJHiteshew Год назад

A month ago I was debating between buying the 2156 or 2167. Went with the 2156 and so glad I did. Sometimes tech meant to make things easier backfires.

@StvRob76 Год назад

Same here as well just about a month ago and so glad I stayed with my gut feeling

@soundretarded Год назад

Thank you! Your vids helped me prepare my battery operated Ego journey. I went with the 2167 and I felt what you where saying about the jerks but it is spot on and adjusts to your terrain. I really like it. Just takes getting used to. The screen is very nice. The best lawn mower I ever operated. The mulching is amazing! I was gonna buy one of the previous models & I was sold on that screen & Speed IQ. Thx again😋

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Enjoy thanks for your support

@charlievansant Год назад

Bought my 2167 a few weeks ago. My first EGO. Almost took it back today based on this video (and then thought about the hassle that would be 😂) But I mowed this afternoon and yes, there’s some frustrating parts of this mower, but I really do love it. There are times when I turn off the self propelled around tighter areas; just like I wished my Toro Personal Pace would’ve done easier. Biggest beef so far is if I don’t have Turbo on, I still get mohawking and some stragglers. And yes I took it to ace to get sharpened at the advice of this channel, but still didn’t change it much. Love this channel! Love the honesty! Keep up the great work!

@joncastro9240 Год назад

I have the speed iq and I’ve been mowing with it twice a week for about a two month. I definitely understand that jerkiness was annoying at first but it was a slight learning curve and once you get use to using it and understanding how hard to push and when to push it actually began to work extremely well. So all I can say it’s 100 percent worth it for the 1 in cut, a 12 amp battery and the turbo button. Just expect to have a learning curve for a couple mows then you’ll be fine.

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

@RADERFPV Год назад

Just bought this mower today. First impressions? Best mower I've ever used in my life. Speed IQ works amazing well for me, I had no issues with it right from the start. We just moved into a 1 acre property that hasn't been maintained in months, a mix of dormant and green lawn towering about 3' tall. It sliced through it like nothing, with 55% battery remaining after mowing 1/2 acre. I almost bought the 2156sp, glad I spent the little extra for this one. The display is nice too, but it's the speed IQ that I really like.

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

@Sylvan_dB Год назад

Great review, thanks! appreciate putting that comparison table together. 2150/2156 seems like the sweet spot (more torque, huh, huh, huh) without the machine trying to guess how fast I want to go.

@carlasimmons5546 11 месяцев назад

@TechMadeEzy 11 месяцев назад

@JoshN614 Год назад

Thanks for the honest review with actual criticisms. One suggestion - I think it’d be helpful in comparisons to also include the tool only (no battery) price for those of us already in the Ego ecosystem. Hearing some of the drawbacks of the new self-propel, I’m very happy I grabbed a 2150 on sale for $450!

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Thanks for the feedback and $450 was a good deal! enjoy

@DG-mo5kr Год назад

I just bought the mower with Speed IQ. I do agree it is a little jerky. I do like everything else about the mower. I’m impressed with the power and battery life compared with a gas Toro mower. I can live with the Speed IQ and mower also. I like how the mower folds up and can stick in the corner of my garage. Cheers!

@07DWJ Год назад

I actually love the 2167. I feel it is a huge upgrade from the 2135. The mower feels much more substantial but is still easy to push if I choose not to use self propel. I love the gauge cluster and the ability to select the engine motor speed, turn self propel on or off, etc. There is a learning curve to Speed IQ but have learned to love it. The cut quality is noticeably improved over the 2135. There is less vibration in the mower. It is more isolated from bumps in the yard. The noise from the self propelled mechanism is less prominent thus less annoying. (Don’t like the sound of Ego’s self propelled system) Feels like I transitioned from a Toyota to a Lexus.

@GA08GT478 Год назад

I appreciate the fact that EGO is constantly innovating, but for the money I feel like my 2156 fits my needs. Thanks again AL for your thorough reviews.

@ecp4500 Год назад

I got the new Makita XGT 40v max 19-inch commercial lawn mower. Loved to see you do a comparison. In Australia, we get quad swing-back blades by default 😄. I use two 8ah 40v max (nominal 36v) for 16 ah's (never ran out of charge yet). Only need 1 battery to run but auto switches batteries when 1 dies. A lot more torque too. Cuts higher and lower. it's like the power of Milwaukee meets EGO efficiency with Makita's build quality/ergonomics. I still enjoy seeing what Ego has to offer and great unbiased reviews as usual 'TME'

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Thank you

@Tizweed Год назад

Thank you for your detailed review. I purchased the LM2167sp from Lowes, and am returning today after 3 mows and will be getting the LM2156sp instead. I will miss the digital readout and lack of exposed wire, but I, too, experienced the same "jerkiness" that you did, even to the point that I thought the unit might be defective. Your review cemented my decision to return. I love the Ego ecosystem and have their newest PowerHead with 16" weedeater and Edger, as well as the 650 CFM Blower and Hedge Trimmer. Speed IQ is just not ready for prime time.

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Glad it helped, yeah I was soo excited myself and like I said love the display, turbo, handle upgrades. Best of luck Eric

@fyrnice25 11 месяцев назад

I hardly use self propelled due to its light weight. The turbo feature and digital display outweighs the learning curve for smart IQ drive. Least used feature on my original EGO mower.

@ajgreen868 Год назад

After using my GreenWorks I couldn’t go without a turbo button. They need to put that on more of their mowers. Specifically with what EGO charges for these things. And I had a feeling you weren’t gonna like the speed IQ

@jensotube Год назад

This was exactly the video that I wanted to see. Thank you. I just purchased an Ego 2156SP-2. It came with two batteries. I have a bumpy lawn so the Speed IQ probably would not work very well for me. I mowed my lawn with the new mower, for the first time, yesterday. I like being able to set a constant speed. The upper speeds are way too fast for me. though. I love the 700-watt turbo charger. I can charge a battery while mowing with the other battery.

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Glad the video helped AJ, enjoy your new mower 👍🏼

@joeshobbies8755 Год назад

thank you we were going to by it its the iq one not sure which but you broke me with the speed iq. I was already suspicious of it. I had been waiting to really get a honest good review i guess its so cheap right now because its the end of the season..It's like 799 i think for the top of the. I seen a guy with a kobalt which looked really good. Im just gonna get the one maybe next year you showed with the knob. I have the ego trimmer that feeds its own self its a treasure...Thanks for the great review and honesty. The prices of these electric tools are getting insane with the brands. Im a believer in get what you pay for in most things tools uhhh its a mixed bag. EGO is the top of the top line

Glad I stuck with my decision purchasing the 2156SP and loving it so far. Having back surgery, the speed setting that allows me to move at my pace has been great however seeing how fast and jerky the 67 is..plus the cost and heavier? I would have taken it back. Thanks for the honesty. It’s a great concept but not ready. Wish the new display was on the 2156 as that would have taken it over the top!

@DesmoSD Год назад

Nice review and excellent breakdown spec comparison. I'm looking at the EGO and Greenworks from Costco. The 2167 is a nice mower but that price delta is a pretty steep compared to the 2156 and even the 2135.

@Th3Su8 Год назад

I was wandering around a local Lowes today and saw this mower is on sale till September. It is a really great price, cheaper than the other models you listed at $699. However, I think I am going to pass on it due to your video and seeing the operation of the self propelled function. Another reason I am skipping it is because all of the local stores are currently out of stock. I could drive 2 hours away and get one at another city, or I suppose have them deliver it, but I am just not that into it anymore. I think I am probably just going to wait till next year, or another sale on the 2156 model. Thank you for your honest opinion and videos on this mower.

@donaldlee6699 Год назад

Very thorough! Quite informative as always! And right on time! Bottom line ($1,000) one thousand dollars is ridiculously high for a push mower. I have several certificates and approximately (5) 5 years formal education in mechanician. I can fix anything. I just put my gas push mower back together. Forgive me for digressing. I do not like purchasing expensive gasoline; however, for that much money I can purchase a lot of gasoline! Watching you operate the self-propelled assisted me in determining I do not want self-propelled. First the speed unlike the one that is adjustable leaves too much to be desired. It sounds like the motor may be working against itself. When you stop to turn or back up the motor appears to be working against itself. The screaming whining electrical motor! My research indicates the Ego has the most amp battery for a push mower? Some of the added features notwithstanding they are expensive; however, I and many others may later think I would have paid the extra if they would have just simply left them off! Thanks for the video! Addendum: How many items, including automobiles after the warranty has expired, and now one is faced with replacing extremely expensive batteries they will look at the old piece of crap (lol) hypothetically)) and think 'I have been looking at the 2028 models, and well, 'ol buddy' you are now disposable! lol R O F L

@Juncti Год назад

For someone mechanically inclined I can understand sticking with gas, for me who sucks at mechanical work and maintenance the Ego has been a great change. For me it was my only concern and I've been using mine for 6 years now with only changing blades and refilling trimmer line in my trimmer head. So there's definitely pro's and cons to the battery lineup. If I was more mechanically inclined I'd probably still be on gas and I suspect anyone who is good at that will stick with it until these get even better and battery prices hopefulyl come down.

@BronzeLincolns81 Год назад

Guess I'll keep my old 56 Ego. It does the job and is probably more than enough for my needs and I already have a ton of batteries for it. Maybe they'll improve the functionality with later iterations? Won't help anybody who already bought one obviously. Maybe after a year or 2 and some price drops i'll pick this up bare tool just for the other features which I do like. I still want to at least try this myself somehow but sucks to see it doesn't work as well as Toro Personal Pace system. Thanks for the video.

I called EGO and they said that they would recall my mower and send me a new one. That was great, they really do stand behind their products.

Thank you for your honest review, Al. I bought the 2167 a month ago and have mowed four times. I absolutely hate the Speed IQ, however I absolutely love the 12 Ah battery, turbo speed and the gauge. I’ve learned to somewhat tame the Speed IQ by lightly holding the handle mostly from the side. For me, the advantages outweighed the very big negative. It’s unfortunate that Ego chose to put Speed IQ on what would have been a 5 star mower.

I wish EGO had a mower like this with a similar display, but with a different self propel and a turbo button that would work without having to turn the mower off.

I appreciate your honesty. Something lacking in the marketing world today. I love EGO products - love the batteries (except how $$$) - gas engines and I never have gotten along. There are many features on this new mower that are so great. Love the way EGO innovates & I feel sure they will get this mower just right in the future.

I bought one of these at Lowe’s this week, my 3rd ego mower. I got it home and wanted to try it out on a few leaves left over form fall. No grass yet as it’s just starting to get going. I had it set high and just wanted to clean up a bit. Make it 5 seconds and the mower died, indicating overload FROM A HANDFUL OF LEAVES! I tried it many more times and it just kept overloading, sometimes over nothing at all. I took it back to Lowe’s and got another, SAME EXACT THING AS THE FIRST ONE! I called ego and after holding for an hour I choose the “keep your place in line call back option”. No call back. Tried again the next day this time determined to stay on hold till I got someone, but after almost 2 hours I gave up and choose the call back option again. I finally got a call back a few hours later. They told me it was a known problem and there was nothing they could do about it, that all 2167’s were affected. I asked if they were going to fix it and they said they didn’t know. They then offered me the 2150 mower (same one as my three year old mower) and a free trimmer. So an $800 package to make up for my $1000 purchase, needless to say I passed and got my money back at Lowe’s, where the manager, upon finding out what I experienced, went and put “return to manufacturer” stickers on every one they had in stock.

@ccattrn Год назад

Probably best suited for large yards but too small for a rider. Nice stuff, but not really necessary. A lot to get a little more. Can’t hate on the 12Ah batteries…they’re beasts. I have 10.

@Juncti Год назад

The review I've been waiting on. I was getting worried with it being this late in the southern growing season when no reviews were coming out for Speed IQ. It's been noticeably silent on that front which made me think maybe the usual reviewers who maybe have some sponsorship were having issues and hence didn't release a review rather than say it's great when it's not. My fear was I'd spend more time fighting the Speed IQ than using it and it seems like that's probably reality. Wish I could find the 2156-2 in stock somewhere. Comes with 2 10AH batteries. Think I'll probably just have to go with the stock 2156 and single 10AH battery though. Same cutting torque but with older version self propel. I would have loved the fuel gauge, phone mount, and wires being inside the frame, but when I think that I'll be using this mower probably a good 6-8 years minimum I don't want to be fighting self propel, and I do have some need to use it in certain areas so just leaving it off wouldn't be a great solution. Thanks for the detailed review.

What if you went on Lowes site and made a video deciphering in a chart in video what each Ego model currently available at Lowes has to offer the customer as far as torque, battery, price , self propelled? Maybe each spring do this. I know its a pain but i know this would help so many people from the confusion that is Ego. I wish Ego would stop making every model mower look like the last in color and so on. Oh, and tell us which models have Turbo buttons lol..please

@jaybutler9797 Год назад

I was able to open one of these. It turns out the Speed IQ sensors are sitting in the green square area on each side to convert mechanical force/pressure to electric sensor (like a spring concept) Nothing in the handle. I think the angle of the user (or lawn) pressing against the handle creates this undesirable outcome of the Speed IQ

Hi Roger yup EGO actually changes what’s in the box as they move along it’s something I learned just recently so that’s awesome and that is really a solid model. I’m glad my videos helped stay in touch. Let me know how things go and I sure hope you subscribe.

Yes, they made changes months after launching the mower, they did some changes also to the Lm2135sp. I bought these when they 1st launched.

@josephpuchel6497 Год назад

Hey I’ve been checking out several brands including the one my shop was selling GreenWorks commercial. I like the 82 volt but amp hours are low. For a commercial machine they haven’t stepped up to higher amp hour batteries or upgraded the self propelled system. The self propelled systems are weak point in all these machines. That’s the first thing that should be looked at then cutting blade when purchasing. Because these machines aren’t cheap

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Yes battery mowers are expensive, look at the line up and make sure the battery is compatible with multiple tools and the tools are available.

@simplifaster8065 Год назад

My one criticism of many of the mower reviews is that few reviewers mow with the grass bag. The Milwaukee is a fantastic mower, but the grass bag has several design flaws. I would not have purchased the Milwaukee had I known about the grass bag flaws. Now, I am looking for a better mower, but few reviewers have actually used the grass bag for several months to give an informed opinion.

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

I mulch 99% of the time, feeding the lawn. I might bag if I have to cut more than I’d like to pick up clipping piles but that is rare.

I just bought the LM2167SP Select Cut XP this week at Lowes on sale @ $699.99 using a Lowes 20% off coupon (MAX DISCOUNT OF $100) my final price was $599.99/ $636. w/tax. I sold the battery and the charger to a friend as I didn't need either of them for $575. , Now I have the newest EGO mower for a whopping total final cost of $61.00 . My wife now totally approves of my purchase. I'm still not thrilled about the Speed IQ feature vs my last EGO model that used the barrel adjuster and the handle paddles. Mower lurches forward too much sometimes and the loud sounds it makes while in auto self propel mode id annoying even when using earphones.. I wish they made the on/off button for speed control a-lot bigger, as it doesn't always respond to the push. But hey I can't complain too much for a total cost of $61.00 for the mower. :) I do love the phone holder.

Different users may have different opinions. This review made me seriously question the potential value of Speed IQ. However, I noted in the video that the lawn being mowed was EXTREMELY ROUGH, which probably made constant and consistent contact with the speed IQ sensor virtually impossible and thus probably would negatively impact Speed IQ performance. Further, other reviews I have read about Speed IQ were positive. As Lowes has a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, I decided to take a chance and go with Speed IQ. So glad I did. It worked very well for me. Not quite the same as my old Toro Personal Pace, but very well and in most cases better (more consistent). I found the electric drive motor to be unintrusive. If I wasn't thanking about it, I wouldn't even notice it. I do not know how it works, but it works well in my opinion.

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

Gary thank you for sharing your opinion that's what this channel is all about. Also note my mode my front lawn multiple times and my front lawn is a pretty smooth straight on. Not a believer in speed IQ at this time but others might be fine with it.

So the all the other Ego models do not have a TURBO BUTTON ? Even my Greenworks from 4 years ago has a Turbo button

@styndall1984 Год назад

Any testing or specs provided on how fast the speed IQ can go. Previous models have a limit at 3.1mph. Any chance it was increased to match toro's personal pace system clocked at 4.5mph? Reason is in the later months of the summer when the grass growth slows down and it's dryer I do cut much faster and I really find the EGO too slow. Thx

@thenexthobby Год назад

On my hydrostatic Hondas I frequently adjust the speed while I mow, because I always seem to have janky lawns that can only sometimes take faster speeds, until they can’t and I gotta slow down so that it doesn’t die. Yes, I am aware that is not a mower issue :) From what I understand of Speed IQ, not knowing when that speed will change sounds a bit like being a car passenger not knowing about speed changes “ahead of time,” in the way the driver would. In other words, it’s automatic?

@johndonovan532 Год назад

Question about turbo mode. From what I understand the 56 and 67 have the same 1200w 8.3 ft lb motor. If the 56 is running at 8.3 ft lbs all the time does this mean the 67 runs at lower ft lbs in normal and turbo brings it up to 8.3 ft lbs or do they clock the motor so it produces more than 8.3 ft lbs in turbo. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.

@TechMadeEzy Год назад

The 56 to my knowledge will adjust as it needs to. The 67 has the option to be on turbo at all times using the on screen feature but will definitely use more battery to do this.

@lthegr81 9 месяцев назад

If I don't need self propel, which mower you recommend?

@TechMadeEzy 9 месяцев назад

Lm2135 definitely not the lm2135sp that has self propel

@nickprioletti7221 Год назад

I don't even need self propel. They should just make the blade tip speed higher and better design the deck so it cuts better. I use a 9 year old EGO 20" push commercially. Just gotta keep the blade sharp and don't let grass get overgrown. The mower weighs like 60 pounds, it doesn't need to have self propel. Just focus on advancing the cut quality. And I also own a select cut model ego with 2 blades and self propel but the power button isn't working right now. But it doesn't really cut that much better than the old one. It cuts thicker stuff better. I never use the self propel on that or my 25" greenworks commercial to conserve battery.

I have had the Speed IQ mower for about 9 months. Overall, I like it very well, but the jerkiness issue is real. I have bad knees and some incline in my year, so the verible speed proultion is very imporetant to me. I cannot maintain a uniform walking speed. I previously had two Toro Personal Pace mowers, and the eGo works much better (except for the jerkiness). I have kept in touch with eGo, hoping they could come up with a fix for this problem. Today, I received the final answer. eGo has discontinued teh iSpeed mower. I am disappointed, but will continue using it as logn as I can. It still worked better than the Toro Personal Pace.
