Is The New EGO Power+ Self Propelled Lawn Mower (Aluminum Deck) Worth It? 

Good review. Thank you. I agree with your every comment. I bought the same mower in July 2024. It performed flawlessly for the first four weeks, and I was completely happy with it, but then the self-propelled feature suddenly stopped working. The blades still spun, so I had to push this heavy mower to finish my mow. After a call to customer service, I was referred to an Ace Hardware store for a warranty repair. (I purchased at Lowes.) The shop mechanic said he was backed up and couldn't look at it for at least 2 weeks. He said that when he determines the problem, parts availability from Chicago or China will determine when I could have the mower back. This Friday it will be 2 weeks. This afternoon, I bought a gas Toro Super Recycler as a backup. For new EGO purchasers, register your mower as soon as you take delivery to make the process quicker, just in case you have to call for a warranty referral. Now, sadly, I have a gas can in my garage again. If I had purchased from Ace, I wonder if the initial evaluation would have been less than two weeks. I'll never know.

The additional weight over prior EGO is substantial, and it very difficult for older mowers to handle turn arounds. It cost about 35% more, do you need it that power? Will you need a second battery? for large yards or for long or wet grass. The best comes with its downsides.

When somebody says aluminum or steel deck have longer longevity than plastic, it's because he doesn't know Honda. Stop that myth, please. My last Honda lasted 30 years before I resold it with no trace of wear. I had something like 4 Hondas before. So I know for sure. My dream mower is a Honda deck with that EGO motor. I cannot care less about the look of a mower. The lag every time you engage the traction is irritating. This enormous bag is awesome. Those wheels are also awesome. The weight and lower manoeuvrability of this thing is the limiting factor. Maybe not on flat lands, but certainly on technical and slopy terrains.

Awesome.. I'm needing to buy a push mower for my new place, doesnt need a rider/tractor and really want to go Electric and your video is helping with that decision. I saw a tip in some other video that I am going to pass on.. the guy said to wax underneath the mower so grass sticks less if its a big issue for you. I am definitely going to try that.

Thanks for the review!

Good review! I wish this was available when I bought my Ego mower. Makes me nervous seeing you wearing slides while you mow 😳

Nice grass

Please be safe ! Never mow your lawn with flip flops. Put on a pair of sneakers or yard shoes.

Mowing while wearing flip-flops? Not the most sensible.
