Two Week Update Ego Commercial Mower Is It Any Good? 

I returned this mower to the dealer after the self propel mechanism stopped working on the first cut with 25 minutes of use. Disappointing!!!

Compare to other EGO self propelled system, this new one is quiet and ramps up slowly and very quietly. I hope EGO will put this type of self propelled system into all the new mowers as they is one of the most problematic part of the current mowers. I wish EGO will bring this kit to North American regions.

Thanks for the review. Had mine for a few months now. 3 things that drive me nuts: the tongue part on the bag gets stuck, the self propelled will not engage if it is rolling back at all which is a real kicker when your rolling back down a hill after a turn and after a little bit the deck starts to build up around the blade tip and it causes a loud whistling type noise. Never heard a mower make a noise like that. Less of an issue is the front end has springs on the height setting so it rattles over bumps. But, battery life is WAY batter than my other dual blade Ego unit and I run this on turbo. Plenty of power to do the job. Would be nice if we could have some control over the self propelled ramp up through the bluetooth app. Unless you have the batteries I don't see any consumer going this route when the aluminum deck consumer is less than half the price for 95% of the features and power. The reason I did, the self propelled doesn't sound like a childs toy like on the consumer models lol.

The first 2 minutes reveals a man trying to mow an already mowed lawn , you can still see the stripes

Thanks for the update, looks like a hell of a machine. Part of me was hoping you'd find a problem with it to temper my urge to go out and buy one right now, but it looks like I'll be retiring my Honda HRX217 for one of these now.

Thanks so much for this excellent review! Have you been able to find the exact speed of the highest self-propelled setting? Ego lists a top speed of 3.1mph for several other mowers, but doesn’t provide a specification for their commercial model. I’m wondering and hoping it is slightly faster than their non-commercial options.

Great review. I love the positive spin on it all. I was a bit more critical in my assessment but, for the most part, an excellent mower by Ego. Mate, I dont even think your lawn needed mowing in the first place! It's smick!

We replaced our smaller mower a few months back now and were looking at ego but we went for Stihl rma443vc instead as we already had the batteries and charger and didnt want to go into the extra expense of starting fresh with whole new battery ,charger set up, but we will this year need to replace our lc353ivx husqvarna and we are looking at EGO waiting for Groundfest though so we can have a good butchers

Hi can you run it with 1 battery

Does look good, and I agree with your reply on the previous video that battery tools are nicer to use. But just had a look how much it is here in the UK, £1149 for the mower, £399 for the 10AH battery’s (which I suppose you would need at least 4), so cost of entry is high.

Good review,waiting for you to compare to other similar battery mowers especially Stihl .

Fantastic review, detail on the acceleration being slow and how it works superb. You would choose this over the Pellenc? The big bar extending up near the battery housing needed? useful? or the metal bar handle at the front of mower ok for lifting into a vehicle if needed? take the bigger bar off?

Good review. Looks to be the pick of the battery 21’s at the minute although the slow ramp up to full speed on the self propel isn’t great. If they prove to be durable I’m sure they’ll be popular.

The cut quality looks excellent for a single blade, dual blades mostly are for mulching into fine particles, my honda has good cut quality but compared to single blade mowers i dont really see much difference, for bagging though you get more clippings in the bag.

Hey, great video! I have just got the commercial mower for my business, and was just wondering what’s the difference between the blade that comes on the mower and the high lift blade you’ve ordered? Cheers ☺️

Thanks for the review,you mentioned that the mower is way better than egos previous model,did you mean the 2135sp model?thats the one i have and im looking to upgrade it for more power and better cut quality,this is the real deal in your opinion?

Good review Ki, if you're impressed then I would be. Difficult to gauge I know as it's winter, so a Queensland summer is needed to test it properly. But the question is, would you put your 216 out to pasture and just use the Ego going forward?, cheers Steve.

Does the deck lift when you engage self propel like the 2156?

Hi Mate I check the specs on my mower and it comes with the high lift blade?
