Ego tools ok - batteries have problems with high replacement cost – As others have mentioned - there are issues with Ego batteries, not helped by the poor attitude of Australian Ego distributor. I've found the power tools themselves are pretty good, but my lawnmower battery failed at 3 years and 3 months - just after warranty ended (this seems to be a common story). Replacement cost for a 5.0Ah battery is $350 -… Read more
about same cost as a reasonably decent petrol mower.
I hadn't noticed any degrading of charge held before the failure - it could have been a battery cell or something like the controller board or thermostat control - but can't find anyone around Melbourne who can look at it - and Ego not interested. I use the lawnmower about 25 times per year so battery failure was after less than 80 re-charges - whereas a reasonable lifetime for this type of battery should be 500+.
I won't be buying any more Ego tools because of the battery issue - and that's what I've been telling anyone that asks me about my experience with Ego - battery issues mean you're better off with another brand.
No repair center if product is under warranty – Please stay away from EGO products they don’t have any repair center make you drop product 300 km away only to repair done when product under warranty. I spent $300 fuel only to some to repair product that is under warranty. Show details
Shocking battery reliability – Liked to mower but as many have said the batteries just dont last. Now the mower wont start despite buying a new battery, i think the switch has failed. All up i regret buying this Ego mower Show details

Batteries are horrible. Doesn't pick up grass – I have owned this mower for about 4 years and i can honestly say i hate it. I have gone through 2 batteries so far which are completely unusable. A new battery is the same price a petrol mower! You cannot mow the grass if there is any moisture around..... not even condensation in the mornings. The clippings don't go in the catcher they just float… Read more
around in the deck until the motor stalls and you empty it out. Every thick patch of grass just makes the motor stall and you have to restart it.
Good Lawn Mower! Batteries die after about 4 years though and it isn't perfect! – Look I have had the mower for 5 years now. It's good but not perfect. Firstly, the side green latches that hold the handle bars in position, come unclipped constantly whilst mowing, but I have a strap on them that stops them coming undone so not a huge deal. Batteries last just after warranty period, about 4 years. Downside is they are pricey… Read more
to replace. But 4 years is reasonable for their lifespan.
I understand what people mean about the mower not cutting well with dense grass, but hey maybe raise it up to begin with and cut your grass lower over time till you get it the right height? Ever think of that? I use it to cut my buffalo lawn on the second highest setting and it's fine to use.
I also like that its main deck is plastic, it will never rust and is tough as suprisingly.
Overall it's the best mower I've had, but saying that I've always had crappy cheap mowers from Bunnings. I'd buy another if I needed (but maybe a bigger self propelled model) but this one is still good, it's probably as good as a cheaper petrol mower power wise, but more convenient due to no fuel being needed and storage is easy as it folds up fairly small and can be stored however you like.
***UPDATE 2024*** After several years of use and some commercial use, this mower is still going strong and Im very impressed. If you find the mower to be struggling with thicker lawns, I found sharpening the blade makes all the difference. Overall well done Ego and Im looking forward to trying out your commercial mower soon.
Positive reviews
Brilliant, effective, efficient, easy and powwerd by my solar pv roof – Clean wet grass from under deck is the only maintenance, I don’t use the catcher. I have a 4.0 and 5.0 batteries and normal and fast charger as have other tools. One of my best buys. Show details
So much better than a petrol mower – Bought this mower nearly 4 years ago and has been a complete pleasure to use. The best thing about this mower is not only the ZERO amount of maintenance required, but that it is also a pleasure to use. No harsh vibrations, no rip-cord start, no petrol fumes. I particularly like how well it cuts my buffalo lawn. With the 4.0Ah battery, I can mow my… Read more
front & back lawn with plenty of charge left over. In nearly 4 years I've only had to replace the rear wheel bearings and the blades once. The original battery pack is still going strong.
CONS:
Replacement parts can sometimes be tricky to source. Battery packs can be quite expensive (luckily haven't had to replace mine yet).
PROS:
Strong, sturdy chassis Safety lock ZERO Maintenance Cuts lawn very well Folds up for ultra compact storage
good warranty service and good for my small grassed area – had the mower for just under 3 years now. perfect for my small lawn area - I only use half the battery life and the mulching system is great. I agree with others that it's a bit hard to get into some tight areas but not much different from my old petrol mower. As to customer service.. the battery wasn't charging properly after 2 years and 10… Read more
months. I took it back to the supplier who agreed it was faulty. Four days later a new battery delivered my door.
Negative reviews
Landfill – If it would work for the described battery time, it would be great. I’ve owned it from new for about 4 - 5 years and in that time I’d probably be exaggerating if I said it has worked properly for 5 complete mows without a problem. (I could do my whole lawn in under a full battery when it works.) The battery has almost constantly required removing… Read more
and replacing at least 10 times each mow to get the job done. I managed to get a new battery under warranty because of the problem, but it worked effectively for 2 mows, then back to removing and replacing because it cuts out. The fact that it started again proves that it had enough charge to continue, but wouldn’t. Now the charger itself won’t charge the battery beyond 2 bars before it cuts off as though it’s finished. I’ve had WAY LESS problems with an old petrol mower, but thought I’d try going green as I only have a relatively small level lawn. I know some people give EGO a glowing review, but even if I got a “lemon”, there’s too many other negative reviews on EGO to say you won’t be the next one, and at the price you pay - just buy a Honda, or two of any other battery mowers for the same price and you’ll still have better peace of mind.
Great power, BUT – I've had my EGO LM2000E since 2015, so 6 years now. It certainly has the power to cut thick grass and enough battery life in 3 batteries for me to complete my mowing trimming and blowing without needing to recharge. It's nice and light and stores easily. I also have the EGO grass trimmer, blower and hedge trimmer. However, the Achilles Heel of the… Read more
products are the batteries. They fail regularly and reliability is terrible. Just look on the internet to see the hassles people are having with EGO batteries. I have had just the one replaced under warranty, and the other three have failed just out of warranty. At $350 a pop, they are not cheap to replace. I'm now seriously considering a return to petrol mowers and equipment as these Ego things are nothing. Consider how much mower fuel you could buy for the price of just one EGO battery. But, you will need at least three of them if you have other equipment as well. Then, when the batteries fail, you have to keep replacing them. So in 5 years, expect to outlay at least $2000, maybe more for batteries. It's insane. How is this company still in business? Oh, and today the bearing in my EGO mower started to make a loud grinding noise. I don't even want to think about what that is going to cost to repair. I think the things will just have to go to the recyclers and I should buy a new lot of reliable petrol power instead.
Batteries are unreliable – I've had one of these mowers for 6 years now and it is rarely used, maybe 4 times per year as standby when my regular mowing guy can't make it. The quality is OK but certainly not rugged e.g. wheels are toy store standard. But the biggest problem is the battery which is very expensive. You can buy a very good petrol mower for the price of 1 56v… Read more
battery plus charger from EGO!!!! I have gone through two 56 volt batteries and I would strongly advise you steer well clear of these products. The batteries are just poor quality. They were never recharged in any excess heat nor were they in any way mishandled. Yet they both failed miserably as soon as they were out of warranty. I have many battery operated power tools and never a problem with those batteries. Just EGO. And forget about meaningful help. It basically comes down to ''it's your fault, it's out of warranty, buy another battery." I have left my EGO mower on the nature strip for someone to take away for free or else it will go with the next council collection. If you bought one I wish you better luck than I have had. For me I am buying a self propelled 4 stroke petrol mower with push button start, metal deck etc. The lot. And it will be about what I would have to spend on an EGO mower plus their awful batteries.

Overpriced with a Terrible Warranty System (Be prepared to be without your equipment for weeks) – For the cost I expected a lot more, I had to send it back for a warranty as the motor started making a noise. Ego expected me to take it to a repair centre (not the store of purchase) on the other side of the city during business hours (had to take time off work to do it) who then shipped it to another repair centre, who didn't have parts to… Read more
repair the mower. Long story short, several it was several weeks of waiting before I had a lawnmower again in the middle of summer.
On top of that the battery which is the whole point of this equipment died, I had to get it replaced as well again couldn't take it to the store and it took weeks again to get a replacement.
Had an Ego saw break, same deal with the warranty
I bought quite a lot of Ego gear and I am really regretting it after having to deal with their warranty system 3 times in a bit over 12 months
Grossly overpriced and underpowered electric mower – This lawn mower was given to me as a thank you present for helping out on a project. I also own a solidly built 40 year old Victa 2 Stroke that still starts on the first pull and has more power and torque. This model is rated the best electric mower only because its competition are really poorly built under powered units appropriate for small… Read more
areas of non-dense lawn.
An under average attempt to save the planet. It falls well short on both performance and value for money when compared to conventional lawn mowers at a similar price.
The Pros 1. Starts Easy. 2. Less Noisy.
The Cons 1. Battery life of about 40 minutes. 2. Engine frequently stalls on long or dense variety of grasses. 3. Two side safety clamps that need to be in place for the motor to operate comes loose with vibration causing the motor to stop. 4. Significantly less torque compared to a conventional mower. 5. Expensive 6. Not ergonomically comfortable.

Plastic rubbish pretending to be a lawn mower – Utter rubbish. The issue here is it simply doesn't cut grass. Isn't that what it's meant to do? Flimsy flexible chassis just doesn't go low enough. The motor makes enough noise, but the reality is it's weak. The speed control for the power drive is really just dead slow or way too fast. This is genuine plastic nonsense of the highest order and absolutely NOT the future. Massively overpriced. Don't waste your money. Show details
Great for buffalo, terrible for couch grass – I've had this mower for over a year now, mostly mowing my patch of baffle grass, in a hard to get to place where I need to carry the mower down stairs. The mower is nice and light to carry, can be towed like a sack truck, and folds up compact in the shed. It's also quiet to run and is well constructed. Recently I laid down some Santa Anna couch… Read more
grass. And this mower is absolutely rubbish at cutting it, the lawn is too thick for it. It keeps getting stuck even when going over the same patch at the same height setting. I end up getting blade crescent patterns all over the place as it doesn't have enough torque. In summary avoid this isn you got couch grass, its fine for everything else.
Look elsewhere, waste of money – 1) Only fills 1/4 of the catcher before spewing grass everywhere and needs emptying. 2) Inside blade area clogs with grass clippings and requires constant cleaning out. Even during small mows. 2a) Takes longer to remove caked on grass around blades dome then wash out than it does to mow lawns itself. 3) Poor edge cutting 4) heavy to push and… Read more
bulky compared to other equivalents.
Since buying this “top of the line” battery mower that has won many design awards I have hated mowing my lawns ever since.
I used to very much enjoy cutting my lawns but since buying the 56v ego lawn mower I loath the job.
The mower is shocking, the grass doesn’t even make it through to the catcher without clogging the grass catcher port where the grass is meant to pass into the catcher. This results in it needing to be emptied after doing about 10 square meters. I only have a small lawn and have to empty it 4 times.
Due to the above issue it throws grass clipping all over the place when you turn around on any area of a side curb, foot path, patio thus requiring it to be sweeped and washed/ hoses down.
The chamber that the blades rotate gets completely clogged full of grass, so after I get through the job I have to turn the mower onto it’s side and pull 4-5 hand fulls of grass clipping out and hose the inside out so it doesn’t dry like concrete inside.
It’s also very heavy to use and push, hard to manoeuvre at tight angles and corner and it rubbish edge cutting.
All of this makes it damn near impossible to keep our patios around the grass area clean without grass clipping being spewed across it and grass stains on the tiles, extremely hard to keep clean and well manicured lawns when afterwards you have to unclog the grass cutting chamber and catcher port of clumps of caked up clippings especially after having to hose it all out on the fresh cut lawn.
Very regrettable purchase.
I have mowed lawns since I was 10, used a lot of mowers and this has to be the absolute worst by a very long way
Lawn Mowing Made EASY – Very easy to use, makes hard'n tiring job very easy and enjoyable. Will never go back to petrol one.. One problem thou, NEVER cut wet grass with it. Sticks to bottom of the mower, and chokes, you have to scoop the cuttings out by hand.Even after 2 years, battery still strong. Would recommend to any... Show details
This brand leaves much to be desired – Cheap, hardened plastics, longevity issues, grass clippings and water getting into places that shouldn't. There are better brands out there with greater access to service and parts and less reliant on a relatively unknown brand in Australia. The quality of grass cutting is OK, but the mower has difficulty when cutting longer and thicker grass varieties. Show details
Money well spent !!! $$! – I was a bit sceptical whilst doing a research on these, until I went to the store to have a look and the salesman said : Don’t be nervous, more and more people are replacing petrol / changing to battery mowers every day :) I could see why after the first run ! It costs a fair chunk of money, but then again, quality petrol ones cost exactly the… Read more
same (and more) .
All it takes is around 40 minutes for full charge, and this mower will give you a proper power run for the next hour or so ! Just bare in mind that the battery’s capacity will drop in time, but you can always replace it . There’s also a 5 year warranty on it, as well as other mower parts .
Easy to maintain & clean, does a great job .
Highly recommend !!!
Great battery life and power – Using EGO lawnmower for 2 years now and still it has a very good battery life. Powerful enough to cut my front and back yards (approx 150 sqm) and very easy to use and maintain it. If you are looking for electric mower, I highly recommend this product. It takes around 3 -4 hours to recharge the battery I reckon. Show details
Not So Great Product – My very long term petrol mower died a couple of months ago so I researched battery mowers as my sore shoulder is not getting any better and having to pull the cord on a petrol mower wasn't helping any. I would like to love my new EGO LM2000E mower but I don't. I have nicknamed this mower "fussy [word removed]". I have thick couch grass, very green… Read more
at the moment as we have had quite a bit of rain in Brisbane Australia. The only way I could cut my grass was on height 4 otherwise the mower would not start at all. This just took the top off so then I had to go over it again on height 3. The mower would not even start until I found a patch of low crappy grass to start it on. While my footpath is wide and flat my yard has a bit of a slope so I had to trick the mower into starting by finding a spot where it would start and mow up and down and then turn the mower to go across the face. No mower likes wet grass. This mower doesn't even like slightly damp grass. It will leave it all over the lawn even if the catcher only has a small amount of grass in it. You will need to either go over the lawn again with the mower to pick it up or rake it up by hand. Having to go over each section of the lawn three times, once on 4, once on 3 and again to pick up the grass is not only exhausting it makes me think this mower is not Fit For Purpose. I would also like to mention I do not have a big yard but the battery, even though fully charged at the beginning of mowing, seems to need to be recharged halfway through otherwise the mower won't start. I also find it an extra chore to have to turn the mower on its side and clean with an old cloth the grass that collects quite thickly under the deck. I have also found this is much easier to do directly after mowing as it comes off more easily than if you let it dry out. The only things I like about this mower are that I don't find it any heavier than my petrol mower, it is no harder to maneuver, it is quiet and of course no spark plugs, petrol or fumes to deal with. Lithium batteries however are very dangerous to your health if damaged so you wouldn't want to drop or damage it in any way. I also like the safety key idea, especially if children are around. I am now waiting until my grass well and truly dries out so that I can have another play with my new toy and hope that I don't have to ring the store for a refund. I do hope it improves as I really do not want to go back to a petrol mower. So far I am rather disappointed as it looks like I will need to mow my yard a lot more often as I don't see how I will ever be able to mow on height 2.
Great Product – The EGO brand is a great product. We are happy with our purchase. These new battery mowers are perfect. It is easy to use and battery strength does last enough to finish mowing my grass. It was a bit dear in cost but overall am very glad with our purchase. Show details

Powerful mower this is a beast! – Best purchase ever. Enough said. I love how this is battery operated so there is no messy electric cords to wind. The battery lasts for about an hour which allows me to mow the front and back lawn (my land size is 600sqm). It is powerful enough to cut long grass and light enough to push without exerting too much effort. I also love the grass… Read more
clipping collection basket attached to this mower, it is very effective leaving the lan nice and neat. It sits in my garage folded, taking up hardly any space at all. Honestly recommend it to anyone and everyone. All my mates purchased one and they love it too!
Better than petrol – This mower is great. There is enough power and it can mow my small yard just fine. Only thing that can improve is if the battery has a percentage indicator instead of just a red yellow green light indicator, but thats a small thing. Purchased this on the cheap when masters was closing down. Show details
Great love it! – Love this mower it is great we sometimes leave our grass for a while and it has no trouble cutting longer length lawns. It is really easy to use and push and around and of course not having too deal with petrol makes it easier to use also! Our lawn isn't big so we can always get it done without having to recharge it.

Love this mower – I bought this EGO as I couldn't start a petrol mower after an injury. It has lived up to every expectation. I have used it on mulch setting so that I didn't have to empty the catcher. It works great, the cut is clean and leaves a very professional look. Better still, theres no petrol smell, no pulling a cord to start it and no emptying the… Read more
bag. It has given no trouble and starts first go every time. Almost nothing on the downside. However, if you have a lot of leaves on your lawn as with any mower you will need to rake roughly to ensure a better look, before mowing. Also the prevision of a second key would be a good idea. Otherwise a top mower with plenty of power and long battery life.
Very good lawnmower – Bought this a few months ago and every pleased with it. Easy to use, the battery lasts long enough that I can mow both the front and back yard. The mower itself is easy to start and use, with settings to allow various heights for your grass. The battery pack is also super easy to charge (no more pulling cords to start the mower!). Highly recommend! Show details
A BRILLIANT MACHINE AFTER A FULL SEASON OF USE - No complaints - LM 2001E – I reviewed all options when looking to replace my old Victa clanger, 17 years old. On researching, I liked the idea of a battery mower with minimal or no servicing and no petrol fumes in the garage....eventually I expected that I would end up with the much lighter 16inch 20 kg Husqvana mover that was $150 dearer (it also had positive reviews on… Read more
ProductReview web site and I had a couple of comms with "Bill" about it) We do not have a large area, 20 mins usually sees me out and we have Sir Walter which I note has caused some angst with some. We also have a steep hill out front which I cut east to west across the face and the Victa was always heavy to pull backwards across this area. The good news was that in talking to TradeTools Capalaba they said they could get a DEMO in to try.... FANTASTIC try before you buy (cant understand why they do not advertise this aspect) which I did. I had a weeks normal (Brisbane summer) growth on my lawn and the mower supplied (about 4 years old) handled it quite easily. I was of the mind that I would find this model too heavy ( checked the weights of my existing Victa and the EGO was about 3kg lighter)) but I was pleasantly surprised. I think the large rear wheels and the longer profile of the mower, combined with the ability to have 2 handle height settings, makes the machine very manoeuvrable. If this machine continues in a similar vein then I will be very satisfied with this purchase.
A couple of negatives :
The key mechanism is a bit of a pain. You have to depress the key and hold before engaging the on/off handle every time you stop the mower and take your hand off the handle. On the demo the key was actually missing and I had to go an get another from TradeTools it had pulled off the flimsy string that had been tied around the handle, so this alerted me to a potential issue and I have used a couple of zip ties to ensure that it does not get pulled off.
I noticed one of the handle locks constantly got unlocked when brushing past plants. The handle has to be fully extended to operate. It did not cause me an issue in any way but I did read somewhere that if the plastic locks deteriorate then the handle mechanism needs to be replaced in total.. but that was the Ryobi on further investigation, the handle clips are a replacement item EGO advise me and that is good to know.
The flimsy green plastic battery cover is not all that robust. I push up under a hedge and one of the low hanging branches dinged it fairly heavily. It did no damage but did highlight the fact that it could have had i pushed harder.
For my Sir Walter 2.5 would be a great setting instead of 2 or 3....out of only 5 settings.
I will update again at the end of summer when a variety of tough conditions will have been encountered.
Any questions give me a mail.
UPDATE : FEBRUARY the summer rains finally arrived and i cut my week long Sir Walter on level 2 and it handled it ok. I was actually surprised as the cutting bag also filled to 98% but i did realize that despite rain stopping (we had almost 10 inches) up to the night prior, we are on a hill and drains quickly, so in fact our grass was moist not as wet as you would expect. I would not let Sir Walter go any longer than a week altho u could easily cut on no 3 as well.
UPDATE : JUNE 2018 - the growing season has finished and the EGO handled my Sir Walter in every condition presented to it. More than happy. I have not tried the mulching adaptor as it just has not been necessary. My VERY old Stihl line trimmer finally died and I did not hesitate to buy the EGO that uses the same battery. It is brilliant and is covered under a separate review.

Why would I buy petrol again? – This mower cuts great, no issues in higher grass if have not been cut in a while. The battery life is really good so far, able to cut the grass on my entire property with plenty power to spare. No range anxiety to worry about here and it is super low maintenance Show details
Nothing wrong with it – Nothing wrong with it. It mulches well. It is light to push and compact when it folds up. Sometimes I can get 40 min mow time out of it if the grass is dry and not too long. Withy the rapid charger I can do some other things for 30 min, come back, and then it is ready to go again! Show details
I love this mower – So glad I made the change to a battery mower. Cuts great, battery lasts several mows for a small yard. Certainly wouldn't want a smaller battery though. Struggles a little through my very thick front lawn but powers through in the end. The convenience of a battery mower for a female severely outweighs the petrol mower by far!! Show details
Very unhappy with my EGO – Thought I would review. I'm very unhappy with my EGO. I wanted to like this product, I really did! So i went away for two weeks recently after cutting my lawn on the highest ego setting (LM2001E) which is actually really short. When I came back the lawn had put on a fair bit of growth, but then it is that time of year. Basically the entire… Read more
time I was mowing the yellow 'overload' light is flashing. I get about 15 minutes of mowing before the battery runs out. I don't have couch grass or anything serious, its just the native grass that came with the block. The other major problem with this mower is it does not have the power to discharge the clippings. If you use the side discharge chute or mulcher the deck just gets clogged with grass and the mower stalls. I either use the bag (with frequent emptying) or use an occy strap to hold it partially open for a rear discharge. Even then it still clogs up a few times during a standard mow. And if the grass is SLIGHTLY wet then I have to unclog the chute once every 30 seconds – its incredibly frustrating.
So this mower cannot handle two weeks of lawn growth – in my opinion that makes it unfit for purpose. You could not reasonably be expected to mow every week. Of course nobody involved will take any responsibility for their crap product so I can either sell it or go to VCAT (court) where I have to pay $60. What consumer rights?
I'm pretty furious that consumer rights are in such a dismal place in Australia and it pains me but I will have to stick with petrol mowers for another few years until Tesla drives battery prices down some more and battery mowers can be made more powerful.
"The Tesla of mowers" – I used to have an Enviromower which was pretty good, but I forgot to keep the battery charged up over the non-mowing season so when I used it this year, the batteries would no longer hold a charge. (They are several years old now, no complaint.) I tossed up getting new lead-acid batteries for about $100, or leaping into the 21st century with a… Read more
lithium-ion battery mower. After reading Choice and other online reviews, I went for the Ego LM2001E. It is AMAZING.
I have a 19 acre bush block with a large amount of grass to mow and no, I didn't mow the whole block with the EGO mower! I have a ride-on mower but also have an area around the house that I mow with the cordless mower, as our home runs on stand-alone solar power so I'd rather use free solar power than buy petrol to mow.
Yesterday was my first use of the EGO mower, I can't believe how gutsy it is. I cut the area round the house in no time, then started off into the area I usually mow with the ride-on. longer grass was generally no problem, in a couple of thick long patches the mower flashed an orange light to warn I was over-doing it so I just slowed my pace a bit as I passed through the heavier sections,and it was great. When mowing heavier sections you can hear the motor speed up a bit, I believe it is electronically controlled to prevent stalling under heavy load.
The mower really fills up the catcher, other mowers I have used tend to clog up the chute before the catcher is full. I now have a mountain of clippings for composting.
I didn't time how much mowing time I got on a charge, but it was a long time. I was tired before the battery was.
The battery management and charging is quite sophisticated, including the charger blows cooling air through the battery as it charges. (and I only have the basic charger, there is an optional fast charger too.) Lithium batteries can get quite hot both under load and under charging, the EGO handles this well. Even the standard charger recharges the 4.0 ah battery in under 1.5 hours.
The only things I could fault are minor: the hatch cover over the battery doesn't stay up when you open it, so you have to hold the lid up with one hand and insert the battery with the other hand.
Also the whole mower is quite bulky, including protruding forward beyond the front wheels so you can't mow close in to a corner. Although much lighter than petrol mowers, it is very heavy by cordless mower standards. I have fairly steep lawns to mow, and I have psoriatic arthritis so my knees get grumpy. The Enviromower was much lighter to push around. The EGO seems unnecessarily bulky and heavy.
I am impressed with the 5 year mower, 3 year battery warranty.
Excellent!!! – Very happy with this mower! Purchased from masters. Cuts perfectly, light weight, easy to manoeuvre, plenty of juice from the battery. Also grabbed the line brushless trimmer kit. It does seem to get stuck cutting on number 1 setting, I just changed to 2. The led lights are super cool, it's ability to stand upright folded away is awesome. I hate… Read more
mowing but with this mower, I want to cut grass everyday!!! The entire unit is made of plastic but it does seem durable and tough. Green accent colours make it look good, compared to ryobi which looks like a transformer. Highly recommended! Best feature, push button starts all the time every time. On sale at masters for 584! Got mine for 650.
Great Idea But Poor Execution – Just tried out my new EGO Power+ lawn mower. The idea is fantastic - Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, plastic chassis, it is light, quiet, relatively easy to operate. This model is the most powerful on the market at 56v. It's a pity it can't even handle a little moisture on the grass. I waited until it hadn't rained for a few days before trying… Read more
it out to give it a fair chance. However, there was a bit of dew around. Still, the lawn was not wet to the touch.
Firstly, although I had the catcher bag in place according to the instructions, only half the grass was going in there. The rest was balling up underneath.
I managed to cut some quite long grass/weeds and continued around relatively shorter grass when it began to cut out. The power light flashes orange when tithe blades are being inhibited. Then it just stops. I turned it over and cleared all wet grass from underneath and right up under the blades but, it seemed to make no difference. That made me wonder if the grass had gotten into some hidden area under the blades that was causing to continue to cut out. I wasn't able to finish the job. I will try to continue next weekend.
In the meantime, I went to EGO's website where there is a question and answer section. I thought I might be able to find out what was going on by posting a question. It seems that the questions are heavily vetted. I followed the instructions and kept my question very short. "I just tried out my new EGO Power+ LM2001E mower last weekend. Although it hadn't rained for a few days, I think the grass was still quite wet from dew. It started cutting out even after I removed the wet grass.."I had to verify by email to have my question published but later that day I received an email which read, "Our staff has read your question and values your contribution even though it did not meet all our website guidelines. Thanks for sharing, and we hope to publish next time!"
Possibly EGO are afraid of criticism or any negative comments although my question was not particularly negative. I'm just looking for a way around this issue so I can use the product.
If they are sincere about helping their customers and promoting their products, maybe the need to check their EGO.
Update: Just reported to Masters that they are advertising the model: LM2001E but the model sold to me is actually, LM2000E. LM2001E is also the model on the EGO website which states it is available from Masters. Masters is looking into it.
Update: I've been told that the model LM2000E is without the battery and charger. LM2001E is the kit (with battery and charger).
I took my mower back to Masters and they replaced it. The new one works fine.
