I finally got fed up enough with my gas mower that I switched to an Ego electric mower. No, it doesn't cut as well as my Honda did, but it cuts well enough, and not dealing with gas makes the experience so much more pleasant.
For reference, I'm mowing fescue grass in NC, have a sloped yard on the side and in back, and it takes me about 45 minutes to mow the entire property. I use the mulching blades and don't bother bagging. I usually have about 15-20% battery left when I'm done. I've only mowed one season so far. I don't recharge till the day I mow so I'm not storing the battery at 100%.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoEgo electric lawn products are very good.
- _ea1k 5y agoEgo products are great. I just wish the batteries were a bit less expensive.
- wtf_is_up 5y agoI've used EGO mower and weed eater for 3 years. Very similar use case as yours. It was a great decision in hindsight. I also love how quiet they are compared to gas equipment.
- celestialcheese 5y agoSame - except i went with Makitas, since I own a number of their other tools. Decent mower for my small lawn. The unexpected bonus was when breaking down the price, it's like I paid $400 for the 4 large 18v 6a batteries and charging station, and got the mower for free. Batteries work great with other tools. Highly recommend going electric
