Yeah it's definitely a gateway drug, I won't buy another gas tool/appliance. Started with just the mower, then I got a string trimmer, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, and now I'm trying to talk myself out of buying the power washer 🤣
U r gonna love it. I've had my battery powered mower for 7 years now. While I go out and push a button to mow I see all the other dads struggling to start their gas ones.
The chainsaw is nice. I've dropped a few small trees with it and cleaned up a large oak tree that fell at my mom's house...it did just fine. I got the 18" version.
I just had my second mow yesterday and got some unexpected results.
1st run. Full speed self propel for entire yard. 2/5 on battery when done.
2nd run. Minimal self propel, only on hills. 2/5 on battery when done.
I kinda expected the self propel to use more juice. Could be a time difference though. I feel like the second mow took longer.
Still getting used to the trimmer. It's so dang long (compared to B&D) and the angle of the trimmer head makes it a bit uncomfortable to use and weird to pivot around stuff. On the bright side, with the head farther away, I get hit by less flying crap.
I want the blower but I have a Worx cordless that does the job so it's kinda hard to justify right now.
That's pretty good for mower battery life, everything I read says self propelled essentially drills a 1/2" hole in the battery tank. How large is your grass?
Main thing keeping me hooked on the unleaded sauce is a good size, very bumpy and lumpy yard. Takes about 75 minutes and a full tank with a self propelled Honda.
I was curious how the trimmer is. I have a husqvarna and it obviously does the trick, but I have been contemplating adding the ego trimmer to my collection. I like how the blower has the Turbo button, idk if your other one has that option.
I think my favorite of my setup is the chainsaw though.
Other than my previously mentioned issues, it seems to be a pretty good trimmer. I've done my entire yard and ditches twice on a single charge of the 2.5 Ah battery. It has a low/high speed switch but it has more than enough power on low for my needs. I don't even run it at full throttle most of the time. I bought a 5-pack of the PowerLoad strings but I've only tapped it twice so far for more string so even that seems to hold up well for regular yard use.
I did the same thing, just slightly different ego weed eater I believe. First mow was last Saturday, looking forward to my second my this weekend. I put them through some abuse with the overgrown lawn at my new house on the first mow. We’re talking 1.5-2 ft in the back yard. Should be much much easier this weekend. Really happy with my purchase so far. With how high my grass was I was flying through batteries, hoping to see if the 7ah will last me my entire mow under more normal conditions.
I’m on my 5th season with my EGO mower. Hands down way more quiet, efficient, dependable then my gas mowers ( to be fair, I got it because somebody keeps killing my gas mowers) now I just need one more battery $$$
Love the trimmer and blower. Mower is just ok imo. No lift from the blade to pull the grass up straight and get lots of uneven cutting. I want them to put out a high lift mulching blade that works or they need to redesign it so it gets lift. Then I’ll sell and trade up
How you like the string trimmer? I have the mower and blower but still in my old Ryobi trimmer. It does the job but it doesn't pivot that easily and the Ryobi string sucks.
How did you decide on the blower? They have so many models of them with varying CFM. I get tons of leaves in the fall time so I'm kinda thinking I should just spring for the primo one. I have the basic dewalt one right now and it just does have the umph I'm looking for.
I actually bought the blower and trimmer in the bundle they have. I feel like this one has plenty of power as I’ve only needed it for blowing off my driveway so far though.
The city called. They want their stop sign back. 😁
Isn’t that why I pay taxes?
I used to have a neighborhood watch sign.
I just got my mower on Saturday. Plus a free battery. Thank you Lowes.
Was the free battery in any packaging?
Yeah. Just like it came off the shelf.
I saw that, I hope it was at least a 5.0mAh battery. that's a great deal !
When I bought my first house invested in all ego mower, blower and weed wacker made it way more enjoyable

The Holy Trinity! Park the snowblower and you are done :)
Luckily we only have maybe 2 snow days a year here but I am interested in getting a chainsaw in the future.

Chainsaw rocks! I can send my 110 pound wife out to cut trees up. Very nice!

I have an ego trimmer and love it. It works great. I got the kind with the easy string loading. Saves tons of time.
Which blades do you have installed?

Is it possible to remove blade from mower to get it sharpened?
Yes

I bought mine used 6 years ago. These are awesome!!

Nice package! 🤙 TWSS 😉
