Battery & petrol mower go head to head
Should you trade in your petrol mower for an eco-friendly cordless one?

I have one of the smaller Ego mowers. It takes about 25 mins to mow our lawn.
I use the mulching plug so can just zoom around the lawn without emptying a catcher.
It does a great job and I have had no issues with stalling. Perhaps like everything else its about getting the right tool for the job. If there are weeks between cutting and/or a rough lawn then maybe an electric mower is not for you.
The light weight, quite running and easy start all combine to make a great product.
I also have the ego multi tool with a pole saw and weed eater using the same batteries as the mower. They all work well although the batter does tend to make them a bit heavy. Without needing to get an extension cord or fuel or anything, I find myself just grabbing them to do something quickly that I probably wouldn't have bothered previously.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ego.
