I tried some China off brand mower, and what a mistake that was.. Got the EGO instead and I have to say, I am impressed. Not sure why some ppl in here are saying it doesn't work well. My mower and a single 10Ah batt can mow 8200 sq ft. I love this thing. I am going to get their string trimmer next.😁

I have the EGO and it does a great job on dry grass, but bogs down on damp, not wet grass. I usually get 2 full mows from a charge.

I bought an EGO mower this morning before seeing this. It looks like I got a good one. I did a lot of research and EGO was first or second on all of the videos I saw.

I sell mowers and tools for a living and without having actually mowed with any of these mowers, but having learned many of the details about all of these mowers. I’m almost inclined to go with the Ryobi over the other mowers because it has more available choices of tools that use the battery. If that makes sense!
@techietechnews3 ай бұрын
That is a great point! And it was one of the major contributors to having it on our list. Ryobi is not a bad brand, but we feel it doesn't quite match up with its competitors like DuWalt, Makita and Milwaukie in terms of build quality, and it seems the price point reflects that with their tools, generally. However, Ryobi's garden tools seem to be surprisingly really good. None the less, thank you for contributing your point of view and experience with us.

I have a new Toro battery mower, it sucks, drive wheel falls off in 2nd hour, battery shorts, and on-line Toro will not take it back. They do not take items back if you use it for 1 minute! Their rear left geared wheel unbolts itself from the bracket, it self destructs! Two others have the same problem. Their repair dealer literally told me "with Toro, its Buyer Beware". I have a Toro case number, a BBB case number, and a US Consumer Product Safety Commission case number. Save yourself and learn from my mistake, and stay away from Toro.

The only question I have about the toro is how fast can it go? I’ve heard that even on max speed it’s really slow. I would choose the toro if it had speed but if it’s slow I would chose ego.
@techietechnews4 ай бұрын
They don't list their speeds, but from our testing, the Toro felt fine. The EGO was a touch faster, but we believe they limited the speed to help promote the stripe pattern. But it wasn't even a concern to us as no one pointed that out. Some people have their own expectations, you can even see the person pushing the Toro moving at walking speed. If your really serious about buying it, I personally would recommend it. Its a top notch mower! But overall, the Ego is the better mower. The quality on both are great. If you need more info, please do not hesitate to write back! Thanks Milkshake.. Jim at the TTN Team

WARNING: Battery operated tools are for California compliance only, nothing else. In California, most properties with lawns are under HOA's or sprawling condominium/apartment complexes that are professional managed. They have contractors that mow lawns daily for a living. They mow year round since California has a miild winter. Battery operated tools need regular use to get your money's worth out of them. A regular homeowner in middle America that uses their tools occasionally will be very disappointed at the lifespan and performance of the tool. Any store in anywhere else in America is just stealing your money by selling them to you.

Hello there. We appreciate your comment, thank you. However, we do not agree with the opinion that battery operated tools are for California compliance, only. While they may serve towards their specificity of intent, electric tools, even when used seasonally, have already shown to offer cost and time savings over their ICE counterpart. Lithium Ion batteries do not sulphate like lead acid batteries, so they do not diminish at the same rate. Nor do they self discharge at the same rate. Also, the lifespan of electric tools vs ICE is always higher. Yes, ICE prices are always cheaper up front.. But when you include fuel, oil changes and maintenance, Electric will always win in the end. Its just our opinion regarding electric gardening tools.

@@techietechnews It's not opinion, California mandated electric by law. Californians have no Choice on what they buy. That's a fact, not opinion. Battery operated tools cannot compete in the market any other way. They are sold at gun point cause they don't sell any other way.

@@fraudsarentfriends4717 Hello again. As I said, manufacturers did not intend for these products to be used in California, exclusively. Assembly Bill 1346 passed long after everyone was already using electric tools, hence the decision to do so. Again, the statement of these tools only being for California's compliance to this bill we believe is incorrect. Being lawfully ordered to buy a particular type of tool is not the same as being told what to do at gun point. Please do not take what we are saying as disrespect. We appreciate your perspective. However, I doubt we will agree on this debate. I agree to disagree and we can let others decide on what they think. Thank you for the debate and enjoy your day :D Jim with the TTN Team

I bought a EGO and wasn't impressed. The bulky design makes it harder to cut around stuff. Also the lowest mow setting is 1.5 inch but really seems like a 2in. If you have warm weather grass that needs to be cut short this won't do the job.

I am not very confident that Craftsman would function well… Exposed battery compartment seems to be just too risky for any electronics involved in.
@techietechnews2 ай бұрын
That is an excellent observation. However, the protruding prongs are on the top side of the mower, preventing anything from getting stuck in the mower itself. You can literally blow out any debris that happens to wedge it way in. But we agree, we would feel better if the battery compartment have an enclosure. Still, it does work just fine and it wasn't of a concern to use when using it. Thanks for your comment :D Jim with the TTN Team

Listen, the selection is interesting, but you must understand that US has not more than 20% of English speaking population and many of your viewers are from elsewhere. These models, on the other hand, are US market specific and don't include stuff that is not available in the US. Then why can't you just bloody say that in the intro or in the title? I'm not even asking you mention the metric equivalents, which are used by 95% pf the world, that just seems a mission impossible for American reviewers. Why, say, Australian reviewers mention ten times they're talking about the Australian market and even give all the inches and pounds pretty much exclusively for American audience, but Americans never do that?

Hello k.squared. I can understand your frustration, but our audience is North American focused. We do not tell KZfaq who to display our content to, but alas, there it is. We are not familiar with other market equipment, so we are not about to give reviews to products we know nothing about. We simply do no cater to the global market, unless some of what is discuss applies. Adding a metric value equivalent is a good idea, and we will take that as constructive criticism. Ultimately, we are a North American content creator, and that will not change for the time being. Thank you for airing your opinion though. It gives us something to thing about in the future, and should we be in a position to broaden our scope while maintaining our same level of quality / integrity, we may do just that. Take care and enjoy :D Jim with the TTN Team.

@@techietechnews Thank you for the reply. And just to be clear, I was not suggesting you should broaden your scope. All I wanted was a mention this was North American market analysis, that's it. It would still be valuable to everybody else, but would not mislead and irritate viewers outside of US and Canada. BTW, I can see now you're Canadian, but I suspect everybody thinks you're Americans, because that inability to mention the country of origin in an English language review videos (or texts, - same problem there) seems to be an exclusively American thing. Hope you're fine with that ;))

They work just fine. You just need to pick the right battery size for your lawn. And if your lawn is bigger than one or two batteries, just buy more batteries. The point is that they are perfectly viable. Thanks for your input.
