Thanks for watching! Comment below on which mower(s) you'd like to see next!

I bought an Ego mower in 2014. Their product hasn't changed a huge amount, just small incremental improvements over the years. I'm still using the original battery. All of the plastics on the mower are still intact and I've never had to repair or replace anything. One of the best purchases I've made.

"Honey, that crazy neighbor is trying to mow the street again"

I found a 60v Craftsman push mower being thrown away. It didn’t have the battery or a charger but it was practically brand new. It turns out you can’t find replacement batteries for them, and the ones I did find were insanely expensive. I suspect that’s why it was thrown away. I took it apart and modified it to use a 9 Ah 60v DeWalt flex volt battery. They sell cheap battery kits online for RC cars that allow you to directly tap into the 60v from the DeWalt battery. I wired it up to treat the handle bar as a simple on/off switch, bypassing all the built in electronics. IT WORKS! And it works well! I was able to mow 3/4 acre on one charge, and if the battery dies, DeWalt batteries are widely available, albeit expensive but I already had a 60v battery on hand. Modifying the mower probably only cost $10 total.

I switched to Ego about four years ago and have never looked back. All of their tools have been fantastic and reliable

I feel like bonus points should be awarded if the batteries can be used on other tools from the same company. For instance I went with the Milwaukee because i have so many other M18 tools i use the batteries on.

Best review on these things I've seen! Fantastic job. EGO is my outdoor equipment and have been very happy with them. You my friend deserve a beer for such an in-depth review of these mowers...Cheers!!

Appreciate the review. As several others have noted, if you're already in a battery "ecosystem", the price comes down with the shared batteries, plus you can be charging one and using another at the same time. I actually am into two, EGO for yard tools and Makita for shop tools. I've not yet gotten a mower, but it will almost certainly be an EGO when I do. Thanks!

I've definitely been curious about electric lawnmowers. Well done - this was a ton of work - much appreciated! And that EGO thing at the end there, you're a good man :)

Great video and props to you for the 6 hrs of walking. 🥵 Super generous and thoughtful to give the lady the mower. That really made me smile. 👍

Greatly appreciate all the work and time you put into this test! It was very entertaining to watch this lol.

In 2022 I bought, from Home Depot, the Ryobi 40V Brushless 20 in. Cordless Walk Behind Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with 6.0 Ah Battery & Charger, along with a 4Ah string trimmer and edger, blower, hedge clippers and pole saw attachments. The mower doesn't have a 'boost button', but ramps up on its own when encountering tall/heavy grass. I really love this machine! Main thing is to keep the blade sharpened! I get a nice, clean cut! 🙂

Very impressed with the depth, not to mention the passion, of your research efforts. I wasn't planning on buying an electric mower, but this was a half-hour well-spent in case I decide to go this route next mower purchase. Thank you!

Great video! I bought the EGO a couple of years ago. It works great, no issues+the same battery runs the blower, hedger and trimmer. Thanks for the summary.

Man…not only are you clear, concise and honest…you do it with humor as well! Great channel. You’ve earned me as a sub. 😎

Nice job on the comparison. Good info and entertaining. At the beginning of last grass cutting season I narrowed the choices down to the Greenworks, EGO, and the Ryobi which I ended up buying on sale. At the end of the season the Ryobi died. Trying to get it serviced on warranty was a nightmare. Finally, after spending time at two different service centers it was fixed and I’ve used it so far this season without any more problems so far. You should consider warranty information and whether they have a service center near you. While I like my Ryobi, if I was buying again I would have bought the EGO or the Greenworks instead.

I have had 2 green works mowers over the past 5 years, though both 40V brushless not the newer 80V. I only got rid of the original one since we moved and didn't have room in the container. They have both been rock solid and handled everything we have thrown at them and seem like great values for money...

Awesome review and man props to you for giving that older family that EGO mower at the end! Back to the review tho.. I have been using the 60V Greenworks for over 3 years and it’s been nothing but great. Two 5 aH batteries really does the job.

I have the GreenWorks 21" 80v in my Amazon cart now for a week. Was just waiting to pull the trigger. Now that I've seen this review I have no hesitation doing so. THanks.

Thanks a bunch man, keep up the great work! It warmed my heart when you gave it away. Keep it up 🤝

I have the ryobi mower but dont need to use it a whole lot. I went with the ryobi because of the fact that i have many tools that take their batteries. For the 40v line i have 5 other tools that use those batteries. Good comparison on the mowers and a great job on all the work you put in.

Really liked the review… I would have suggested that on “Cut Check” you should have let the mowers without turbo do a second cut OR had the movers with turbo mow on a second plot so they didn’t have the advantage of a “pre-cut”. But having said that, still VERY impressed with the neutrality and transparency of your real-life testing!

The charge time is an important data point. But also realize charging batteries slower is also better for their longevity. This was a very impressive video and had alot of good data! Thank you for your hard work and honest opinions .

Good to see that you came to the same conclusion that we did when we decided to buy a Greenworks 80v about 9 months ago partially because we were able to buy it on sale. It's been an AWESOME mower. You are a GOOD MAN for offering them the EGO mower

I have the 60V Greenworks mower, trimmer, and blower. No complaints whatsoever. All work great! I’ve yet to run the battery all the way down using all three. I would buy again.

Fantastic review! God bless you for being so kind to your neighbors! What a great ending to the video.

I use a 20 inch 40v Ryobi mower with no auto-walk, it still works great after several years of use, always on the same 5ah battery that still works great today. It's so light and simple in its construction I barely notice having to push it unless the bag is totally full of grass. I just empty it frequently and I couldn't possibly ask more of a 200 dollar battery mower. Plenty of power to mow 4-5 inches of grass too, it has an auto turbo mode. I've never had issues with the battery dying, my lawn takes like 30-40 mins to mow and the battery has 2 bars left.

This really lines up with my experience as a Greenworks mower regular user, this exact model. There are occasions when it bogs, and it can take a lot of effort to prevent that in thick or dense grasses. But it can cut my whole yard on a single charge, with good lift. Big win.

Probably one of the most comprehensive test videos I’ve ever seen. Well done!

You should also compare battery replacement cost. After years of using battery powered construction tools (to their death) that cost and how many charges before replacement is kind of important. Great review.

As a Milwaukee fan for literally all my tools, I actually stepped outside the box for this one. I have that exact Ego mower and battery and at first I was not happy with it because I thought it was super underpowered. My lawn is different than others and I had to fool around with the different blade options and discharge options until I got it right. But I also have their leaf blower, string trimmer and snow blower. As a system they are all awesome. Noticed your cummins bag, but no cummins. Formerly MW459 myself.

A great real-use comparison and you definitely went above and beyond with this amazing set of tests. BRAVO! And kudos for giving your neighbor that mower at the end!

I bought an E go after doing months of research. I have watched many videos. I don't regret my purchase. Thanks for the video

I have the greenworks 21 inch self propel mower, string edger and blower with 80 volt batteries. This is my third season and no complaints or issues with this product. I did get a promotion of extras ( batteries and fast charger ) remember to sharpen the mower blade frequently.

Pretty wild test. I already own a ton of cordless Makita tools, so I will probably go with them. I never let my lawn get out of control. It's a battle for best lawn with some of my neighbors. Great video, enjoyed watching! Remember, sometimes it the sharpness of the blade that makes a better cut!

Great video recently bought ego mower, blower, string trimmer and chainsaw and i was amazed . The battery was great, the power is great, silent operation, great cut.

Man I really appreciate the work you put into this video, possibly one of the best reviews I’ve seen done on any category.

You put in some work on this one, nice job! I would love to see more comparisons on how performance changes when bagging or side discharging, as well as using any optional better blades such as high lift versions. I have the Milwaukee mower and have been reading mixed reviews on their high lift blade and whether it is better or worse than the included blade. I never would have guessed the Greenworks would have done so well. I will have to keep that one in mind to recommend to people who ask me, it seems like a lot of mower for the money.

Excellent tests and straight forward real-world explanations.

I bought the greenworks one thinking it used the same battery as my other greenworks yard tools. I was wrong, but it was on sale and I have been super happy with it. Less than $500, it’s super quiet and it can mow the front and back yards without any issues. The only time it ever struggled was when I mowed the lawn after coming home from vacation and the long grass was still wet from rain the night before. 100% recommend it.

Great job!!! Just got the new 84v Green Works unboxed and cut today! Dual Blade 25". First Electric Mower....I absolutely loved it!

Excellent job! I have an older Greenworks that I'm considering to replace. Its still going solid after 10+ years and on the same exact battery! I just want something self-propelled now, so the Greenworks in the video is on my list of options to consider.

I have used a 80v Greenworks Mower for about 4 and half to 5 years and loved it from day one.

Great Vid. Bought my EGO 56 Volt in 2016. I have 1/4 acre lot, which takes almost an hour to mow. I can do the whole thing in one charge. Still have the same battery, and its going strong.

Great review, and it's so very kind of you to give that mower to that couple! I have a greenworks string trimmer and blower. Both do a nice job, so with this review in mind, when a new push mower is needed, it will most likely be greenworks also.

Thanks for the great review for battery powered lawn mowers. I decided the Toro Recycler with Personal Pace was the best battery mower so I purchased one from Home Depot. Great lawn mower very easy to use and extremely well build with plenty of run time for my 60' x 100' lot.

This was probably one of the most well thought-out and entertaining videos I’ve ever seen. Great job bro!!

Thank you so much for this video. Just ordered Greenworks 80V 25"

Your review helped me, very honest and clears out fog from the most gimmicky industry, kudos to you !

I've been a tool snob with my Ego tools for years, but I watched the whole thing just to make sure they were worth being a snob over. Very thorough and great comparison!

Wow, that was really nice of you to give them the Ego mower! It’s a great mower! It does a great job of mulching the leaves into a fine mulch right into the lawn.

This was a great video, it helped me buy my first lawn mower yesterday. Thank you

Thanks for doing this real world unbiased look at these options. It would be interesting to go to each of these manufacturers test facilities with all of the mowers and you perform their particular tests using each one. You know they're doing it!

Great review and breakdown on these Electric Lawnmowers. Although I am not yet sold on these Battery versions and prefer Gas powered I do appreciate your thorough review. I bet you made your Neighbors day bringing over that Ego too.

I have a 1st gen EGO from 2016 still going strong. Last year I had to replace my 7.5ah battery after 6 years of use. Picked up a generic replacement battery off of eBay and I’m still loving this mower!

An entire day of your time doing these reviews. Thank you so much. This is incredible

Great comparison and even better deed at the end! I have the Ego, and have been really happy overall with it.

I love my Ryobi 40v. Bought it 3 summers ago and have not any regrets

Very well thought out. Thanks for doing the tests!

Great comparison! I have the Greenworks 21" deck, 80v mower (arrived before spring this year), has a single 5 Ah battery. It replaced a plug-in Ryobi 16" and I could NOT be happier (unless someone else did the mowing). Our house is on a 13,000+ s/f lot (it was built back in the 1960s when developer greed didn't slap houses cheek by jowl, and the house itself is just under 2000 s/f, but add in garage, driveway, patio and walkway, it's pushing 3000 s/f total), and while I've whittled down the front yard's lawn to encompass the surface roots of the 2 sweetgums in planted beds, it's still an expanse. Same for the backyard minus the trees. The Greenworks will mow it all on a single charge. With the corded Ryobi, it took almost 2 hours for just the front yard due to cord set-up, moving the cord around so that I didn't decapitate my plants. And in the summer heat, that was broken up into a morning and early evening session. The Greenworks? I can get the whole front yard done in 45 minutes! Bigger deck and no cord = winning! The battery charges up in under an hour. I'm utterly thrilled!

One thing I personally like and use on the Makita 4x battery setup is I can be charging 2 batteries while using the other 2. So even though it took the longest to charge technically you could have been using it once the first set was done.

the only gripe i have, with this test (amazing information and work on your part) is that if you test with turbo mode on in one test you should do it for all tests. The video was awesome!

Mate, I subbed and liked just for your supreme effort walking all those miles. Haven't even got to the end of the vid yet!

Great job. Honest comparisons. Really helped me go from gas to electric!

Very interesting. I recently acquired the Makita secondhand, essentially for the price of two perfectly good 18V batteries that came with it. This was my first excursion into battery powered mowers coming from the petrol version Honda Buffalo. The Makita really surprised me in its performance. No comparison against the 5hp Honda for sure, but it did the job easily and quickly as long as I keep the grass generally short. No issues. And because the Makita is so lightweight, I actually enjoy mowing now. In fact, I love mowing. And so, my lawn looks better groomed than ever. Makita is good enough for me.

I really appreciate your honesty, and walking us through your thought process at times throughout the video. Great comparison! I’ve got a 2016 Ego 21 inch mower. Works SO well! Bought it cheap this spring with a dead battery. Bought a new battery and hope to get a good 7 more years out of it.

This review was hilarious and very informative, couldn't stop laughing in the beginning. Keep up the great work! 😂

It is good to see a comparison video done on a well maintained lawn and not a patch of weeds. I've owned two battery powered mowers over the past 12 years. The first was a dual blade Greenworks model which I got rid of after 5 years in favor of a EGO LM2100. It's no secret that the key to a great looking cut is blade tip speed which increases lift, especially on TTTF. To date I've not seen any battery powered mower which could match gas models for that. I cut our TTTF lawn fairly tall (3.5 - 4 inches) and even at that height have been frustrated with the number of "stragglers" left in the lawn by both of those mowers. The EGO is now 6 years old and while it still cuts fairly good at the end of last season I could tell the battery is getting a bit "soft". Over the winter I started researching the competition and was leaning towards the Greenworks Pro 80 volt. Your video, especially the Turbo Button cut, pushed me over the top and last week I sprung for one. We live near the NC/SC state line just west of Charlotte and the soil temps have come up to where the lawn has started to grow from my fertilizer application a few weeks ago and is looking a bit shaggy. Planning on the first mow of the season this week (temps rear 70!) and I'm eager to see how it does. Our lawn is fairly small (3300 sf) so I will be using the Turbo Button the entire mow. Thanks again!

For the scoring, I think it would be better to give a non-relative/non-ranked score for each round. There could be scenarios where #1 is far and away the best, while #2-#5 are almost the same. Then you'd have #2 scoring 4 points while #5 gets 1 point even though they're performing equally. Really great video though, and I appreciate the amount of work that went into making this.

Awesome test! I still put ego at #1 for overall experience and considering a full line up of products. Nice to see for strictly a simple lawnmower job greenworks best bang for buck

Wow! Thanks for the thorough tests. Very helpful

Great video. I'm deep in the Ego universe so it's good to see that it's capable. Although I do have a few small greenworks items that have been incredible values.

One thing that is tough to test across the board on a short time frame but I feel is extremely important is the durability and longevity of the product. If I’m not mistaken the Milwaukee is advertised as a PRO or commercial platform, which would explain the price difference.

On the greenworks it has 4 blinking lights when you charge the battery. So when it charges you can see the status in increments of 25% by the 4 lines... I've been impressed with my greenworks line great product but thank you for this test

The video was quite informative. And I was planning on subscribing at the end of the video. When at the end you gave away the ego mower to that old lady I had to subscribe to your channel that was awesome dude.

This was really well thought out and helpful! Probably the only factor missing is repair history and longevity but that might be asking too much!

Greenworks is my brand. Good to see it performed well. I’ve got the 80v trimmer, edger, chainsaw, and backpack blower. Looks like the mower would be a good addition. GW also makes an 80v zero turn rider. If you get chance, maybe do some side by side comparisons with those. Much pricier test if you’re coming out of pocket though. 😅

Several notes about the Ego, of which I am using essentially the same one you're testing here: 1) You can use up to a 12-Amp battery, giving it a longer cut time; 2) You can add a high-lift second blade under it, designed more for bagging but also works to pick up the grass as you're mowing; 3) a mulching blade is also available, which when used in tandem with the stock blade will improve the cut. 4) Turbo mode (albeit not named as such) is automatic when going into extra thick grass, which is something you experienced in that tall grass test. 5) By painting your grass in those plots, you weighted the blades of grass down, making them harder to lift and cut. I would also suggest letting the grass get at least 1" taller for that particular test, as on video the cut difference wasn't really visible until you kicked in the turbo modes.

One category that should be looked at is the time period or availability of a replacement battery, in terms of service of all the models. This is an important factor as to how long ones mower is going to be inoperative when that day comes, it will come for sure. Another thing is the EGO when the blade is engaged the mower lifts a 1/4 inch or more for comparisons with cuts. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this test !

I loved this video! I’m in the market for a lawn mower and know very little about it. THANK YOU for testing them out and for your review 😃

I ended up getting an 80v GreenWorks several months ago on Amazon at a deep discount… and I’ve been quite happy with it! That was so cool you gave away that one lawn mower at the end!

Very entertaining and informative, but wish the Toro would've been included. I've been thinking of pulling the trigger on the Milwaukee M18, so this was a "mulch-anticipated" comparison (see what I did there?). I really appreciate your energy - Toro should consider using you as a battery.

I subscribed because of the dedication to making the video. Thank you for walking all those miles.

Man I just came across your chanel I'm not a lawn person but to watch you put in so much work to test those mowers 😂😂had to like and subscribe

I have owned the Greenworks 60V dual battery mower for going on year three now. The cut in this thing is amazing. At $450, it included a 5 amp battery, and the additional 6 amp battery cost me another $200. Charge time for batteries of these mowers with swappable batteries shouldn't even be a comparing factor unless they take days to charge, in my opinion. I have a standard suburban property with under a quarter acre. The 5 amp battery is sufficient with dry grass, even when using the self-propelled drive. For wet grass, however, automatic switching to the other battery is nice and more than ample for the yard on a single charge of the combined 11 amps. It even has led headlights. It's foldable and can be stowed on a wall hook. Super lightweight, very maneuverable, and has paid for itself. It came with a five orsix year warranty as well. Overall, i love it. Nice showdown. It's worth noting that Greenworks has 3 different lineups of battery-operated tools : 40v, 60v, and 80v. The 60 is exclusive to Home Depot for whatever reason. The batteries are interchangeable with the same voltage rated power tools, like my brushless Greenworks trimmer, which came with a 2amp battery. That 6 amp battery is heavy, so I don't recommend it for the trimmer.

I bought an ego for $500 and my neighbor has the greenworks. He likes my ego better. He did a side by side and I agree with him. The ego mulched so well there was no indication of grass left behind. His greenworks left clumps of unmulched grass everywhere, especially at each turn.

What a great advert this would make for KZfaq! Can't believe the time you put into creating this. Maybe nit-picking, but would have been nice to hear about the logistics as well - adjusting height, storing/folding etc - just generally what the mower would be like to live with. A brilliant video, thanks for putting this together.

Thanks for the video! That was a lot of work.

I had the same problem with my ego I also have a fescue and kgb and read somewhere that someone changed out the mulching blade for the high lift blade and it worked much better than the mulching blade by lifting the blade up just an FYI

I'm also concerned about battery durability/lifespan. I've had a 60v Greenworks Pro blower since 2019, and the battery is still going strong. No noticeable capacity degradation. Hopefully their mowers are as good.

I use a 60v greenworks 21" push mower with the dual port batteries for my part time lawn business. I get 3.5 hrs of mowing at a regular walking pace with 2 5ah batteries, it came with a rapid charger that will charge a completely discharged battery in about 40 minutes. Used for 2 seasons so far and been very happy with the greenworks products

So glad i watched this video, just in process of buying a battery powered mower...this video is by far one of the best "test" videos.. great stuff...thanks

The EGO and Greeworks batteries have venting and fans to cool the cells of the batteries themselves, which is a big reason the EGO charges so quickly.

I love my Greenworks 80v price was right at Costco.

Darned good review, thorough and fair all in all. Nice touch noticing that the Lady is doing her lawn religiously and giving her the mower, Hat is off to you. Thank you for all the work you put into this.

Just recently bought the Makita 40V Commercial grade mower and it is the best mower I've ever used. Went from a gas Honda to that and it is hands down better in every way. My folks have a Ryobi 40V and although it's nice and will do the job just fine, the Makita 40V is truly a Cadillac mower. Can't speak for their 18V as I haven't used any of them but I do own quite a few of their XGT tool lineup and they have never let me down, they shine through and through. Great video and keep up the awesome content!

After watching this makes me want to stick with my 20 yr old Toro SuperRecyler gasser. I’ve been really thinking about the Ego, but good info!

Ryobi was tested Wrong! This is a pretty awesome comparison between all of these awesome mowers. There were a couple things I noticed. When you did the battery test on the Ryobi mower you only used 1 of the 2 batteries. To use the second battery you need to flip the key around. You got 35 minutes when only using half the life. Also, when you put that second battery on the charger it was already fully charged. The light never started blinking which is what it does when the battery is charging. This is because it was not used on the battery life test.

Thanks for the video. Great comparison tests!

Should have done the entire cut check with turbo buttons, you compared them by doing essentially a second pass on the same patch all of the mowers would have likely left a gorgeous cut on a2nd pass turbo button or not
