EGO POWER+ Select Cut™ 21" Self Propelled Lawn Mower Starter Kit

First mow

Finally got a chance to try it for the first time, and I was pretty pleased. I was mulching and had no issues. Took about 45 minutes to do the whole lawn and the battery still showed better than 50%, so that was nice to see. The only thing that was tricky to get used to was self propelled. The mower that this replaced was a Honda and the self propelled feature on it was very intuitive - didn't even have to think about it. The fact that it was variable probably helped with that. What I found with...

A lot to like--but one buying consideration

Quick, easy set-up out of the box (mangled by FedEx). The mower is blissfully quiet after a gas mower and stores upright, easily, in a very small amount of space. If using two batteries, by the time you've come close to discharging the second, the first one will be recharged again. I find the cut slightly less crisp than what my old gas mower produced, but it's a small price to pay for all the pluses. One consideration: the Ego mower is exceptionally light and easy to push, to the point where I ...

Good, but could be better

I've used the mower twice at each of two properties. The mower's deck size is misleading because I have to overlap each path by at least three inches. There are also sporadically missed clumps of grass. It would also be nice if there was a clasp of some kind to lock the handle in-place rather than having to have a secure grip on it, because a lot of times, the slightest release on the grip stops the machine and you have to restart it. The handles have only two positions - fully extende...

Battery is horrible!! Charges when it wants to!!

Their battery and charger gives me a hard time!! The battery compartment is not vacuum tight. Dust gets in there. The bottom deck has weird crevices and very hard to clean. The top grey part gets soooo dirty so fast. Impossible to clean!!! It stops too many times on tall grass. The blade gets too dirty!!! The handle is not adjustable for short people like a normal handle. The battery works a VERY short time and takes forever to charge. They miss-advertised: the battery is NOT enough for 1/2 acre...

Nice not to need non-oxygenated gas any more

I cuts my lawn better than my old gas mower BUT my gas mower had a feature where you could control the speed continuously; this mower only goes at the constant speed you set. Works well for straight lines but not at all for going around curves. You need to essentially push it around curves to prevent it from taking off like a rodeo bucking bronco. The 7.5AH battery does not quite last for mowing my lawn (90' x 150') so it's a really good thing I bought the mower during a sale where an additio...

This mower is DANGEROUS

It is impossible to maneuver this mower without using the self-propelled functions, which has caused me to run into trees, shrubs, and ditches. The self-propelled function is not responsive to normal expectations for movement. It is slow to engage and way too slow to disengage. I have NEVER used this mower without coming away bleeding from collisions with vegetation. Second, it is impossible to hold the handle of the mower WITHOUT engaging the self-propelled buttons (poor placement) causing the...

Failure

I purchased an EGO 800 series lawnmower in late June 2026. I was very pleased when I first used it but it began to operate erratically. The unit would not allow me to pull the unit backwards even though the drive handle was disengaged. Next it would not engage the blade on command. Then, with the power off, I could not push the mower as the drive would engage. I returned the unit for a full refund. I had high hopes but was very disappointed with the ERG 800 Series electric lawn mower

Will not run after third use.

I purchased this item after my gas lawn mower of 14 years failed to start. I did my research and this brand was at the top of the list. The new gas lawn mowers did not have good reviews so after much consideration I decided to get this one. I have a small lawn, less than 2,800 square feet. I have used the lawn mower three times. The fourth time I was going to use it, it would not power on. The led lights work, the self propelled function works, but the motor that rotates the blades does not ...

Terrible cut!

This has to be the worst lawnmower purchase I've ever made. It scalps the yard in one direction and barely cuts it in the opposite direction. Cuts so uneven, it makes the yard look terrible. Cuts out frequently when using the bagger. Highly recommend going with something else. Apparently EGO only allows you to review on their website within the first 30 days. When I went in to review, it said the timeframe to review had expired. Like I would know if it's any good within 30 days.

Uneven cutting

I have been using this mower since the end of May. I am finding in the mulching mode I have to make repeated overlapping cuts to get an even cut. The mower is easy to using and the battery life is good for several mowings. Found out from a friend that one his batteries failed after several years and according to EGO the batteries need to be kept in a climate controlled environment. Too much heat or cold degrades them. Would have been nice to that pre purchase!
