Not sure if it has always been like this, but Home Depot has the EGO Backpack blower with 7.5 Ah Battery and Charger Included same price as 5.0 Ah. $299. Other retailers have it for $399

https://www.homedepot.com/p/EGO-1.../307731925

https://www.homedepot.com/p/EGO-1.../207203612

I got a 15% coupon from auction site for ~10 and saved ~45

Not the best deal and I was planning on waiting for end of season, but I've had my eye on one for awhile and just decided to go for it.

Edit: added screenshot of order
Good Deal?

I've tried this blower and it was good. But definitely not worth $300. On the other hand, that 7.5 battery ...

$299 for me zipcode 43528. You can get it shipped to your home as long as you change your "home store" to one who has it marked down before checking out.

Including a slightly larger battery by way of disguising a sales promotion to move units, is the deal worth it?

Sit tight. Resist the urge. The deals will go much deeper. Late September... you'll see.

If you got it for $299 - your $35 net coupon or $264, that's a fantastic price.

For $299, the mower can be had with 7.5 battery before. I would hold off on purchasing if not urgent. This will go lower.

I'm thinking the same, unless Ego takes back stock (which I doubt) HD will be stuck with a line they are discontinuing.

Just not sure it works because the more they sell, the less likely people buy into Ryobi ecosystem.

I agree.

It's also $299 in store in NJ for the past couple of weeks. Brickseek has it listing as "clearance" for some stores while other stores it is listed as $299.

The price at stores reported as "clearance" by Brickseek is currently $299.

I think in store price will go lower especially at the "clearance" stores given HD is no longer carrying EGO products.

Where have you found the mower with battery for $299? I can't find it anywhere.

Last year. That's when I picked it up.
