Being in the DeWalt line, it is difficult to justify more chargers and batteries in a different line and they know it. But, that 650 could be a reason... Smilie ... I really like that zero turn riding mower that says it can mow 2 acres on a charge and quiet. Wonder what a spare battery costs? .... I am betting a lot.
It's six batteries, same ones that power other ego tools.

$5000 for a riding mower?!!! The replacement batteries probably half that cost too. Crazy, I like battery tools but too rich for my blood....

I have an 'estate' driveway aka VERY long and this is the BEST solution we've found by far.

To anyone that denounces EGO, they are clearly a shill/troll. The brand is excellent and has now expanded to Lowes as well as a long time Home Depot placed product.
  • Very very long driveway
  • Blows wet oak leaves
  • Blows leaves in wet Saint Augustine grass (insanely thick grass)
  • Excelleth Lithium battery with a top notch fast charger as their standard
  • Competitively priced per premium product
I love DeWalt but even I wouldn't pick them over EGO even if that meant a different eco system entirely. And thats exactly what I did with zero regrets.

someone needs to beef up if this hurts your wrists. I'm an old guy and I do several yards with the 530. I heard the new more powerful one with heavy 5Ah can be tiresome. I've been using these for years without problem. I had a "highly rated" TORO corded burn out in a year with my home leaf cleanup.

Do NOT buy this.

I have the backpack blower and my dad had this one. The handheld is nearly unusable after a few minutes. The way it twists your wrist and arm just never felt comfortable to me.
I've got the 650 cfm and it's awesome. No twisting of the arm like someone says. I blew off our large driveway, walkway, patio and the battery was still full.

Unless you really need a wireless, and a 50 or 100ft extension wont work for you...Forget it! These are great for light duty time and something not so demanding. I got one, and returned it, got my $100 Toro that is a monster of a machine, gets the job done and keeps on blowing.

Some of these battery run tools are just way over hyped, with stupid expensive batteries, with often short run time. I also got a Ego weedwaker...20min and it started going down hill. LOL...got an electric and its a monster. Put a 60 tool steel blade and its just fantastic!!! Watch the cord!!! Yes, it is something to always be aware...just like cars and crossing streets.
You obviously have never used an ego. Or used it improperly. Nothing comes close to these in power. The blower with the 5amp battery can go for an hour or 30 min in turbo. But you aren't supposed to use turbo unless something is stuck. In high this thing blows things much stronger than my old blower that was rated for 200 mph.

This.

It also breaks every two years, requiring full replacement when all I need is the bottom! Ugh.
The power load is very easy to take apart if needed. Works as intended.

On max speed how long will 2.5Ah Battery run?
There is low, high and turbo so "max" would be high with the turbo depressed. Around 8 minutes of continuous use. In real world application you do not usually have it always on so around 11 minutes for me on a 1/2 acre lot. I have 3 batteries and usually go through 2 with the blower.

The trimmer uses the least amount of power by far then hedger, edger, and blower using the most of the 4 ego tools I have. Still using gas for the mower and chainsaw, but would love the new zero turn.

Oh and I am closer to 60 than I am to 50 and it never hurts my wrist.

On their website it states the warranty is void unless purchased through an authorized retailer. Amazon is not listed. There are Amazon reviews verifying such. I will get this with a price match @ Lowes.

I love all my ego tools. I have the carbon fiber steering trimmer, the edger, hedger single blade mower and 580 CFM blower. And over the course of the solutions picked up a 2.5, 5 and 7.5 battery. And this is for a 1/4 acre lot ~6000sqft to mow.

I'd really like to get the cultivator/tiller, but have either missed the deals or haven't seen any.

With the 7.5 battery and mower for 6000sqft I've NEVER run out of battery. I do feel like the cut quality could be better, I wish there were good 3rd party blades with more lift. I've heard the Toro battery mower has a better cut, but I feel the battery ecosystem in the Ego is probably better.

The blower is incredible.

The edger works great.

The hedge trimmer is a hedge trimmer, these things have probably been battery powered longer than anything so they all work well.

The string trimmer has plenty of power, but I don't feel like it's great ergonomically. I can't speak for the multi head trimmer, but the carbon fiber one isn't terrible to use, but it's definitely not comfortable either. I don't know if the need to move the battery down the shaft or what to help balance it. But this is the only one I struggle with recommending 100%. It's not bad, but not great.

Funny thing, the blower I've found if too close to my head when blowing with my Jabra wireless ear buds, the audio will cut out from electrical interference.

If you have a smaller yard, get a long corded one or a gas powered blower. I have a craftsman blower with a huge lithium battery and it dies within 10 minutes. I can only do half my yard then it charges for 12 hours. Maybe this battery is better.

Just my two cents after I followed a slick deal 2 years agoGiv
Gas tools require maintenance or are throw-away every year or two.
The Craftsman line of everything went downhill many years ago, the name no longer carries the same weight it used to.. and the products, well you've seen that first hand.

Give the Ego a chance and I'm sure you'd be pleasantly surprised.
