Kobalt 80-Volt Max Brushless 21-in Self-Propelled Cordless Electric Lawn Mower 6 Ah (Battery Included and Charger Included) $449
$449.00
I am new in the market for a battery mower. I am going to pick among this, Ego LM2135SP, and Greenworks 80v deal from Costco. This will be my first time owning a mower. Based on my limited knowledge, I think these three are pretty close.

got it at that hot sale and was like $250.
mine has two 2.5 amp hour batteries so this single 6 should be great as well.
also got to matching weed eater string trimmer on sale for $200 ! few months later.
both are excellent tools.
both match gas counter parts, I would say the mower is comparable to 5 horse power gas.
if you need one right now it would be a good deal to have for the next several months before they go back on sale if you can't wait.
I missed out on the blower last year's clearance, hopefully it will come back.
alao waiting on chainsaw deal.
Also have heard these batteries work in 80v Greenworks tools with a little modification, so that may be another option to continue investing in this system.

I can mow the whole yard on a single 2.5Ah battery, and don't have to wait for charging when the trimmer and blower each have their 2.0 batteries charged. I have a smaller yard though.
Kobalt does continue to come out with new tools, last year they introduced a new trimmer and blower model in a package. It's not abandoned, but it is also not a top priority, especially with Lowe's buying EGO exclusivity.
As others have mentioned, there are basically re-branded Greenworks tools (Snapper is another re-brand). They can be made to work cross brand by removing tabs on the batteries.
I am happy with mine and will use them as long as I can, however I would not pay this price. The 6.0 battery is a huge win, although this exact set was on clearance at the end of season for like $200.
If I had to pay this price, I would definitely look at a different platform.
Definitely super happy with it. Zero maintenance. Lasts a while. Lightweight. Vertical storage. Overall great purchase.
One thing to note is that I had two 2.0 Amp batteries with 1 charger. My 1/8 of an acre would consume both batteries with one narrow side of the yard left to mow. I started consuming one battery, using the Kobalt trimmer, using the second battery, then go back to the first on that very last section since it had enough time to charge.
I recently got an 80v blower that came with a 2.5A battery and haven't run out of juice using the 2.5A and one of the 2.0A batteries.
One more note is that the battery won't charge when hot, so make sure you charge inside your home. Also, seems like the battery life is shortened if you leave them in the heat. Since learning this we moved them from the garage/shed into the coat closet.
