Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
They all need to be stored straight since they require bolt/nut to be removed in order to fold.
ST1620T ($199) is the top of the line this year. 16", Carbon Fibre shaft, Powerload(string auto wind), and Line-IQ (auto feed string)
ST1520S($149) is previous top of line. 15", CF shaft, Powerload, but bump feed.
ST1500SF($99) is basic model. 15", manual sting load, and bump feed.
CF shaft is stronger, but does not have much weight benefit.
EDIT: 1620 also has telescopic shaft, if you are height challenged like myself.
The EGO POWER+ 56-Volt 14-in Brushless Cordless Electric Chainsaw 2.5 Ah (Battery & Charger Included) is only $20 ($219) more but includes the battery. Much better deal IMHO. https://www.lowes.com/pd/EGO-Powe...1003130712
The 18" saw is much more saw than the 14", so it only applies if you're getting this for occasional yard work.
Has anyone actually pulled the trigger on the Ego zero turn mower? Just bought a 1 acre property, and need a mower. Just trying to figure out if it is worth the $$$...
Early last year I bought a place with just under 3/4 acre. Yard work was taking several hours every week over the summer, so I picked up the 42" Z6 in January. It's definitely overkill for my yard, but that's hardly a complaint.
Is it worth the $$$? Probably depends on your situation. You're paying a serious premium for an electric zero-turn vs gas with similar capabilities. I don't have any gas tools, so not having to deal with gas, oil, engine maintenance, etc. was a big factor. Also, my other gear is Ego, so the compatibility was a selling point. (That said, the 10Ah batteries get pretty heavy in a lot of other tools.)
With regard to results - My yard takes about 1/3 the time it used to, and the mowing is a breeze. The batteries still have 50% or so after the whole yard is done, and they charge in a hurry. My only gripe is relatively minor, and I don't regret the purchase at all.

Thanks! I had a ¼ acre at my old place and a greenworks push mower and it never made it through on 2 of their big batteries, so it was a constant fight. I sold it when we moved and have started switching to Ego, so it think I'm going to have to give the Z6 a closer look!

I have four (4) Ego lawn tools ... the trimmer, the edger, the blower, and the hedger. The edger is great. The blower is good. The hedger is good. The trimmer is not-so-good. The main issue with the trimmer is the head sucks. Avoid this tool!
I have all of these as well. I have the 15in whacker that does not have the power load head and it gets jammed all the freaking time. It's dang near impossible to feed line while whacking. Im tempted to get a new one with the powerhead to see if that is better.

I have about 1/4 acre and never had any issue with the 7.5Ah Ego battery running out, unless I let it grow too long and the mower has to work extra hard. Issue is that it takes me 45-60 min to mow. Zero turn would be overkill. Ego really need to come up with a midfield mower with a larger deck (similar to Toro Timemaster)

I have the power load and its so easy. Takes me more time to pull a new line and cut it than to load it in 15 seconds. Run out of line, you just smack it on the ground and it feeds more, lol. Fantastic.

Does this blower do the job on a large yard with lot of heavy leaves and debris? How often the battery and charger deals for EGO brand?
I do not have any battery or gas operated tools, looking for a blower to simplify my leaves racking job.
It does well for home use and smaller jobs. I've only run the batteries out with the backpack blower once or twice but I was using it straight for nearly 45+ minutes.
a $600+ gas blower is going to be nearly double the power and make you deaf for the day.

Looking to gift my father an Ego system (lawn mower, blower and string trimmer, etc) Trying to see if the +$50 is worth the difference.

The 18" saw is much more saw than the 14", so it only applies if you're getting this for occasional yard work.
Even better at Amazon (seems to have matched the prices) at $215 for the chainsaw+battery
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0102PWY38 - With battery ($215)
Here is only the saw:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O9XTAGY - No Battery ($199)
