00000All-time low according to CCC. No charger, no batteries. Good deal if you're already in the system for other tools that have been on sale recently. 60m of cutting with the 7.5ah battery, probably significantly less with the other smaller batteries.

I have really enjoyed the entire Ego lineup. I've picked up quite a few bare tools and some with batteries. The lawnmower really benefits with purchasing with the battery. Larger tools usually come with the 7.5 which helps in longevity. I have 3 of the 5s and 1 of the 2.5s. My snowblower runs solid on two 5s, even with the wet Iowa snow.

Purchased my mower back in 2016 and still running that 5.0 with a solid amount of life still in that battery.

I have the Ego weeder, trimmer and blower... I have 3 chargers and 3 batteries so i am assuming this would be ok? but they are only 5ah batteries and i have read some reviews that some are getting 15 min of time out of the 5ah and EGO response was " yes please use the 7.5ah for best performance...

Mine came with a 7.5 but I will use the 5.0 when I forget to charge the 7.5. Probably around 35-40 min runtime, but I also don't let my grass get crazy long before cutting it.

Own a bunch of Ego tools and batteries; no complaints regarding dependability so far, my oldest batteries are about 4 years old and still holding a decent charge knock on wood

I've got the ego 21" single blade version and am thinking of upgrading to this one for leaf mulching this fall. Anybody have experience with both confirm this is a big upgrade in the mulching department? Thanks
You could upgrade the single blade to the new dual blade. A lot cheaper than buying a new mower and the dual blade works great on the older single blade mower. You need to buy the new mulching blade and a few items (shown in the video and first comment). There are other videos showing the retrofit...

After owning several Ego tools for many years, Im reconsidering them as a go to tool brand. The reason being is battery life and prices. I have four Ego tools and now only one battery that is still working. From a cost perspective, buying a different brand that charges far less for batteries, and tool, is worth considering. ie SD Walmart cordless mower on clearance recently for only a $130 with 6ah charger. Easy returns and 5 year tool and 3 year battery warranty, same as Ego.

Try tweeting them. I did and got a new battery. Mine was still under warranty but was down to half capacity. It took a little back and forth but they eventually did the right thing.

Well, I guess YMMV for these - I switched to an Ego mower 3 years ago...and doubt I'll ever look back. The convenience, ease of use, lower noise, and lightness of the mower have converted me. This year, I noticed my battery has a slightly lower charge than when new, but is still sufficient for my relatively small yard (~1/4 of an acre).

When done, I just put the battery on the charger (in basement) and leave it there until I need it again... Zero maintenance so far, though I may get a new set of blades after this season...

Thanks! My ego is now about 5 yrs old. I ordered the parts (about $70 total) to make it dual high lift blade. Hopefully it doesn't ruin my battery run time.

The other big names like Milwaukee, Dewalt, and Makita don't really charge less per AH on their batteries. They don't even have batteries as big as Egos in their lineup.

So, unless you are willing to sell items from those other brands, and settle with their inferior outdoor tools, not a good route.

I'm not saying every tool they have is inferior in the outdoor tool realm, but most are.

I almost hesitate to post this out of fear of jinxing it - but I'm in the same boat as you.

I had to look it up and I'm at just under 5 years with my Ego mower. I have the 5.0 battery (this was before the 7.5 even existed). I've since also purchased the blower with a 2.5 battery - and the powerhead kit with a weed trimmer, edge trimmer, pole saw, and cultivator attachments.

The mower and batteries haven't given me any issues yet. I did have a powerhead/multi-head that died on me last year, but I'm buying another one because I have all of the attachments and they work really, really well for my less than 1/2 acre.

Ridgid, Dewalt, Milw, Ryobi, Hart.. often have great deals for bats or tool(s) with bat deals. A few years ago Ego did also. And I have Ridgid bats that are over 10 years old, used and even abused, and still working unlike Ego bats that are less than 5. Is Ego worth the premium price? Not any more.

That Hart cordless mower with 6ah bat @ $128 shipped works great and typical of the non-Ego future.

If others prices go down for lawn tools, Ego's will too, to be competitive. Even on a good deal from Milwaukee earlier this summer, it was 199 for the trimmer, 8 ah battery, and charger, and you had to return an extra battery to get that price. Ego regularly has their trimmer combo for around 170, and it doesn't melt batteries, like Milwaukee, and is rated by every website that I have seen as better.

Yes, Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Makita have good deals, but you have to flip stuff. Dewalt is mostly a joke in the lawn equipment world, though. Ego's blower is almost 50 percent faster than Milwaukee's new double battery blower. That is a joke. How much will that blower cost with two big batteries and charger, to still be that inferior? I take it you don't care about performance too much, either.

Ego 5 Ah battery is cheaper, second hand new, than Milwaukee. People sell a 5 ah Ego for around 175. It has 280 total watt hours. Milwaukee 12 ah sells for a little more, and is less watt hours at 216. No, thanks.

I see you ignored the longevity of Ego bats as compared to others. And your price point and special deal math makes no sense because your cost basis is inaccurate given you focus on Milw and not deals. This is Slick Deals, have you forgotten. And whats with buying used bats as an example.. hahaha

Those aren't used batteries I was referring to. You should know that by the price. It is people who buy a tool and battery combo, and sell their battery for less than the store.

I would guess you are a DIYer. Therefore, if you use your Ego batteries every weekend, as opposed to your carpentry batteries when you have occasional projects, obviously the Ego batteries will not last as long.

I love how you ignore the fact that Ego still has good deals. There is a blower deal for a blower on Slickdeals, right now, that is more powerful than Milwaukee's current 1 battery Fuel blower. If you sold the Ego battery, second hand, the blower would come out to be about 95 dollars. That is about 5 dollars more than the typical hack deal for the Fuel blower at Home Depot. If you want to settle for crappy specs over 5 dollars, I won't stop you from being a fool. I referenced the Milwaukee deals on HERE, again. The Fuel blower has been about 85 or 90 dollars, best price, after Home Depot hack.

Some of you have mentioned the cold, but I think that heat is much worse for batteries. I found that out real quick with my Ryobi One 18v trimmer and blower (which I still use with new batteries) when I bought my first house 12 years ago and would pop them in the charger in a detached garage immediately after using them in 95°+ heat. Bought them in June and the larger of the two was dead by the following spring. (HD gave me a new one at 50% off, though.) Now my yard tool batteries charge and are stored in air-conditioned comfort and I've seen little degradation, even on the 56v 7.5 Ah battery for my SD-sourced clearance Craftsman V60 self-propelled mower.
