If your lawn is at all long (and if you are using side discharge, it probably is), it will clog all the time. And on those rare occasions that it doesn't, it will leave rows of clumped up grass because of how little force the discharge has by the time it gets to the back of the mower.
This mower is great for mulching. If your grass is too long for that, then you will be bagging, because side discharge isn't going to happen.

As far as the mower goes, I've been pleasantly surprised. I didn't think I'd like it as much as the Ego, but I think it's better (granted, I have an older Ego that isn't the one in this thread).
Greenworks Pros:
$100 cheaper
8 yr battery warranty through Costco
Seems to cut better even without high lift blade (no mohawks so far)
Button to permanently use full power
Metal deck with true side discharge
Cons:
No self propel without blade running (Egos can do this)
Doesn't fold up quite as small
2 batteries to charge instead of just 1
Self propel speed control is weird—most of the slider is way too slow, and it suddenly jumps to very fast near the end…very fine line on where it feels comfortable to me.
I just wish I had made the swap last year when the mower came with 2x 4.0ah batteries rather than 1x 4.0 and 1x 2.0. It's still enough to cover my yard, but it'd be nice to have a little extra cushion for days where I have to mow tall/wet grass. Also, if it matters to you, the Greenworks is the top battery mower on Consumer Reports right now.
Great info, thanks again.
They are pretty good about replacing batteries when they are within warranty, but you absolutely need to save your receipts (email works). However, one of my purchases was on a refurbished one, and that only has a 1-year warranty.
My father also had to have his replaced after 18 mos which was brand new from Lowes so not an old battery sitting on the shelf or anything.
I love the equipment, I just don't know what's going on with the batteries. Calling them for the warranty is a real hassle too. It takes like 30 minutes of holding and then 30 minutes of talking.
I do see that the aftermarket is getting much cheaper than it was. I had considered replacing the cells, but I think I'll just try an aftermarket pack.
7 ft lb torque vs 6 ft lb torque
7.5 ah blade vs 2x 4 ah blade

It's not $300 for a new battery though- the 4AH one for example is $159 just rando price on amazon right now, it goes on sale cheaper... on top of that Ego tools are popular enough 3rd parties make even cheaper ones (I'm seeing 5-6 AH ones in the 100-120 range right now for example).
How much will you spend on gasoline/oil, spark plug, air filter, etc over 6 years in a gasoline mower?

Fuel cost difference:
Gas push mower: $1.50 per half-acre
Corded electric push mower: $0.50 per half-acre
Cordless electric push mower: $0.10 per half-acre
If we assume you ONLY have half an acre, and you ONLY mow say 30 times a year, that's $42 per year MORE to operate the gas mower. OR $248 over 6 years MORE for the gas mower. Obviously with larger lawns, or warmer areas where the mowing is more than that, the difference is even bigger (likewise if you live on a postage stamp in Alaska or something it's smaller).
Same link suggests about $15/yr on average for gas mower mainteance that doesn't exist on an electric-- so another $90 over 6 years.
That's $338 over 6 years MORE to operate the gas mower.
You could buy TWO OEM replacement batteries for that, or two 3rd party ones with $ left over... and that ignores the fact that over those 6 years gas is likely to get MORE expensive, and batteries likely to get LESS expensive.
This also ignores the time you waste running out to fill gas cans routinely to fuel the gas mower, the fact they tend to take more room to store, the additional noise (and pollution) they put out, and the fact it means you need to be storing gasoline at all. Plus the PITA of a pull starter. There's a reason the folks making these are getting out of the business.
I've only done it once but they did not require you send the old one back
