DETAILS
The EGO POWER+ 21" Select Cut™ XP Self-Propelled Mower delivers 8.3 foot-pounds of torque that exceeds the power of gas without the noise, fuss, or fumes. The Select Cut™ Multi-Blade Cutting System is equipped with three interchangeable lower blades: the Mulching Blade, High Lift Bagging Blade, and Extended Runtime Blade. The Mulching Blade comes installed on the lawn mower and is ideal for weekly mulching, giving you the mulching quality expected from a high-end gas lawn mower. The High Lift Bagging Blade provides extra suction ideal for bagging, leaving your yard free of clippings. The Extended Runtime Blade provides an optimal balance of cut quality and runtime for all around performance. All three blades can be used interchangeably based on your desired cut. The Upper Blade is used in combination with the lower blade chosen to slice the grass into fine fragments, greatly enhancing cutting performance with all grass types. EGO Touch Drive™ self-propelled technology puts complete control of the self-propel system in the palm of your hands by using pressure to engage the system. Easily control the variable speed with a dial positioned at your fingertips for safe and convenient operation. The Select Cut™ XP cordless lawn mower harnesses the power of the industry's most advanced 56V ARC Lithium™ batteries to deliver up to 75 minutes of runtime on a single charge with the recommended 10.0Ah battery. Three-in-one functionality delivers your choice of mulching, side discharge, or bagging your grass clippings; an easy-access two-bushel grass collection bag is included. This electric lawn mower includes bright LED lights for added visibility when mowing at dawn or dusk, and it folds for compact storage between cuts.

And if you do get a bad battery, they replace with a 'refurb' and will not extend the warranty. No bueno.
I'm getting tired of pounding sand, with parried warranty claims.
I dream for consumers to get a universal battery pack, with replaceable cells and put an end to this proprietary Capitalist abuse. Now THAT is legislation that I could get behind.
Well, it turns out the Ego far exceeded my expectations and beat my old gas mower on performance hands down. It's not even close. I let my grass get pretty long between cuts, and the Ego cuts through it with no problem whatever, even in cases where the gas mower sometimes struggled. The torque is just unbelievable.
I can't say enough good things about this mower. Mowing is so much less of a chore now. Much like we're seeing with cars, electric motors have a big torque advantage over old gasoline engines. And the maintenance is virtually nonexistent. No more oil changes or trips to the gas station to fill up gasoline containers. It starts up every time reliably.

Two blades, bigger battery, faster charger. Everything better and I have an older self propelled 1st gen.

I have a large steep hill that runs the full length of my almost 1/2 acre backyard and the torque and power make easy work of it, even better than my old Toro mulcher with B&S gas motor.
The issues I have with this mower are that even though it comes with the Rapid Charger when you need a fresh battery you still have to wait. I use my 5.0 Ah battery as a backup and it still provides plenty of power. So I will cut with the 10 Ah run it until dead and then edge, weed wack and blow while the 10 recharges about an hour. If you have a smaller yard you will have no issues unless the grass is tall and wet.
Other nit picks are: the speed control dial is too easily changed especially if you cut under shrubs and bushes, the first time this happened to me I thought the mower died as I had no movement of the mower. Ego redesigned the dial but from what I read the new control has worse issues and is to be avoided. This mower is FAST I run it at 1/2 - 1 MPH below max speed. The self propel controls are poorly placed IMO and take some time getting used to and these were also redesigned in the new model probably based on customer feedback.
Also the mulching blade leaves stripes so you have to overlap the cut which takes more time. The battery saver blade doesn't cut as clean and the Hi lift blade which is great for bagging leaves in the fall drains the battery in comparison to the other two options.
I really like the mower and it cut 20 minutes off of my mowing time compared to the Toro. The deck height adjustment is so easy, but I have seen others complain that you can not set the wheel height individually if you are cutting uneven areas, but not an issue for me. It folds up compact for storage and cleaning is a breeze.

Costco has the 80v Greenworks on sale from time to time for $449 with 2x 4.0 Ah batteries. They advertise 1x 2.0 and 1x 4.0 but those of us that purchased during the holidays received 2x 4.0. Cuts long grass great and the batteries last plus 8 year battery warranty.
Ultimately I went with this and I would totally buy it at this price
edit:
came back to this.thread to see the discussion taking place and there's a lot of FUD going around that I can clear up.
1. this is more powerful than all of my old gas mowers
2. it can cut through leaves, twigs and sticks easily.
3. battery life is fine 5 months in
4. I haven't had any issues with tall grass. I cut low in the spring and high in the summer and both have been fine.
