Be wary that the Lowes Protection Plan does not fully cover batteries. Batteries are viewed as consumable. Per the T&C, batteries are considered a "Performance part" and you only get 50% off with a cap of $100 per year. So, that $500 battery is going to cost you $400.

Edit - meanwhile my gas zero turn is 10 years old and I will probably have forever with regular maintenance and homeowner use
With that being said and I was in the market for a mower, I'd take the gamble on this vs paying 1200-1600 for a gasser.
What's the best way to haul these home? My local store won't deliver it. Any car rental company with low deck and ramp? I don't want to deal with trailers. TIA

So, economically, I could purchase (if I needed one) a new Honda mower for about $600 OR I could purchase this machine for $2,000. The 10Ah batteries that come with this unit run about $400+ each. When the batteries start dying in 4+ years the costs will be even higher. Assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the batteries all fail at about the same time, and (again) assuming that the mower is still useable at that time, the cost to replace all four batteries will be about $1,700 ... assuming that prices do not rise.
So, to summarize ... $2,000 for upfront costs PLUS an additional $1,700 every 4-5 years. The total cost of ownership of this mower will be $2,000 + $1,700 (year 5 replacement + $1,700 (year 10 replacement for a total of approximately $5,400 vice $600 for a new Honda mower plus new spark plugs and oil changes (incidentals).
Any feedback is appreciated, even negative ones. Based upon my (somewhat limited) four-year experience with EGO lawn tools, this "deal" makes no economic sense to me. I have a lot of money tied up in my current EGo tools and am getting ready to start replacing batteries at great expense. I just don't see it ...
