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.

I've found most simply don't know what they're talking about (I received incorrect info multiple times), so best to verify with a couple folks and speak to a store manager as well.
Finally, an experienced associate looked in the back and one was still wrapped but needed assembly. Regarding the mowers sitting in the elements for months - if you still want to purchase it, here's my opinion:
- Purchase the Lowe's Protection Plan - I did the 3 year (approx $240). Read through the plan (or use ChatGPT/Gemini/ClaudeAI) to plug it in and ask specific questions). I'm sure it's not perfect, but it does have some decent perks AND ultimately is a small fraction of what it would cost if it were at retail price and/or if you need it fixed.
- Use a credit card (if you have one) that has benefits like warranty extension and purchase protection (AMEX Platinum is great for these items). Also, YMMV but you can get $50 back on purchases over $200.
- Register for the Ego Warranty as well.
It may seem overboard, but this is an expensive purchase and using multiple ways to try and get reimbursement.Other thoughts:
Had one sitting next to this clearance model at my store

Might be worth chatting in if you're looking for one

if EGO refusing to provide the warranty?
The fact that you can extend it another three years after the original five year warranty expires is worth something to me, but do keep in mind it will not apply to the batteries themselves. They will also refund 30% of the plan price if you never use it, and you get 50% (up to $100) every single year on stuff you need to keep the mower going. The list is usually a lot more plentiful for gas models because you need fluids and spark plugs, belts, etc., whereas for electric it is really just batteries. Still, it's a nice savings that can start to pay for the plan itself.
I did pay for the protection plan because of these elements even though I never pay for this stuff for the reasons listed above. Still, it sucks that Citi removed their extra two years of warranty from their Costco Visa. I would have paid with it on that card and declared 7 years of warranty coverage good enough.
