Ego's best residential mower. This model rarely goes on sale (yet) and it appears Ego is hiking the prices on their mowers soon. For context Lowes restocked the LM2206SP and now lists at $1,499. They are releasing a new 30" model next season but it will start at $1,799 for the mower only...<br />

Shipping is an additional $68 but if you join their annual club for $40 (cancellable) you qualify for free shipping.
So while I love ego, I hate the mowers. I'll be first in line to buy a FWD ego mower with 2x 10aH batteries, select cut, etc. though for $999. Any higher and I'm considering a zero turn instead.
I'm a huge proponent of Ego. I have their powerhead, and every tool that goes with it just about. But the mower is literally the one tool that sits and never gets used. I detest mowing with it. While I love self propelled mowers, whoever decided to make it RWD instead of FWD, never mowed a lawn in their life. The move is to push down on the mower to make it wheelie the front wheels up, so you can turn and pivot it around, and start the next run/line. But with ego, if you're using the drivetrain, the RWD just keeps turning and chews on the grass during the pivot. FWD designs don't have this problem, because the turning wheels are in the air. Or lets say you need to get into a bushy bush and mow underneath it. This requires an "in and out" motion. You're better off just disabling the drivetrain here for Ego, because it will fight you trying to pull back the mower. Mowers with FWD assist you in getting underneath, then a little push down to get the front wheels up and pull back, and go again. Much quicker and efficient.
