Review of EGO Power 20" Mower

I have owned the EGO Power 20" 56 volt lithium battery-powered mower through two grass cutting seasons thus far, so I wanted to write a brief review.

Like most organic, native plant enthusiasts, I dread lawn care.  I definitely do not want to divert precious compost to the lawn, I loathe the heavy water consumption of the American lawn, and I especially dislike the lawn's less than useful purpose for wildlife.  So, I am vying to reduce the amount of lawn coverage on my property as much as possible.  My basic philosophy is productive, pollinator-friendly plants in, lawn out.

However, some law space is inevitable and for the upkeep I have chosen the EGO Power 20" 56v mower as well as the EGO weed whacker/trimmer that operates off the same battery.  Other than the annoying way in which the company capitalizes its entire name ("EGO POWER"), I have been quite pleased with the mower and trimmer.

The main benefits of EGO are the use of battery vice fossil fuel for energy, the strong power performance of the products, and the suitable longevity of the tools: the mower and trimmer retain power over the course of my 60 minutes or so of yard work.  I use the mower at the highest level and re-circulate/compost the grass clippings back into the lawn.

The trimmer/weed whacker does not have variability in speed, which is a negative, however, its power is certainly capable of getting the job done.
