I've been looking for a deal on an EGO mower and I think this is the best bang for buck I've seen for a while as this is selling at total tools for $899 at the moment. Kit includes the mower, blower, 5.0Ah battery and fast charger as well as an ego hat. Comes in quite a large box so be prepared to have a bit of room in your car or just take the box apart and put the pieces in like I did. Happy hunting!

NB. The price will come up as $679.20 initially, but tools warehouse have a deal on where if you spend more than $500, you get 75 back.

Update: Out of stock online. Store pickups only.

          NO, just the A series battery that clicks in (Pro version). Its… okay … just. Its convenient but not that powerful IMO. I had an old battery one from Masters an 80V that was great (lost it in the bushfires of 2020). The Sthil is 36V (I misspoke it is an 86 model not a 100 series)

          You can get the 100 series with a battery backpack and run them all day with a plug lead, you can use the battery backpack on hedge trimmers, polesaws, whipper snippers, chain saws etc

          I have the Sthil 120 battery chainsaw as well. Its great … for a battery saw

    This website is messy. It says to refer to the Ts&Cs page for more info on the offer but this sale doesn't appear in there. The main site also mentions free shipping over $99 with exclusions applying but no info anywhere (that I can find) about what said exclusions are.

    Having said that, $75 discount does apply in cart. Shipping to Brisbane at $88 does hurt the value tho.

  • superroach on 12/01/2024 - 13:08

    That's a pretty good deal. The batteries alone are expensive AF, and rarely go on good sales. I have the mower in this one, and rely on a 2AH and a 4AH battery combined, and it makes for hot potato swapping. Works but a 5AH would be great.

    Mower itself is powerful enough to make good work of lawns, just be careful of going after the rain - like normal petrol mowers, but it's still a tad less powerful than one of them.

    • Hinee on 12/01/2024 - 13:11

      At this price would you impulsively jump on? I've been in the market for a good quality electric mower for months and have really been looking above the standard Ozito/Ryobi range. I don't really need the blower.

      • BlackorRed on 12/01/2024 - 13:39

        Yep. I've got a self propelled 36v Ryobi and 56v Ego - both with 51-52cm decks.

        Their is absolutely no comparison and the Ego makes lawn mowing a relative joy compared to the Ryobi…

      • cerealJay on 12/01/2024 - 16:06

        lol they both mow the lawn, they're eating their own patch of grass for breakfast.
        They all use similar battery and motor tech, weigh about the same, cost similar, have similar no-load rpm, mulching, catching, etc.
        Might even come down to whether you like the bright green ryobi vs ego's grey. I have the Ryobi and it performs well but I prefer ego's grey. Both brands are guilty of slapping huge logos on the grass catcher. It's not enough you pay the initial bucks you must advertise the brand to your neighbours! Unless you get a black marker pen and go to work.

        • AaronR on 12/01/2024 - 16:24
          +6

          You should try an Ego. I refuse to believe you’ve used both and consider them similar.

          My Ryobi 36v was like a blunt set of primary school science project robotic scissors compared to the Ego.

          • UncleRico on 12/01/2024 - 16:54
            +2

            @AaronR: Agreed 100%. Anyone who really thinks that the colour scheme is the biggest difference, has clearly never tried using both of them to the mow the lawn. The experience is day and night.

            My 36v Ryobi feels like a rickety, plastic toy compared to my 56v Ego, and despite the lowest cutting level being appreciably higher than the Ego, still regularly loses torque on both the cut and propulsion - stalling and scalping the lawn. Catcher and deck size is similar, but that's where the similarities end. Whilst the Ego was over 50% more expensive, just as its battery has more than 50% more voltage, it results in a cut and an experience that is considerably faster, as well as infinitely more pleasant and productive. Best of all, the extra 20-30mm it takes off the lawn means it's a process that I end up spending less time on, and repeating less frequently.

            In my experience, the comparison is more akin to comparing apples with lamingtons. Unlike the 36v Ryobi edger, which is an outstanding bit of kit. Again, it's certainly a lot more plastic-ky than the more solid Ego multi-tool edger, but still does a very good job without suffering from the performance issues that the mower does.

            @AaronR: Me three. Absolutely nobody that has bought and used the Ryobi 36v tools and tried equivalent EGO models thinks they are similar. I have tried 36v Ryobi and Stihl and 18v Milwaukee tools and it's just chalk and cheese. EGO wins hands down for power, runtime and durability. Even their Z6 42" zero turn is great (but its runtime is shorter than I would like), I prefer using it to my old 72" Toro (and now Ferris) petrol mowers, but I need the bigger units to do larger areas (and I have been SUPER hard on the EGO zero turn, and it has never had a problem).

            My Ryobi 36v was like a blunt….

            What model? Blades go blunt in any mower after awhile that's why they're a replaceable part.

            It's like talking to an Ego mower salesman! Hyperbole me the wonders of Ego while trashing the competitor! Tell me more about your brand loyalty! :-)

            I owned a Ryobi entry level 18v mower from 2014 or something. It died after quite a bit of abuse and difficult lawns. Now I got the newest 36v, which has improved no-load rpm, 46cm blade, and can draw power from two batteries at once. It's a solid mower. I'd never go less than 46cm. This Ego model is only 42cm blade, it doesn't make the cut! But enjoy your less powerful 42 Ego, I'm sure it eats little old ladies front lawns for breakfast!

        • msze on 13/01/2024 - 06:11

          Happy with my Ego Mower (blower, line trimmer, and hedger). It has been fine with long grass, as well.

          Mower is model LMLB1903E-SP.

          Have to say that the self propelled mode is great with a sloping backyard.

          I do have an issue with one of the chargers not charging but have two more as part of package deals so haven't bothered to return it.

          • HelpMeiCantSee on 13/01/2024 - 07:54

            @msze: Same. The 52cm cut is awesome, plus I got twin 10Ah batteries with mine (-SP2 part number). It chooches. I’ve mowed my sisters 3 acre property many times, including the first tidy up where grass was multiple feet tall in places.

            I would argue it has more power than most petrols, and runtime is a non issue with multiple batteries, but way way better than I ever expected regardless. In every way!

      Just for the future, just like EV cars, don't run the batteries down to empty regularly or let them sit at full charge for long periods. Its a bit annoying to keep them between 20-80% charge, but they last far longer if you do.

    I’ve been looking into the Ego range but only thing stopping me is the aftercare. Lots of negative comments online about their batteries as seems quality has dropped.

    Looked at the Ryobi range and Makita at Bunnings too. Not sure which to get yet. I do like Bunning’s return policy.

    Need to go in store to check out the Ego range as I found the blowers can be very heavy but Ryobi has a lighter version which was ok

      I went through the same process when trying to pick an ecosystem of higher voltage garden tools. Ended up going for Ryobi via Bunnings for the ease of returns if something goes wrong. Only got a line trimmer so far but it’s going well. Mower and blower are next cabs off the rank

      • Dollar General on 12/01/2024 - 14:03

        Which line trimmer did you get?

        I’m after a line trimmer & blower to start off with. Most likely will go with this blower https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-hp-6-0ah-brushless… Was originally going to go with the bigger one but it was just too heavy for what I need

        • Illtemperedseabass on 12/01/2024 - 14:15
          +2

          The line trimmer is this one: https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/36v-brushless-stra…

          I have kikuyu grass so wanted something with power and a thick line to smash through it when I’ve been lazy and left the lawn too long. The brushless also made sense for run time, as I didn’t want to charge mid way through trimming and edging.

          Pretty happy with it but I’m starting from a low base of Ozito line and grass trimmers.

            @Illtemperedseabass: I've tried that Ryobi 36v model and the equivalent 56v Ego line trimmer in quick succession, and they're pretty much on par in my opinion. I think the ergonomics and overall weight of the Ego was a bit better, but the Ryobi started faster and seemed to handle heavy cuts better.

            Don't bother with the 18v Ryobi line trimmers though, they're very underpowered. The 18v Ryobi blower is okay but not great.

      If it helps with your decision, I was also going through that same decision-making process and went with Ryobi from Bunnings with the same thought process as @Illtemperedseabass.

      I've had my 36V line trimmer and blower for about 4 years now and the original batteries are still going, although I anticipate I'll be due for a replacement pretty soon.

      Don't buy the 18V garden tools, unless you have a really small area to cover, which in that case you might as well be doing it the old fashioned way. The 18V blower feels like a toy compared to the 36V.

    I have this mower and do not recommend it for anything but lawns less than 60m2 and no buffalo type grasses. It’s just not powerful enough to mulch unless you want to mow 3 times per week.
    I tried the 47cm and felt it wasn’t much more powerful. However, the 52cm SelectCutXP is certainly worth buying if you want to mow your lawn quickly, mulch no more than once per week and possibly enjoy your time mowing.

That said, I try to mow every second week but even if I let it go for a month it's still fine, just might take a little longer.

      Important point though I'm not mulching the grass, just catching the clippings and putting them in the green waste bin.

    I have this mower and blower kit, bought it 2+ years ago. It’s fantastic for my small yard (approx 100sqm) and always does a neat job. The plastic deck is great as it makes it lighter to lug around, and the blower is really quite powerful.
    If you’re out of town and mowing larger yards or tougher grass you’re probably better off with a petrol mower, but this is a great kit for inner suburb lawns.

    I upgraded to this from one of those Bosch 1400w corded mowers and its a big upgrade. Great at 679 or 609. I paid 849 FWIW.

        Oh its always a pain in the arse :)
        We're not inner city.. About 12kms from the city actually.. I grew up in a regional place with a giant back yard so this is small in my experience.. Everything in its perspective though! Either way, having a nicely mowed back yard is a nice feeling.

      I agree about the plastic deck - was my biggest hesitation when purchasing but it turns out to be one of the best advantages! So light that I can actually pick the thing up and store it on a shelf, saves precious garage floor space. I wouldn't dream of doing that with my dad's steel deck mower.

        Yeah I was about to buy a Stihl battery mower, which was really quite good and powerful, albeit a little more expensive. The steel deck on it made it way too heavy for my needs. If I lived on a larger lot where I had a shed and easy storage (and level-load) I'd probably go for the Stihl products, but the Ego stuff is great for what I need.
        Its a big step up from the Ryobi and similar tier stuff.

    It might be worth asking instore if purchasing $500 worth of gift cards gives you $75 off. I purchased 5x $100 gift cards online last week & received the discount, then made a purchase online & received the $75 discount aswell. Saved $150 all up.

    I've has 2 ego mowers in the last 7 years. They are a great mower if you're not into your lawn. The first was a lightweight 49 cm unit that was really good until spring then it would stuggle doing a weekly cut of Kikuyu and struggle to suck up the clippings. It was light so you could make dance around obstacles which was a positive and also a negative. Once the catcher filled it would become rear heavy and the front would bounce giving an uneven cut. The front overhang was frustratingly large.
    6 months ago i then bought a select cut self propelled 52 cm model as I was recovering from a broken leg. Another great mower if you just want to mow and dont care for the result. Its very powerful. It has Large overhangs, is heavy, aand has absolutely pathetic range of cut heights. 7 heights 1 is ok 2 is way too long and then you get 5 cow paddock settings. The mower is heavy and skids on damp grass/dew. Even though it is a select cut model (2 blades) the lawn only looks good for 1 days max. Other mowers including my old ego give me 3 days at least . The plastic chassis is fine and shouldnt put anyone off.

    As i said they are good mowers if all you want to do is cut your grass and dont appreciate the qualities of a well designed mower.

      Electric mowers certainly aren't for anyone seeking a felt-level low cut. But if you favour a thicker, lush grass, you won't have any concerns with the finish. Are you using the default high-lift blades or regularly cutting moist grass?

      Two things I learned to refine for a better cut after my early months with the Select Cut;

      1) If seeking a lower cut, carry a spare battery on top of your deck whilst moving - the extra weight drops the cut by around 10mm so you can get slightly lower.

      2) Electric mowers do not play nicely with moisture. Long grass, thick thatch, steep inclines are not an issue, but if someone has so much as spit on your lawn in the preceding day - the process gets ugly. Early morning dew or even the remnants of a shower half a day ago will drastically reduce the effectiveness of the mower. Grass sticks to the polycarbinate deck, the catcher chute clogs and wheels will spin on damp grass. But none of these issues repeat when the lawn is dry. I have no drama with the power or the cut height when the weather's fine, but have learned to put off the mow till tomorrow if there's been any sign of rain.

        Good idea re the battery on top. Ill give it a try. Im at the point where im considering selling it. The wider cut and extra weight of the self propelling mechanism and the large overhangs make it a pain to negotiate the 12 sleeper corners I have to deal with. I find it pretty good when damp but not as good as a ICE mower. The select cut vacuums up clipping and debris very well. The older one is not so good. Although I did notice a dramatic improvement using the new 6ah battery instead of my 4 ah 4 year old batteries.
        I still cant believe how useless the cut heights are. Even old Victas and masports had 20 height setting that were MM apart.
