Includes 7.5ah battery and rapid charger. Not familiar with this model but looks look a budget version of their 52cm line. Less power and not select cut but lightest in the range.

Cost to replace 7.5ah battery is $480.
Holy Jesus š¤Æ
Thanks guys for mentioning the cost of the replacement battery. I'm out
what the hell were you expting them to cost?
Look at what a 12V 12Ah (144Wh) DeWalt or Milwaukee battery cost, of course a 56V 7.5Ah (420Wh) is going to cost something like that.The batteries have not come down in cost since I bought into the AEG 58V system(an analogy).
Seems the companies are price gouging and not lowering prices to consumers.
Isn't the wholesale price for batteries supposedly plummetting?
It's been disappointing.
@Dirkmirk: I import and distribute a few battery brands, no, we are not seeing any price reductions, in fact we have had some price rises.
As a EGO user myself, some might disagree but personally I reckon their products are way overpriced in Australia hence I have have been looking at FB marketplace for like-new products but much cheaper.
Recently got a Powerload (no lineIQ) trimmer with a 2.5Ah and a charger for $250… very happy.
In the USA they're much closer in price (and are sometimes cheaper) than the likes of milwuake/makita/dewalt etc, it's seemed to improve the quality of those competitors - which are generally cheaper over here and so I'd agree that there is better value in second hand and other brands (which tend to have longer lasting batteries).
Yeah I got a mower, edger, brushcuttter, blower and whipper snipper with 4x 5ah batteries on fbmp for $800
Still all under warrantyI love their line trimmer, hedger, blower, and edger. All of it is amazing even if the blower does eat batteries given it is working flat out.
The mower honestly after 2 years i am just not impressed. You really have to keep your lawn in check if it is a bit over a regular cut the mower bogs down it either cuts out or the battery his thermal cut out from too much draw. We are moving to a smaller block eventually with less lawn so it should be fine but i don't think I would spend the cash on it again.
I would almost consider going to a corded one, sure pulling out a long cord is a pain in the arse but so is running back in and swapping batteries all the time.
I know that it wont help you - but I'd strongly recommend to others to really push back against Ego and the larger tool stores that range it, that always point back at the warranty periods.
The reality is that the consumer law doesn't care about warranty periods, and you should reasonably expect a $500 battery to last longer than 3 years (I argued 6 during mediation) - or at least be able to be repaired/replaced for a fraction of the new cost (they can take it back and recycle it quickly).
What was the final outcome following meditation?
I got my money back and went with a different tool brand.
Just to be clear, Australian Consumer Law cares about warranty periods when those warranty periods extend beyond the reasonable expectations under consumer law.
Yep usual story with super high draw battery products.
Running a lawn mower with a small lithium battery pack would be the equivalent of having a Tesla plaid and somehow just flooring it the whole time you drive it anywhere 100% of the time. Absolutely brutal on batteries.
The battery tool aficionados won't wanna hear it, but if you have much more than a 80sqm patch of grass to mow regularly, a petrol mower is still more economical. A half decent one literally just last forever (I'm currently rolling a 25~ year old rover/b&s motor mower, still starts first pull after a few primes)
If you are mowing the patch of grass out of the back of your town house, then yeah get a cheap battery mower, it will be easier and probably last quite a while.
I suspect that a lot of mower battery issues result from the batteries being stored with the mower, often in a metal garden shed that cooks in summer. And/or being fully charged after usage so it is ready to go next time. Obviously the worst case is fully charging and then putting the battery back on the mower in the "hothouse" - double whammy.
Heat & storing fully charged are two of the biggest enemies of lithium batteries (the others are over-charging or over-discharged, both of which should be prevented by the mover & charger's battery management circuitry).
This.
Yeah I'm sure that doesn't help, but storing batteries at their ideal 50%~ charge, then charging them before use, then trying to get them back to somewhere around 50%~ for storage is too much of a pain in the ass for most people.
@Binchicken22: Hey have 3 ozito batteries and I do this, it's not that hard if you aren't needing the entire charge if the batterird to finish your lawn. Been using for about 6 years and going strong
I've got 2 WORX batteries powering a mower and trimmer. 1 is 9yr old, 1 is 7yrs old, both going like they did when I got them.
I charge up the batteries and leave them in the charger or pull and sit on bench, never in the tool.
Runnings at high draw seems to explain my experience
My cheap Ryobi and ozito batteries are 8-10yo and still run quite well. Have had two Ego batteries die just after 3years each. Ended up buying a 10ah battery and this has lasted me longer as I usually have 2/5 bars when I finish mowing
Yep! Same thing happened to me and many other people I've come across over the years. Batteries lasted till just after warranty then RIP. Also horrible support
ego is like a ink jet printer manufacturer, making money off the ink cartridges, not the printers
Never buying anything ego again
Give me petrol any day , reminds me , I got a curbside find . Victa 500e rapid start , complete and hardly used . Put gas and checked the plug , first pull of the cord it fired š. Now that's what I call a bargain š±
I have an ego mower and whipper snipper. All three of my original batteries died under warranty but they were replaced without much drama. The replacement batteries are going strong but it hasn't instilled me with confidence in the brand.
I heard battery die soon after the 3 yrs warranty end. After sales non existent.
After sales non existent.
Where did you hear that?
Not my experience, I have had a couple of warranty issues across all my gear, and they got fixed very quicklySame as snuke - I found the service support quite good.
Each claim was processed promptly. A couple needed extra evidence in the form of photos and a video. That was a mild annoyance to be sure, but once they had what they wanted the replacements were express-shipped to me.
+1 from personal experience…
Same outcome. Well sort of,1 battery started performing very badly within a year so sent them a video and they replaced no hassles. Then after a while second battery wouldn't charge. They sent another and I made the point it could be charger but they sent battery anyway. Ended up being charger so have 2 new batteries and a charger. Their service is pretty good in my experience!
Also to all the electric mower haters, until youve tried one don't knock them . I've had Honda's and this thing is well not as good but not far off. And no more farting around with petrol and carb issues etc
I've had the charger and 2x batteries replaced under warranty with no fuss. But lost confidence also
Petrol is such a big deal ? As for carburettor issues , after how many years of not looking after it !
Petrol hater ….Lol, I have 2 motorcycles mate. Ones a 2 stroke dirt bike! Not a petrol hater at all. Have also done plenty of jetting work on my 2 stroke carb. I just think electric mowers are a very good application of the technology for 80-90% of the suburban population. If I had acreage I would buy a slasher and stick on the back of a diesel tractor. Horses for courses …. you just have NFI!
Petrol mowers are better.
Have you used this one?
Better than any petrol mower I have used (no, I haven't used Honda commercial models)
Yeah my petrol one is 20 years old still going strong. Guarantee this thing won't last 10.
We all know battery won't and it cost $480 lol
You must be born before 1970
I was born after 1970 and love my honda petrol mower š
Yes if u are working as a Jim's mowing or u want a golf green cut.
For a typical home in metro suburbs, nothing beats battery powered mowers like ego.
Yeah my 1/4 acre block will be much better off with a petrol. if you have a tiny strip of grass out front may as well get an ozito or something super cheap.
Not anymore.
Depends what you're mowing. If it's a well maintained lawn electric is as good and just a pleasure to use in comparison. If you're running over trash, tree debris, long grass and who knows what, then yes, petrol is better.
would be great to have a proper sale of the 1903esp with free blower…
Thanks for posting and the comments. Iām shopping for these and found this comparison useful:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk_xG-eRsV0&pp=ygUKTGF3biBtb3dā¦
Iām not sure the models are exactly the same as we get here but itās good to see them in action.
My battery died at 2 years 11 months it was quite the rush to get it fixed, I was instructed to take it to a 3rd party to confirm it was dead. Won't buy ego again because the batteries are stupid expensive, registered customers should be able to buy replacements at a discount when the warranty date lapses not full price like they do.
I have AEG's self propelled battery operated mower and I'm quite happy with it; I was skeptical initially as everyone recommended a petrol mower. It's expensive though, but they had a 'free battery' promo at the time so it reduced the effective price. I am not sure how EGO compares with AEG but I would recommend AEG anyday if someone has a big lawn area, particularly with some slope etc.
IMO the only good electric mower deal is one that comes with at least an equivalent sized battery free by redemption, and obviously for a good price to start with. This isn't a bad price, but not so good without a free battery (at least 5Ah).
I have older model bought in 2015
My 4 ah battery and mower still going strong.Same here 4ah and 2.5ah batteries- mower, trimmer and blower
Just had to replace the trimmer head - $45-Other than that no issues.
I have yet to find a battery mower that can mow under a trampoline. Also every petrol mower allows you to drop the handle.
This one appears to suffer from the same problem.
You can drop the handle
It only slides down, it doesnāt lower enough to go under a trampoline.
You can change the angle though
It only slides down,
No, it must be fully extended or it will not start. It will lower, my EGO lowers to about 1m off the ground.
I have a 15 year old Honda. I reckon it's got another 30 years in it. About $10/ year for fuel. 200mĀ² buffalo. First pull.
On a pure expense standpoint, they do not make sense. Saying that, you are leaving out the cost of servicing your mower, which for many means taking to a shop, for others it is relatively minor as they can handle it themselves.
I made the switch starting with a brush cutter. Compared to the 4 stroke using a Subaru engine we have, I love the quite, the lack of vibrations and zero need to pull start.
Extend that to the chainsaw and blower and them some on the noise front.We got an EGO mower too, and we barely use a push mower (14 acres) but it's been great. Again, quite, zero thought on start, and the self propel is great given our hills.
Honda do a self propel these day too.I must say, if I was using a push mower a lot, and went back to petrol, it would be a Honda and not the cheap garbage I have had in the past.
All very valid points. Hills would be a hassle to mow with a heavy push, and the self propelled mechs are a common point of failure on petrol mowers.
Electric definitely do have their benefits.
I think the cost of batteries freaks me out, and I'm rough with my mower so would stress about damaging it (eg I sold my electric mulcher and use the mower for hedge clippings 10mm or less :P)
Easy to replace a defective 18650 cell, rebalance and good as new why have 20 ego batteries in my collection, well easy for those that know what they're doing
if you could share a video on how you do this will be helpful for all EGO users
There are a lot of videos on YouTube about replacing the cells.
I have the whole EGO system for 5 years or so. Had multiple batteries and chargers reolaced under warranty. Thats now finished and they are still all over the place. Especially in Summer, constant thernal cut offs because they get too hot etc. Was looking in the shed the otherday and 1 of the batteries had its light flashing and was very hot, hadnt bern used for a month.
PS: the mowers are shit, they talk about Torque, but They have no flywheel mass, so they stop instantly when you hit the heavy stuff. The petrol has mass and gives you a warning.
Petrol 2 smoker all the way.
I luv the noise that smoker generates on weekends from the neighbourhood, that gives the urge to me mow.
I was about to make the purchase but seems it does not include the chargerā¦is it worth to get the skin for 799 if I need to get a charger separately?
60-minute charging time with the included 7.5Ah ARC Lithiumā¢ battery and POWER+ Rapid Charger
I've been waiting for an Ego Mower on sale most of the year.. I would have preferred a smaller model as I have to carry them up and down heaps of stairs.. but this is a good price, and equally as importantly I needed a new battery for my other Ego tools. Mine arrives tomorrow, I'll add some feedback on it later.
In terms of general Ego feedback, I'll share my experiences:
o I have had their tools for 6 years.. pole hedger, whipper snipper, blower, 2x2.5Ah batteries
o I did have to use warranty on the blower.. it was straight forward at somewhere like Trade Tools who manage it.
o My charger did die out of warranty, so I bought a rapid charger..
o The Blower is really good, the Hedger I regret because its so heavy.. both the blades and the battery, I should have just got a short/cheaper model and a ladder
o the Snipper is decent but I've worn through the head over the years, I guess I sometimes use it to remove weeds on pavers and so its my fault, but it still works.
o The Batteries are the biggest issue, they have fancy technology in them to avoid a lot of the common issues batteries have… but when they stop working.. I mean its instant.. sometimes you can trick it into working again but its not very reliable.. I've had some go bad, then come good, then go bad again for periods of time.. so usually I have one working 2.5Ah Battery at a time.. their issues happened out of warranty.. so if you do buy Ego tools, keep a track of warranty dates so you can act quickly if needed.Overall, if I had my time over.. im not sure if I could recommend Ego.. only because of the batteries.. I don't completely regret it though, as what is the alternative.. I use cheap Ryobi 18V stuff for most of my tools, including my current mower (which is falling apart but I got 8yrs out of), and that gets me by but the Ego stuff is far more powerful… its not a fair comparison…you would be comparing Ego 56V with Ryobi 36V or any of the far more premium brands.. none of those are cheap either.. and 3yrs on the warranty isnt bad.. so it is what it is.. but I really do wish they could resolve what causes the battery failure.
I have this model.
Overall, it is ok. Good cutting width, low noise, folds for convenient storage.
However, its quite heavy, lowest cutting level is still high off the ground and self propelling speed can be variable.
Battery lasted 3 years and 10 months. EGO battery warranty is 3 years. Cost to replace 7.5ah battery is $480.
Cheers
