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 🤯
Thanks guys for mentioning the cost of the replacement battery. I'm out
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 warranty
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 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.
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 😉
would be great to have a proper sale of the 1903esp with free blower…
Thanks for posting and the comments. I’m shopping for these and found this comparison useful:

I’m not sure the models are exactly the same as we get here but it’s 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.
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.
