Ego power broom12/28/2023 I have really only mowed a one and a half times, but so far, I am extremely happy with my purchase.On that note, knowing what to expect out of this powered snow shovel will make or break the experience. I suspect this one could be hung on a wall too. The way it folds up and stores vertically is truly a neat feature. If this is the future of lawn mowers, count me in. I am thoroughly impressed with how quiet it is, how much power it seems to have, and how easy it is to use. When I took the battery off the charger, it was barely even warm. I put the batter on the charger and it took about 45 minutes to charge. I saw a battery indicator come on, so I finished the pass I was on and came back. I didn't start with a full battery because I wanted to see how far I got on what was left from my initial charge so I got the front done and part of mine and my neighbor's back yard. That section of grass probably hadn't been mowed since sometime in October. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Once it plowed through that it slowed back down again. I am guessing it has to do with the torque of the electric motor. The mower appears to have more power than my old gas. It probably only took the mower a couple of seconds for it to realize that it had a bigger job to do and it sped up to take on the challenge. The motor automatically kicks up to a little higher speed, though still very quiet. If the grass is that tall, I used to raise the front of the mower and chop through part of the grass to get it down to something more manageable because grass that tall would have stalled a gas mower. Every gas mower I have ever owned would have bogged down trying to cut it. I don't usually water my lawn unless I put grass seed down. He waters it sometimes so the section of grass within about 3-4 feet of the garden always receives a little water. It was in the back yard near my neighbors garden. There was a patch of grass that had probably grown to about a foot tall. I was amazed at how this mower cut through tall grass. After 1 full mow with it, I can definitely say that this is so far the best mower I have ever used. Otherwise you'll have to repeat the process multiple times a week which is only suitable of you have a very small property or tons of free time. They don't generate any suction to lift the grass up (perhaps a more professional model does) so don't even think about mowing in the evening if the kids have been playing on the lawn during the day. My conclusion is that these things are only good for 25 square meters, perfectly flat city lawns (and on a more personal note, that I should never trust bloggers when it comes to tools). About reel mowers, I like the idea but my experience with them has been terrible.Īs I moved to my new house 2 years ago, I purchased the Gardena 380 EC (corded version of the one on your first picture) after having read so much good about reel mowers, thinking that the small format would help me to turn around obstacles. Where I live, since scarifiers are only useful 1-2 times a year, renting them for the day is the common practice, I am not sure I would invest much money into it. I would like an EGO de-thatcher too, it must be feasible since it is already offered by several other manufacturers (Greenworks 40v and Einhell 2x18v have one, but both look a bit flimsy).
