I would like to purchase the EGO 21″ Self-propelled mower. The thought of not dealing with oil and gas (storage too) plus the noise is kind of appealing. I am hesitating because the weather here is rain rain rain from late September until May and I see that it is not meant to get wet. The reviews really have been mostly very positive, some have mentioned an issue with tall wet grass.
I have also looked at the Ryobi. I know many people have been returning them because they keep turning off, but that seems to be what it is designed to do. It is a safety and conservation of battery thing. If it doesn’t detect anything to be cut for a period of time, it will shut itself off. With a second battery, the run time increases to about the same as the EGO 7.5. The Ryobi is a bit smaller,but like the EGO the battery can be used on other tools.
Information on how you use this type of lawn mower in your yard and if you feel it was worth the investment would be helpful.
Thank you.
