I love my new EGO mower. My gas mower was getting old and it was time to replace it. I had new sod put in so I figured the new sod needed a new lawn mower. I've had my EGO mower about 3 weeks. Have been mowing twice per week. The EGO is light, compact, and as powerful as my old gas mower. It sliced through my first cut of the season without even bogging down. I can mow my front, side, back and alley sections of grass twice on one charge. I've been cutting my grass in the evenings and when it starts getting dark, I get to turn on the " headlights" to help me see better. They actually help. Who would have thought headlights on a lawn mower could be used? The included bag holds a lot of clippings and is easy to empty. The battery charges fast. When all is finished, I blow it off with my new EGO blower, fold up the handle and put it away. No smell of gas lingering in my shed, or on me after. If you are thinking about going electric, go with this EGO, or the self-propelled one. You will be pleasantly satisfied. Oh, and now you can mow at any time without bothering your neighbors. :-)Example: I bought this a month ago and am so happy that I did...
