[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had the Ego LM2135SP for 3 years/3 mowing seasons. It was my first mower ever, so I cannot compare it to gas or the Ryobi, but I have been very happy with the Ego. Most of our neighbors use lawn services but almost everyone who mows their own lawn now uses an Ego. My BFF's DH replaced his gas mower with the same model Ego a month before I bought mine, and he is satisfied with it.

PP was so right about how once you buy one product, you will eventually buy them all! I started with the mower, then added the leaf blower because I needed a second battery, then I realized that I needed the [b]edger[/b] and string trimmer.

The Ego mower and leaf blower each came with a 56-volt battery. If I was really efficient, I could probably get our .5 acre corner lot -- that slopes up from the street towards the house in both directions -- done using just those two batteries, but I am not efficient, so I throw the first battery on the fast charger when I pop in the second one and then switch again when the second battery runs low to ensure that I do not run out of charge with only a small patch of grass left. If I forget to charge, in a pinch I can use the smaller battery from the edger/string trimmer.

The only maintenance has been replacing the blades after 3 years because I accidentally ran over some rocks when I was trying to push back some English ivy. If I had not used it on the ivy or scraped the rocks, the original mulching blades would probably still be okay.

For your backyard only, one 56-volt battery should be more than adequate, or you could switch to the smaller battery from a string trimmer when the larger one runs low.[/quote]

TY for this! Did not even know an edger was a thing. Now I think I need one and I haven't even bit the bullet to buy the mower yet. Once you own an edger, where do you use the string trimmer? Around trees and stuff? Hm.

We are switching from having a lawn service, which is why I don't know any of this. [/quote]
