New EGO (2024) Aluminum Deck Mower - REVIEW and TEST - LM2206SP

Nice video but the issue with the lawn mower is how long it can cut. I have more than a 1/4 acre to mow and it takes me about an hour to mow my lawn. For the money if Ego had given the 12 amp hr battery I might have bought it but the 10 amp hr battery doesn’t last long enough.

Don’t know why Ego only focuses on big blade mowers we need smaller one EU

$315 vs $899😢😮😢😢.. I am getting the LM2150SP for $315 and keeping my LM2020SP STEEL DECK as spare😅😅

These lawnmowers are pointless, we just aren’t there yet as regards battery life and power consumption. Too many people unconvinced between battery or gas powered appliances. I personally believe that gas powered tools or cars will still be around in a decade from now.

Lmfao

A nice mower but overkill for my needs. An 86 pound electric mower with an aluminum deck that costs $1,200 USD seems more akin to a commercial grade mower than a consumer grade one. $500.00 replacement batteries seem a bit much too.  Takes a large battery to push that 86 pound mower around let alone run the blade.

The new upgraded 40V HP Ryobi mowers weigh 38 pounds, and very maneuverable. Mine will last 45 minutes entirely on self propel and has cut 12,000 square feet in a test run on one charge of a 6AH 40V HP battery. Typical usage for me gives me 3 15 minute mowing sessions on a single charge. Ryobi has solved the motor control board issues some were having last year as well. All for $399.00 out the door.

No residential mower “mulches” well enough to even bother

Do you “cross-cut” because the ego still cuts uneven; leaving a Mohawk?

thanks for the video. whats with all the blades? my mower has just one. does one of the blades stay in permanently? never needs sharpening? i assume the other blades are for mulching?

Whats the turbo button for on it.
When to use turbo?

Had to return mine today. On my second cut the transmission started making a clunking sound. I knew the whine of the transmission on the first day was going to be an issue. It wasn’t a constant loud whine but sounded like a noise something would make on its way out. And good luck trying to call ego. I was on the phone for ever and even if you request a call back which they eventually did they just let my phone ring once and then they hung up. This way so they can close it out and move on to the next caller. 1200 dollars and I wanted it so bad to work. Their lack of customer service sealed the deal for me.

One on order

1500 that’s crazy

Lucky you
Do they do charity cases? 😁
Wished Ego would send me the same mower.
Good video

Dude, you need a rider

EGO needs to stop messing around and make a wider mower!

After two batteries going bad on this thing for 5 years I am done with it and going back to gas, no more headaches.

Will never understand, Why would you even consider buying a battery powered lawn mower?

1400 bucks? No thanks!

"Turbo" stupid you can't have a turbo with all electric.

This is a fantastic review! You covered every part of the mower, especially cut quality and the improvements between models. It cut better than I expected. Your yard is huge; can't believe you're not riding.

Just kill the stupid music.

gas last longer....

I have last year's model with speed iq and love it.

Can you push it without engaging self propelled ? This would save power and get rid of noise.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I will never purchase Ego equipment again. (Beware people.)

Around the 14 minute mark I see you are doing a good job of overlapping your lanes and still leaves quite a bit of tall grass.

Does the back of the deck still lift up when the self propel is engaged like the previous EGOs ? Just wondering if they fixed it with this new model.

I think this is total bullsh!t. Spend $1100 and don’t get a bagger blade or side discharge, what the hell after another $230.00 extra warranty from Lowe’s I pay $1400 some and not the ability to bag without that blade or side discharge. For all that money, I’m taking this back. I would rather get a ego 2156SP2 with two 10 ah batteries with all 4 blades, mulcher and side discharge plus the extra running time on the 2156sp2. I’m taking this back. Thank you for all the specs before I unboxed it.

The old model I own currently is the 21" composite with select cut, the mower didn't perform well with anything but the high lift blade.
I tested it on my lawn, my neighbors lawns and I was also hired to move a field for a commercial property with about half an acre. It cut OK but only with the high lift blade, other blades were useless. The metal the blades are made of causes them to go dull very quickly, I can get maybe 3 cuts of a normal sized lawn without needing to sharpen.
The composite deck handle mechanism had a sensor that wouldn't allow you to operate the blade without being fully extended, and that may be a problem for short people. I found the 'safety' switch in the handle to be unreliable, at times it wouldn't notice the handle was fully extended and locked in place. I've owned it for 3 years.

Just got this one, not happy so far. One wheel doesn't stay on the ground.
The side shoot is put on where, connected how or to what?
The Bluetooth doesn't even find the 22' only the 21.
Lowes says it's 11.8 pounds of torque the box says 11.1
You really don't get squat for the mega price tag!
Oh, the Bluetooth app is OUT OF DATE. Last update was 2022!
No customer support number, wtF?

get one of these or a dwalt?

Nice mower. Whine is a deal breaker. I hear that the commercial model doesn't have the whine. Different transmission.

I got a Honda about 5 years ago. I'm happy so far. The mulching is unbelievable even in high grass.

Have a ego select cut 10 amp battery. I was a doubter but would use nothing else now. Sure the new one is even better.

For $1200 I can hire a few Mexicans for the time this mower will last. Pass. Thanks for the content.

biggest piece of crap

Great review, thank you. But that whine on the self-drive is a deal-breaker for me. I gather the 5300 has a different drive system which is quieter, but that is unnecessarily large and heavy for my use, so I think I'll stick to a mower I have to push.

56volt crap, hey if this is what you want, go for it.
You are always paid for your Blah, Blah, Blah. Good luck all!

What a great review on this EGO model. I'm not sure how big of your yard is but to cut about 1/3 of an acre with some valley slope on this model do you think it will cut in a single charge with power 2? How long do you think this model will cut based on your yard size vs. the appx. specs of land/grass i provided? Thank you very much.

I decided to test this mower at night. I have never used a self propelled mower and with this power I had turn the knob down to turn and roll it back up. It’s a bit heavy for me but I got because I need more exercise with stress on my joints. Great review. This is my first Ego replacing my 10 year old corded Kobalt ( that still runs like new).

Very useful. The added weight is a very real concern for older people, and likely women who have to handle the added weight in awkward yards. Everything is a compromise. I think they went to heavy alimuinum deck to handle the 30% additional torque, and dissipate the added heat from the motor without venting that gets glogged in their other models. I would like your insight on how to deal with the weight.

Can you test a lawn mower robot? Want to buy a lawn mower robot but don't know which brand is more reliable.

Darn You Fix it Flip! I had my day all planned. I was heading out to my local Lowes to get last years model EGO. I decided to watch one last review and ran across yours with the Aluminum deck. After watching, I now have to drive an hour away from my crib to pick up this model with the Aluminum deck. Thanks Brother, lol

I can't believe that they still haven't fixed the screech whine of the drive. I returned a mower because of it and, apparently, I still won't be buying an EGO!

you need a rider mower.

Docked 1 star. This $1200 mower does not include a side-discharge chute! The cheap EGO mower from 7-year ago did.

Good review of the new mower. Why would they make the side discharge chute a separate item? I like to use the discharge chute as it seems to be less strain on the mower.
