ECHO 21 in. 58-Volt Brushless Lithium-Ion Cordless Battery Walk Behind Push Lawn Mower – 4.0 Ah Battery/Charger Included

Prior to this purchase I used the GreenWorks line of products. After receiving poor customer service from GreenWorks I decide it was time for a change and bought this mower. I am very pleased with the ease of operation and the power, which is much greater than my GreenWorks mower.

nice mower, light wt., easy to use, charge lasts long enough to mow front/back yard. bagger is good, mower cuts good.

Works well so far. Used it four time. Once mulching and three time bagged. Used bag because grass was wet. Four amp battery lasted to cut my average size neighborhood lot with power to spare. Light weight and easy to roll on my gently sloping yard.

THE MOWER WILL NOT BAG THE GRASS. WOULD LOVE HELP ON HOW THIS WORKS?

This mower mulches oak leaves and mows grass flawlessly, plus it is quiet and no smelly fumes. High recommend it.

The mower cuts well. The run time was a disappointment. I have a small yard and the run time allows for 80% of it to be cut. I could get another battery but they are very expensive. This mower can hold two batteries. However, it only uses the battery selected. Selecting the other battery for use is simple but it would have made more sense to have the mower draw from two batteries if two are inserted in the mower. I like the deck design and they way it folds up for storage. The warranty is good but you really can’t judge the warranty service until you need it. It is a rugged unit that should last. Each mower should come with a discount coupon for a second battery. The E-GO mower has a longer run time. Before you buy an electric mower cut your grass with the mower you have and time it. A somewhat more expensive mower with longer run time may be the wise choice for you. Better yet, Home Depot should have a try before you buy option that allows you to test the mower on your yard. As a famous rocket scientist once said “one good test is worth 100 expert opinions”.

This Echo lawnmower is my first venture into the world of cordless lawn equipment. I chose this over gas powered for two reasons, (1) maintenance, and (2) weight. We mow our three acres using our garden tractors and we trim it with a Stihl 2-cycle weed trimmer. I purchased the Echo to buzz around and under trees… pretty much as a supplement to the weed trimmer. Despite several internet videos claiming that the torque produced by the Echo rivals their gas-powered mowers, I found this not to be the case. While I found the torque to be better than expected, you will not punch the Echo through wet or tall grass. I tested this on 6″ tall moist grass using the mulching function (you leave the mulch insert in place), and also using the rear bagger (you remove the mulch insert to allow clippings to collect in the bag). In both cases, the mower bogged down under these conditions. It does manage dry, 3-4″ high grass very well and I got about 30-35 minutes of usage out of each 4.0 Ah battery (I bought a second battery… it ships with one).PROS: Weight Composite deck No gas, oil, fuel stabilizer, carb issues, etc. 2-bay battery storage (you change to a fresh battery by flipping over a contact key) Re-charge time of about 1 hour WarrantyCONS: Price Small bagger means several trips to the compost pile Wheel height adjustment is a bit tediousIn summary, I do recommend the Echo 58v lawnmower for homeowners with small, root-free lawns. I also recommend the rear attaching, left throw grass chute for those wanting to mow fast with no concerns for grass clippings left on the ground. I am using the grass chute exclusively now because I pre-mow with the Echo and we re-cut over the clippings with our tractors.

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the battery has yet to work for an hour during 2 different mowing days.

Light & easy to use!

Balanced nicely and cuts well. Compact design is a nice bonus for storage between cuts.
