Thanks for the video. im interested in replacing my commercial mower with this. I have had 2 ego mowers already and have a decent lineup of ego tools. Re measuring the blade speed, you need a “non contact” tachometer. they come with a reflective sticker that you put on anything that turns, run it and take a reading. done.
Thanks for the update, looks like a hell of a machine. Part of me was hoping you'd find a problem with it to temper my urge to go out and buy one right now, but it looks like I'll be retiring my Honda HRX217 for one of these now.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Still early days but so far so good. Much nicer to use than the petrol mowers. Let me know how you get on if you do buy one. Cheers
Since each 12.0Ah battery contain the same energy/fuel/runtime as one tank of petrol gas, you can easily calculate how much saving you would be getting based on how often you refill your Honda. Of course the same battery also run all the yard tools like the trimmer, chain saw, leaf blower, pressure washer, LED lights, snow blower, 3,000W power invertor..... without the need of spending more fuel driving to the pump just to get more fuel for the yard tools.
Thanks for the review. Had mine for a few months now. 3 things that drive me nuts: the tongue part on the bag gets stuck, the self propelled will not engage if it is rolling back at all which is a real kicker when your rolling back down a hill after a turn and after a little bit the deck starts to build up around the blade tip and it causes a loud whistling type noise. Never heard a mower make a noise like that. Less of an issue is the front end has springs on the height setting so it rattles over bumps. But, battery life is WAY batter than my other dual blade Ego unit and I run this on turbo. Plenty of power to do the job. Would be nice if we could have some control over the self propelled ramp up through the bluetooth app. Unless you have the batteries I don't see any consumer going this route when the aluminum deck consumer is less than half the price for 95% of the features and power. The reason I did, the self propelled doesn't sound like a childs toy like on the consumer models lol.
Hey thanks for watching. Yep I agree with all your points. Plus the slow ramp up of the self propelled is quite frustrating over time. You learn to manage it but yeah having control would be awesome. I also wish the handle design was slightly different with a cut out to allow for better handling. Similar to the Honda 216 handle design. I also don’t like the front bar as it drags when on the lowest height setting going over bumps / curbs etc. all things I will point out in my upcoming update video. 👍🏻
I wanted this aluminum model to replace my 20" EGO. However, I just ordered the TR4204. Now, I'm afraid it will be overkill. I may have to settle for the new composite one. I would like to see a comparison of them to ensure I'm not going to be missing out on something worthwhile. Great video from a knowledgeable user!
At 3:50 Blade speed: FYI, and decent small motor mechanic or car mechanic should have a scope that can help you out - otherwise you can buy one from any tool shop. Otherwise, I have already done it: ECO: 2,690 RPM Level one 2,830 RPM Level two 2,990 RPM
@@lovelawns Cheers … I’m trying to get access to a Local TAFE small engine Dyno as that would be the only way to check ramp-up RPM. EGO did say that unloaded RPM would be at a commercial mower speed of 3,400 RPM, so it would be good to DYNO test to see if other claims are not accurate, like HP and NW For ICE, HP and NW they have to comply with SAE standards. Unfortunately there are currently no standards for electric, so they do a calculation using voltage, Am/Hrs and the number of motor poles. For the record, I mostly love the new EGO commercial Alloy Deck and have recently mowed an overgrown buffalo block at 350mm, and I went straight in at level 3 and it bagged perfectly with no blockages and it didn’t struggle at all with the blade it came with. Admittedly I was walking slow. BTW, you have a beautiful home!
Thank you for posting the rpm as I am interested to know and the result is quiet interesting. I have the North America residential 22" (53 cm) single battery (none Peak Power) sister model SelectCut (dual bladed) LM2206SP with a 1,400W motor (vs 1,600W on LMX5300SP) using the exactly same aluminum deck. After installed the EGO Connect APP and connected with the LM2206SP via Bluetooth, the APP updated the LM2206SP to the newest firmware and provided maximum drive speed control option (default 3.1MPG now able to increase to 4.1MPG as the LMX5300SP can) and the option to Enable/Disable the Super Turbo blade speed when select the Turbo setting. I tested the rpm with a digital photo tachometer at the tip of the optional high lift lower blade (free when register the mower with EGO) and these are the average results with a 12.0Ah battery I done in two different days: Speed 1 (ECO) = 2,629 Speed 2 (Level 1) = 2,830 Turbo (Level 2) = 3,084 Super Turbo (enable through EGO Connect APP) = 3,133 ** According to EGO's 2024 catalog, the No-Load Speed RPM of this mower is 3,100 (on installed standard mulching blade). My current residential original Peak Power 21" LM2142SP mower (EGO's first mower to have the brushless 8.5 ft-lb (down rated to 8.3 ft-lb after the introduction of LM2156SP) motor) with high lift blade installed (no speed selection option on this mower) is running at No-Load Speed of 2,880 rpm while the No-Load Speed RPM is listed at 2,800 rpm in the 2024 catalog (with standard factory installed blade); however, it has ~40% less under deck air flow/recycling space due to the large center motor housing. It's interesting that EGO never advertised the maximum rpm on the 8.3 ft-lb brushless motor but do so on the 22"/53cm models. I believe even at Super Turbo setting, the rpm may still ramp up to the advertised 3,350rpm when encounter heavy resistance... at least I hope so because that is what I am paying for.
Does look good, and I agree with your reply on the previous video that battery tools are nicer to use. But just had a look how much it is here in the UK, £1149 for the mower, £399 for the 10AH battery’s (which I suppose you would need at least 4), so cost of entry is high.
Yep entry cost is high for sure on all these new battery products. Just look at the battery zero turns..! Pretty much zero maintenance / running costs over the lifetime of the product mind. Especially if you charge off of solar too.
Wait for the LMX5307SP-2 kit with two 12.0Ah batteries and two 700W turbo chargers that would charge up the two batteries in 75min with ~120 min. runtime with a few hundreds only which is an excellent deal. If you are in snowy area of UK, get the SMT2807 snow blower that also comes with two 12.0Ah batteries and you would be all set for both season. I never buy the tool and batteries separately on EGO's products.
Still enjoying it? This video convinced me to grab one. Have to admit i knew it was heavy but actually using it was an eye opener. Used to mainly push with a bit of self propelled, not finding that really feasible with this one. Tried it on anything tougher yet? As much as I'm willing the grass to grow? It's just not complying.
@maraachful yeah still pleased with it mate. It is a heavy mower though, for sure. Still not loving the slow ramp up of the self propelled but I’m used to it now. Maybe Ego can fix it with a software update..? Not had it in much tough stuff really. Nothing really growing much at the moment here.
@@lovelawns Either you get the loud winning noisy motor from the residential LM2206SP in North America or the quiet but slow ramp up motor of the LMX5300SP, I think I would chose the quiet but slow ramp up motor.
Great review. I love the positive spin on it all. I was a bit more critical in my assessment but, for the most part, an excellent mower by Ego. Mate, I dont even think your lawn needed mowing in the first place! It's smick!
We replaced our smaller mower a few months back now and were looking at ego but we went for Stihl rma443vc instead as we already had the batteries and charger and didnt want to go into the extra expense of starting fresh with whole new battery ,charger set up, but we will this year need to replace our lc353ivx husqvarna and we are looking at EGO waiting for Groundfest though so we can have a good butchers
This Ego absolutely pisses all over the two battery mowers you mentioned. I’ve used both and they are toys compared to this. This can replace your petrol commercial mower for pretty much everything. You’ll see what I mean at Groundfest 👍🏻
@@lovelawns love to see the EGO on the one lawn we do that even our petrols struggle with , from what youve said and what ive seen they would cope pretty well.
Amazing how fast cordless mowers and garden power equipment is evolving and overtaking even the best petrol equipment. Just the cost that's an issue still or more so battery cost. I'm surprised you managed to cut that lawn with the honda or any petrol mowers given most have splash lubrication that on those angles would risk all sorts of issues but maybe the honda you used had the better forced pressure oil system?
Fantastic review, detail on the acceleration being slow and how it works superb. You would choose this over the Pellenc? The big bar extending up near the battery housing needed? useful? or the metal bar handle at the front of mower ok for lifting into a vehicle if needed? take the bigger bar off?
Thanks for watching. Yes I would choose this over the Pellenc at the moment. Metal bar is useful for lifting / tie down options. No need to take it off, in my opinion. 👍🏻 Cheers
The cut quality looks excellent for a single blade, dual blades mostly are for mulching into fine particles, my honda has good cut quality but compared to single blade mowers i dont really see much difference, for bagging though you get more clippings in the bag.
I wonder if the 53 cm/ 22" SelectCut dual blade set from the North America residential model LM2206SP will fit on this unit with the possibility that the fan may also needs to be replaced to get the correct cut height.
Good review. Looks to be the pick of the battery 21’s at the minute although the slow ramp up to full speed on the self propel isn’t great. If they prove to be durable I’m sure they’ll be popular.
Thanks mate. Early days but yeah, so far it's proving to be very capable. You get used to the ramp up, although I do wish it was a bit quicker. Keen to try out some of the other newer battery models too, such as the Kress, Greenworks and Toro. Cheers
Compare to other EGO self propelled system, this new one is quiet and ramps up slowly and very quietly. I hope EGO will put this type of self propelled system into all the new mowers as they is one of the most problematic part of the current mowers. I wish EGO will bring this kit to North American regions.
I agree the previous self propelled system wasn’t great. This one is much better if not a bit slow to get up to speed. Fingers crossed it’s released in the US soon. Cheers
@@lovelawns EGO distributors say mid to late July and still no battery or charger for the US release. We'll see if that really happens. Thanks for the video update.
Good review Ki, if you're impressed then I would be. Difficult to gauge I know as it's winter, so a Queensland summer is needed to test it properly. But the question is, would you put your 216 out to pasture and just use the Ego going forward?, cheers Steve.
Thanks so much for this excellent review! Have you been able to find the exact speed of the highest self-propelled setting? Ego lists a top speed of 3.1mph for several other mowers, but doesn’t provide a specification for their commercial model. I’m wondering and hoping it is slightly faster than their non-commercial options.
Thanks. No idea what the official figures are but it’s just plenty fast enough. You would never need it any quicker. It wouldn’t cut properly at full speed. Cheers
Thanks for the review,you mentioned that the mower is way better than egos previous model,did you mean the 2135sp model?thats the one i have and im looking to upgrade it for more power and better cut quality,this is the real deal in your opinion?
Thanks for the review! Have you had a chance to try it in long wet grass? I'm in the Pacific Northwest (BC Canada) and the Ego Select Cut XP mower I tried just wouldn't bag the wet grass well enough for me to use it on customers properties. My Honda HRX217 GCV200 has been excellent with everything I throw at it so that's my "Bar" if you will.
Hi there, yes I have and it’s not the best in longer wet grass. The chute blocks and clogs up very quickly and then it doesn’t pick up anything and just clumps. It doesn’t have a bough suction touch it through into the bag. The Honda you have is far superior. Cheers.
Hey, great video! I have just got the commercial mower for my business, and was just wondering what’s the difference between the blade that comes on the mower and the high lift blade you’ve ordered? Cheers ☺️
Hey, thanks for watching. The high lift does what it says it will do and has more suction and lifts the grass up more. Potentially resulting in a better overall cut. Thanks
@@lovelawns I believe the LMX5300SP only have one blade option which is the installed high lift blade. In North America, the residential model SelectCut LM2200SP comes with two mulching lower blades and the high lift lower blade is available free shipped to the owner when the owner register the mower within 90 days.
Haha I’ll keep you posted. So far it’s been good. Few small niggles which I’ll talk about in an upcoming video but yeah, the summer will be here real test for it. I’ve not been sold on the battery mowers up until now either. Will see how this goes through the upcoming season
How would you compare the volume to petrol(gas) mowers in person? Sounded good in the video. I have a 15 year old Honda which I'm looking to retire. Was curious if this commercial model is louder than the lower EGO models due it's higher power and whether it's approaching petrol mower volume levels?? Noise levels is still my big motivator for moving to battery.
Hi mate, thanks for watching. This is much quieter than a petrol mower. About the same as previous Ego mowers. If noise levels are you primary motivator then this ticks that box for sure 👍🏻 I’ve been using it as my main mower for a few months now and so far it’s been flawless. Only small annoyances are slow ramp up speed on the self propelled motor, the deck lift height adjustment levers could be better, still doesn’t go low enough for my area. The self propelled lever is a bit of a pain too without a cut out for your left hand it can pinch your fingers.
The unit with 2 x 12.0Ah (672W x 2 = 1,344W = 1.344KW) is rated for 120 min. of runtime and it very realistic since I am using average less than two 10.0Ah batteries (1,120W = 1.12KW) on the North American single battery 22"/53 cm model LM2206SP operating average 100 min. per cut every 2~3 days on my property on speed level 2 & Turbo with duel high lift blade set on drive speed 2~4.
That sucks mate. Did you not want to get it fixed and try again? Not really what you expect from a fairly expensive commercial grade mower tho. I’ve had no dramas with mine yet. 🤞

The self propelled lever is a bit of a pain too without a cut out for your left hand it can pinch your fingers.
Please what is the runtime you are getting?
The unit with 2 x 12.0Ah (672W x 2 = 1,344W = 1.344KW) is rated for 120 min. of runtime and it very realistic since I am using average less than two 10.0Ah batteries (1,120W = 1.12KW) on the North American single battery 22"/53 cm model LM2206SP operating average 100 min. per cut every 2~3 days on my property on speed level 2 & Turbo with duel high lift blade set on drive speed 2~4.

Looks like that Makita mower is going to take some beating...
Have been chatting to Makita and should have another demo to compare shortly. 👍🏻
Hi can you run it with 1 battery
Hey, yes you can. Cheers

Yep it’s a weekly customer. Not much fresh growth this time of year. Here in Australia.
I returned this mower to the dealer after the self propel mechanism stopped working on the first cut with 25 minutes of use. Disappointing!!!
That sucks mate. Did you not want to get it fixed and try again? Not really what you expect from a fairly expensive commercial grade mower tho. I’ve had no dramas with mine yet. 🤞
