- EGO RYOBI GreenWorks cutting comparison
I'm glad I did this cutting test, definitely some good information. Maintenance cut, high grass cuts. I wanted to stress the mowers a bit to see the motor pushing power and also see the cut quality as well. I hope you find this video helpful in some way. Thanks so much for watching.

Really , REALLY appreciate the test is super HIGH GRASS...
Thank You ...
Thanks for comfiming what I liked about the Ego, we have the same one you tested and it really goes through wet grass like butter, and I love that this doesn't choke at all!!! Just did the grass today as well. Very happy with this product.
Thanks Trina
This really helped me, I was really wanting to see the comparison with EGO Vs Ryobi. I was leaning towards EGO and this validated my thought. Thanks for the great review.
Kev 1st thank you

Great video. I appreciate the time that you took to be so thorough and objective.
Thanks Wes and Tia appreciate that, what mower do you have ?
Really interesting review! I like reviews that highlight the best points of each competitor and you have really done a good job of that!👍👏
Thank you so much Philip
I love love love my EGO lawn mower. The battery is great and when its time to charge it gives you a full charge in less than 30 mins. I can usually cut my grass about three times before I need to charge it again. Great product.
Yep a tough and fair test. Nice job on execution and reveals. You’re my go to tester. Good job EGO!
Thanks Matthew definitely was surprised myself, I enjoyed doing the tall grass one especially.
My Honda Gas Mower leave mohawks if I had to cut grass that high. Honda is the best in the business. Not sure the Mohwak test works in this scenario of very long grass.
I hear ya, just a test to see which machine leaves more, motor ability etc
An outstanding review! Thank you for doing this.
Thank you so much
Awesome detailed video...thanks man 👍

Great test and very thourough too, i am looking for an e mower now so very helpful
Hi Bert thank you for your kind words and I'm glad it helped in some way please stay in touch let me know what you do
Thank you for this. I have been a Ryobi fanboy for a long time and was going to get their mower, but after a few review videos, it's clear I'm going with EGO. You had a great real-world test for those of us who don't cut our lawns twice a week and may miss a cut or two during the season.
Thanks Matthew appreciate that
I watched all the videos from the professional. Ego and green works dont even enter the picture. Milwaukee makes the best battery operated mower. Followed closely by the Ryobi. I wouldnt pay $999. And the fact that I want one battery system for all my tools Ryobi was the clear winner. I bought it and I have 0 issues.
@@johnderocher7016 is it the Ryobi 1+ battery?
@@daddyodipshit, I am not an expert but doesn’t 1+ refer to Ryobi’s high output 18v? Ryobi’s lawn equipment runs on their 40v platform.

Helping me make my choice
7 inches of grass is tough for any push mower even gasoline models. Thanks for the review.
Great video! I own the single blade ego and I am pleased with the performance. I have a friend who is a gardener and he owns a line of the ego products. He says, Ego has replaced a few wear & tear parts with no questions or push back from Ego.
Thanks for sharing Tom very good to hear, welcome to the channel I hope you stay with us
I have watched seven different test and so far it seems EGO is turning out to be a winner. One thing another video brought out was the way EGO compared with competition was cleaner in the bag area, so even on my gas Honda, I could see the angle of the metal shoot backed up, but the EV EGO design caused the grass to be pushed back to the back of the bag, while some other EV or others had grass clumping in the tunnel or not pushed back far to the back of the bag. I live in Alabama on a mountain with much Gulf Coast rainfall, unlike many mid-western or western states. The southeastern states seem to get better rains in the summer because of the Gulf Stream most years. However, I must say this video and guy did a very well designed real world test. I will be damned if I ever let my grass get to 16 inches, but still interesting test and EGO did win in a good competition. I am looking forward to enhanced battery perhaps solid-state for better power ratio, faster charge times and for sure less issues with battery safety, lighter weight, etc., in five years. Toyota is going solid state and many others will make the move, unless some other design comes forward, all of which can be used in mowers too. I built a tornado shelter in my basement and also a 40 foot rubberized one inch thick textured ramp down the mt. to my backyard where I will soon build a storage unit about 1,200 feet from bottom of mt. to hold all my new EV tools, including a ridding EV mower, as unlike cars, EV lawn mowers are out selling all gas mowers, as who wants stinky gas, oil, & leaks, filters, plugs, and higher upkeep and by that time I will let my five man lawn crew go to yet another yard to work in the summer heat. Yet another feature the gas mowers did not have and would not work, is EV self-propelled mowers can fold and fit inside your garage or storage unit. Try that with gas and you would have a potential fire! I mostly for now want it only for leaves from January to late April, (Alabama Bermuda gets and needs at least six hours of Sun daily and it is thick like plush pile carpet) grass grows until end of December then my grass crew comes again usually late April, (who wants to cut in high temperatures and humidity)? I plan to use the EGO mostly for leaves during winter, as our mountains have 85% hardwood tree cover and billions of leaves to be bagged and put in dumpsters and that sure beats racking. I must say, having the lights will help regardless. Good to have a plan!
Great job comparing these mowers. Just watched a different guy compare mowers and he ran thru a field like a nut case just saying his review was useless to me. Great job on your real world test.
Thank you Mike
Watched the same video I believe lol. I remember saying wth is he doing? And why would I ever be running thru a field cutting??? Terrible
I have Ego lawn tools like the blower, edger, trimmer, etc. But still not trading in my Toro Super Recycler and Honda 217 HRX gas mowers anytime soon. The cut quality and mulching capabilities on them is really good.
The tall grass cut was very interesting. This is an excellent video for someone considering which mower to buy. I currently own a Toro and Ego and like them both, but the Toro cuts better, IMO. Very thorough review Al.
Thank you
Beautiful review
Thanks so much
Great video!
Thank you Dan what mower do you own
Greenworks has Turbo for that long grass-works a charm.
Thanks and I Agree just wanted to see the motors Rev up without me doing it to see how the motors would react.
Your test really proves that the toughest area to mow for a lot of them is straight down the middle, as it follows the path of the blade's non-cutting axis point.
The showdown of the century lol
The Greenworks possibly has a design flaw that I encountered on previous models. On my older model the mulch bag hung very low and as is neared half, it would sad and drag on deep grass and when you turned at a sidewalk, the end would drag. This caused my bag to get holes in the rear corners. This Greenworks model appears to be a bit better, but the Ego and Ryobi put their bags up higher. This would be something that you should look at in future reviews.
Fun review thx
Thanks for watching RS
Thank you so much
Thank you
I'm not sure on Ego or Greenworks but my Ryobi cross cut has a problem holding grass underneath with thick , tall, damp grass. My older Ryobi did not hold as much. If I clean it out underneath about half way through backyard I have no problems and battery lasts longer. With normal maintenance cut and dry grass I have no problem. Front yard only stays wet for a short time after rain. Backyard needs a good day to dry out. Fun video to watch
Thank you
Never mow wet or damp grass,it waers out blade and you will need to sharpen more often
@@tonykrolak6423 WOW, I just jumped back to this video when you posted, lol. I always wait till dry but my backyard grass holds water in the grass itself. Just did my first cut of the year yesterday and wasn't holding much moisture even though we have had quit a bit of rain plus an enormous snowstorm just a week ago. Last year it may have been because of new grass seed put down. Happy mowing!
Wow!! I was all set on buying the 21" 60v GreenWorks (mainly cause I have a 60v GreenWorks chain saw). but now I'm having second thoughts!!! Damn !! Too many possibilities, Almost tempted to go back to a gas powered mover. ???
I thought they all did pretty well man.
If you think about it, kind of impressive that the Ryobi can duke it out with two mowers that have more capacity (pretty much 20 volts more in both cases). Their engines can draw more power.
Be careful comparing Volts to Volts, 40, 60, 80... they are also in varying Amp-Hours configurations which give you different Watt-Hours of available power. For example, 40V 6Ah = 240Wh of work. 80V 2.5h = 200Wh of work. Also, the battery design and composition will decide the peak output of the battery - how much power the battery can spit out in one shot. Think of the mower as sucking power from the battery through a straw. Some designs have much bigger straws. If the straw is too narrow, the battery will overheat trying to feed the motor. Lots to consider. Straight "Voltage" numbers is marketing. Watt-Hours is reality.
I really enjoy the unboxing and tests you do on mowers hope to see you test the new Milwaukee mower 2823-22HD and the new toro super recycler 21568. Thank you again
Thank you
Glad I got the EGO.
Which model did you get
@@TechMadeEzy I picked up the EGO POWER+ 56-Volt 21-in Self-propelled Cordless Electric Lawn Mower. It’s a pretty darn good mower and my first electric.
Model # ? LM2135sp etc
@@TechMadeEzy LM2102SP
Nice! Enjoy and let’s see what these new models look like down the road
Nice comparison. Disappointed on the 1st test with the Ego, but not surprised. My Ego Select Cut has choked on tall/thick grass, and it wasn't as tall as your test. I had expected my Ego to rev up the engine, but it choked instead, like 3 times. I use setting #2 for a low cut, mulch only.
Thanks 👍🏼
@MrKnightoflight I find my motor revs up quicker and I get a better cut and mulch when I removed the flat ‘top’ blade on my Ego. I then used the gator and high lift blade together.
Make sure they both face the correct way ‘this side facing grass’, and offset them using the bumps on the blades to make the X shape. Then you can use just the main center bolt, to hold on both blades. It becomes clear once you put 2 lower blades together.
Thanks, @Sean Rice. I appreciate the advice. I mowed last evening, and it only stopped when I hit a curve where the grass comes up to the road.
the only reason the EGO struggled with the mulch test is because he used the bagger lift blade. This guy has another video where he pairs it against the Milwaukee mower and it won the mulching test but lagged behind in bagging. You have the use the correct blade for the job which is why they include different blades.
I got the cheapest Ryobi 40-volt mower and I speed walk it around our 1/4 acre lawn. It's Mohawk City. I like to think of my lawn as a UFC fighter, or Mr T, or maybe the leader of a dangerous biker gang. My old Honda mower was so boring, delivering perfect haircuts every time.
I never tried green works but my bro has a ryobi and I have ego (single blade) and one thing we notice is the ego must sit lower cause it was catching just a little of ryobi sections plus once ryobi chokes the batteries had to recharge with the ego it chokes but simple reset and it's up and running
Thanks for sharing
This is a tough decision. The EGO looks good but I really want to support RYOBI since it's MADE IN AMERICA
It's good to have choice and I do understand 🇺🇸
I want to go with Ryobi also however the Ego is pounds lighter! 55 pounds compared to 75! That’s a lot. 👍🏻✌🏻
@JT-sl3ui I’ve used them both both work very well but you just have to consider what ecosystem you’re getting into because once you start buying batteries, you want to know that they can work in other parts and tools they make
I like to see Harbor Freight's Atlas EM (Electric Mower) which is using an 80 Voltage (Dual Batteries) with 2.5 Amps per battery review. I'm considering Atlas lawn equipment since l live near a local Habor Freight Store in Georgia.
i bought the Greenworks 60V Pro with 3 batteries and two blades on a Memorial Day sale for $375. I am more than happy with it. I bagged the first time I used it because the grass was tall and it looked like a golf course when it was done. Kind of wet grass too. Took 50% of the battery. Today I did it in mulch mode, dry grass, and it only took 25% battery. I haven't tried the high lift blade but ill probably wait until fall when i have to deal with leaves.
Dan you can't beat that, that's a super steal. Greenworks makes a great mower and they always have good pricing and sales.
@@TechMadeEzy I’m in the Milwaukee system but their new mower msrp made my eyes water. I was going to wait for a sale but someone told me about the green works sale so I jumped on it. It’s my only non Milwaukee item but for the price I had to do it.
I know going up to $1,100 is crazy
Where did you get a high lift blade for this model?
@@ajgreen868 it was included. a high lift blade and a 'eco' blade thats supposed to help with battery life. they both perform about the same though even with leaves.
I bought Ryobi cannot wait to test on a tall grass. I hate to cut grass and unusual to let it grow really hight. I will see how powerful it will be compared to my gas powered
Very good review. Have you heard people having issues with the Ego battery and warranty replacement? It seems that in 2021 and this year people are reporting issues with both batteries and customer service. Thanks!
Rick thank you
From my experience it's rare but it happens. They do stand by their products but each scenario is different.
I have had the Greenworks for a year now in the North East, grass, leaves, pine needles no problem. Rather than blowing off sidewalk and driveway drop the blade height to the lowest setting and put everything in the bagger . I don't know why but it will not pick up small twigs on hard surfaces. The higher the grass the slower you should go for a good cut. I like my machine a lot f.y.i.
It is a good machine, we still have it. I do the same, vacuum it up.
GreenWorks won. I can tell you're a fan of the EGO though. Thanks.
You need the exact blade on each to be able to do the test correctly. Need a cross cut blade on the greenworks to compare them with.
I appreciate how thorough your tests are, but I have to say giving us actual model numbers for the mowers instead of just names would be very helpful.
Thanks and you are correct, should have done that
31:10 Good girl Brooklyn 😍
Now tell them that Ryobi is half the price of the other two that are 20v more each. I have a Ryobi 40v lawn mower p401011 and love it. $279 at Home Depot. Spend your money however you choose but you are just cutting grass at the end of the day. I'm not spending $600 on my lawn mower but you can if you choose.
Great review. Very fair on all 3 of them. I agree with ego result with a high lift blade for a mulch maintenance cut. The cut quality itself is great, but it leaves more larger mulch on the lawn.
Pair the Ego gator blade with the Ego high lift as your 2 blades, ditch the flat top blade, and the 2 annoying bolts… You will get 1st place all categories on the ego. Though I never cut grass that tall. Fun but as you said, unrealistic. Thanks again for you time and skill.
Thanks Sean much appreciated
great video. however considering price point, ryobi is my choice. i just bought one from clearance and it came just under $400 CAD
I agree, Ryobi has had good pricing. Best of luck Justin and thank you
Thanks for this videos, am just wondering how many lawnmowers you had to buy for our entertainment and education
I’m still buying them 😊 I love doing this and seeing improvements thanks for watching
Thank you for the review, I enjoyed it. I personally own the same exact Ryobi that you tested and like it very much. It is not a perfect mower, but name me one that is perfect. This is the 2nd review I have seen that does a super long grass test. I get why you are testing them in this super tall grass, but I would never let my grass get this tall. Personally I would never own an Ego mower even if it made me a martini while I mowed. All parts made in China as well as built in China, at least the Ryobi is built in the USA by Americans.
Thanks Howard competition is good, agree most won’t let their grass go that long but it’s a good test on the motor and blade system. If a mower made me a martini hmm I might have to buy that one, 😎 Thanks so much for watching I hope you stay with our channel
Who makes your underwear? 😎
Plus you can use the Ryobi batteries on other tools
It might be camera distortion, but it looks to me like the overall cut of Ryobi was more ragged.
Please test the $799 Kobalt 80v , it is made by Greenworks, its reported that it supposedly doesn't choke... Who knows ?
Also, Greenworks makes an 80v also ..
Kobalt is made by Greenworks
Ps .. Awesome Channel Sir
Thanks Cole I’ve done a review and even a head2head with the 80v Kobalt not a bad unit at all
Ryobi all day long with 9.0 amp battery
With all the good reviews you see about the ryobi on TH-cam, I think it’s defined over rated a bit. Plus most those reviews were paid by ryobi. That’s why I like your videos my man. Hal eat and to the point!
Thanks AJ I’m glad you go to see this one also. You are a great man 👍🏼
Great Video!
Would've been interesting to see how the Greenworks would have compared with its high-lift blade installed. It was taped to the bottom of the mower box (It's possible they just started including them, I recently bought the mower). The wrapping the blade came in explains it is for long dense grasses as opposed to the standard high-efficiency blade already installed on the mower.
Here is some info you might like. I have found the combination of the high-lift blade with the turbo button initiated, the greenworks can pick up a majority of leaves on my lawn. The Ego mower (LM2101, single blade model) I purchased previously could not. However, that ego mower did not come with a high-lift blade and I didn't feel like purchasing separately (mowers are expensive as is already). That may have made a bit of difference, but I don't think it would have been enough since the ego mower stays at a low rpm unless it feels resistance (Tall/dense grass). So picking up leaves on short-grass doesn't really work unless you can max out the rpm's like on the green works mower (turbo mode).
I can't seem to find that blade Anthony
@@TechMadeEzy I just watched your unboxing video and noticed 2 things. One, you didn't have the blade on the bottom like mine. Two, I have the push model from home depot with the 5 ah battery (Model # MO60L516). That may be why :(. Pretty dumb they didn't include it with the self-propelled model. The only reason I can think of is that the high-lift blade decreases battery life due to extra resistance and in combination with self propel it would decrease life so much that consumers would give the mower negative reviews for battery life.
Yeah definitely didn’t get that blade, thanks Anthony
@@TechMadeEzy my 60v self propelled greenworks came with the high lift blade. I have used both and I think the cut with the mulch blade is better since I don't bag my grass. Today was the first time I went over the lawn 2x and what a huge difference in the evenness of the look. Also I can't cut lower that the 7th position otherwise my lawn looks scalped for some reason.
Wow you mow at the highest setting? # 7 ?
Here I am watching some old videos again. Lol
Cool thanks AJ
Those high blades on the EGO are made for bagging, not mulching. The gator blades for mulching should do a better job while mulching. To each blade its purpose.
Thanks Jamy
I like using the high lift blade in some areas to lift the grass and cut it, find it does a better job in some areas of my lawn but yes you are 100% correct
Just my thoughts but if you think about it the test maybe should have been with all of them having a single blade. I may be wrong on this idea but like I said it was just my thoughts.
Appreciate your feedback definitely, just wanted to show the latest versions of these 3 and how they cut that all.
Ego high lift blade is for bagging, not mulching.
Would be nice to know the prices
I don't see how this is the ultimate match up. The Greenworks comes with a more powerful 80v model, that would be more comparable to the other two with dual blades.
But the other two are 56v and 40v. This was a somewhat apples to apples
Just got an ego today edit: yes it's the one in the video
The EGO slaughtered Greenworks and Ryobi. In the first mulching contest, the worst choice, the high lift blade was used. That blade leaves the grass clippings the longest of all three choices of blades that came with the EGO. If the proper mulch blade was used, It would have won that contest hands down. To be fair, a mulching blade should have been used with all three mowers. It sounded like the Ryobi would have done much better, if the motor turned the same RPM as the Greenworks and the EGO. The lower RPM is why it didn't have the suction that the other two mowers had.
The newest version of the Greenworks is an 80volt model with a turbo button and is more powerful than the Ego Select Cut XP. I've owned the Ego Select Cut XP and it does not mulch that well on my lawn when it's thick, also about 9k square feet. Bags fine though. Ego does have a new mower out, thee 22inch aluminum, not sure how much better it is.
i liked your video since you said your dog is wiggling his tail hehe
Thank you
I was hoping you would engage the turbo buttons on the lawnmowers that have them 😔
Hi Brian I really just wanted to see how the motors reacted on their own to be honest.
Greenworks
has a turbo button! ego has a auto turbo!
I only wish Ego had a side discharge like Ryobi and Greenworks
I think it might even work better but it was on the side
Ya can't beat a petrol powered 4 stroke mower
When rating any product I believe the price is the first thing to consider , specialy automobile. So what are prices of items tested ?. I think a lexus is rated higher than a Camry
Here you go Jorge
GreenWorks 60v package $489
EGO select cut XP package $749
Ryobi 40V cross cut package $499
how do you sharpen your lawnmower blades any tips? might be a good video also
Hi Steve I use a Dremel attachment to do it, to me it’s easier , what about you ?
@@TechMadeEzy A file but i'm looking at other options like you said
Good old faithful system
@@TechMadeEzy yeah and I balance on a nail and call it a day lol.
I really enjoy your reviews but tell me, who allows their grass to get that long before mowing? My John Deer gas powered tractor would have a hard time going through that. But still…… I appreciate the testing. I’m going with Ryobi for a variety of reasons. Price, power, and we have a number of Ryobi tools where i can interchange the batteries. I also cut frequently enough where I wouldn’t anticipate some of the challenges here in your testing. Great job, thank you!
Always good for a test, thanks Donna
Greenworks Pro came in 2nd with single STANDARD blade instead of it's high lift blade. High lift blade might have made the difference.
Wasn't available when I purchased the mower or as an accessory at the time of the review.
@Tech Made Easy I didn't realize that. It comes with standard and high lift blades now.
That's gonna make a difference, thanks Kraz
Did you use a 21" blade on all of these?
Yes
Ego came to play after getting that third place lol
WITH GRASS THAT DEEP, my gas lawnmower would leave mohawks and clumps of grass ....
I riding mower would’ve left clumps of grass. Lol! Just goes to show you how good these cordless mowers are. 💯👍🏼
I was saying the same thing, and you're right. But I guess it was demonstration.... but I don't anyone with an E mower would let the grass too high.
Come on y'all! Really I guess y'all all have postage stamp lawns. I can cut that whole yard on less than a tank of gas. Also what kind of grass are you cutting?
I purchased both the ego and the Ryobi and returned the ego and kept the Ryobi. To be fair I did not purchase the dual blade ego. It was $750. I bought the $600 single blade. It does bag well. The engineering and build quality is second to none. It has real ball bearings and the wheels and pushes effortlessly and bags well. But it has no suction for one. You can roll it over dry leaves on the sidewalk and it will not pick them up. The other thing is it has a shorter blade than the deck is. The blade is an inch shorter than the deck width. You couple that with no suction and you have to majorly overlap every pass you make or you will leave one continuous strip between each pass. The Ryobi for $450 did all of those things better. So I did not feel that I needed to spend roughly $800 to get a mower that would do most of what the Ryobi would and normal cutting scenarios. My Ryobi has suction and good power and it came with two batteries that I can cut for more than an hour with. I wanted to like the ego and felt it was a better built machine but there were just too many design flaws and performance issues and the Ryobi did the job for a lot less money. Unfortunately the Ryobi is the number one selection here as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for sharing Randy
I’ll buy the Ryobi and save a couple hundred . I already have plenty 40v batteries.
MKes sense definitely
I'd be curious as how the best compares to a gasser.
I'm going to be buying an electric, just wondering how it compares.
Never mind. Just saw your other video.
Thanks Tomas
Which battery was the Ego running, 7.5 or 10 amp? Thanks.
10ah but that's only for run time nothing else, doesn't add any additional torque
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks for the info.
My pleasure thanks so much for watching Ricky
Just wondering why you care what the clippings look like when you bag? I would only care how chopped up they are when mulching.
Hi Chuck you are correct that is more important but it's one of the things we've always looked at when doing our tests.
In all fairness, the ego and Ryobi are dual blade mowers where the Greenworks is a single blade. Also the greenworks comes with a high lift blade, which you probably should have used when comparing it to dual blade systems where high lift blades are used, taking that into consideration I think the Greenworks would have been a clear winner in these tests.
Greenworks doesn't include it in the box chet, I've done a few reviews on this mower. What's the part number if you can let me know I'd be interested.
So far I can't seem to find it on greenworks or home depot. All I find is the standard replacement blade. So let me know chet and thanks have a super day 👍🏻
@@TechMadeEzy high lift blade is included in the box and they also list them on Greenworks website
Wasn't when I purchased and unboxed but thanks for the update Al 👍🏻
@@TechMadeEzy also you never used the Turbo button on the Greenworks. That gives it 500 more RPMs.
Does the speed you walk make s diff?
I would say yes if you walk too fast that can affect the cut
Sir, what about the TURBO button on the Greeworks ?
It's said that when the Turbo button is pressed that Greenworks 60v then matches the RPM level of the EGO for hight grass ???
HELP
I wanted to see how the motors performed as is
Then why didn’t you put the high lift blade on the Greenworks?
Hi chet wasn't aware one was available, what's the part number?
So far I can't seem to find it on greenworks or home depot. All I find is the standard replacement blade. So let me know chet and thanks have a super day 👍🏻
@@TechMadeEzy I recently purchased the Greenworks 60v with the 2 4amp batteries and high lift blade included and this mower cuts beautifully. When you did the normal maintenance cut which would be 90% of the time Greenworks blew away the others in quality and that was with a single blade mulch blade not the high lift one they include now. I'm not knocking Ego but they are way overrated with the mowers. I use the 56v blower and hands down the best out there for that.
Were these all self-propelled?
Yes
I don’t know what you mean by “maintenance cut.“ Do you mean cutting the grass with the mulching blade? The EGO is supposed to have as much power as a gas powered lawnmower. They have a mulching blade on that, so why does it not mulch worth a damn? It leaves a lot of long blades. I’m very disappointed, as I was leaning towards getting an EGO, plus my yard is Bermuda and I don’t know how well it will do in Bermuda. I think the design needs to be changed so it mulches better. It’s either a problem with the blade, or a problem with the frame. I think these lawnmowers are a few years away from being equivalent to a gas powered mower. I certainly don’t want to have to double cut my lawn every time I mow the lawn. There should be absolutely no mohawks in a normal lawn cut.
I had a gas powered Snapper and you could not find the blades of grass after it mulches them, without getting down on your hands and knees and dig around. They’re probably less than an 8th inch long. That Snapper lawnmower is the best mower ever had. I currently have a Honda, gas powered and it’s no comparison.
The third test was kind of ridiculous. I never let my grass get that long and I don’t think most people ever do. I know it’s just a test. Plus another thing is, you need to go the speed you would normally go when you mow your lawn. I don’t know if people go that slow.
I also couldn’t deal with the choking that your experienced with the Ryobi and the Greenworks. That would drive me absolutely bonkers.
Good review, though.
Brooklyn wants to go out and eat that grass! 😳
Im about to buy a ryobi 21" crosscut for $200 on facebook marketplace, should i be worried?
$200 is a great deal as long as it's in great condition and comes with the battery and charger, the mulch plug was the one bug issue mainly but you can get passed that. Good luck Justice 👍🏻 let me know how it goes
@@TechMadeEzy It's in mint condition with batter and charger used twice! Appreciate the reply!
Nice great to hear, enjoy, hope you stay with us on the channel Justice
You seem to misunderstand what the "Mohawks" is. You do NOT get mohawks from a single pass. You get them when you overlap your previous pass with the right side of EGO mower. What you may get from a single pass is stranglers (and boy, EGO gets plenty of them) but not mohawks.
@Ray Johnson lol. It's not just "mohawks" that triggered me. He calls clamps of grass a "mulched grass" which makes me question his credibility even more. These clippings he calls a "mulched grass" are 1" long. How the f.. hell are they "mulched"?
cute dog if you ever got a extra ego product u dont want and to meet me in wauconda let me know
Spoiler alert @ 30:33
So this is what John Legere does now?
Howard stern 😎
Cant be a good comparison when you run one mower down the cut path faster than another. It would obviously leave patches etc where another mower would do better since its on the grass for a longer time
Seemed ryobi was always on rough terrain more uneven lanes. But I agree with one running faster then the other.
Not a very scientific test - I think that the forward velocity of the mower should be regulated and consistent so the mowers are all undergoing the same cutting stresses, and the blades are over the mowing surface for the same amount of time.
Really, the slower the mower proceeds over the grass the better the job it will do, and the higher the number of impacts between the cutting blade and plant stalks.
no
