I don't believe I'll ever have one of these mowers, but I came because of the video quality. Well done once again sir. Had me laughing on the water part. That main camera is gorgeous! Great content.
Great review and *EXCELLENT explanation of IP ratings!* . . . That real-world demo of IP4 was a Lawn Care Nut classic!!!!
we had way too much fun filming that part lol
I’ve had the E-Steer for two weeks, mowed twice and love it. However, after watching your video…I’ve learned a lot more about my riding mower. Thanks…great vid!!!!!
Another good one! Lol! I have the Ego 21" self propelled and backpack blower. Very happy with them starting on second year. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
This is a great idea. I have a family member that has limited use of their left arm. They havent been able to mow since that happened. With this they can get back to being a lawn nut.
I love your water testing. Too funny! The lap bar can do the same zero turn as E-steer but with more effort. As you come to the end of a path, slightly back up and they you can execute the turn without twisting the gras. The E-steer makes it much easier.
I have to say two things. What a beauty machine and love but love when the video quality is just awesome like this one. Thanks for sharing
Omg I absolutely love the water test Alan you are the best Please keep posting these Amazing videos.. i am a long time fan . Your LCN videos have made it possible for me to Dominate my neighborhood you are definitely a GOAT!
Wow! I know it’s 2023, but I didn’t expect this level of tech in a mower, I’m highly impressed! I mean, it’s a mower! Wow…
It get firmware updates too. I have some thoughts about what that could mean in the future.
Love when you show the outtakes…
Love Allyn Hane. Hate the paid promotions
I laughed so hard during the water test portion of the video! Hilarious!!! Keep up the great work bro! Love your videos and products!
Great video! This is the most informative review I have seen on the Z6 E-Steer so far! Thank you!
Thank you for this review. I'm considering getting the EGO zero turn. Did not look at this one because of the price difference from the lap bar. 1k extra for the steering wheel. I don't think so. Thanks for showing this one.
The negative comments are sad. The mower is objectively impressive. Whether this is a sponsored video or not, it gives you a lot of great info. Argue the negatives of the product, not the person giving the info. Alan, keep doing you brother... entertaining video as always, and i wish i had a large enough yard to justify this lol 🤣
Super cool. Hard not to enjoy the mow with that one!
Hey from Palm Harbor! Love the Ego tools. I have the string trimmer, chainsaw and blower. I'm gonna have to keep slogging along with the old Honda for a few more years. I'm getting real tired of gas engines on garden tools... especially for smaller gardens and lawns like mine--I think electric is the way to go for most suburbanites like me. BTW, that blower will blow the birds out the trees across the street! Good demo and video Al.
I like that battery stuff for small lawns too. It's reliable and efficient. Ego's tools are as good as anything gas that I've used fir DIY.
Finally a Zero Turn you can drink a beer on!!!!
You could even drink a draft beer on this hog!
@@Thelawncarenut that’s what I’m talking bout 🍻🍻🍻
That's a really fantastic looking cut
yeah it's great. The lap bar ZT has the same good cut quality, they are for sure gotten that part dialed in nicely
Great commercial. EGO will be proud.
they were and are! thanks for watching!
LOL. Commercial indeed
Wow! A total unbiased (he never said it was) review, a total pro EGO endorsement. I thought TH-cam had breaks between content and ads. I guess every one does what they can to make money.
Yea, definitely a sell-out.
everyone sells out if you think about it, especially if you work for someone else or a big company. So yeah, things change as the years go on, living the dream, trying to keep a balance. There is no guide book for what I do since it's so new in the world. Thanks for watching.
@@Thelawncarenut manipulating naive people is not a good look bro. People come to you for advice because they respect you, and you are losing that respect.
This obviously bothers you at some level since you feel the need to respond to these sorts of comments.
I no longer respect you Alan.
Of course it bothers me, but not in the way you think. Study the term "empathy" and apply it to situations like this as you get older. You are over these comments yourself, like you have an axe to grind. I hope one day you'll feel good enough about your own success that you wont feel the need to try and tear down others. In the meantime, your toxicity hurts you more than it does me. One day that will be clear to you young man.
@@Thelawncarenut Well said - I don't think I could have been that measured in response.
Not gonna lie… after watching your videos promoting EGO, I purchased my first EGO self propelled mower. It is freaking awesome! I would love to get everything, but it’s very pricy, (worth it)so maybe next year I invest in a leaf blower or weed cutter….
Man that zoysia is looking fire now that you leveled, killed the mole, and the low cut🔥🔥🔥
it took a while to get moving this year but the recent rains have really helped
Best video I have seen for this mower
Nice thank you, I'm getting mine Monday. I can't wait
*"time is money"* and this entire E-GO ecosystem suddenly right now *ROCKS* absolutely.
I absolutely love Ego yard tools and have almost the whole set.. but I just cant seem to save enough to get a riding mower. Its definitely on my to get list though. Everything ive ever bought from them has been amazing (minus the OG weedeater lol)
I just finished the video. Thank you for the review! This definitely makes me want to get one even more than I did before!
Please read the comments before thinking of purchasing an electric
@@Picklemedia Im already sporting everything but the riding lawn mower so I have zero doubt that the lawn mower will be anything less than stellar :)
@@erikanderson5387 well I own a lawn care business and I know the technology isn't quite there for a ride on, but do what you want, it's your money. Cheers
Have you ever tried and echo or stihl trimmer for comparison? I worked at golf courses as a kid using red max equipment. Then moved to toro gas as an adult and now use echo. The ego feels like a toy in comparison. I tried one. I would like to get away from the noise and mixed gas. But they’re not even remotely as efficient.
I purchased the e steer on 10/16/2023 and have used it for a few times. Here is what I have discovered. I do live in southeast Kansas and since we have had little rain so the ground is very hard. The battery(4-12.0 AH) life seems to decrease faster the more bumps in the yard. I have yet to get 2 hours of mowing out of it and a little over a half acre on each charge. I have charged it overnight to make sure it is a full charge. The height is set on 2 1/2 inches, the blade speed on 2 and control mode on the speed of the mower. The grass is thin so I have also used the blade speed on 1 and it works fine. The second thing is the front end is very light and going up just a slight grade with bumps makes the front end move up and down. So make sure the 4 batteries are in the forward position. Also I noticed on TH-cam the bagger attachment has weights for the front. I would recommend the extra weights even without the bagger attachment. Before this mower I had a Grasshopper front deck mower for years, so the comparison is completely different. I do like the quiet mower and if the battery life would be longer it would receive a better review.
Awesome video Allyn, Hilarious!
You can put a wax or ceramic coating in it too for easier cleaning
As a Z6 owner I don't think the lap bar steering needed to be changed. The lap bar steering controls are great as is. What I DO hope EGO is working on is some means of connecting the front wheels to the steering circuit. That would allow for increased stability when mowing on slopes. If they could put DC motors inside the front caster wheel hubs and keep the casters from freely rotating, that would be a game changer.
Great review! Thx!
If the 52" version came with the E-Steer I might just get one. Great vid and comparison!
Bad ass mower.
Price is high tho 😂❤
Paying for the batteries LOL. Another one of those cases where buying a battery powered piece of equipment doesn't make sense unless you are already invested in the battery platform. Ego makes good stuff, but the batteries are where your major price increase is at VS a gas powered version where nobody thinks about the amount they spend on gas.
Man this guy is really in the money now days....
He clearly stated it was sponsored. That aside. Have you seen what his products cost! - Of course he's rolling in it. Nevertheless, they work well so I'm happy to support him.
I'm 50 years old, started working when I was 16, bagging groceries. I expected I would be where I am at this age. I hope you do the same, hard work pays off.
@@Thelawncarenut yeah being a sell out would be hard work I'm sure. How do you deal with the guilt? Are you a drinker?
@@Picklemedia Hater detected!!! 😆
@@DenisonGolf12 it's true. I hate deceptive marketing.
I hate that he wouldn't recommend this to a friend, but he will recommend it to thousands of innocent people that trust him.
Experienced zero-turn users do not do 3-point turns to prevent scarring. Instead you slightly reverse the inside wheel so it's only stopped on one spot for a split second. Way faster
Good stuff, "over by dhere"
I really want you to get an exmark
Fitting mower given Al’s location! This is the little rascal or hover round of lawn mowers.
ha ha! you should look at the Ryobi version - it looks even more like a powered wheel chair
The only thing missing is a subscription service to unlock more features lol😂
haha, don't give them any ideas😂
I think that one day it may become suddenly autonomous, time will tell!
You mean like...rgb multi color night rider headlight displays for daytime mowing? Or under deck lighting for night mowing???
K I think I want one now. Thanks for the video!
Can we all appreciate the production value at 6:08
I still don't know how he timed the Florida 3-second lightning storm so perfectly.
@The Lawn Care we had a string trimmer by ego and it shorted out after laying it down on the wet turf
that sucks! I've dropped mine in the lake a couple times and never a problem. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug I guess.
@@Thelawncarenut i think it was just ours that had a battery issue
I bought the e-steer last month and came across your video. And yes!! I do have mynlights in Knight Rider mode😂. Only thing I would like to add, if I may, the bluetooth must have the " location services " on as well in the settings. Awesome video as always!!
i really feel sorry for you when those 4 12AH batteries die and you need to fork out another $2,400 to replace them in 3-5 years.
No worries, I always keep a contingency plan in place!😁
Whatever you do, do not read the comments
Very nice. I hope they come out with a smaller version. I mow a couple of yards with gates and smaller pathways. Love the review videos Allyn, helps me in my decision making.
Does this thing have a bagger? Cost?
@@ryanesposito5755 They have an optional bagger, I think about $500 for the bagger. Also a mulching plug option as well.
I assume you probably need something in the 36" mower deck range...this is something I've found in town with all these tiny lot subdivisions, hardly any back yard access, so a regular 21" push mower is all you can get into them in most cases unless you happen to have a 30 or 36 inch walk behind. This is where a lot of these companies are behind in, those mid-sized mower deck units. Surprised Ego hasn't come out with something like those old Snapper rear engine riders from the 80's...a 28-30 inch mower deck on a battery platform would be awesome for a lot of customers.
This production value is really getting next level...lol....would you recommend I start watering my St Augustine grass weekly already? I'm 45 minutes East of Downtown Tampa...just joined your couse by the way love it
I recommend you water at least 1.5" per week if we are not getting rain and we have been pretty dry the last week again. Hopefully the rainy summer pattern will kick in soon and you won't have to water at all for a while.
Looks dope, maybe too much machine for my yard, but looks great
My EGO self propelled walk behind could use far, far more suction-discharge force for clippings, it does regularly leave clumps unless you are mowing tips, I also have EGO string trimmer and three batteries, I need to make two passes at times to clear up the clumps
Amazing technology!!! 👍👍👍
Can't be used when the ground is soft they weigh a ton and replacement batteries are $2,400, but yeah the technology is coming along quite nicely
Not sure if it’s just me but I miss the generic grass cutting vids of dominating the neighbours. Always enjoyed the channel though mate.
One of the best videos I've seen regarding the EGO E-Steer. I'm ready to pull the trigger on one of these but I'm curious how it does on uneven terrain. I've got a slight hill on one piece of my lawn and a riding mower I tried out years ago "scalped" the lawn there. Is this EGO mower prone to doing that or does it give a nice even cut all around?
now that I am getting older (I used to be able to knock out front and back no problem now I have to do the front on one day and the back on another) I an actually looking for a smaller unit that can fit through a gate and can do a smaller yard (be sure to tell them the population is getting older)
The cub cadet RZT st also has cruise with zero turn capabilities. However can hold hills better then any other
Almost every riding mower I've ever owned has had cruise control. Im surprised you've never seen it. Typically in comes in the form of an arm-controlled throttle that stays in place when you let go.
Up until my last lawn tractor purchase all of mine had cruise control, you select the gear and the throttle position and go, my current lawn tractor has a hydrostatic transaxle, so it does have cruise control VIA a button on the lower dash...my tractor has cruise control as well in a similar fashion it has a push button on the dash...hardly ever use it though LOL.
I need one, going to save to buy one, it might take me a few years but I know I can do it.
Read the other comments
These electric mowers are still stupid expensive, but the fact that more electric mowers are coming out and that more newer, cooler features are coming out as well, gives me hope that prices will come down fairly soon, so normal people can afford them.
The pricing on these electric...err...battery powered zero turns are around the same base price you'll get from a dealer purchased gas powered unit...yeah you can get box store gas zero turns for $2-3k but they don't have a lot of the features the higher end stuff does, nor do they have the same dealer support it seems. $5-6k for a zero turn isn't too bad....people will spend $20k+ on a side by side utility vehicle, but they'll whine at the cost of a piece of lawn care equipment LOL.
Great video!
Looks nice enjoy brother
thanks bro!
They should add a wiper sniper by the front wheels that would be cool 😮 I love my ego zero turn very easy to own
Ill put my 33inch Rear engine Hi Vac Snapper against any mower. These old mowers cut grass down to an inch. It mows my Bermuda better( and bags it )than my Tru Cut Reel Blade.
Great content.
Gee a sponsored review, well I know this is going to be an honest review. Yeah right!
did you see anything you though was dishonest?
@@Thelawncarenut how much do replacement batteries cost? How much does the mower weigh? Where was the more produced? How is customer service?
Wait, you didn't mention these things? How strange...
Hey Al, when we gonna see two’er tree storage racks in that garage over by’der 🧐💪🏼🇺🇸 nice ride!
Dedication with those water shots! 💦
That mower looks like those mobility scooters you can rent at Disney World.
ha ha!!
I was going to say they look like the Rascal scooters
im about your size and i feel like id need the wheel closer to me. with the lap bar you can still rest your elbows on the seat arms
Great video review, LCN! What I want to know if the bagger fits on this model mower. I know the bagger fits on the Ego lap bar model.
My 2000 John Deere 345 has cruise control and power steering.
No one talks about the longevity of the Ego batteries, i want to buy this mower but with only a 3 year warrenty and plenty of anecdotal claims of batteries failing after a few years i just cant commit to it at thousands of dollars to replace those 4 batteries
Someone with a brain!
Agreed. Went with EGO four years ago(trimmer, blower, edger, hedge) for a 7k Sq ft lawn. After two years, I've had to replace all batteries because they don't last. Now the replacements are on their last legs(2 new, 2 under warranty). They overheat easily after only a few minutes of use. Had to go back to gas. Also, EGO is made by Chervon(China).
@@cmo6687 $2400 MSRP for those 4 12 AH batteries on this mower, idiotic ! i have 2 used EGO batteries i got off ebay like 4 years ago and they keep getting weaker each year i was hoping it was just because they were tired and used but it seems like that isnt the case afterall :(
At least you got four years out of it.
@@wojtek-33 5 years is still not long enough if the gas counterpart can last decades
The tire marks are unsightly on St Augustine grass from a ZT mower without floating decks and a 5" or higher cut. They tear up the lawns in my area especially when wet.
They may work better on other grass types.
Yes I agree, you have to be careful with it. More than a double cut can do damage.
I little more of me died when I saw this review.
I felt it in the force. 😅
Long time watcher and fan. What’s your opinion on the mower only having a side discharge? Mulching is key to a lawn nut
I agree and no bagger for leaves, etc. Way overpriced.
You can buy a bagger for it too.
Bagging and mulching are not the issues with this mower. Price, weight replacement cost of batteries, run time, 0 customer service, made in China to name a few issues
I miss the days of getting actual lawn tips instead of getting 10min commercials for ego and flagship. But hey….I get it we all gotta make a living. This man has a full time videographer shooting in 12K, you know for sure ego dropped a big bag of cash in his garage. Keep doing ya thing Alan. Now I gotta go watch f’ing yard brah cut his 300 sqft lawn 4X a day.
🤣🤣🤣
I thought I wanted one until I saw it in the store. Looks a little plasticky and much less robust than my Troy Bilt Mustang Pivot. Im sure it will only get better from this point on. Is there a way to limit max charge to 80% to prevent battery wear?
i got one yesterday
how do you like it? did you drive it all around your neighborhood to show off yet? 😃
it makes me want to sell my house and get one with a yard big enough to justify to my wife that I NEED THIS lol
All properties are different. This property is high cut St Augustine "pasture grass" with plenty of rain. The cameras make all these you tube properties look huge.
--My property is 3/4 acre corner lot with 1/2 acre bermuda grass in a hot transition zone with 10%, 15% and a little 20% ditches because we have no curb and gutter.
--I have a 54 in 25 hp steering wheel zero turn for the ditches. This machine will turn 180 degrees on a dime without tearing up the grass if it is dry with the inside wheel running slowly backwards. This machine cost way less than $3,000 with a bagger. It does not need front weights with this bagger. The stores have pulled selling my type of zero turn because of patent issues. The EGO would probably need front weights with the bagger because of the weight of the batteries. Alan did an excellent review and I don't care how he got it.
--The EGO needs to be able to cut to 1 in for bermuda when starting out in the spring and then switching to 1 1/2 in. No, I am not going to watch any more you tube guys who are cutting every day with reel mowers below 1 in cut. Impractical for me.
--Now send me the new gps robotic mower. Make it so it can go through a back yard fence to the front yard through a doggy door, etc and I am excited.
--
I think Cub Cadet had a gas zero turn a couple of years back that had a very similar steering system to this. Very interesting.
CC makes a zero turn with a steering wheel too. Difference is the CC actually turns the direction of the front wheels in sync with the rear trans axles instead of letting them flop like a traditional zero turn. It eliminates turf tear and makes driving across inclines of up to 20 degrees with no side slip or drift.
I have a Troy Bilt Pivot which is built by the same company as Cub Cadet. The steering wheel is convenient but if you turn on a dime no matter what you get a little scarring. I always do a 3 point turn. Love the steering wheel though.
6k for an electric mower! No wonder you didn’t mention price in the “Sponsored,” video.!! Cmon man!!!
Silly to talk about price in a review I’d like to hear about the actual product. Anyone can look up the price and decide for themselves if they want to pay that money.
@@artieartya But yet price is the most important determining factor for most when it comes to purchasing and is included in the majority of reviews. The high price is excluded from this review because most would view it as a negative and he leaves it out purposefully in his sponsored review. Well don LCN!
@@kevingaughan7285 price has nothing to do with a review of a products, functionality. Either a good product and satisfies your needs or it doesn’t.
A skewed view of reality on your behalf. Perhaps this is the first review you have watched. Agree to disagree on this one.
@@artieartya Yet he totally misses the elephant in the room, the longevity of the batteries any TRUE review would at least bring it up .. this is NOT a review its a sponsored video.
More fun lawn toys 😅
I'm gonna look awesome mowing my lawn on this thing with my racing helmet
I’m distracted by the turf, Allyn lol.
I live on a canal with a 20° slope, can you do video near canal or cutting on hills with this? I know the green works zero turn burns out on turns, want to see how this works
Good review, Allyn. When you turned the Ego around when you were mowing your lawn it seemed that the inside back drive wheel would scar the lawn just like the zero turn mower did in your demonstration in this video. Therefore, it seems that you would need to do a 3-point turn with the Ego to not scar the lawn, correct?
I had the same question. On a zero turn you can just reverse the two wheels and do a turn without scarring. It looked like it was locking the inside wheel or maybe it was just too hard to see.
You can do the same with a lap bar Z-turn, you just need to learn it and get used to it.
Will Ego release an e steer model with a wider mower deck?
Funny water part.😂 I'm trying to decide whether to watch Night Rider first or go buy one of these riding mowers.🤔
😂😂😂
Like how they add a cruise control 🤣🤣🤣charge more but back then it already was cruise control when you chose what gear to be in🤣
What do the blades look like and how do they sharpen?
Gas & Oil baby!
Now what about underneath the mower deck I washing the grass out because nothing will rust out a deck faster then grass
My cub cadet Z force has the steering wheel, is better for slopes than bars
this looks great . But for all you people that knows about batteries. I herd that theses Ego batteries go at 3 years old. So that means buying 6 new batteries at $3000.This is $6000 for this machine .So is it worth buying?
Absolutely sexy mower (and I have been an EGO guy since 2014 - have 8 tools and went through 3 their mowers). But $7k for a mower??? Geeeez.
You did an excellent review but I personally do not care for the look of the steering wheel. Not that it really matters because my lawn is way too small for even owning a 32 inch zero turn. Maybe if I did mine and 4 or 5 of my neighbors yards. At 63 and open heart surgery I don’t see that happening though, lol. Thanks for video.
How long is the entire mower? Looking at this vs the new lawn tractor they came out with. Hard to find exact specs out there and storage is important. Thanks and great video.
I'd like to know the same thing
Hey I'm wondering if you've ever tried putting sand in a Fertilizer spreader I've seen people on golf courses doing it I'm thinking about trying it out?
Awesome review! Is there reverse? Does it have an available double bagger system?
Hey Ego if you need another tester I am available!!!!!!!!!!
I need ur opinion I have half of a acre I'm looking for gas or electric I really like the ego I want a zero turn but after looking at this video now I want the steering wheel what do u think for a half of acre please respond thank u
How often do you have to change the battery oil?
Asking for a friend..😂😂
Every season at a minimum LOL.
Best comment on here yet! Thanks for the laugh.
