Why It's a Big Deal
Electric lawn mowers are becoming a popular choice among homeowners for their minimal upkeep and ease of use. Greenworks is one of the leading brands in the space, but those with serious yards to tackle need to look at Ego Power+. Ego's lawn and garden tools are known for their foolproof reliability, and although they're pricey, Amazon recently cut the price of the brand's massive mower that comes with multiple batteries and a charger.
The Ego Power+ 21-Inch Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Set is now just $650, a 40% discount from the full price of $1,080, and, according to Amazon, the lowest price in the last 90 days. This kit includes a 21-inch cutting mower deck and two batteries (which will generally run you a couple of hundred bucks each). Shoppers can’t help but rave about its performance, giving it nearly 500 5-star ratings because it tackles tall grass like “a beast.”

What to Know Before Buying
- Power: Electric (battery)
- Operation: Self-propelled
- Run Time: Appx. 1 hour
- Width: 21 inches
- Adjustable: Yes, from 1 to 4 inches
- Included: Lawn mower (1), 56V 7.5Ah ARC Lithium Ion battery (1), 56V 5Ah ARC Lithium Ion battery (1), charger (1)
- Best For: Small to medium lawns
A self-propelled electric lawn mower alone at this price would be a phenomenal deal, but add the fact that it comes with two batteries and a charger, and you have one heck of a bargain.
The mower deck can be adjusted to eight cutting heights from 1 to 4 inches, and can cut in three modes—mulch, bag, and side discharge. It features a touch drive mode, which barely requires energy to hang on and operate, while you simply walk behind and supervise. The larger 7.5Ah battery also gives you up to 60 minutes of runtime on a single charge, too.
We'd recommend a lawn mower like this for small to medium-sized lawns, simply because it runs on battery power, and the runtime is limited to recharging times. With that said, these batteries are said to recharge fast—about 30 minutes or so—and one full battery should get you about a third of an acre mowed in one go.

What Users Are Saying
“I have St. Augustine grass, and if it grows too high, it can be quite the chore to push a mower through it, but this machine pushes through with ease!” exclaimed one shopper. “It is quiet too—there's no loud engine noise to upset the neighbors.”
Another user who lives on a sloped lot pointed out the good battery performance. “This thing rips,” they began. “I started with the smaller capacity battery to see how long it would last. It made it all the way through the front yard, and about half of the back. Pretty impressive considering how not flat my yard is...plenty of power to mow thick overgrown areas.”
This limited-time deal won’t last long—make sure to grab your Ego Power+ 21-Inch Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Set before this deal, or inventory, disappears.
