I need a new lawnmower and yard tools; thinking about going with electric/rechargeable. Any brand recs?

I've been very happy with my Ego brand mower, edger, etc.

I have some Greenworks tools, but the batteries on those have been not so great.

I have the 21" non-self propelled version. I have a 10k sf lot and it is mostly flat. The electric mower is a ton lighter than gas mowers and not having a self-propelled is not a big deal at all. I also bag everything.

Thanks Guitar; I have heard good thing about Ego too

I like my Kobalt stuff

I've had an Ego blower and string trimmer for 3+ years. I cant imagine how another brand could be any better but I don't have experience with any others. When my 16 year old refurbished Toro mower finally bites the dust I'll be replacing with an Ego mower.

Love my ego trimmer edger and blower. Not sold in it being able to handle my thick ass st augustine, especially if I miss a mowing due to rain or whatever. My Honda is still running strong though.

How big is your yard? Budget range?

My 72" commercial Bad Boy mower is amazing, but it's not really useful for suburbia. And a push mower isn't going to be worth a damn when maintaining acreage

I'm another happily in the Ego ecosystem - works just fine for my ~0.5 acre mostly flat lot. I have the 20" non-self propelled and it largely does fine, but can chug if I let my Bermuda grow too much. Batteries are fine - I've had the same two or three batteries for coming up on four years with no issue - I can generally mow, edge, and blow just about the whole thing on one charge. I also have the multi-head attachment with the trimmer, edger, pole saw, and cultivator attachments; no real complaints with of them.

I do wish I'd gotten the 21" deck on the mower, as that has a few more blade options. It's also not the greatest at bagging clippings.

+1 for the EGO ecosystem.

I have dewalt. It's fine but I wish I would have gone Ego.

Been scouting a dewalt 60v self propelled ( DCMWSP700Y2 ). Is this the model you're using?

Ego gets the most positive reviews, but I already have a crap ton of dewalt tools and a couple of the 60V flexvolt batteries so the dewalt makes more sense from that standpoint. Still have a honda hrx that still runs strong but I'm exploring the electric models to maybe reduce the fatigue factor somewhat.
