Cordless Mower Recommendation

April 26, 2015 11:24 AM

Does anyone have experience with both the EGO LM2001 Power+ Lawn Mower and the Stihl RMA 370?

I’ve found several positive reviews on both, but I can’t find any direct comparisons between the two.

Best answer: I bought the EGO one month ago, and am glad I went with it instead of gas. It covers a small lawn with juice to spare, and I don't have to store gas or deal with the problems of a gas engine.

The one thing I don't like is the side chute. It comes off any time I turn the mower, because there's just a shallow plastic groove holding it on, and the slightest bump like when you raise the front wheels to turn knocks it off. But the mulching bag works great and doesn't have that problem.

One other thing that could be better is that the handle feels a bit too long and too high.

Otherwise, it's great. Charges quickly, cuts through tall grass, and needs no maintenance. Also folds upright for very compact storage.
