That strikes us as plausible, particularly on level ground, in mulching mode. With a 10-Ah battery, the manufacturer estimates run time as 75 minutes. Given that the Ego's motor and drive system are both quite efficient, enabling it to accomplish nearly 1500 square feet of mowed surface per amp hour of battery capacity, that would translate to nearly 15,000 square feet of mowed surface with such a large battery. You can easily do better than that with a larger battery such as the company's 10-Ah, a whopper of a power pack. The brand recommends a battery with a minimum of 7.5 Ah of capacity, and that’s what we used to arrive at the cut area you see below. Since this model is sold without a battery and charger, it’s up to you how much battery to put in it. The combination of the spring-loaded adjustment and one of the better speed-control mechanisms we’ve seen–a simple dial that you rotate forward and back. To make it even easier to use, it has single-lever deck height adjustment with a large T-shaped handle. Like many battery mowers today, the Ego is equipped with an all-plastic deck that will never rust, and a tilt-forward handle that also telescopically adjusts to suit the user’s height. If that's you, the Ego is probably a good fit for you. Although we spend most of our time testing mowers in mulch mode, we recognize that bagging is particularly important to people who have a lot of foot traffic in parts of the yard and want to prevent grass clippings from getting dragged into the house, garage or onto patios. Its bag will fill more quickly than you might think. You have to be aware of that when operating this mower. This mower is also an excellent bagger, gathering pounds more grass per square foot of test area than most mowers. We attribute that cut quality to the X-shaped blade (a design developed decades ago on Honda's gas engine mowers) and to the smooth and unobstructed deck surface surrounding the blade. Even when the mower is used in mulching mode, we did not find clumps of accumulated clippings after the mower was finished (it's important to specify here that these tests were performed on dry grass). Healthy grass looks like velvet after it has been mowed with the EGO. Several features allowed the Ego to clinch Best Overall, no small achievement in our mower tests.
