EGO’s battery-powered tools have redefined what cordless yard work feels like. The LM2135SP mower makes a compelling case for leaving gas behind, pairing serious cutting power with the quiet, instant start of a 56V battery system. It feels substantial and well-built, a tool designed for actual lawns, not just small patches.

The self-propelled drive is a game-changer for hilly or large yards. You control the speed with a dial on the handle, letting the mower do the walking while you steer. Its Select Cut system uses three interchangeable blades for different jobs. The installed mulching blade chops clippings finely, while the included high-lift blade creates strong suction for pristine bagging. With the bundled 7.5Ah and 5Ah batteries, you can realistically tackle up to an acre on a single charge, depending on grass conditions.

The mower folds flat for compact storage, a thoughtful touch for garage real estate. It is, however, a heavy piece of equipment. The heft contributes to its stable, durable feel, but lifting it into a vehicle or up stairs is a two-person job. For most homeowners, this trade-off is worth it for the consistent, gas-level performance without the fumes, noise, or maintenance.
