One of Our Best-Tested Lawn Mowers Just Got An Upgrade—and It’s on Sale for $449 Off

While the smell of fresh cut grass is a welcome arrival after winter, mowing the lawn can be chore. Some people love it, some people hate it. Either way, if you have a lawn, you’ll need to quite a lot this season. So, why not make it as easy as possible?

We tested five different push mowers over the course of six months, and we crowned the Ego Power+ 21-Inch Self-Propelled Mower as the “Best Cordless Electric” model. Now, the brand has an elevated model available—and it’s a whopping 43% off right now at Amazon, saving you $449.

The model we tested comes with a 7.5Ah battery, which charges in an hour. The updated model (LM2135SP) includes that same 7.5Ah battery, but it also includes an additional 5Ah battery and a 550-watt charger.

Like the original model, the updated version’s 7.5Ah battery provides about an hour’s worth of mowing time. However, with the addition of the 5Ah battery, which charges in just 25 minutes, you can keep mowing after the original battery dies by using the smaller battery, too. As one reviewer said, the larger battery “is a beast,” while the smaller battery backup “is just icing on the cake.”

During testing, we liked that the original lawn mower tackled dry and damp gross, providing an even cut with both types. The original model also has an impressive six cutting positions. But the updated model that’s now on sale has a generous eight cutting positions, so you’re sure to get the precise height you’re after for the perfect lawn. Reviewers have said it “cuts well” and even “obliterates grass to power.”

Both models have mulching, bagging, and side discharge functions. The mulching function worked perfectly during our tests, even after we bagged and mulched wet leaves leftover from last season.

Like the original model we tested, the upgraded model folds for easy storage. It’s also self-propelled and allows you to adjust the speed as needed—an important feature to have when hills—or even mountains—are involved.

“The [self-propelled] feature was a lifesaver, especially [when going] up and down the hill,” wrote one shopper who lives on a mountainside.

The upgraded model comes with LED lights, so you can finish mowing even when dusk sneaks up on you. And shoppers say it’s quiet, so you won’t upset your neighbors: “This is my first electric mower, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It is quiet too! There's no loud engine noise to upset the neighbors,” shared a reviewer.

We liked the original Ego Power+ model so much during testing, so we can’t help but be excited about this new, elevated model that’s discounted right now by 43% and on sale for just $600.
