EGO Power+ LM2134SP-2 Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Review

The box holds two 6.0Ah batteries, the Select Cut system, the self-propel system, a two-bushel grass collection bag and LED lights. The mower itself runs on one battery at a time, so on a bigger lawn you stop and swap packs partway through. It does not draw from both at once.

That makes the runtime figure a total rather than a single charge. The up to 100 minutes is the two packs used back to back under favorable conditions, meaning light grass and the extended-runtime blade.

In the box you get the two 6.0Ah batteries, the Select Cut system, the self-propel system, a two-bushel grass collection bag and LED lights.

Cutting power in tough grass

The brushless motor delivers up to 7.0 ft-lb of torque, which is why it keeps blade speed up in thick or damp grass instead of stalling. This is the core strength of the machine, and buyers on Amazon most often praise its performance, with battery life the next most mentioned positive.

Select Cut blade system

One fixed upper blade plus interchangeable lower blades let you match the blade to the job.

Self-propel with dial speed control

The self-propel engages with a palm control and the pace is set with a dial at your fingertips, so you can adjust speed as you go. Buyers on Amazon rate the self-propel highly.

Battery life across a large lawn

With two packs, the mower covers a substantial residential lawn in one session, provided you accept the mid-job swap. Buyers on Amazon often mention battery life as a strength for large lawns.

Ease of use and quiet operation

Buyers on Amazon consistently praise how easy the mower is to run and how much quieter it is than gas, which helps for early-morning or evening mowing. The LED lights add visibility at dawn or dusk.

Three-in-one clipping handling

You can mulch, bag into the two-bushel bag or side-discharge, so one machine covers routine cuts and heavier cleanup.

Storage and warranty

The mower folds and stores upright. The tool warranty is 5 years.

Runtime is conditional

The 100-minute figure assumes light grass and the extended-runtime blade. In thick, damp or tall grass with the bagging blade, expect meaningfully less per pack.

One battery at a time

Because the mower runs on a single pack, you will stop and swap mid-mow on bigger lawns. There is no seamless draw from both batteries.

Heavy machine

At 96 lb, this is not a light push mower. The self-propel carries it during normal mowing, but lifting, loading and maneuvering at low speed take effort.

No reverse assist

The self-propel has no reverse, so backing up means disengaging the drive and pulling the mower back by hand. That is a real drawback in tight spaces, around beds, and for anyone who finds a heavy mower hard to drag.

Cutting performance is mixed for some owners

Buyers on Amazon are divided on cutting performance and on how well it handles clippings. While many say it cuts well and handles thick or damp grass, some report uneven cuts and some find it struggles in high grass.

Cutting-height range

The adjustable cutting height runs from 1.5 to 4 inches. The lowest setting is not a scalp-tight cut, which matters if you like a very short lawn.

The torque figure is the reason to pick this machine over lighter cordless mowers, and the weight is the reason the self-propel matters.

Buy it if

• You have roughly a quarter- to half-acre lawn of fast-growing grass.
• You are moving off gas and want comparable cutting power without the fuel and noise.
• You want mulch, bag and side-discharge flexibility from one machine.

Skip it if

• Your lawn is small or thin, where this is more machine than you need.
• Your yard is steep or very uneven.
• You have tight gates or do a lot of backing up, given the weight and the lack of reverse assist.
• Your lawn is well over half an acre, where you will be swapping batteries and want a wider deck.
• You want the lightest possible push mower.
