Ego Power+ LM2135SP Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Kit Review

The box holds the mower, a 7.5Ah battery, a rapid charger, a two-bushel grass collection bag, three interchangeable lower blades, and LED lights. LED lights are built into the mower for mowing at dawn or dusk.

The letters in the name carry the buying decision. SP means self-propelled, so the mower drives itself forward instead of relying on your push. The word kit means the version with the battery and charger included, as opposed to a bare-tool version sold without them. That difference is the single most common point of confusion for this model, and it is the one to check before you order.

The battery belongs to a 56V platform, so it can be shared with other tools in the same line. If you already own tools on that platform, the battery you get here is not locked to the mower.

The 21-inch width is the standard walk-behind size, wide enough to finish a lawn in a reasonable number of passes without making the mower hard to steer around beds. The height range runs from a close spring cut at 1.25 inches up to 4 inches for a longer summer cut, so you can let the grass grow in hot weather and still cut it cleanly. The 55.3 lb weight is what you lift and turn at the end of each row, and the 5-year tool warranty is the coverage that comes with the mower.

Cut quality and the Select Cut system

The twin-blade arrangement with three interchangeable lower blades lets you match the blade to the job: one for mulching, one for bagging, one for longer runtime. Buyers on Amazon most often praise the neat cut and the way the mower handles tall grass, and grass cutting performance comes up as a positive point again and again.

Self-propelled drive on hills

Touch Drive with the fingertip dial makes sloping and uneven ground easier to manage. Buyers on Amazon single out the self-propelled feature as a positive, particularly on hilly terrain, where a push mower would wear you out.

Runtime for a normal yard

The 7.5Ah battery is enough to mow a typical suburban lawn. Buyers on Amazon report that the battery lasts long enough to cut their whole yard, and battery life is one of the most frequently praised points.

Ease of use and weight

The mower is light enough to maneuver and simple to start, and buyers on Amazon rate ease of use and the light weight as positives. The LED lights extend mowing into dawn or dusk.

Bagging

The two-bushel bag is generous for a walk-behind and cuts down on emptying stops. Buyers on Amazon praise the bagging performance along with the overall cutting result.

Reliability is the mixed note. Most buyers on Amazon are positive, but a meaningful share reports the mower stopping working, and reliability is the topic where opinion divides. That is the one area to weigh before you buy.

Runtime is up to 60 minutes with the included battery. Heavy grass, wet conditions and constant self-propel will shorten it, so a larger lawn will want a second battery.

Blade changes are a chore: swapping among the three lower blades takes tools and patience.

The handle folds for upright storage, but at 55.3 lb and 39 inches long the mower is still a substantial object to store.

Buy it if you have a typical suburban lawn, want self-propel for slopes, want to bag and mulch, and want a battery and fast charger in the box.

Skip it if your lawn is large enough that one battery will not finish the job, if you want a metal deck, or if you rarely change blades and would rather not pay for the three-blade system.
