He got the multi-head as well with the tiller and trimmer heads. He also has the electric mower. All of the batteries are interchangeable...just depending what size you want or need. 2.5, 5 or 10.

Took them all up to my new place in Michigan and spent last week cutting trails through the woods.

Fun stuff.

How much lawn?

Big enough. I haven’t measured it. My guess is

How big is the lot and are you looking at ride on or no? We have 1/2 acre and have a Ryobi ride on. Works great.

2.1 acres. But the grass area is about 5000 sq ft. No riding mower.

What brand of electric tools do you have? An ego lawn mower should easily

I rarely get to weed-eat because my son loves using it so much.

I've had my Ego about 4 years, I'll never go back to gas.

The biggest Honda they sell. I think it's the GCV200 engine.

Just make sure you use an ethanol free gas or a ethanol removal additive

Hurry if you want a Honda. This is the last year in production

One reason why I’m leaning that way.

I regretted battery for my mower but I like battery for my edger/trimmer…

That’s the first negative take I’ve read on an electric mower. Most are happy with the switch. Easy start and no fumes.

There are a few others on CB that agree with me and prefer gas powered.

Which mower? Everyone saying they do t like electric aren't stating what yea

6/1/23 6:18pm

I didn’t get 75% of that, but the one I tried was a Ryobi. Don’t know which model, but it was $499. Couldn’t cut zoysia

Mike Honcho

Yep. Electric hated my southern grass. Way happier with gas.
