Lawn Mower is no different and raises the standard of consumer electric mowers.

About EGO
As we said, EGO was only established in 2013. Yet, in just over a decade the EGO brand has received the same level of respect as some of the most long-standing power tool and OPE brands. This is largely due to EGO’s battery technology.
EGO did not invent the first electric lawn mower, but many consumers weren’t sold on the technology until EGO electric mowers showed them that electric can compete with gas OPE.
EGO has only improved its battery power and OPE products. Today’s EGO 56V 10.0Ah ARC Lithium™ battery gives consumers and professionals an unprecedented amount of electric OPE performance.

EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower Features Review
Let’s take a closer look at the top features on this new EGO mower.
Cutting System
The 2024 EGO Lawn Mower has a Select Cut™ Multi-Blade Cutting System. This mower has a two-blade cutting system with upper deck blades and interchangeable lower blades. The two blades gives it twice the cutting power. The two blade work with the motor and battery to provide up to 11.1 ft-lbs of cutting torque and achieve blade speeds all the way up to 3,350 RPM.
The double blade action combined prevents those stubborn single blades or even patches of grass that sometimes escape the first pass of the lawn mower.
Lifetime Aluminum Deck
The 22 in. aluminum deck is extremely durable and anti-rust. That means you should never experience dents or rust during the mower’s lifespan. But if you do the aluminum deck is backed by a lifetime warranty.
When the deck is paired with the built-in High-Lift Bagging Blade it gives the mower the suction power to minimize leftover grass clippings and prevent the deck from clogging. Mower also comes with a 2.5-bushel bagger for grass collection.
Adjustments & Customization
The blades have two cutting adjustments with eight different positions with a cut height range of one to four inches.
Mower speed can be set between 0.9 to 3.1 MPH.
Folds up for compact and easy storage.

The LED headlights have three settings in addition to on and off. These settings are ECO, Normal, and Turbo.
Runtime
EGO tested this battery to provide up to 70 minutes of runtime when paired with the included EGO 56V 10.0Ah ARC Lithium™ battery.
Warranty
The 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower and EGO 56V 10.0Ah ARC Lithium™ battery are backed by a 5-year warranty, and the aluminum deck is backed by a lifetime warranty.
EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower Performance Review
Check out Dan’s video to see the 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower in action on Instagram.
We also have some thoughts not shared in the video.
Tools in Action is based in the Chicago area. We have received a lot of rain recently. This grass wasn’t wet, but still moist from a week of on and off rainfall. It’s also very dense grass and grows rapidly right now. All of this together can create grass that is just a nightmare to cut.
I know we just cut a small patch of grass, but the 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower tackled it with no fight. Dan and I are already fighting over who gets to take this EGO lawn mower home.
Value of EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower
The 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower retails for $1,199 at Amazon, ACE Hardware, and anywhere else EGO OPE is sold. This price includes an EGO 56V 10.0Ah ARC Lithium™ battery and charger. The battery alone has a $500 value and is a huge factor into EGO’s high-quality performance that sets it above the competition.
The EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower may be the most expensive self-propelled lawn mower currently on the market. The STIHL RMA 510 V 21 in. 36 V Battery Self-Propelled Lawn Mower prices similarly once you add in the 36V battery. It also has a comparable performance of about 60 minutes of runtime, has seven height adjustments, and a steel deck. However, one big thing other lawn mowers are lacking is the cutting torque and blade speeds of the EGO.
When every lawn mower brand is conducting their own tests with different standards it’s hard to compare them side-by-side. So here is what you need to know the 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower’s performance compared to competitors.
The power built into the EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower allows it cut through taller and denser grass (or weeds or general foliage) with less drain on the battery. The power combined with the torque and blade speeds and superior bagging suction you are going to experience less stalls and clogs.
Overall, you can’t compare the 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower to other consumer self-propelled lawn mowers on the market because it’s a new level of quality and performance.
Final Review
The 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower has raised the bar on consumer self-propelled electric lawn mowers. However, are we surprised? EGO has been a leader in electric OPE since they entered the game.
The 2024 EGO 22 in. Lawn Mower is a high-end consumer option, but great for consumers with average sized to larger lawns, or want to glide through dense leaves and weeds.
Once again, this EGO Lawn Mower can be purchased through Amazon & ACE Hardware.
The 22 inch is much heavier, and none of the reviews I have read addresses this. Older people, and perhaps women, do not have the strength to deal with the added weight, especially for lawns with awkward turns when mowing. It was very heavy to lift compared to my EGO.
Agree but I don’t think this is to replace their other mowers. This is for the people who still like the metal decks.
