I've been doing a lot of "research" (reading online) about battery-powered mowers, and it seems like the two best brands are Ego and Greenworks, and within these brands their top-of-the-line products respectively are the Ego Power+ 21" Select Cut XP Self-Propelled https://egopowerplus.com/21-inch-self-propelled-mower-select-cut-xp-lm2156sp/ and the Greenworks Pro 80v 21" Self-Propelled https://www.greenworkstools.com/pro-80v-21-inch-self-propelled-cordless-lawn-mower-2533902. Both are about $800 as of this writing. If anyone knows of a better battery-powered mower at this price point please let me know as I'm only bought into the Dewalt battery system at this point and they are not in my consideration set for a mower.
At any rate, my question is which top-of-the-line model from Ego and Greenworks is better. I've read some comparisons that boil it down to this: Greenworks has more power, and Ego has better design and features that make your life easier. The examples given on the design argument were that Ego easily folded up and could be stacked vertically, whereas Greenworks was more like a traditional mower that had to be disassembled. Additionally, Greenworks has a little delay in accelerating the self-propelled feature whereas Ego was instantaneous. However, if you look at the latest Greenworks model (link above), it touts "EZ Fold" (trademark) technology and has these green hinges about 2/3 of the way up the handles, and it shows pictures of it being stacked vertically. So, it seems that Greenworks may have caught up on this particular feature, but I'm not sure about the rest. If the fold-and-stack is basically the same at this point, that plus the greater power of the Greenworks would probably be enough for me to go with them, but I don't think I've fully understood the tradeoffs across the two brands / models.
I'm planning to go to Lowes to see if i can get my hands on both before I make a decision, but I thought I'd put it to this group of wise lawn experts to see if folks here had an opinion.
