I’ve heard the fan gets loud but I feel like I can hear the fan and that buzzing isn’t it. This is a brand new charger that came with my weeder. First ever ego product. It’s so loud I can hear it in literally every room in my house.
I'm a part-time associate at a Lowe's in Eastern NC, which has been both a blessing and a curse as far as my Ego addiction is concerned...
Yesterday, a customer was looking for an electric chainsaw, and we discovered that the 20" chainsaw was half price (~$275 instead of $549). That price was found only by using the associate's handheld Zebra. That includes a 6ah battery and charger. The customer jumped on the deal.
Since the 6ah battery alone is ~$360, I set one aside for myself and picked it up at the end of my shift.
I'm not at work today, so I can't verify if this deal is still available. I also don't know if it's unique to my local Lowe's or if it's available at other stores.
So, if you're interested in this deal, it would be necessary for you to
GOOD LUCK!
I bought the SM2135 mower that came with the free 5ah battery. Ace didnt have the 5 so they gave me a 2nd 7.5amp!
Battery date is 2024 though for both batteries, does that matter or not a big deal?
Hey all, looking for opinions on whether a LM2135SP and 7.5Ah battery (deal at Lowes comes with an extra 5Ah battery), or a LM2156SP with one 10Ah battery would be better suited for a flat 0.7 acre lot? I looked for older posts and sounds like 2156 is a better product with more torque, but wondering if one 10Ah battery is better than a 7.5Ah and 5Ah.
Thanks!
I am looking to buy a battery hedge trimmer. We have a few bushes in front of our house and a row of privacy trees that are about 12 feet tall that I need to trim back each year. I do have 2 dewalt 60v 6ah batteries, and the 60v string trimmer and leaf blower.
However the EGO HT2601 is on sale with a battery for less than just the tool only on the dewalt. I am not sure if they are both built as well or if the dewalt is built better? I like the rotating handle on the EGO and the carbon fiber rail seems nice.
I ultimately want to get the one that will be most durable and last the longest.
I recently bought an 800 series mower. My only gripe are the plastic wheels. This would be a 10/10 if the wheels were rubberized instead of hard plastic.
The price on the bagger is just ridiculous.
I was looking at the Leaf Socks (leaf bag) that you attach to the Tube discharge chute.
Anyone ever try the generic chute ones they sell on amazooly?
I mainly just want to do this for Leaf collection.
OR maybe someone tried one of the Tow Behind Lawn Sweeper ?
Are either of these any good? I have two 5.0Ah batteries and a dual charger from our snow blower, so buying reconditioned, tool only could be good for us.
Hey everybody. Over the past two years I’ve slowly been replacing all my lawn care tools with the ego ecosystem. I had moved to an area where lawn care is actually possible and I’m still learning the ropes of a high quality lawn. So my question to you all is, what ego tools are the most useful to you. And which ego tools are in the “nice to have” category for you?
Within the ecosystem I currently have a snowblower, push mower (will upgrade to 0-Turn in a few years), multi head unit, string trimmer, edger, and dethatcher.
Considering for my next purchase to be a leaf blower or pressure washer. Haven’t committed to either just yet.
Thanks everyone, hope you all have a fantastic spring season
I finally got around to installing this rail system. Lowes had the 7 Piece set for 25 dollars a few months ago so I bought three of them. I am so happy to get stuff up off the floor!
Trying to figure out which direction to go. I have a 0.4-acre corner lot (Using online tools). Initially, I was leaning towards a push mower but looking at the yard, just feels like a lot of work, so decided to get a riding one but not sure if we should go with the tractor or a Zero turn. The land is flat with a minor slope in one spot but the lawn guy I had last 3 years used a Zero turn with no issue. I do have a cluster of about 3-4 trees in 2 spots in the back yard, but a mower should fit between them. We get a ton of leaves every year so looking for something that can mow as well as bag leaves. I do not have a shed right now but have a 2-car garage so will keep it there for now. I was initially leaning towards a tractor since the Zero turn feels like overkill but having never owned any riding mowers, I am not sure if there are drawbacks to a tractor. Thoughts?
I have the power load string trimmer, which in theory is great. It does not have Line IQ. My issue is that after about 10 minutes and I have bumped it several times for more string, the string jams. The head is ridiculously hard to get off, then you have to remove all the string and reload. Does anyone have ideas why this is? Do I need a new head? It is one year old but I live in Texas where the growing season is about 9 months a year. I’m so frustrated. The mower is a dream. But this trimmer is about to meet a hammer.
Getting tired of string with low life expectancy and looking at the metal blades or the metal wires that don't change out. Is there an aftermarket attachment compatible with the non-commercial grade power+ trimmer?
I walked into my garage and saw my 5ah batter was blinking. Nothing was touching the button, but it was blinking for whatever reason. Apparently it was doing it long enough for the light to be warm.
Should I be concerned?
Finally got TeeJet nozzles working on the EGO 4-gallon backpack sprayer — here's what actually worked
Spent a full 24 hours (in and out) trying to figure this out, so hopefully this saves someone some time.
The problem: The EGO wand has a proprietary tip that doesn't accept standard TeeJet nozzles, and getting it off is a pain.
What didn't work:
Penetrating oil (I tried it from Home Depot)
Regular WD-40 (not the silicone kind — they said that would work too, but nope)
Standard pliers — just marred up the wand
What finally worked:
7-inch curved channel-lock pliers (some of y'all might call them something else — don't roast me). The key is getting the pressure just right before turning. I thought the tip was fused on there, but it's not — no lock, no Teflon, nothing. Once I got the grip dialed in, it turned smoothly.
The mod:
Remove the proprietary tip with the channel pliers
Buy a Flow Zone 7-inch extension wand — take the quick connect coupler off of it
Thread that coupler onto the EGO wand where the tip was — use Teflon tape to seal it up
Attach your TeeJet nozzle via the Flow Zone quick connect
I swapped out the cheaper red TeeJet that came with it for a standard flat-fan TeeJet nozzle
Works great. Hope this helps someone!
I am looking to get an Ego snow blower before next winter. I saw a deal on a refurbished one without batteries. Usually the snowblowers come with 10ah batteries. I already own two 4ah batteries that came with the leafblower.
How impractical would it be to run the snowblower with my 4ah batteries?
This would be in New Hampshire, the driveway is small to medium sized. Maybe like 3 car lengths.
I have been watching this for a while and the nearest Lowe's has slowly been moving through inventory. Online it shows only 3 left but 9 are in store. Picked up for $75 with tax. I probably could have waited longer but I thought this was good enough of a deal.
