One of the Best Electric Lawnmowers Is $450 Off Right Now
If you have a lawn, chances are you have a lawnmower. Even if you're doing an unkempt, native, English-style garden around the fire pit and Weber grill in the backyard, that HOA is going to make you keep the front manicured like every other yard in the neighborhood. Used to be, you had to use a gas-guzzling push mower, but these days there are fully electric options... if you're willing to spend. Ego has become one of the big names in electric lawnmowers, but its models will cost you about $500, and that creeps up to $1,000 once you start adding additional batteries and external chargers.
Luckily though, Amazon currently has a on the Ego Power+ 21-Inch Select Cut XP Electric Lawn Mower, one of the best battery-powered models on the market. You can get it, bundled with two batteries and a rapid charger, for $450 off retail. It's been marked down for a little over a week on Amazon, and after a quick sellout, it’s back in stock, still 43-percent discounted.

If this is your first foray into electric mowers—or even the first time you're ever buying a lawnmower—let me give you a quick summary on what makes Ego so good. The first thing, and what distinguishes it from the rest of the market, is that it folds up for storage. The handle swivels overtop, and the whole thing stands upright against a wall.
As for the hardware, it's got a rechargeable 7.5Ah Battery that'll run for an hour on a single charge. If you're hustling—and this model has self-propel to help you hustle—one hour can get you through the front or back yard of a one acer plot. But honestly, an electric mower is best for homeowners with less than an acre. That said, this bundle includes a second battery (which would run you $200 on its own) and a rapid charger that’ll have you fully rebooted in 60 minutes, so it's the best possible scenario for big suburban yards. Add to that multiple, interchangeable blades under the hood that make this chore less of a chore with a faster cutting experience. And since it's a simple battery-powered piece of equipment, out-of-warranty repairs are usually nothing more than simple wiring.
To go back to the blades for a second, you have three options here: There’s an affixed lower blade, and then you can swap in one of three upper blades to meet your needs. The mulching blade comes installed for a straightforward weekly mowing experience. Use the high-lift bagging blade when you need more suction power for longer grass and more clippings, or go with the extended runtime blade for larger lawns. The mower also features self-adjusting height capabilities that go from one to four inches depending on the length of the grass.
The full bundle is marked down to $600 from its original price of $1050, for a savings of $450, and comes with the Ego Power+ 21-Inch Self-Propelled lawnmower, a 7.5-amp-hour (Ah) battery, rapid charger, and a backup BA2800T 5.0-Ah battery. The deal went fast the first go-around, so if you're interested, I wouldn't hesitate this time around.
