Another important difference to note is warranty, 2yr commercial with ego and 3yr standard and 5yr with registration with makita, commercial, worlds apart. Makita runs same deck size etc as honda so you can use aftermarket replacement blades for hru216 which are cheap as chips compared to ego bar blade.

Great content, well done. I got booted out of lmca for talking negatively about ego and how their power doesnt match makitas even though on paper they are meant to be far more powerful. Be very careful saying anything less than positive about ego, the fanbois will get ya.

Looks good. What is it like cutting through thicker stuff, if say you want to reduce the height of a hedge and cut through more wood stuff?

Thanks for the awesome review. Wondering, as a non-commercial user, whether you know how long the 5 amp battery happens to run for?

Very helpful. Thanku

Nice review.. How would this compare to the stihl hla94r.. Thanks

Its fun to hear that the 325 is your favorite and it might help me. I want the Combi Devices privately and this is one...just wondering: Did you use it with hedge trimmer? I wonder if its wobbly, because my main use would be trimming my hedges. They have specialized, non combi devices, especially a telescopic one...but I see it a waste of resources to buy more devices with more motor units, while you can get an all in one solution.

Have you found the adjustment axle on straight over time is a few degrees off? I think the hole that the pin goes into has been stretched which makes it tougher when you want to cut it flat on top of the hedge?

The high lift blade on the Ego makes a difference if you aren't using it. About $50

I need you to do more videos with the ego 56v lawnmower 22inch lawnmower more than your Masport I want to see more videos with this mower please I love ❤️ your videos please

With Husqvarna gearbox craping out. Did U grease it up every 6 months? Cheers Graham

When can we get more comparison videos from you mate. Love your videos

Great review, I have an ego multi-tool and find the balance off using a 5AH battery, but much better balance all round with a 2.5AH battery.

Thanks for the video. Yes, please disconnect the spark plug before attempting to replace the blades. And the spring washers need to be oriented the correct way - flat side facing the blade disc, curved edges facing the actual blade. It was good that you put one or two of them on the wrong way to show everyone what happens if you put them on the wrong way. Ideally reseat all nuts using a torque wrench as per the operation manual specification. Note some Honda mowers only have two blades installed on the blade disk, while other Honda mowers like yours have four blades. The mowers with the mulching feature usually have four blades. It is possible to install four blades on a Honda mower that doesn't have a mulching feature but usually not necessary if you are just cutting grass and collecting it in the grass catcher. Cheers from the Land Down Under.

Lol dudes just mowing some random park

Pourqoi faire une démonstration alors que tu na rien à tondre autan prendre une tondeuse fiskars

Thanks for the video. im interested in replacing my commercial mower with this. I have had 2 ego mowers already and have a decent lineup of ego tools. Re measuring the blade speed, you need a “non contact” tachometer. they come with a reflective sticker that you put on anything that turns, run it and take a reading. done.

Looking at getting Makita Combi. Switching from Stihl Km 94 petrol. How does service and repair compare for commercial use? How is the MAKITA going after a few years? Thanks

hey idk if you'll see this or not but what do you recon about the 2 size differences in the Makita. there's the 19 inch and 21 inch. im leaning towards the 19inch because of its compact size but wondering if you think the 21 inch is just the way to go. Thanks

How on earth is the ego struggling in that in height 3. The thing is a torque monster and cuts amazingly well, i tried it in wet grass at cut height 1 last week as a stress test and that didnt stop it. Its heavy as hell though.

I own the ego and it genuinely coped with 1ft high grass on the lower power level. Obviously I cut high then a second pass on low but no issues. And on normal short grass like that I never use the high power mode because I just never need to. Also its a way better bagger than my old Honda petrol mower and really fills the bag. I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about ref the ego struggling. Its almost scary powerful. I agree the ego is heavy and mowing all day with it might be harder but its their commercial line and the weight means the cut is more even as the wheels hit the soil not float on the grass like a lighter mower. That's something that electric mowers often suffer from because they are lighter than a petrol engine. I don't have the makita for comparison but my ego is a tank and for me thats a good thing. Compare them again in 5 years time maybe?

Don’t know why I keep watching these battery mower video’s, I have no intention of moving from my petrol mower (Stihl RM545 VR) anytime soon. Of the two on show I’d have the Makita.

Hi pal, looks great. I need an all rounder for my garden business... would this accept polesaw attachment?

I wanted this aluminum model to replace my 20" EGO. However, I just ordered the TR4204. Now, I'm afraid it will be overkill. I may have to settle for the new composite one. I would like to see a comparison of them to ensure I'm not going to be missing out on something worthwhile. Great video from a knowledgeable user!

Excellent video mate, great testing on a difficult lawn, over a flat perfect lawn, a real world test 👌

Great video, thanks mate!! Have you had a chance to have a go with the Husqvarna 230ib blower yet? I’m very tempted to upgrade 😅

LoveLawn must be in bed with Makita, given kept saying ego “struggled” on household grass, where there videos on yt showing its domestic mower ie the select cut leaving a nice finish on 6-8 inch long grass stress tests. EGO going down the right path by focusing in yard and garden care. Makita is just an expensive variant or Roybi in the terms dipping its fingers in multiple different industries and not focusing to be great at one main industry.

would be sweet to see the Milwaukee mower compared to these

Love the video. Have you used it in the rain much?

Great video. They don't seem much quieter than my Honda 4 strokes...but that's probably your mic. So much easier to maintain though, fewer parts & no fumes or pull-starting. The only reason landscaping power tools require an internal combustion engine these days is for those power-demanding jobs. Otherwise they're already becoming obsolete!

Awesome comparisons!

Great video mate 🙂🤙🏻

Again, a lot of talk about how one mower 'struggled' to cut the grass but no actual video evidence or what happened one week ago when it 'struggled'/

Is that the same Ego Commercial mower you reviewed 5 months ago? Certainly holding up well after 5 months of commercial use, pristine you might say. Hell, even the catcher looks perfect after 5 months of use, not even a stray blade of grass. I can see how one week of growth can make a great comparison for mowers, especially when that one mower was there a week ago and 'struggled'.

I've got the 19 inch Makita XGT lawn mower LM001G. Fantastic at bagging. It cuts thick tall kikuyu easily. I have mowed a few times on wet grass but it cakes a grass ring near the blades (resistance) and wants to stick to the plastic blocking the exit chute. You will get by on a maintenance cut but not overgrown wet grass without tipping mower over to scoop the grass out of deck every several meters. You can fold the handle bars in half so it can fit in the boot/rear of car easily. I agree 100% with your assessment of the Makita mower. Have had the lawn care tools for a year and 8 months and recommend their 40v max tools. 👍

Thank you for this interesting comparison video. On the EGO LMX5300SP 21" cut width mower there is option to do a "Pitch Cut" by having the front wheels lower than the rear wheels to gain more air suction when bagging like most professionals would do on their riding mower. Maybe that setup would help for you. On the North American side there is a single battery Select Cut LM2206SP with dual blades and no hitch at the bag setup. Some professional owners on the Facebook have both of them and swapped out the single blade and fan, flange bolt & washer of the LMX5300SP with the LM2206SP's High Lift dual blade with the listed items below that cost ~$50 USD and found it cuts better since the dual blades setup produces finer clips (fills more into the bag) and less possibility of clumps. Maybe try ordering these accessories from US or available neighboring country and try it out to see the cut will improve even though it will have a little bit decrease on the runtime: egopowerplus.com/mpattachment/file/download/id/3430/ #10 LM2200SP 5640538001 Mushroom Head Square N: x2 #11 LM2200SP 5630543001 Prevailing Torque Type: x2 #12 LM2200SP 5650705002 Washer: x1 #13 LM2200SP 5640226002 Flange Bolt: x1 #20 LM2200SP 3300082001 Fan: x1 #101 LM2200SP 2851767001 Upper Blade: x1 #102 LM2200SP 3709140001 High-lift bagging blade: x1 The reason the LMX5300SP only has single blade setup is to cut down the time for the professionals when sharpening the blade daily as a commercial tool while the residential units like the Makita and the EGO LM2206SP have multiple blades as the home owners may demand better cut quality and would have more time to sharpen multiple blades during the down time more often.

Very nice video makita xgt 480mm is even batter when we talk about power becouse it has the same motor but smaller blade.

Great video! thanks for the comparison. I was expecting a bit more from the Ego.

Thanks mate great review been looking at the makita with great interest and your review has helped me greatly .I am though not sure on your head gear but for protection is seems a good idea ,in Melbourne we cannot get passed 20 c much and its nearly summer lol ..great work again thank you

Ideally i would like a hedger woth power pack

Let's see one with ego vs husky on the Hedger! Cheers

Would love to see more reviews comparing all these 5 brands with some of the newer who gears

Makita xgt small hadger has 5000 strokes per minute

Stihl SHA 56 seems to be the next level up from the Husqy with a bit more power.

what if you dont have a steady pair of arms or hands?

Hey mate,I just picked one up. Only just had a quick play so far, but it feels very good. I'm keen to get out and give it a good go. Just one question: What cord do you use with it? I noticed it has 2mm cord. However, i usually use 2.4mm. I guess it will just reduce run time a little.

Just bought the 480mm version, which I bought on a bit of a whim, and as a bit of a fluke with not much research. Love, love it! Really like how when the handles fold down, the bottom handle can be so easily locked with those twist pins. That makes the whole thing rigid and easier to pick up and haul around, from the back of the ute to the shed. And I love that honking great lift handle bolted on at the back, as well as the nice rounded grip under the front! Another thing I love: the rear wheels protrude back past the catcher door with plenty of clearance so that if you're taking it down stairs, you'll never snag the catcher door on the stairs, like you can with some other mowers. Oh, and one more thing: the way they've done that "10" setting way up higher than the others so that you've got a mower with massive clearance when you're moving it between places, or navigating wide tread garden steps ...

Nice review, wish I had watched it before buying the Stihl, was just keen on keeping all my battery equipment the same as i already have couple hedgers and saw from them. but going from a stihl fs94 to the fs135 is quite a bit heaver at the ass end and not really liking the weight too much, getting a bit of a sore arm, thinking about checking out the husky as its 1kg lighter.

Hello. Did you try the new 525 IHE3 And the new combi 525 ILK ?

Thanks mate, thinking about starting up a business over here in WA. I'll be checking out some more of your videos.
