I’m a Milwaukee guy, but I bought one of the first ego mowers in 2016 when they were still sold at Home Depot, and it still runs well today even with original battery. Now I have 2 battery platforms - M18 for my tools, and ego for my lawn stuff. I love ego so damn much. My problem with this is it only does 1.2gpm, and no electrical cord as a backup for the battery is a huge miss for my needs, but maybe not others. Still, this look absolutely awesome and I will definitely invest in a gen 2 model if they change those things for my needs. Hope you enjoy it!
Regret buying, not recommended. The status lights to tell you powered on/off, pressure level, and Bluetooth pairing are invisible in normal cloudy or sunny daylight. This is true for the unit itself and for the gun/handle. NOTE: the status lights on the batteries are clearly visible in sunlight. This means that one cannot tell if the unit is powered on/off, the pressure level, or Bluetooth pairing. When turning the unit off, the unit continues to run for 10-15 seconds so one is not sure if you pressed the button hard enough the first time. This is particularly a problem if one uses hearing protection when using this unit. I returned the unit after one use.

I still kick myself for not buying some ego stuff when home depot put it all on clearance.
Im waiting on my replacement. My pump split in two pieces on the second use.
Dang, I've used mine about 6 times, with no issues. I'm glad they replaced it for you.

Good feedback, thanks
If you just had hernia surgery, turn the box sideways and slide it out along the floor. 🤷🙄
That would've been smart. I like to live on the edge. Thanks though
