EGO's New Outdoor Power Lineup: Five Cordless Tools Worth a Look

Introduction

EGO has built a reputation as one of the strongest names in cordless outdoor power equipment for homeowners, and the latest batch of releases does little to change that. This roundup covers five new tools: a 21-inch self-propelled walk-behind mower, a 765 CFM handheld blower, a smart string trimmer with automatic line feed, a 16-inch chainsaw, and a 42-inch zero turn riding mower. Each one targets a different job around the yard, and together they give a good picture of where cordless outdoor power equipment is heading.

EGO 21” Select Cut Touch Drive Walk-Behind Mower

The 21-inch Select Cut mower with Touch Drive technology is the headline release. It uses a multi-blade system with three interchangeable blades, so you can pick the blade type that matches the level and style of cut your lawn needs. Touch Drive gives you one-hand self-propelled control, which helps on large, steep, or curvy lots, and the bigger rear wheels provide better traction and control than smaller rear wheels on some earlier models.

Height adjustment is handled with an easy-to-grip lever and offers seven settings, which combined with the interchangeable blade system makes dialing in your cut straightforward. Runtime is rated at 60 minutes with the 7.5 Ah ARC Lithium battery, or 80 minutes with a 10 Ah battery. Because the batteries are removable, running two 7.5 Ah packs gets you roughly 120 minutes, and two 10 Ah packs get you about 160 minutes.

One design point worth appreciating: the deck is impact-resistant polymer rather than metal. It will not dent, it does not rust, scratches are barely visible, and it keeps the mower lighter. The mower also folds up compactly enough to hang on a wall, includes LED lights for early morning or late evening mowing, and has a front grip that gives you two pickup points when moving it around, so you are not reaching your fingers under the deck.

At launch, the full kit with battery and charger is priced at $700. Factory refurbished units are also worth considering if you want to save money, since refurbished stock has been inspected and repaired.

EGO 765 CFM Handheld Blower

EGO claims this is the most powerful handheld blower on the market, including gas models. It moves 765 CFM and reaches speeds up to 200 mph with the tapered nozzle attached, delivering up to 90 minutes of runtime on a single charge with the 5 Ah battery.

The blower uses a high-efficiency brushless motor, which is what makes that combination of power and runtime possible at 56 volts. In practical terms, that means it can move rocks, leaves, and wet leaves, which are usually the hardest material for any blower to shift.

Turbo mode handles the really stubborn piles, and a variable speed cruise control lets you set the speed and work without holding the trigger the whole time. At $300, the kit includes the blower, charger, battery, and a flat nozzle. Accessories worth noting include a gutter cleaning attachment that hooks over the gutter edge, letting you clear gutters from the ground instead of climbing a ladder.

EGO PowerLoad Line IQ String Trimmer

This one is billed as the world’s first smart trimmer. The Line IQ technology senses when the trimmer needs more line and auto-feeds it, which would eliminate both the bump-to-feed routine and the stop-and-adjust routine that frustrate most trimmer owners.

The specs back up the smart features: a 16-inch cutting swath, a carbon fiber shaft for lightweight strength and rigidity, a digital power selector so you can see exactly how much power you are using, telescoping shaft adjustment, and PowerLoad technology where you feed the line in and press a button to auto-load it.

The telescoping shaft and adjustable power output make this a good match for rough yards with slopes, crevices, and tall grass. It is priced at $300 with battery and charger. EGO also offers around 38 different combo configurations, and many use attachment-capable heads that accept an edger, pole saw, or hedge trimmer.

EGO 16” Chainsaw

A 16-inch chainsaw is a sensible size for the average homeowner: smaller saws lean toward shrub-clearing duty, while anything larger is serious timber territory. This one delivers 130 cuts on a single charge when running two 5 Ah batteries, with performance equivalent to a 40cc gas engine and a 20 m/s chain speed to get jobs done fast.

It uses a high-efficiency brushless motor and includes tool-free tensioning, so you do not have to hunt for a tool mid-job to adjust the chain. A kickback brake is standard. At $269, the kit includes the chainsaw, battery, and charger, though it is currently a pre-order with a later ship date. If 130 cuts is not enough, swapping in spare batteries extends the work.

EGO Z6 42” Zero Turn Riding Mower

The Z6 zero turn is the flagship of this release. Powered by four 10 Ah batteries, it uses Peak Power technology for the equivalent of a 22 horsepower engine and is rated to cut up to two acres per charge. In realistic conditions, expect somewhat less than the full two-acre claim, though likely closer to it than a typical manufacturer rating would suggest. With the charger accepting up to six batteries, six 10 Ah packs push runtime to around three acres.

The LCD panel lets you customize the ride and shows the type of cut you are making. Controls include start and stop buttons, a key, a phone slot, a USB charger for your phone, and Bluetooth connectivity so you can monitor the batteries from your phone. Importantly, it uses the same EGO batteries as the rest of the tool lineup, which is not true of every electric riding mower brand.

Comfort gets real attention too: a fully adjustable seat with shock absorption, high-intensity LED lights, and accessories including a bagger kit, mulch plug, onboard storage bins, a sun shade, and a lift-style blade set designed to create extra suction for better bagging. A 52-inch deck version is also available if you want to cover ground faster.

The 42-inch model with four 10 Ah batteries comes in at $5,500, and the 52-inch with four batteries is $7,000. This is not a budget purchase. It makes sense for someone with two to three acres who wants a consistently great cut in comfort, with the reassurance of genuine lithium-ion batteries rather than the lead-acid setups some competing electric zero turns still use.

Buying Advice

If you are starting from zero, the walk-behind mower at $700 is the most broadly useful entry point, and the blower and trimmer at $300 each round out a full cordless yard kit. The chainsaw at $269 fills a seasonal need for most homeowners. The Z6 zero turn only makes sense for larger properties, but the shared battery platform across all five tools is a genuine long-term advantage: every battery you buy works across the whole lineup.

Where you buy matters as well. Retailers with the broadest EGO lineup tend to have the best pricing, and factory refurbished units are a legitimate way to save, since they arrive inspected and repaired.

Conclusion

This lineup covers nearly every cutting job a homeowner faces, and the standout themes are power that rivals gas, removable batteries shared across tools, and thoughtful details like tool-free tensioning, auto-feeding trimmer line, and wall-foldable mower storage. For small to mid-size yards, the mower, blower, trimmer, and chainsaw form a complete cordless kit. For large properties, the Z6 zero turn brings genuine lithium-ion riding-mower performance, provided the price fits your budget.
