OT: Cordless Lawn Care (Mower, weed whacker, etc)

[HuskyAlum012]

Tried this in the Home and Garden forum and got no hits... First I want to say, yes I have read through the below threads, but these are both 3-4 years old now and feel like the tech for these dramatically change from year to year. Wondering how people have fared with battery powered lawn mowers, weed whackers, blowers, etc? I am purchasing my first home (with a yard, currently in a condo) at the end of September, and will be in the market for lawn care equipment. Seem to read mixed reviews on line so I am curious who actually has real life experience with some of these brands and how long their products have typically lasted. Any info would be appreciated!

Also will need a grill. What are the major differences between brands like Weber and Nexgrill/Dyna-glow? Is it really worth double the price for a Weber?

IT: Cordless Electric Lawn tools

I’m looking to get a battery powered weed-eater and am wondering if anyone had suggestions. I hate the gas/oil ones but I don’t want to deal with a ginormous extension cord. This would be my first battery powered outdoor tool & it seems to be the trend - I might one day get a lawn mower and...

OT: battery powered outdoor equipment

New(ish) homeowner here. I have been contemplating getting a chainsaw for some time, and my existing hand-me-down leaf blower just kicked the bucket. Considering getting a battery powered leaf blower/chainsaw that is operated by the same rechargeable battery pack. I know gas is better, and...

I have 40 and really need to upgrade to 80

After all the comments/suggestions, I am heavily leaning towards the Greenworks 60V suite of products I think. EGO seems to also get alot of hype in this thread, but the products seem pretty expensive as compared to greenworks. But I am assuming you would get what you pay for for electric lawn care products.

So I have been using my old 18v Ryobi leaf blower, which was never good for much except clearing the deck and garage, light leaf work on the driveway. I've got a gas backpack blower, but it's a chore to use it.

Thinking I'd probably be moving soon, I decided to plunge into the updated word of battery powered outdoor equipment. Read the thread and lots of reviews online and chose this bad boy. POWER+ 765 CFM Blower Most powerful handheld leaf blower. I tried it out briefly and hell yeah, I think it moves more air than my gas backpack blower. Run-time is way shorter but it will clear the driveway quickly and be able to push the piles into the woods. It's heavy, that's the downside.

Might look at batter pressure washers next now that I'm in the Ego system. If I get a house with a small yard, maybe a lawn mower. I'd probably need a dozen batteries to do my lawn.

While picking it up I admit the Stihl leaf blower looked really nice. That German engineering counts for something. But I think Ego has the better overall system with greater affordability.

Was using my 60V greenworks blower for the first time yesterday. Was pretty impressed with the power and run time, but definitely need a second battery for when it dies. was able to do about half my yard on 1 charge
