Cordless electric purchase: EGO 20" 56V vs. GreenWorks G-MAX Twin Force 20" 40V

Hey everyone,



First time homebuyer, so new to the landscaping and lawn mowing world. I am strongly considering an electric cordless mower for mowing our ~12K sq ft yard. Our entire lot is a tad less than 0.3 acre (including the home and driveway), so I believe a cordless mower should suffice.



I had been leaning towards the GreenWorks G-MAX Twin Force 20" 40V mower for the past week, but just stumbled across the EGO 20" 56V mower yesterday during my weekly run to Home Depot. Both mowers have great reviews, but the EGO has a better warranty and some nice bonuses, like compact upright storage and 30 minute full charge time.



Here's my detailed product comparison:

GreenWorks G-MAX Twin Force 20" 40V Mower

• Includes 2 4AH Lithium Ion


• 75 hour run time


• 2 hour charge time


• 50.5 pounds (with battery)


• 2-in-1: bagging or mulching


• Energy conservation - automatically powers up when sensing grass buildup


• 4-year warranty equipment; 2-year warranty battery


• Non-compact storage (handle collapses, but unit is not foldable)


• $350.99 (no tax or shipping; 2.5% cashback on FatWallet) on CPO Outlets

EGO 20" 56V Lithium Ion Mower

• Includes 1 56V Lithium Ion Battery


• 45 hour run time


• 30 minute charge time


• 62 pounds (with battery)


• 2-in-1: bagging or mulching


• 5-year warranty equipment; 3-year warranty battery


• Compact upright storage


• $471.24 after sales tax less 10% coupon + 5% ShopDiscover cashback at Home Depot (retails for $499.99+tax)

Obviously the GreenWorks is a great deal for 30 more minutes of runtime, an extra 40V LiIon battery, and a lighter mower. Tradeoff is 1 less year warranty for both equipment and battery, a longer charge time, larger storage requirement and I've heard GreenWorks customer support is somewhat troublesome (haven't heard much about EGO's customer support).



Also, for what it's worth, I have a $346 Home Depot gift card received as a housewarming gift I could use on the EGO, but not the GreenWorks, obviously.



So, with all this said, would you pay the extra $111 for the EGO or save some money (but pay out of pocket) for the GreenWorks?
