In-depth and honest review of the Ego Z6 42” mower after roughly 100 hours of use. Showcasing the ability and sharing tips on how to cut around 3 acres of grass on a single charge, as well as highlight performance of other Ego tools used in my lineup.

Happy to help answer any questions you may have on the EGO Z6 or any other EGO tools in my arsenal. Hope to remove any stigmata around electric lawnmowers not having the power or performance to keep up with gas competitors. As well as dispel myths around cutting coverage and charging times and accurately paint a picture of performance and usability, as well as provide tips along the way to prolong battery life for the best results.

  • i have the 52" model, just got it about a month ago. Really loving it. Coming from a Ryobi ZT. There's really no comparison. The Ego is superior in every way! i only have about 2 acres of mowable grass. I typically have 40-50% battery left when i am done depending mostly on the blade speed. Two things i noticed -- when i got it, the deck was not level. the manual says it should be pitched forward 1-5 mm (difference between rear and front blades). Mine was pitched 20 mm; excessive. so i had to fix that. I also mow at about 3.5, so i had to adjust the anti scalp wheels. while the manual says they ship from the factory in the B position, mine were way up in A, and i was scalping even small hills because of it. It came directly from Acme Tools on a crate, so it wasn't like someone else had put it together. Came like that from the factory.

    First cut with my Z6. Don't get the bagger. Clogs and fills too fast. After I took off bagger...awesome mower.

    I'm an injured veteran.I bought everything that ego makes Except for the broom And snow blower because I live in Florida. I'm happy with the lawn mower that I have. I spent extra money for the one that I'm using. The problem is that I have to keep going back to the v. A because my foot keeps bleeding when I walk. I was thinking about getting the writing one. But it doesn't go up in a hills.That's almost $7000.For something that don't go up on slight hill It's only one hill. I don't know what the grade of it is. I cut part of the front of the lawn yes, today but then I had to stop to make sure my foot wasn't bleeding. My property is on less than a third of an acre. I wish I could get some help from ego. All the items were purchased at Lowe's. U s vet 1966 1968
  • U should consider buying the nexus power station. With all those batteries its a great addition. I have it. Its great when the power goes out
  • @johnt4761
    Sick review, will definitely have to get my hands on one!
  • I have the same mower Use the same battery configuration u used. I can can mow my 2.5 acres of flat land. Usually under 10 percent left.
  • @duffsvids
    Can you show the skid plates on the snowblower and then how it does with the gravel driveway? I got a gravel driveway and all sites say you need a three stage snowblower for gravel. Thanks if you do. Good review.
  • I can’t find a video on this mower over dense grass. I live on canal and have irrigation and have st Augustine grass. Would love to see how it works after you put in irrigation
  • @tduckwall1010
    Thanks for the video. I'm ordering one of these this week and very excited about it. Do you use the snowblower on that drive? I have a very similar property and am thinking about the snowblower. Thanks again.
  • @benbp2325
    I love the mower. Mine makes that squeaking sound also. Any thoughts on where it’s coming from?
  • @diananunes9470
    How is it on hills? Any slipping? Would you recommend a larger deck for hills?
  • Attach some Solar Panels to the Mower and use it as a Powerwall.. Would last for a Day or so ? Well conservatively..
  • @kpcpc007
    Good review. If you lift the front up to remove the blades for sharpening. How heavy is it and how high can the front be lifted before the rear of the mower touches the ground?
  • @dondicey6528
    My ESteer 42" has had an error code 401 issue since hour 1 (9 total now) and haven't been able to resolve. Have you had any dealings with EGO CS? Have done the software updates and "calibration" of steering wheel with no resolve. Any help would be appreciated. DD
  • @Punisher398
    What is the width? Could it fit through a 50” gate?
  • @vroor32
    About that hitch for the gorilla cart. Where did you get it?
  • @Fishneck10
    So 13% left while cutting weeds. How much left after cutting grass
  • @badtoro
    I want to make a hovercraft out of it

    No disrespect, but nothing special about Ego brand. They are made in China.
