Quick verdict
For most yards the EGO POWER+ Select Cut LM2135SP is the standout. It pairs the multi-blade Select Cut system with Touch Drive self-propel and a large 7.5Ah battery rated for up to 60 minutes of run time, so it handles a full lawn on one charge with the cutting quality EGO built its reputation on.
EGO POWER+ Select Cut LM2135SP (21 inch, Self-Propelled)
This is EGO's flagship walk-behind and it shows in the details, combining the Select Cut multi-blade system for adjustable cutting with Touch Drive self-propel that you control from the handle. The included 56V 7.5Ah battery is rated for up to 60 minutes of run time, which is enough for most single-charge lawns, and the 7 height positions span 1.5 to 4 inches.
The best EGO lawn mower picks compared by Select Cut deck, Touch Drive self-propel, battery run time and cutting height, so you match the model to your yard
Why you should trust this guide
I looked at EGO’s walk-behind lineup the way a buyer choosing within one battery ecosystem should, by comparing the models on the features that actually change your mowing day rather than on brand hype. EGO is a well-regarded name in cordless outdoor power, and its 56V ARC Lithium platform is shared across all of these mowers, so the real decision is which deck, drive system and battery size fit your lawn. I kept the comparison grounded in the specs EGO publishes for each model.
What guided the ranking was cutting system, self-propel, and run time, since those three separate the flagship from the value and budget models. The Select Cut multi-blade deck and Touch Drive self-propel are the features owners notice most, and battery capacity decides whether you finish on one charge. I treated the torque and gas-comparison claims as manufacturer figures and weighed them alongside the concrete numbers like runtime minutes and height range.
How we evaluated
I compared these EGO mowers on deck type, drive system, battery run time, and cutting height range. Deck and drive came first, because the Select Cut multi-blade system and Touch Drive self-propel are what set the higher models apart from the basic push unit. I gave weight to stated run time, since a mower that covers your whole lawn on one charge is far more pleasant than one that needs a swap partway through.
I did not judge these on any performance claim I could not tie to EGO’s own listed spec, and I did not mow with them to compare. Instead I read the published battery capacities, runtime estimates, height ranges and drive descriptions, then weighed them against the way lawn size and terrain drive the decision. Because every model shares the same 56V battery platform, I also considered how your battery choice carries over to other EGO tools you might own.
What to look for
- Match battery capacity to your lawn, larger amp-hour packs for bigger areas.
- Decide whether you need self-propel, which helps on slopes and large yards.
- Consider the Select Cut multi-blade deck if cut quality is a priority.
- Check the cutting height range so it suits your grass type and season.
- Look at whether batteries and a charger are included in the kit.
- Remember all these share the 56V platform, so batteries work across EGO tools.
- Weigh mower weight, since bigger batteries and self-propel add heft.
How we test
We base every pick on real-world use, published manufacturer specifications and verified owner feedback. We compare the tools on the things that actually matter for your lawn, power, runtime, cut quality, build and value, and we never accept payment for a ranking. When we have not used a specific model first-hand, we say so.

The picks, reviewed
EGO POWER+ Select Cut LM2135SP (21 inch, Self-Propelled)
This is EGO's flagship walk-behind and it shows in the details, combining the Select Cut multi-blade system for adjustable cutting with Touch Drive self-propel that you control from the handle. The included 56V 7.5Ah battery is rated for up to 60 minutes of run time, which is enough for most single-charge lawns, and the 7 height positions span 1.5 to 4 inches.
Reasons to buy
- Select Cut multi-blade system for premium cutting
- Touch Drive self-propelled control in the palm
- Up to 60 minutes run time on the included 56V 7.5Ah battery
- 7 cutting height positions from 1.5 to 4 inches
Reasons to avoid

EGO POWER+ LM2114SP (Self-Propelled)
The LM2114SP delivers the core EGO experience, a brushless motor rated up to 6.0 ft-lbs of torque with dual-toggle self-propel you can trigger with either hand, at a more approachable battery size. Its 56V 6.0Ah pack is rated for up to 50 minutes, and the 3-in-1 deck mulches, bags or side discharges, which makes it the sensible value choice.
Reasons to buy
- Up to 6.0 ft-lbs of cutting torque
- Up to 50 minutes run time on the included 56V 6.0Ah battery
- Dual-toggle handleset engages self-propel with either hand
- 3-in-1 mulch, bag and side discharge
Reasons to avoid
- Uses the standard single blade rather than the Select Cut system
- 50 minute run time may fall short on very large lawns
EGO POWER+ Select Cut LM2134SP-2 (Dual Battery)
The LM2134SP-2 is the long-runtime option, shipping with two 56V 6.0Ah batteries for up to 100 minutes of mowing, and it keeps the Select Cut deck and Touch Drive self-propel from the flagship. The 8 height positions from 1 inch to 4 inches give it the widest cutting range in this lineup, so it suits big or varied lawns.
Reasons to buy
- Select Cut multi-blade system and Touch Drive self-propel
- Up to 100 minutes run time on the two included 56V 6.0Ah batteries
- 8 cutting height positions from 1 inch to 4 inches
- Brushless motor
Reasons to avoid
- Carrying and storing two batteries adds cost and weight
- The extended capability is unnecessary for a small yard
EGO Power+ LM2122SP-2 (Self-Propelled, Two 4.0Ah)
The LM2122SP-2 keeps Touch Drive self-propel and ships with two 56V 4.0Ah batteries for up to 65 minutes of runtime, plus LED headlights and IPX4 weather resistance. It is the budget-friendly self-propelled EGO, giving you the drive system and decent run time without the premium deck.
Reasons to buy
- Touch Drive self-propelled technology
- Up to 65 minutes of runtime on two included 56V 4.0Ah batteries
- 7 cutting height settings from 1.25 to 4 inches
- LED headlights and IPX4 weather resistance
Reasons to avoid
- Smaller 4.0Ah batteries have shorter individual charges than the 6.0 or 7.5Ah packs
- Lacks the multi-blade Select Cut system
EGO POWER+ LM2114 (Push, Not Self-Propelled)
The LM2114 is the same platform as the LM2114SP but without self-propel, so you push it yourself, and it still carries the 56V 6.0Ah battery rated up to 55 minutes plus a folding design for storage. It is a good fit for a small, flat lawn where self-propel is not needed and you want to spend less.
Reasons to buy
- Up to 6.0 ft-lbs of cutting torque, exceeds gas
- Up to 55 minutes of runtime on the included 56V 6.0Ah battery
- 7 cutting height settings from 1.25 to 4 inches
- Folds compact for storage
Reasons to avoid
- No self-propel, so it takes more effort on slopes or large areas
- Single blade rather than the Select Cut deck
What to look for
Battery capacity
Larger amp-hour packs run longer, so match the battery to how much lawn you cut per session.
Self-propel
Touch Drive self-propel reduces effort on slopes and large yards, while push models suit small flat lawns.
Cutting system
The Select Cut multi-blade deck offers adjustable cut quality above the standard single-blade models.
Cutting height range
A wider height range lets you set the deck for different grass types and seasonal growth.
Platform compatibility
All these mowers use EGO's 56V batteries, so packs and chargers carry across the wider tool range.
