Quick verdict
A 21 inch self-propelled mower that ships with two 56V 6.0Ah batteries, so most quarter-acre to half-acre lawns get done on one trip to the garage. Touch Drive takes a little adjustment, but the Select Cut blade system and 100 minute combined runtime make it the most complete EGO kit for the money.
Strengths
- Two 6.0Ah batteries included, up to 100 minutes of combined runtime
- Select Cut lets you swap lower blades for mulching, bagging or runtime
- Variable speed from 0.9 to 3.1 mph suits slow edging and quick open passes
- Eight cutting heights from 1 to 4 inches
- Brushless motor with low vibration and no fuel or oil to manage
Weaknesses
- Touch Drive palm sensors feel unusual for the first few mows
- Runtime drops sharply in tall, wet grass
- Heavier than a basic push mower, so lifting it into a vehicle is a two-person job

What the EGO LM2134SP-2 Is
The EGO Power+ LM2134SP-2 is a 21 inch self-propelled battery mower from EGO’s 800 Series, sold as a kit with two 56V 6.0Ah ARC Lithium batteries and a charger. It sits between the basic LM2114 push models and the premium LM2156SP in EGO’s lineup. The pitch is simple: enough battery in the box to finish a typical suburban lawn without a mid-mow recharge, plus the Select Cut blade system that lets you tune the deck for mulching, bagging or longer runtime.
This review is based on EGO’s published specifications, the owner’s manual and recurring themes in verified owner feedback. It is not a YardToolLab field test.
Cutting Performance
EGO quotes up to 7.0 foot-pounds of cutting torque for this mower, a figure it positions as exceeding comparable gas models. In owner reports, the practical result is that the deck keeps blade speed up through dense spring growth rather than bogging and leaving ragged strips. The brushless motor also ramps power to match load, which is why the mower sounds quieter on thin grass and louder when it hits a thick patch.
Select Cut blades
The LM2134SP-2 ships with an upper blade and a set of interchangeable lower blades: a mulching blade, a high-lift bagging blade and an extended runtime blade. Owners who mulch most of the season tend to leave the mulching blade on and report finer clippings than a single-blade deck produces. The runtime blade is the one to fit when the grass is short and you want every possible minute from the batteries.
Height adjustment
A single lever moves the deck through eight positions between 1 and 4 inches. That range covers close-cut Bermuda in the South and taller cool-season fescue in the North, which is one reason this model shows up in both markets.
Runtime and Batteries
This is the kit’s main advantage. EGO rates the two 6.0Ah batteries at up to 100 minutes of combined runtime, which comfortably covers a quarter acre and often stretches to a half acre of well-kept lawn. Two caveats come up repeatedly in owner feedback. First, tall or wet grass can cut runtime by a third or more. Second, the mower holds one battery at a time, so you swap packs mid-mow rather than drawing from both at once.
The batteries are the same 56V platform used across EGO’s trimmers, blowers and chainsaws, so buying this kit effectively seeds a whole cordless yard setup.
Self-Propel and Handling
EGO’s Touch Drive replaces the usual bail lever with two palm sensors. Rest your palms on the pads and the mower moves; lift them and it stops. A dial sets speed anywhere from 0.9 to 3.1 miles per hour. Some owners love the lack of a lever to squeeze; others need a few mows before the system feels natural, and a minority never warm to it. Rear-wheel drive gives good traction on gentle slopes.
The handle folds and the mower stands upright for storage, a feature that matters in a crowded garage. Weight is the trade-off: this is a substantial machine and lifting it into a truck bed is easier with a second person.
Reliability and Support
EGO backs its mowers with a five-year limited warranty on the tool and three years on batteries when registered. Recurring complaints are mostly about plastic chute doors and the occasional Touch Drive pad that becomes less sensitive over several seasons. Motor failures are uncommon in the feedback we reviewed.
Who Should Buy It
- Quarter-acre to half-acre lawns with no existing battery platform. The two included packs remove the biggest hidden cost of going cordless.
- Owners who mulch and want a dedicated mulching blade rather than a compromise all-purpose blade.
- Anyone tired of gas maintenance who still needs a self-propelled 21 inch deck.
Skip it if your lawn is under 5,000 square feet, where a lighter push model costs much less, or if you regularly mow a half acre of thick, damp grass, where a dual-port mower or a gas unit is less fiddly.
Alternatives to Consider
EGO’s own LM2156SP adds a second battery port and longer runtime for a higher price, and is the better choice above half an acre. The Greenworks 80V 21 inch kit undercuts this EGO on price with comparable cutting power and a longer battery warranty. Ryobi 40V HP owners can get similar results from Ryobi’s self-propelled 21 inch model while reusing their existing packs.
Verdict
The LM2134SP-2 is the EGO kit most people should actually buy. The two 6.0Ah batteries, Select Cut blade options and broad height range cover the realistic needs of an average lawn, and the brushless motor keeps up with dense growth. Touch Drive is the one feature to try in a store if you can, because reactions to it are split. Everything else is a straightforward recommendation.

EGO Power+ LM2134SP-2 FAQs
Yes. The "-2" in the model name indicates the kit version with two 56V 6.0Ah batteries and a charger. The bare mower is sold separately under the LM2134SP name.
EGO rates the kit at up to 100 minutes with both batteries in normal grass. Expect noticeably less in thick or damp growth, where the motor draws more current.
Instead of a bail lever, two pressure pads on the handle engage the self-propel system when you rest your palms on them. Speed is set with a dial. Most owners adapt within a couple of mows.
Yes. The mower bags, mulches and side discharges, and the Select Cut system adds interchangeable lower blades tuned for each job.
