Gold Box: Buy the best/last electric lawn mower/battery you’ll ever need today: $359 shipped ($141 off)

EGo-20-inch-56V

Today’s Amazon Gold Box is the Lawnmower you’ve always wanted: the EGO Power+ 20-Inch 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Lawn Mower – 4.0Ah Battery and Charger Kit. It’s electric but is super-powerful 58V, gets impeccable reviews and is on sale for $358.99 shipped at Amazon today, the lowest price we’ve ever seen it.

Some nice things: It charges in a half hour which is a shorter time than it runs (45 mins) meaning if you grab 2 batteries (normally $200!), you can mow lawns continuously until the end of time. It has headlights for mowing in the dark (oh lawd). It also folds up easily to the size of a suitcase.

Need some more reasons why it is time to move your lawn equipment to Electric? Here you go:

  1.  Quieter – Electric motors are much quieter than Gas equivalent. Besides the whirl of wind and the sound of blades hitting grass, you barely hear anything. Compare to the annoying sound of a petrol engine. Makes listening to podcasts or music or an ebook while doing yardwork that much more enjoyable.
  2. Less vibration. When I was a kid mowing lawns for money, my hands used to go numb or even hurt after a few hours of yardwork due to the vibration of the internal combustion engine. Comparatively you can go forever pushing an electric lawnmower which is like pushing a box fan around the yard.
  3. Easy – Electric equipment is comparatively maintenance free because you don’t have to go to the gas station to get gas and oil, mix it then keep a container around. You simply pull a battery off the charger and pop it into the equipment you want to use.
  4. Storage – Not only are electric tools smaller but you can put them in more places. Would you put a gas chainsaw in your home? An electric chainsaw can be stored inside without threat of fumes, leaks or stink.
  5. Starting – Electric is push button and go. While with gas, you often have to pull a cord and hope you didn’t flood or choke it.
  6. Gas is flammable and poison – you have to store it in a barn or your garage where it stinks. It is poison and if it spills it stains and can kill plants animals and even humans. Electric, you could put next to your kids’ bed if you wanted to.
  7. Electric tools are simpler and lighter. Pushing around a light lawnmower or holding a chainsaw is no contest compared to gas.
  8. Exhaust isn’t just bad for the environment, it is bad for the operator. You know the smell that you have coming in after yard work? Well, you still stink with electric but it isn’t a burnt fossil fuel smell at least.
  9. Longevity – Electric vehicles will last longer and because of everything above, will have a higher resale value.
  10. Quickcharge means unlimited supply. Greenworks tools batteries charge in a half hour (2Ah) to an hour (4Ah) so you can pretty much charge, switch and go all day if you have 2 or more batteries.
  11. Yeah that environment thing. Your neighbors don’t just hate your gas lawn work because you are noisy and stinky, it is also because you are polluting the neighborhood. Get off that gas already and go electric!
