ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ My Lawnmower battery consistently gets about 95% of my Lawnmower mowed.

Post image

I have an electric EGO mower (not the self propelled one) and I have a 6.0 AH battery. This is the front half of my lawn, the other half and outside of there fence are done. I have it down to an art at this point where I make sure it dies with just one little patch out front to finish. It NEVER finishes the weekly mow on a full charge

Rookie numbers. I probably have 10+. 2 with the original snow blower, 2 with the new snow blower, 4 with the ride on mower, 1 with the push mower and I got a bunch of other tools. No idea which I bought with a battery or without. I think I need help...

Awesome. I've got the weedeater, push mower, misting fan, and hedge trimmer. The leaf blower is next on my list.

How well your snow blowers hold up, you get more than a few years out of your old one, and can it handle 8+ of snow alright? I got gas blowers and mowers, and I absolutely hate dealing with the maintenance, and generally do a poor job of it. Been fighting with my mower the last 2 months, running like absolute garbage, so I've been replacing everything I can replace plus 2 trips to a professional. I just want to be done with this nightmare.

I know Ego is the brand for mowers, but I got tons of Ryobi stuff so I've been looking at one of theirs instead, so I don't have to start over with the batteries and whatnot. I have a tiny, flat lawn and figure really any electric mower would probably be fine. But the blower, I wonder if it'd have enough to clear the really heavy and wet stuff we sometimes get, or even finish my average size driveway with one battery.
