EGO Power+ 21" Select Cut XP Review

The EGO Power+ LM2150SP is one of the few cordless mowers that truly feels like a gas mower — without the noise, fumes, or maintenance. With its dual-blade Select Cut system and Touch Drive self-propel, it’s built for homeowners who want professional results in a battery-powered frame.

Key Specs & Features

Voltage: 56V ARC Lithium battery (7.5Ah pack included)
Runtime: Up to 75 minutes per charge
Cutting deck: 21" steel/poly blend
Height adjustment: 7 settings (1.5" – 4")
Weight: ~62 lbs
Drive: Rear-wheel self-propel with Touch Drive control
Extras: Push-button start, LED headlights, folds for compact storage, weather-resistant (IPX4)

Performance & Cut Quality

EGO’s dual-blade Select Cut XP system is the standout here. The lower blade is interchangeable — you can swap for mulching, bagging, or extended runtime — while the upper blade delivers a clean finish across grass types. In testing, the mower produced fine mulch clippings and left a consistent, even cut.

With 8.3 ft-lbs of torque, it rivals many 160cc gas push mowers. The mower handled thick fescue without bogging down, even on damp patches.

Self-Propel & Handling

The Touch Drive self-propel system puts speed control under your palm and fingertips. While intuitive once mastered, some users find it takes a few sessions to get used to. On hills or uneven lawns, the rear-wheel drive provided solid traction.

At 62 lbs, it’s heavier than entry-level electrics but still lighter than most steel-deck gas mowers. The balance and handle ergonomics make maneuvering manageable.

Runtime & Battery

With the 7.5Ah ARC Lithium battery, you get up to 75 minutes of mowing — enough for most 3/4-acre lots. The battery is cross-compatible with EGO’s full 56V lineup, so if you own their blower, trimmer, or snowblower, it fits right in.

Charging takes roughly 60 minutes with EGO’s rapid charger.

Quick Cut Test

Tall Grass (6–7” fescue): Required slower pace but cut clean with minimal clumping.
Mulching Mode: Dual blades left fine clippings that blended into the lawn.
Bagging Test: Bag filled evenly, no clogging even with damp grass.

Pros & Cons at a Glance

Pros: Gas-like torque, long runtime, dual-blade versatility, folding design, quiet operation.
Cons: Pricey for homeowners, self-propel system takes practice.

Final Verdict

The EGO Power+ LM2150SP isn’t the cheapest cordless mower, but it sets the standard for high-performance electric lawn care. If you’ve got a larger yard and want the best mix of runtime, cut quality, and convenience, this mower should be at the top of your list.
