EGO built its reputation on cordless outdoor power equipment that runs on one shared 56V battery system, and its 21-inch walk-behind mowers are the models most homeowners start with. A 56V battery is simply the voltage of the pack; higher voltage generally means a tool can deliver more power. Every mower in this guide uses EGO’s 56V ARC Lithium batteries and a brushless motor, and every listing claims cutting torque that exceeds gas mowers, so the real question is which features you want on top of that shared base.
The six picks split into two push mowers (LM2114 and LM2112) that you move with your own effort, and four self-propelled mowers (LM2134SP, LM2114SP, LM2135SP and LM2125SP) that drive their own wheels, with differences in torque, blade system, battery size and runtime deciding the rest.

Mower Terms Explained Simply
A push mower has a motor that spins the blade, but you supply the forward motion. A self-propelled mower also powers the wheels, so it pulls itself along while you steer, which makes a big difference on slopes and larger lawns. Torque, measured here in foot-pounds (ft-lbs), describes the twisting force the motor puts on the blade; more torque helps the blade keep spinning through thick or wet grass.
Amp-hours (Ah) describe how much energy a battery stores, so a 7.5Ah pack runs longer than a 4.0Ah pack in the same tool. Mulching chops clippings finely and drops them back on the lawn, bagging collects them, and side discharge throws them out to the side. EGO’s Select Cut system uses swappable lower blades so you can pick the blade for the job.
EGO Power+ LM2134SP-2 for Large Lawns
The EGO Power+ 21″ Cordless Electric Lawn Mower LM2134SP-2 is an 800 Series self-propelled mower and the long-runtime option in this group. It comes with two 56V 6.0Ah batteries and the listing says it runs for up to 100 minutes on a single charge of both. It delivers up to 7.0 ft-lbs of cutting torque from a brushless motor.
Touch Drive self-propel means you press the handle with your palm to engage the drive and roll a dial with your fingertip to set speed, anywhere from 0.9 to 3.1 miles per hour. Select Cut comes with mulching, high-lift bagging and extended runtime lower blades plus an upper blade. It has eight cutting heights from 1 to 4 inches, LED headlights, and a two-bushel grass bag is mentioned in the description. The listed item weight is 96 pounds, which is much higher than the LM2135SP’s 55.3 pounds for a similar mower, so it may include packaging and the second battery; the listing does not explain.
This is the pick for large lawns where running out of battery halfway is the biggest worry. If your lawn is smaller, the LM2135SP offers the same 800 Series features with one bigger battery.
EGO POWER+ LM2114SP for Everyday Self-Propelled Mowing
The EGO POWER+ 21″ Cordless Electric Lawn Mower Kit LM2114SP is a simpler self-propelled model. It delivers up to 6.0 ft-lbs of torque and up to 50 minutes of runtime on the included 56V 6.0Ah ARC Lithium battery. Instead of Touch Drive, it uses a dual-toggle handleset: levers you can squeeze with either hand to engage the self-propel system, with a speed dial at your fingertips.
It has seven cutting heights from 1.25 to 4 inches, a 3-in-1 design for mulching, bagging and side discharge, push-button start and a 21-inch deck. The listed weight is 50.9 pounds. The listing does not mention LED headlights or a Select Cut blade system.
This suits a mid-size yard where you want help with the pushing but do not need the premium extras. The LM2125SP adds Touch Drive and a larger 7.5Ah battery if you want a step up.
EGO POWER+ LM2114 Push Mower for Flat Yards
The EGO POWER+ 21″ Cordless Electric Lawn Mower LM2114 is a 600 Series push mower with battery and charger. It delivers up to 6.0 ft-lbs of torque and runs up to 55 minutes on the included 56V 6.0Ah battery, which charges in 80 minutes with the included CH3200 charger.
It has seven cutting heights from 1.25 to 4 inches, LED headlights and a choice of mulching, side discharge or bagging, with a two-bushel bag included. EGO says it works with all 56V ARC Lithium batteries and the included battery works with all EGO power tools. This is also the only listing here that spells out the warranty: 5 years on the tool and 3 years on the battery. The listed weight is 82 pounds, which seems high for a push mower next to the self-propelled LM2114SP at 50.9 pounds, so it may reflect shipping weight.
This fits flat, modest lawns and buyers who do not mind pushing. For more on push options, see our EGO cordless push lawn mower guide. If your yard has hills, any of the self-propelled models will be easier.
EGO POWER+ LM2135SP Select Cut for Hilly Yards
The EGO POWER+ 21″ Cordless Electric Lawn Mower Kit LM2135SP is the single-battery version of the 800 Series. It delivers up to 7.0 ft-lbs of torque and up to 60 minutes of runtime on the included 56V 7.5Ah battery, which charges in 60 minutes with the included CH5500 Rapid Charger.
Like the LM2134SP-2, it has Touch Drive self-propel with a 0.9 to 3.1 mph speed range, the Select Cut system with mulching, high-lift bagging and extended runtime lower blades plus an upper blade, and eight cutting heights from 1 to 4 inches. The listing names a 5-year limited warranty and a weight of 55.3 pounds. The feature list does not mention LED headlights, so we would not assume them.
This is a sweet spot for sloped yards: strong torque, adjustable pace and the more versatile blade system. Choose the LM2134SP-2 instead if you need more than an hour of mowing per session.
EGO Power+ LM2125SP Touch Drive for Comfortable Mowing
The EGO Power+ Electric Lawn Mower LM2125SP pairs Touch Drive self-propel with the 6.0 ft-lbs torque level. It includes a 56V 7.5Ah battery and rapid charger and runs up to 60 minutes per charge, and it works with all EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries.
You get seven cutting heights from 1.25 to 4 inches adjusted with one hand, mulching, side discharge or bagging with an included two-bushel bag, push-button start, LED headlights and IPX4 weather resistance, which means it is protected against splashing water. The handle height adjusts and the mower folds for compact storage. The listed weight is 84.9 pounds.
This suits someone who wants the palm-pressure Touch Drive without paying for Select Cut blades. Readers who want a wider deck can look at our EGO 22 inch lawn mower guide.
EGO Power+ LM2112 Push Mower for Small Lawns
The EGO Power+ Electric Lawn Mower LM2112 is the entry-level push model. It delivers up to 6.0 ft-lbs of torque and up to 35 minutes of runtime on the included 56V 4.0Ah ARC Lithium battery, with charger included.
It has a 21-inch deck, seven cutting heights from 1.25 to 4 inches, a 3-in-1 design for mulching, bagging and side discharge, push-button start and LED headlights. One line of the listing calls it a 22-inch mower, but the title, cutting width and description all say 21 inches, so we go with 21. The listing does not give a weight.
This is a good first mower for a small yard or townhouse lawn, and a practical gift for a first-time homeowner. If your lawn takes longer than about half an hour to mow, the LM2114 push mower’s bigger battery is a better fit. Our EGO 21 inch lawn mower overview covers more models in this size.
How to Choose the Right EGO Lawn Mower
- Push or self-propelled: flat, small lawns are fine with the LM2112 or LM2114. Slopes and larger yards are much easier with any self-propelled model.
- Runtime: match battery to yard size. The LM2112 lists up to 35 minutes, the LM2114SP 50, the LM2114 55, the LM2135SP and LM2125SP 60, and the LM2134SP-2 up to 100 with two batteries.
- Torque: the 800 Series models (LM2134SP-2 and LM2135SP) list 7.0 ft-lbs; the rest list 6.0 ft-lbs.
- Blade options: only the 800 Series models include Select Cut with three lower blades. The others mulch, bag and side discharge with a standard blade setup.
- Self-propel control: Touch Drive (LM2134SP-2, LM2135SP, LM2125SP) uses palm pressure; the LM2114SP uses dual toggle levers.
