The EGO LM1701E-SP Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower is powered by a 56 volt 2.5 Ah battery, brushless motor and is ideal for medium lawns up to 400m². The mower has a large 42cm cutting width and is supplied with a very respectable 55 litre grass collection bag.
After so many requests from you, I finally have my hands on an EGO cordless mower. Can they really be a genuine replacement for a petrol mower? In this review of the EGO LM1701E-SP we will take a look at its features and function and see if this high end mower lives up to expectations, and is the right cordless mower for you and your lawn.
Main Features:
• For Lawns of up to 400m²
• Blade Length: 42cm (16.5-inch)
• Self Propelled (on LM1701E-SP model)
• Weight: 25 Kg
• Number of Cutting Heights: 7 (from 25mm to 80mm)
• Grass Box Capacity: 55 L
• Motor: 3000 rpm Brushless-Motor
• Battery: 2.5Ah 56-Volt Lithium-Ion 140Wh
• Deck Noise: 91.3 Decibels (77.8 dB at the operator level)
• Handle: Telescopic with Foam Grip
This mower is ideal for those that:
• People with gardens up to 400 m2 in size.
• People looking for a self propelled mower (on LM1701E-SP model)
• Those looking for a premium powerful battery mower with great features.
• People looking for a genuine alternative to a petrol powered mower.
• Those looking to adjust the mower’s handles to reduce fatigue.
• Those that would like the option to mulch the grass cuttings.
• Those that like the option of rear discharge.
• Storage is limited as handles and grass box fold flat.
• People looking for a longer warranty period (5 years domestic on mower - 3 years on battery)
It is arguable that a lithium-ion powered lawn mower is better for the environment than a petrol mower. These batteries can take a lot of punishment and the newer versions, as with this one, charge faster and last longer.
EGO has even gone as far as styling the EGO LM1701E-SP as if it were a petrol mower - to appease those looking for a classic look. The main issue with a battery is that a backup costs money. You can mitigate this cost by buying other tools from the manufacturer that use the same battery pack (batteries are interchangeable).
The EGO LM1701E is one of the best battery power mowers on offer, and if you are looking for a neat and tidy package, then this may be it. EGO also makes a more advanced model that self-propels called the LM1701E-SP.

![New EGO 56V Homeowner Mowers - 42cm & 47cm Self-propelled [2020 review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vYposI3_3rI/mqdefault.jpg)
Watching your review made my decision easier now I'm going to get the ego thank you for the review 👏🏾👌🏾
Great to hear. Thanks
Superb review that deserves many, many more likes. Thank you very much. I was looking at the current version of this mower yesterday and on the face of it, it knocks the spots off anything even quite a bit higher in price. As a result of your video, I'm just going to place an order together with the roller kit and a bare strimmer. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your message and positive feedback. Glad my video helped you to make a decision.
Helpful review, easy for me to understand and follow.
Hi Linda
Thanks so much.
Kind regards
Mark
Fantastic review, I am off to buy one, many thanks.
Glad I could help, enjoy your new mower.
Thanks for this informative review. It really has made me realise that these Ego mowers are no way worth their ridiculous price tag. With a mere run time of 20 minutes, 40 minutes or 60 minutes, depending on the battery size (and your bank balance), I would be lucky to cover a quarter of my lawn. I have a Bosch Rotak (with the same specs as the Ego 1903) and two 5ah batteries which can easily cover my lawn with both batteries. I've had the mower for over 8 years and it's never let me down. It cost me £320 including both batteries and rapid charger. The Ego range are over double and I have seen genuine online reviews where they are barely lasting a year or two and their customer support is apparently awful. I think ill stick to my Bosch or even upgrade
Hi - thanks for sharing you views of this mower and your experience of the Bosch. Thanks Mark
I was visiting a big city in the north of the country in Scotland and I noticed the lo council was using Ego to cut grass in the city centre
@@EasyLawnMowing And thank you for taking the time to make this video
A very good and thorough test especially with the scrubland test as not all lawns are pristine and are scrubland like or have very long grass. Glad you did this as most other reviewers don't!!
Been looking at this bramd for a week or so now trying to see as many good in depth reviews as possible. Got shown the more expensive and larger lodel with the 5ah battery but was over £500 😥
So this seems to be the best choice and value so far with very good build quality.
Excellent and thorough review. Just made my decesion a whole lot easier 👍👍🤗
Thanks for your positive feedback, glad my video helped you to make an informed decision. Thanks again Mark
How many times did you. Have to recharge the battery during these demos is the important question
Thank you for your time.
My pleasure!
Great review! Heaps of detail, I have only recently come across EGO and have been really impressed. I looked at one of the 42cm EGO mower's this morning, it was really quiet. Have been considering going cheap with an Ozito that has some great reviews versus the EGO, I think your review has tipped the scales in favour of the EGO. I can get the 56v 42 cm with a 5 Ah battery which can then be shared with the line trimmer. Thanks again for taking the time to provide really useful information for others to use!
Thank you Jason for your positive feedback, it is much appreciated, glad the video helped you to make an informed decision. You will not be disappointed.
yeah, lights on the lawnmower, in case I want to mow the lawn at night
Great review, Thanks , there is also a 10ah battery available. Nearly as much as the mower though.🤔
Hi Gary, thanks for your comment.
Yes you are right EGO do supply a 10.0Ah battery (BA5600T) that fast charges in 70mins and standard charger 190mins. Yes the price tag is eye watering for sure.
Thanks again
Mark
Excellent review, if they do a 460mm with the 5amp hour battery my super reliable izzy 46 might be going into retirement.
Hi David
Thanks for your comment.
EGO do a 47cm version that comes with a 5Ah battery.
easylawnmowing.co.uk/ego-lm1903e-sp-review/
Thanks again.
Regards
Mark
I bought one today, it's my third cordless mower. Mine came with the 5 Ah battery. Out of the box it carries 5 years warranty for the mower and three years for the battery.
Thanks for sharing this information. Please let us know how you get on with the EGO.
Great review, thanks - Nice dog too!
Do you think the mower would be heavy enough for the rear roller addition to be worthwhile? Cheers.
Hi, this mower with a 2.5Ah battery weights around 28 kg, so would initially give a striped lawn appearance. However, for a roller to actually flatten any raised areas in the lawn and for the stripes to last longer than one or two days, then you would need around 40 kg.
Thanks, yes the dog loves helping me...
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Mark
Very tempted by this - Neighbours all have Petrol mowers but put off by the noise and the annual service cost which is the same as the garage charges for the car!
EGO have produced a white paper showing how much you can save over a 5 year period, it is very impressive.
EasyLawnMowing Thank you for the information and the video. Much appreciated :)
Going to buy the 1702_sp next week can't wait.
Great. Enjoy.
@@EasyLawnMowingjust used the 1702-sp today for the first time excellent mower.
Thanks for this review. Would you buy this or the much less expensive Worx WG743E?
Hi Matt
It really depends on your circumstances, such a lawn size and condition. I have just done a review (link below) of the WG743E and it is indeed a good, solid performing mower that is great value. The Ego is definitely a different beast in terms of build quality and performance. This may mean it is overkill for your particular lawn and the WORX may be a better option.

Many thanks
Mark
Hi - great review - one question on a self propelled - how easy is it to pull it backwards
Hi Ian
As far as I remember there was no problem pulling back as long as you remember to fully release the self propelled drive.
Thanks
Mark
You say the battery runtime is 15 minutes. Did it go over the 15 minutes or did you have to recharge at any time? Great review I think I’m buying this model but the run time concerns me
Hi Barb
Yes runtime is around 15-20 minutes for this battery. Other batteries are available but they are not cheap. The larger 4Ah battery is around £160.
You can see the other batteries available on this link. egopowerplus.co.uk/products/batteries-chargers
Many thanks
Mark
You can use a bigger battery up to 10 amps for a hour or more of run time.
Hi Cat, yes you can use the 10.0Ah battery that will mow up to 1600 metres squared. The cost of the battery at around £400 is somewhat of an investment but you can't beat EGO's battery technology. Mark
I noticed that the much kit comes with its own blade, but does that mean that every time you want to mulch you need to change the blade from the standard cutting one to the mulch one?
Hi James, you would just leave the mulching blade on as this will also help to improve the grass collection efficiency. Some manufacturers will fit a mulching design blade as standard with an optional mulching plug, however with the EGO the mulching kit came some time after the mower was first released.
Hi, thanks for the video! Was just wondering how would you rate this compared to the cobra mx4140v?
Hi I have just taken delivery of the Cobra MX43, which is the replacement for MX41 (been discontinued now). I am hoping to complete this review in the next few weeks, so you can see it in action. Thanks
If you used the self propelled feature less does the battery life last noticeable longer?
Hi James, that is correct, using the self-propelled drive less will prolong the runtime of the battery.
Hi great Video Been thinking of getting one of these Ego LM1903E-SP 47cm. Can you tell me when using the self drive while cutting that when you let go of the self drive and the mower stops travelling forward, can you immediately pull the lawn mower back or do you have to push the mower forward before being able to pull the mower back. How long will the battery last if using the self drive continuously cutting dry grass about 5cm to 2.5cm on the flat. I have to use self drive all the time my lawn is about 160 sqm and need to do shunts backwards and forwards many thanks
Hi Nick, yes you are correct, once I let go of the self drive button and the mower came to a stop, I did have to push it slightly forward before I could pull it back.
This LM1903E-SP mower comes supplied with 5.0Ah battery which will give you around 20 to 25 mins with the self propulsion, so should be more than enough for your sized lawn, combined with the 47cm blade. Hope this helps, Mark
Would this handle thick buffalo grass and steep incline land? I'm using petrol self propelled, not sure if battery one can tackle it
Hi Richard, being located in the UK I do not have any experience with buffalo grass, I believe that this would reduce the runtime quite significantly and would therefore stick with petrol over the longer term.
Can you use it without sp? Does it turn the motor when it’s pushed or does it go smoothly. And how can you change direction from front to backward so fast if you used sp?
Hi, when you disengage the SP drive/brake, the mower is free to push and pull.
I wonder how long the battery last for in reference to how many years before you have to replace them if anyone has any experience in this please comment
It really comes down to the amount of charges and use, and how demanding the lawn is that you are cutting. In general you should be looking at around 5 years.
Sorry appreciate this is an old video now. I’m looking at 42cm EGO push version for £455 vs GTech with a discount code for £315. GTech is lighter and have tried one and it does the job well. Would you say the EGO is worth the extra investment bearing in mind you get the lower spec battery with the standard entry level push version. Any advice would be a great help thank you 👍🏻
The GTech and the EGO mowers are big purchases and you could get something more budget friendly. Out of these 2 mowers, I would definitely purchase the EGO due to the better battery technology and build quality. If you have the budget then the EGO would make a good purchase, however you may want to consider the LawnMaster 41cm with 4 batteries. Take a look at my review and video below -
easylawnmowing.co.uk/lawnmaster-41cm-cordless-lawn-mower-review/
All the best Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing thank you for the reply. That does look like a very capable machine with better runtime, features (rear roller) and similar weight to the GTech for the same price with your 10% off code. The issue with the EGO is I would prefer a model with better battery so we are in to £600 territory which is outside of budget. I will have a serious look at your suggestion thank you along with Cobra and Greenworks too 👍🏻
Have you done any reviews on the powerbase 40v mowers from Homebase?
Hi, no sorry but it looks interesting, will try to get hold of one and test shortly.
@@EasyLawnMowing I would like to see that - I will keep an eye out.
How about in the wet in long grass
Hi Russell. Absolutely fine, just be sure to use a higher height setting. Thanks
Which one is recommended? The 41 cm or 47 cm?
Hi Fabio,
I would recommend the 42cm cutting width , suitable for lawns up to 400m². Link below -
easylawnmowing.co.uk/ego-lm1701e-review/
However, if your lawn is over 500m² (large), then I would recommend the 47cm model. Link below -
easylawnmowing.co.uk/ego-lm1903e-sp-review/
They are both outstanding machines and come with 5 year warranty (3 year on batteries).
Hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.
Mark
Can they make them 30 inch wide cut?
Hi Noel, no, it would appear that the largest deck size EGO do is 52cm (21 inch).
I’ve never seen a ego mower come with such a small battery? That’s very strange.
Hi
Yes this mower does come with the 2.5Ah 56-Volt Lithium-Ion (BA1400T).
Other batteries are available and a list can be seen here - egopowerplus.co.uk/products/batteries-chargers
Thanks
Mark
Use electric lawnmower its better and cheap to buy.
Thanks for your comment.
