Since we started stocking the EGO gardening equipment range in our Co Wexford showroom, one of the most popular products has been their battery-powered lawnmowers. But why are they proving so popular, so quickly? Well, EGO mowers have quite a few benefits going for them compared to petrol models. We’ll discuss some of them in this article.
Battery Power Makes For an Environmentally Friendly Lawnmower
Battery lawnmowers are, of course, emission-free, and can serve as another step towards reducing your carbon footprint. It also makes them healthier to work with, with no need to worry about breathing in noxious fumes as you mow your lawn. This makes them cleaner to operate too, for you need not worry about spilled fuel getting on your hands or clothes and the lingering smell of petrol afterwards.
Battery Lawnmowers are Lighter and Easier to Move Around
With no heavy engine and fuel tank to carry around, battery lawnmowers tend to be lighter than their petrol-powered cousins. Not only does make them less laborious to move up and down the lawn (well worth bearing in mind if your garden is on a slope), it also makes them easier to maneuver and turn when it comes to corners.
Battery Lawnmowers Vibrate Less Than Petrol Models
In addition to being easier to maneuver, another way in which EGO battery lawnmowers make cutting the lawn more comfortable is their lack of vibration compared to petrol machines. Your hands and arms will thank you for it.
Battery Lawnmowers Take Up Less Storage Space
With petrol lawnmowers, you not only need to have secure storage space for the mower itself but also its fuel. When you choose to go with an electric lawnmower, you only require storage space for the mower itself and need not worry about fuel being stored in your shed (and the risks that go with it).
EGO Battery Lawnmowers Need Less Servicing
Compared to petrol lawnmowers, battery models have a relatively simple power setup. This means service and maintenance on battery models is less intensive, with no filters or plugs to be changed. This means the cost of ownership for battery lawnmowers can be significantly less than that of petrol models. You’d be amazed how maintenance costs can add up, so be sure to bear this in mind when choosing your next lawnmower.
Battery Lawnmowers Are Quieter
We’ve all been woken up on a Sunday morning by that noisy lawnmower your neighbour insists on starting at 8 am (or, worse, are you that neighbour?). Well, convince your neighbour to get a battery-powered lawnmower and you can enjoy those lie-ins. Just like cars, electric models tend to be much quieter than their fuel-drinking counterparts.
EGO Battery Lawnmowers Are Available in Both Push and Self-Propelled Models
Perhaps another reason why the EGO range of battery lawnmowers is proving particularly comes down to the options available. While many chose the traditional ‘push’ model, EGO also produces self-propelled versions, which make maintaining a garden much easier for the less agile or even those who simply don’t fancy spending an afternoon pushing a machine around. Whatever your preference, EGO has a battery lawnmower to suit your needs.
In addition to lawnmowers, EGO offers a range of other powered gardening equipment; as we discussed last week, their line trimmers are another popular option, and the perfect accompaniment to your battery mower, reaching tricky grass in restricted areas. You can view our EGO line in our showroom at Enniscorthy, Co Wexford. For more information give the Power Plant Hire team a call on 053 9235003 or send an email to sales@powerplant.ie.
