Right now at Amazon you can get the Ego Power Plus 21-inch battery-powered mower with a rapid charger and an extra battery for just $650 -- a massive $430 in savings.
I love mowing the lawn -- for me, it's a meditative practice that yields deeply satisfying results. Push the lawn mower over the grass, see the immediate fruits of my labor. But what ruins that calming vibe is the sound of the motor and the smell of gasoline. Even with noise-canceling headphones, it's too much for me. Two years ago, I swapped my old two-stroke motor lawnmower for a battery-powered electric mower, and I've never looked back.
One of the few downsides of battery-powered mowers is running out of battery early and leaving that last little corner unmowed. This Ego Power Plus bundle solves that, as it not only comes with a rapid charger, but also a second battery to swap out when you need it. This bundle usually comes with a steep price tag: $1,080 on Amazon, to be exact. But this $430 discount means you can get it all for just $650.
To be more exact, you get the Ego Power Plus LM2206SP cordless lawn mower and one 7.5AH ARC lithium battery, as well as a second 5.0 Ah ARC lithium battery. The 7.5 ARC battery gives you about one hour of run time and recharges to full capacity in about an hour with the included 550-watt charger. Additionally, the mower is outfitted well with several blades: a mulching blade, a high-lift bagging blade, an extended-runtime blade and an upper blade. Plus, you get a grass bag and frame, side discharge chute and a mulching plug.
The self-propelling mower means it's less stress when you're out there pushing it around. The 21-inch wide blade makes for fewer passes to get your entire lawn -- but if you prefer something wider, the Ego Power Plus 22-inch model is also bundled for $1,100, down from a $1,638 price tag.

Why this deal matters
As things are greening up for the spring, the outdoor tasks start to pile up. Take some of the strain out of lawn care with an electric mower, like I did. This one is a nice upgrade from the model I purchased and with over $400 in savings, it's well worth it. The second battery is a huge bonus. If you need a new mower, this is a great deal.
