Our verdict
The bottom line
The right EGO for buyers who don't need self-propel. Same cut quality as the LM1900E with simpler mechanics. If your lawn is flat and under 800m², this saves £100 and one wear part (the drive cable).

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£200–340 used. Original EGO 56V battery only — aftermarket packs damage the mower. 5Ah battery healthy runtime is 50–60 minutes; under 30 means dead cells. EGO retain resale value better than any cordless brand — never overpay but expect to recoup.
Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
