EGO Power+ has become a recognized name in cordless garden machinery across the UK. The brand built its reputation on a 56V lithium-ion battery platform that matches petrol performance for everyday garden tasks. This guide reviews the top-rated EGO tools across categories including mowers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, strimmers, blowers, multi-tools, and pressure washers.
Why EGO Stands Out
- Unified Battery System: The 56V battery works across the entire range, from leaf blowers to ride-on mowers
- Battery Design: Weatherproof arc-shaped cells maintain cooler temperatures during extended use
- Warranty Coverage: Up to five years when registered within 30 days
The trade-off involves premium pricing comparable to Makita LXT or Stihl AP, positioned above mid-range alternatives like Bosch or Greenworks. For gardens between 200-500 square metres with hedging and trees, the investment typically pays back within a couple of seasons.

Our Top Picks
1. EGO LM1903E-SP – Best EGO Lawnmower Overall
Self-propelled and sized for the average UK back garden, the LM1903E-SP gives petrol-class cutting without the fuss.
Key specs: – 47cm cutting deck – Self-propelled drive, brushless motor – Supplied as a kit with battery and rapid charger – Adjustable handle height
Pros: – Self-propelled drive takes the effort out of mowing – Manoeuvrable enough to get close to trees and borders – Runs on the shared 56V ARC Lithium battery platform
Cons: – Premium price compared with mid-range cordless mowers – Smaller deck than the 52cm LM2135E-SP, so more passes on big lawns
Best for: Medium-sized gardens where you want self-propelled cordless power.
2. EGO LM1701E – Best for Smaller and Medium Lawns
Key specs: – 42cm cutting deck – Push mower (non-self-propelled) – Brushless motor – Mulching, rear discharge and grass box options – Designed for gardens of roughly 300 square metres
Pros: – Light and easy to handle – Plenty of power for the money – Compatible with every EGO 56V battery
Cons: – Not self-propelled – Narrow deck slows down larger lawns
Best for: Smaller suburban gardens and anyone upgrading from a corded or budget cordless mower.
3. EGO HT2410E – Best EGO Hedge Trimmer
Key specs: – 61cm dual-action blade – 28mm tooth gap – Bare tool (battery and charger sold separately) – Well-balanced design for overhead work
Pros: – Long blade covers hedges quickly – Good balance and low vibration – Runs comfortably on a 2.5Ah battery, longer with 5.0Ah
Cons: – Battery and charger not included in the bare tool version – Heavier than shorter-blade trimmers over long sessions
Best for: Established beech, privet and laurel hedges and regular garden trimming sessions. For hedges over 2.5 metres, consider EGO’s pole hedge trimmer attachments.
4. EGO CS1800E – Best EGO Chainsaw for Homeowners
The CS1800E steps up to a 45cm bar, part of EGO’s current UK chainsaw line-up alongside the 40cm CS1610E.
Key specs: – 45cm bar length – 20m/s chain speed – Tool-free chain tensioning – Auto-oiler with oil inspection window – Brushless motor, chain brake and kickback protection – 5.0Ah battery pairing recommended
Pros: – Genuine petrol-replacement performance for domestic work – Easy tensioning and instant start – Much quieter than petrol saws
Cons: – Battery and charger are extra unless bought as a kit – Not a professional felling saw (see the Pro X range for that)
Best for: Firewood processing, storm cleanup and pruning larger branches.
5. EGO ST1610E-T – Best EGO Strimmer
Key specs: – 40cm cutting width – Powerload automatic line loading and Line IQ line tracking – Variable speed, telescopic shaft – 56V battery compatible (tool only)
Pros: – Quick, mess-free line reloading – Telescopic shaft suits different heights – Strong performance on rough growth
Cons: – Battery and charger not included – Costs more than basic bump-feed strimmers
Best for: Brambles, nettles and rough grass edges.
6. EGO LB5300E – Best EGO Leaf Blower
Key specs: – 900m³/h airflow – Variable speed with turbo boost – Brushless motor
Pros: – Strong airflow for autumn leaf cleanup – Adjustable power for gentle or forceful blowing – Quieter than petrol blowers
Cons: – Still loud by cordless standards – Battery and charger sold separately on some versions
Best for: Autumn leaf cleanup and tidying paths and patios.
7. EGO MHCC1002E – Best EGO Multi-Tool
Key specs: – Single power head system with attachments (kit includes pole hedge trimmer and chainsaw-type attachments as listed on the kit) – Wider EGO attachment range includes line trimmer, brush cutter, pole saw, edger and cultivator – Tool-free coupling for quick attachment changes
Pros: – One motor covers many jobs – Compact storage – Reaches high hedges and branches
Cons: – Attachments cost extra – Less powerful than dedicated tools for heavy work
Best for: Homeowners wanting compact cordless storage and occasional jobs such as high pruning.
8. EGO Cordless Pressure Washer – Best EGO Pressure Washer
Key specs: – Runs on two 56V batteries – Suitable for patios, decking and vehicles – Cordless operation with no power lead
Pros: – No trailing lead – Shares batteries with the rest of your EGO tools
Cons: – Drains batteries quickly at full power – Check current UK model and stock with a retailer
Best for: Cleaning jobs where freedom of movement matters more than maximum pressure.
Battery Selection Guide
Common pack sizes: 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, 7.5Ah, 10.0Ah, plus professional backpack options.
- Small to medium gardens with 2-3 tools: Single 5.0Ah pack with standard charger
- Larger gardens or mower-heavy use:5Ah pack with rapid charger
- Continuous work: Two 5.0Ah or larger packs to keep working while one charges
A rapid charger cuts charge times by roughly 50% versus a standard charger.
Who EGO Suits – And Who Should Look Elsewhere
EGO is right for: – Users seeking a single cordless platform replacing petrol performance – Those prioritizing unified battery compatibility across multiple tools – Customers valuing extended warranty and dealer support
Consider alternatives if: – You have only a small courtyard garden (a corded tool or budget brand suffices) – You’re a professional landscaper (compare Stihl AP and Husqvarna professional platforms alongside EGO Pro X)
Recommended Starter Combination
For a typical UK back garden: LM1903E-SP mower, HT2410E hedge trimmer, ST1610E-T strimmer, plus 5.0Ah and 7.5Ah batteries on a rapid charger. This covers weekly maintenance and creates a foundation for adding a multi-tool, chainsaw or pressure washer later.
Final Verdict
EGO Power+ has built one of the most coherent and capable cordless garden ranges available in the UK. The 56V ARC battery system enables tool flexibility without duplicating power supplies. With appropriate care, a complete kit should provide functional service for over a decade.
