EGO Power+ Electric Lawn Mower, Cordless Push, Includes 56V 4.0Ah Battery and Charger - LM2112 Review

Overview

The EGO Power+ LM2112 is a 56V cordless electric push mower that delivers gas-grade cutting performance without the fuel, fumes, or pull-cord frustration. It’s designed for homeowners with small to medium lawns—think a quarter-acre or less—who want a reliable, low-maintenance alternative to gas mowers without sacrificing power or cut quality.

Who Should Buy This

• Suburban homeowners with 1/4-acre lawns – If your yard fits in that sweet spot between a tiny city lot and a sprawling estate, this mower’s 4.0Ah battery will handle the job on a single charge, with a little margin to spare.
• Gas mower refugees – You’re tired of stale fuel, oil changes, and yanking a starter cord 47 times. This mower starts instantly with a button press and needs virtually zero maintenance beyond blade sharpening.
• Quiet-zone neighbors – You live in a neighborhood where early-morning or evening mowing is the norm, and you don’t want to be that person waking everyone up. The LM2112 is whisper-quiet compared to any gas engine.
• Eco-conscious lawn owners – No emissions, no spilled gas, and a lithium-ion battery that lasts for years. If you care about your carbon footprint and your lawn, this is a clean win.

Key Features Breakdown

56V 4.0Ah Battery – This is EGO’s standard high-capacity pack, and it’s the heart of the system. On a typical lawn with mixed grass conditions, expect 35-45 minutes of run time—enough for most 1/4-acre lots. The battery also works with all EGO 56V tools (trimmers, blowers, chainsaws), so you can share power across your outdoor gear.

20-Inch Cutting Deck – A 20-inch deck is a Goldilocks size for push mowers: wide enough to cut efficiently without feeling like you’re wrestling a boat, narrow enough to maneuver around flower beds and fences. It’s made of durable, rust-proof polypropylene, so it won’t dent or corrode.

Brushless Motor – No brushes to wear out, and the motor adjusts torque automatically when you hit thick or damp grass. This is why the mower doesn’t bog down like many cordless models—it just powers through.

Single Lever Height Adjustment – You get 6 cutting height positions (1.5 to 4 inches) controlled by one easy-to-reach lever. No crouching down to fiddle with four separate wheels. It’s quick and intuitive.

Push Button Start – Press the button, pull the bail handle, and go. No primer bulb, no choke, no cord. This is the single biggest quality-of-life improvement over gas mowers.

Foldable Handle – The handle folds down without tools, making storage in a garage corner or shed much easier. It also has a soft-grip handlebar for comfort.

Mulch/Bag/Side Discharge – Comes with a 50-liter bag (grass capacity is decent for residential use), a mulching plug for leaving clippings as fertilizer, and a side discharge chute for heavy growth. Switching between modes is tool-free.

Pros

1. Instant start, no drama – Push a button and you’re mowing. End of story. This alone justifies the price for many buyers.
2. Excellent cut quality – The dual-blade system (two stacked blades) lifts grass aggressively and cuts cleanly, even in slightly damp conditions. No tearing or clumping.
3. Quiet operation – At around 80 decibels, you can mow without earplugs and hold a conversation. Your neighbors will thank you.
4. Long battery life per charge – The 4.0Ah battery is well-matched to the 20-inch deck. You’ll get a full lawn cut on most suburban yards without needing a second battery.
5. Low maintenance – No oil, no gas, no spark plugs, no carburetor cleaning. Just sharpen or replace the blade once a season and keep the battery charged.
6. Solid build quality – EGO is known for durable plastic decks that don’t rust, and the LM2112 feels robust for a cordless mower. It’s not flimsy.

Cons

1. Not a self-propelled mower – This is a push model. If your yard has steep slopes or you have mobility concerns, you’ll want the self-propelled version (LM2135 or similar). Pushing it up a hill takes effort.
2. Battery doesn’t last for large lawns – Over 1/3 acre, you’ll likely run out of charge before finishing. A second battery or a larger-capacity model (like the 7.5Ah) is necessary for bigger yards.
3. Bag can fill quickly in tall grass – The 50-liter bag is fine for routine cuts, but if you let the grass get tall, you’ll be emptying it often. The bag also lacks a full indicator, so you’ll have to guess or check.
4. No included leaf mulching kit – While the mower mulches decently, EGO sells a separate high-lift blade kit ($30) for better leaf shredding. If you have heavy leaves, budget for that add-on.

Bottom Line

The EGO Power+ LM2112 is the best cordless push mower for the suburban homeowner who wants gas-like cutting power without the headaches. It’s not for huge lawns or steep hills, but for a quarter-acre lot, it’s a no-brainer. The instant start, quiet operation, and solid cut quality make it a joy to use week after week. At $479, it’s a premium price, but you’re paying for a premium experience—one that will save you time, money on gas, and frustration for years. Highly recommended for the right buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a larger battery with this mower?
Yes. The LM2112 is compatible with all EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries, including the 5.0Ah, 7.5Ah, and 10.0Ah packs. If you have a bigger yard, buying a higher-capacity battery will extend run time significantly—just note it adds weight and cost.

How long does the battery take to charge?
The included 4.0Ah battery charges fully in about 50-60 minutes with the standard charger. If you buy a rapid charger (sold separately), it can cut that time in half. For most users, charging overnight is fine.

Does this mower handle wet grass well?
Better than most cordless mowers. The brushless motor provides consistent torque, and the dual blades lift grass effectively. That said, very wet or thick grass will still cause some clumping—especially in mulching mode. For best results, mow when the grass is dry.
