Where Greenworks Wins
Battery platform compatibility. The Greenworks 80V system includes over 75 compatible tools, from trimmers to blowers and chainsaws. If you already own Greenworks 80V batteries, this mower is a seamless addition. If you’re building a tool ecosystem, the 80V lineup offers more variety than EGO’s 56V platform.
Price. At $659, the EGO costs $59 more. For budget-conscious buyers, the Greenworks delivers a 21" cut and powerful brushless motor for less money. The difference can cover a spare battery or a trimmer attachment.
Higher voltage (80V vs 56V). While voltage alone doesn’t guarantee more power, the 80V system can support higher torque for thick or wet grass. The brushless motor on the Greenworks is efficient and quiet, matching the EGO in most mowing conditions.
Where EGO Wins
Cut quality. The EGO Power+ Select Cut system lets you switch between single-blade (bagging) and dual-blade (mulching) modes. The dual blades produce finer clippings and a cleaner cut, especially in dense grass. The Greenworks uses a single blade, which works well but doesn’t match the EGO’s mulching performance.
Battery efficiency. Despite lower voltage (56V), the EGO’s battery management system delivers excellent runtime. Users consistently report mowing up to 1 acre on a single charge with the included battery. The Greenworks often requires a second battery for larger lawns.
User experience. The EGO has a slightly higher rating (4.5 vs 4.4) across over 2,000 reviews. Owners praise its consistent power delivery, easy push-button start, and durable construction. The handle adjustment and bagging system feel more refined than the Greenworks.
Which Should You Buy
Choose the Greenworks 80V if: You already own Greenworks 80V tools or plan to build a large tool collection around that platform. You want the lowest upfront cost for a capable 21" cordless mower. Your lawn is under ½ acre and you don’t need premium mulching.
Choose the EGO Power+ if: You prioritize cut quality and want the best mulching performance from a cordless push mower. You’re starting fresh with a battery system and prefer a platform with proven reliability and strong resale value. Your lawn has thick grass or frequent clippings that need fine mulching. The extra $59 is worth the improved cutting experience.
Both mowers are excellent. The EGO’s Select Cut feature gives it a clear advantage for anyone who mulches regularly. The Greenworks remains a strong, lower-cost alternative with broader tool compatibility.
