EGO Power+ LM1701E 56V Poly Deck Push Cordless Lawn Mower (with 2.5Ah Battery & Standard Charger)

If you maintain a lawn up to 400 square metres in size, the new hand-propelled LM1701E 42cm battery-powered lawn mower from EGO Power+ will deliver petrol-matching power but without any of the downsides. Simpler, cleaner, quieter and with less vibration, this cordless lawn mower also benefits from lower running and maintenance costs. And with zero emissions during use, you can do your bit to reduce your impact on the environment as well.

The lawn mower features a 42cm poly deck is powered by a 56 volt 2.5Ah lithium-ion battery making it easy to set up and start – no filling up with fuel, just click in the battery and get to work! 

The fan and blade combine to deliver outstanding grass collection into the 55 litre collection bag. Adding extra flexibility to the LM1701E, an optional mulch kit is also available.

A single charge of the 2.5Ah battery supplied will give approximately 20 minutes of mowing time. Depending on the grass conditions, the cutting height can be adjusted via a single lever through seven stages from 20mm up to 80mm. The handle is also adjustable in three positions to suit the operator.

The EGO Power+ LM1701E also benefits from an upright storage position so it takes up a smaller footprint in your garage between uses.

NB: Supplied with 2.5Ah battery and standard charger. (Also available as a bare tool LM1700E.)
