What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
EGO POWER+ LM2135SP Select Cut 21"
One whitelisted tester with a real hands-on body survived verification: Pro Tool Reviews, which field-tested the LM2135SP kit over two days on a Florida (Vero Beach) sod farm and scored it 9.4/10. They praise strong power, mulching and bagging, and near-hour run-times; the main knocks are the premium $649 price and the 12-15% run-time hit from the optional Tri-Cut blade. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Powerful cutting through thick St. Augustine grass with strong self-propel traction on inclines and wet grass; Excellent mulching and bagging from the dual-blade Select Cut system, no clumping under the deck; Near-hour run-time on the single 56V 7.5Ah battery (up to ~3/4 acre light load).
Flagged: Premium price ($649 kit); Optional Tri-Cut mulching blade cuts run-time by ~12-15%; New self-propel buttons feel awkward at first until handle height is set to a 90-degree arm angle.
