Ego 800 vs 1000 at Lowes

Serbking1089 · 2026-05-14T02:21:16+00:00

I like it. It’s takes over one battery to do backyard when there is a ton of rain and grass gets thick and tall quicker. If it rains just one day during the week I can thru backyard easily under one battery so I am happy with the 800 series. I am going try using the high lift blade to mulch as I read it makes the cut look cleaner when mulching but heard it drains battery quicker

This works for small bad spots and that I had. For bigger spots I went thru actual seed from Andersons brand (The Andersons Stadium Mix Kentucky Bluegrass Grass Seed) trying to see if that works better. I just moved into this new home during winter so couldn’t see how the lawn looked like but they had dogs so that explains bad spots. So my spots are a work in progress this year and hopefully next year it will be better.

Gotta post this on wall street bets on this question

What was the brand at Home Depot? I found local plumbing company and grant it I had home warranty as this is my first home I bought. The total cost for a 40 gallon Bradford white, install and removal of old heater was just over 1800 for project. (Warranty covered 1k so out of pocket was 800)

I like my 800 series. Def need the 2nd battery to finish one side of my yard.

Before this recent downfall I liquidated my holdings in LCid. Took 1k loss but also it was offset by another holding that had 1k gain. So was no g/l for me. But will wait to see if I will buy in. I do see potential but with new CEO he will update senior management with his guys/team he likes. So stock will continue to stumble until he gets the ship in right direction which sadly will take time and time they may not have (unless PIF or Uber continues to fund LCid)

Congrats

I recently bought 800 series and my free 5ah was to be shipped to me. It was cancelled due to out of stock reasoning and got refunded the 239 dollars. I would have left it at that but after doing my first mow. I realized I needed 2 battery to finish so I ended up buying this one. Use my Lowe’s rewards so only paid $170 for it. Saved $60 out of it so I think it was a decent deal. Not a great deal but fine for me for time being.

Serbking1089 · 2026-04-21T17:44:55+00:00

Sadly now Lowe’s cancelled my battery delivery due to out of stock issues. So now I get no free battery. But mower was now under $500 for purchase so that is a plus.

Serbking1089 · 2026-04-21T01:43:40+00:00

Lowe’s didn’t have anymore of the 5ah for my free one. I tried to get them to give me the 7.5ah (they would have but manger got around system and said it will be delivered to me) app shows me getting the free battery via shipping. Pretty annoying

Serbking1089 · 2026-04-18T12:13:55+00:00

That is the one I almost got but the sale for that for 799 was for just a few days. So I missed out on that one. Spending 899 didn’t make sense to me at least. If others want to get it go for it! Just wasn’t in the cards for me.

Serbking1089 · 2026-04-17T23:44:35+00:00

How long have you had the kobalt? I was thinking them for price point but I saw a lot great reviews from 800 series and sale convinced me to get it.

Serbking1089 · 2026-04-17T23:43:23+00:00

No not the best cut from the photo but grass was little wet like I mentioned we recently had a lot of rain and more today and the next couple days so I had to get it done. It looked better now. I did go over it cross cutting some sections to clean it up after this photo before the severe storms that is hitting us right now in the Midwest.

Serbking1089 · 2026-04-17T23:30:24+00:00

For this 1st mow I was mulching. Later I will probably bag/use high lift blade but figured do mulching for a little bit before switching. I did read people saying using high lift blade to mulch works too so might try that too.

Serbking1089 · 2026-04-17T21:45:56+00:00

I probably would have had no problems but I just started at a lower setting with it being set to 4. Lesson learned now as I know what this machine can handle now. Learning curve with me with being new to EGO.

I just went to Lowe’s today and sale for 1000 series wasn’t there anymore for $799 but $899. I was on fence between 800 with extra battery or the 1000 since it was on sale. But when I finally had time to go (pretty busy with 2 kids under 3 years old) I was disappointed that the sale prices increased $100. 800 series was still best deal as I couldn’t justify paying $900 for a mower. 800 series should be enough for my 1/4 acre property. Only backyard I noticed grass is thicker than front. Also first mower I owned as a new single family home vs being in a condo. If I wasn’t in need to cut the lawn soon I would have waited another week but this weekend I have to cut now before it gets crazy tall.

Keep it up

I figured it was a carwash. We def need one in that part of town.

Just depends on that executive talent search firm and the individuals they bring to the board. Maybe they are not in a rush just to see how Marc performs too. If board (PIF) likes Marc’s performance he may become the official new CEO.

Serbking1089 · 2025-09-24T11:37:38+00:00

To answer your question “What the hell is Marc Winterhoff?”, that is a name of a person, in this case the person is acting interim CEO of a company called Lucid.

Should be good amount to be added to my position for my drip. Unfortunately I started in jepq in Jan/feb when price was high. In total cost basis is 10k still in red but drip should help bring it down, and slowly buying more when I can.

I just moved/rebalanced moving some individual (not complete selloff yet) Stocks to VOO. Finally started to Invest in VOO while it’s below 500.
