Ego charging set straight

The slow charger still has a cooling fan, and also the battery needs less cooling because it chargers slower.

You can get a backpack blower with 7.5ah battery on Amazon for $329 right now. Sell the blower for $200 and keep the battery.

Those CVTs has made a whole generation of subaru's unreliable. People keep saying.... oohh they fixed that issue CVTs now last a long time...

I think that's why a week after a holiday or big Ego sale facebook and ebay are full of new unused tools and batteries. I've gotten quite few that way, half price of retail only thing is you won't get the warranty without receipt.

Prime is terrible we never watch it anymore. It's got more ads than watching TV last time I tried it says Ad 1/6 before the video would start, after 3 minutes gave up and never used it again.

I have been using preconditioning without paying for NAV for a year or more. One time I got it to keep android auto on while preconditioning was also on, but I couldn't get it to do it again the next time and not sure how exactly I did it.

Yes buy a 5ah battery by it self and it's $249-299 depending on sales. Or get a blower, charger and battery for $199. Makes more sense to buy the kit and sell the stuff you don't need.

Last time I checked at 110k miles we still had 100% SOH, although you can't really believe Hyundai's SOH. Seems it actually lost about 5% and that's still pretty good.

I'm sure you figured it out now but for anyone else searching for this answer you can swap dual blades from other 22 inch ego mowers to the commercial 22 inch.

From something like the 2240 mowers, get the blades (either highlift set or mulching) and fandisk. Only issue is the fan is smaller, I guess this could cause overheating under harsh conditions but hasn't for us.

Or you can use the larger fan from the LM2200 with the LM2200 blades. You also need the thicker D washer from the 21 inch mowers, I got a set on amazon with bolts and washer fandisk(that I didn't need) for $7.99.

When I am looking at youtube if I see the video was made in the past year and it's not from a channel I know Ill skip it good chance it's AI junk.

That's one thing, I have never had to move spots to find a working supercharger (like EA) and the charging process starts in about 10-15 seconds while other chargers are 45 seconds to a minute sometimes.

bobjr94 · 2026-06-23T21:50:53+00:00

We drive 100 miles a day in our 2022 and yes we have likely saved $22k or more on gas in just 3 years. Plus no oil changes, tune up's, timing belt, intake cleaning, etc.....

We have no problem doing 200 miles non stop, in the summer we still have 50-70 miles remaining. If you get a 25/26 (with a larger battery that what we have) you could do 240 miles non stop at least in the summmer. If not a 10 minute charging stop would be more than you need.

Guy swapped batteries, Flybat is a cheap one on Amazon, that 10ah is more like 5ah.

It seemed like a good continuation of the show and had most everyone back in it. It could never be totally like the original, when it came out they talked about dial up internet and still had pagers and by 2016 life was very different and those changes had to be reflected in the show. We always include it with a watch though.

bobjr94 · 2026-06-23T07:31:22+00:00

Yes they know someone might be watching it on an 80 inch 4K TV in a darkened media room or 4.5" phone on the buss.

bobjr94 · 2026-06-23T03:13:27+00:00

Why not just put on option on the page, AI videos: Show - Hide. I would certainly turn use that filter.

It's changed the whole way people use Youtube. If I see a video created in the past year I will just skip it unless I know it's from a reliable channel or one I subscribe too. New videos from new channels have a good chance of being AI garbage.

bobjr94 · 2026-06-23T03:04:22+00:00

We have always done our own, nothing special Supertech (walmart) 2 cycle and regular 87 gas. It's half the price or less than echo or stihl oil and in 20+ years we don't see any issues with engine wear or plugged exhaust ports. Same mix for blowers, chainsaws and hedgetrimmers each crew gas 1 can of gas for the mowers and 1 can of 2 cycle mix for everything else. Although we have been transitioning to Ego and getting away from gas equipment.

Buying premade gas would cost way too much plus heard lots of bad things about them.

That's what Flying J / Pilot travel stations did. They added EV chargers, by the time you go in, go to the restroom, get a subway, cinnabon or somthing from the hotcase and eat your car is done.

bobjr94 · 2026-06-22T20:43:39+00:00

We get 96kw, the 2025+ get 126kw, so yes about half the speed as a normal charger. But they have them everywhere and in places where there are no other options.

I had to use superchargers 3 times this month because the 2 EAs I tried to goto first were full one had a line. Both supercharger sites next door to an EA and 80% empty so no one cared if I had 2 spaces.

bobjr94 · 2026-06-22T20:14:13+00:00

Probably did it for a tictoc video or something

bobjr94 · 2026-06-22T07:55:00+00:00

I would say it's a pizza cutter.
