Saw these two a week ago on Amazon and placed an order, and Amazon just provided these ESTIMATED delivery dates:

And... WTH, the other two are page missing... weird. Screen shot of the order so you all don't think i'm crazy. =) They also had the bump feed head for the new power head trimmer, but that one is gone too.

Good morning Jennifer, any updates on the high lift blade?

There is no 20-inch high lift blade.

Sure there is, you just need to add the grinder modification...

The 21" designation is not accurate. Measure the "21" blade. Even measure the underside of the deck of the "21" mower. You won't find either one equals 21". Deceptive advertising or alternate-universe measurements?
-

I think it's cm to inches, and then rounded up. . Easier to say 21 than 20.4" mower.

There's a high lift 20" blade in Europe, not here.

And, screw this ridiculous waiting, I'm calling this place Monday to be sure it will fit my 21"SP and ordering there - I'll either get it quicker from the UK or like other things in life, as soon as I order it it will make the US model appear - then you can all thank me for that - LOL

The release date for the high lift 21" blade that I pre-ordered from Amazon has a "release date" of April 20th, which has not changed since I placed the order. Amazon's release date for the AH1500 RR head was pretty accurate, so I don't see why the 21" blade would be different. Could it slip; sure! Will it be the end of the world, not likely... could it possibly fix a lot of dissatisfied 21" (and 20") mower owners; maybe.
Based on Ego getting blasted for posting a target release date, and then having it slip. I would think the average consumer will be able to conclude that Ego is not likely to provide future delivery estimates for future products. Which is too bad, as I like having the ability to see what's coming down the pipe, and then evaluating my options accordingly.
The Multi-Tool Power Head is a good example, we knew about that one having a release date in 2017 probably a year ago. Is Ego doing it perfect, of course not, but they are doing a pretty good job.

I managed to catch it on Amazon and placed an order on 4/20. It just now is giving me the same date range (previously it was TBD).

Maybe we should be required to write essays about why we want the HL blade, and the best 25 of those submitted, will go to the top of the list of HL blade orders...

Got an update email from Amazon for the AB2101, "Friday, May 5, 2017 - Wednesday, May 10, 2017 "
And when I log into Amazon and check, it's ahead a day to: "Arriving May 4 - May 9"

And now the status is: "Shipping TODAY" (which usually means tomorrow, Thursday), and if they expedite ship, it might be here Friday, 5/5.
Just in time for it's date with the Milwauke M18 Fuel 5" grinder w/ cut-off wheel... or since there is so much strife about Ego withholding millimeters off the blade length, then maybe the 21" will drop right into the 20"... =)

Can you (or anyone w/ the new blade), flip it over (from the above picture), and tell me the height of the ends (maybe 1-1/2 to 2")? Trying to determine if it is close to the 20" blade.
-
1,360 Points
I think the depth is the key. Height is 5/8". Depth 3". Wing width 2 3/4". 
-
26,632 Points
Thanks, can you provide one more measurement, the height of the center section where it bolts to the motor?
-
14,510 Points
Gee that looks like a manufacturing triumph - they should put that on that Magnificent Machines show!
-

1/2"!
-
1,360 Points
The height of the center appears to be the same as the current blade. Although I am comparing it to the 21".
-
26,632 Points
What is even better news is that it is the same offset as the 20" blade! Thanks for running that to ground for me.

Ur lucky you ordered it when you did - you should auction it off up in here!

This isn't making a lot of sense. I got my notice that it is to arrive on Sat. So why is Amazon shipping, but EGO has not yet announced the blade's availability, or at least I haven't seen it on this blog. I'll believe it when I see the CORRECT blade arrive. It wouldn't be the first thing that Amazon has screwed up.
-

Along with others, I now have my HL blade via Amazon, but as far as I know, Ego rep has not confirmed availability on this blog or elsewhere. That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Wow, Harry. Name calling? Not even cool.
(a)TE, Amazon seems to be having some supply chain problems lately. A friend has a book coming out in a couple of months and Amazon recently released "early" copies that weren't supposed to release. They had typos, among other editing problems in them, but people now have those copies in their hands. Fortunately most who ended up with those copies are friends of the author so won't be upset that they received these particular copies. However, I can imagine some who aren't friends may have got one and might be a bit upset about it. So, I'm thinking there is definitely a supply chain problem going on.

Of course! We're never all going to agree on every point of every argument, but there's no reason that disagreements/ critiques can't be conveyed respectfully.

Bloomz - I would think the difference is
Accepted = you are wrong, it doesn't work like that, this is better, this product stinks
Not accepted = you're dumb, that is a stupid idea
You can disagree and/or be critical without attacking a person

Amber is referring to the experience of participating on this board being positive, not a requirement that only positive things are said about Ego's products.
As others have mentioned, there are lots of ways to express yourself without resorting to personal insults.
