Hello everyone,
I'm new to this community and am hopeful of purchasing an Ego mower. The 2 models in the Post Heading are the ones currently available in Canada (I live West of Toronto) that I am considering (I'm not a fan of SP). I'm highly frustrated with the prices of these mowers in Canada vs. the US prices given the current state of the exchange rate between our two countries. While I understand that the warranty is applicable in Canada for a US purchased mower, the cost and hassle associated with crossing the border and bringing the mower back across are not worthwhile IMHO.
Essentially, the two mowers I am considering are $600 and $700 respectively. I'm definitely purchasing a cordless electric mower in the next week. I need a new mower. I love the brushless (steel) mower but I can't wait to see when they become available in Canada.
There are other cordless options (the Kobalts at Lowe's are most intriguing to me as a second choice).
Is the 2101 worth the extra $113?
Any other thoughts on comparable mowers that aren't quite so pricey?

Ego doesn't have "lots of faulty machines." But people who do have problems post here so they can try to get help, which skews your impression.
There's a reason Ego always comes out on top in reviews --- professional and customer --- and build quality is one of them.
