The Best EGO Products We’ve Used Since 2015: An Honest Review After 10+ Years

Looking for the best EGO products worth buying? 

After 10+ years of using EGO Power+ equipment on our property, we’re sharing the tools we use most, the products we’d buy again, and why we made the switch from gas-powered lawn equipment in the first place.

Why We Switched to EGO Power+ in 2015

Our EGO story began long before Blue Day 2 existed.

At the end of 2014, we purchased a piece of property where we planned to build our home. Before construction even started, we quickly learned that owning land comes with responsibilities—especially when a bright yellow citation notice appears reminding you to mow the grass.

Without a house, garage, or shed to store equipment, we needed a practical solution.

We didn’t want to transport gasoline in our vehicle. We didn’t want oil spills. And we certainly didn’t want to deal with extension cords stretched across an empty lot.

After researching battery-powered lawn equipment, we purchased our first EGO lawn mower in 2015.

What we thought would be a temporary solution turned into one of our best home investments.

Today, that same mower is still running.

Over the years, we’ve gradually replaced gas-powered, corded, and noisy outdoor equipment with EGO products. The ability to use one battery system across multiple tools has simplified outdoor maintenance while eliminating the hassle of gas cans, oil changes, and tangled cords.

Why We Love EGO Battery-Powered Lawn Equipment

After nearly a decade of use, these are the biggest benefits we’ve experienced:

  • No gas or oil required
  • Quieter operation than traditional gas-powered tools
  • One battery platform for multiple products
  • Easy storage and transportation
  • Less maintenance
  • Reliable performance year after year
  • Family-friendly operation with fewer fumes and less noise

For homeowners looking to simplify outdoor maintenance, EGO has consistently delivered.

Our Favorite EGO Products After 10+ Years

#1 EGO Lawn Mower Review

The mower that started our EGO journey has survived years of regular use and continues to perform reliably. We’ve used it on everything from vacant property maintenance to caring for our current home’s yard.

What stands out most is the convenience. There’s no gas station trip before mowing, no oil changes, and no frustration trying to start a stubborn engine. So easy to use, I mowed while pregnant (not husband-approved or recommended). 

For busy families, that simplicity matters.

#2 EGO Leaf Blower Review: Our Most Used Outdoor Tool

The EGO leaf blower deserves its own category.

While the mower introduced us to EGO, the leaf blower has become the most-used tool in our household.

And not always for leaf blowing.

Mom-Approved Uses

As someone who appreciates a clean outdoor space, I use the leaf blower regularly for:

  • Cleaning outdoor furniture
  • Clearing patios and walkways
  • Removing grass clippings
  • Dusting off decks
  • Clearing light snow from steps and driveways

It makes quick work of jobs that would otherwise require a broom and much more effort.

Husband-Approved Uses

My husband has found some creative applications over the years, including:

  • Powering pool floats
  • Creating air-powered experiments
  • Backyard engineering projects

Kid-Approved Uses (with supervision)

Our boys have spent years testing the limits of what a leaf blower can do.

Some memorable creations include:

  • Air-powered tee ball
  • Ball launchers
  • Hovering object challenges
  • Backyard obstacle course inventions

Honestly, I’m amazed it’s still running after everything we’ve put it through.

And that’s probably the best review I can give.

#3 EGO String Trimmer Review

he string trimmer became a natural addition to our EGO collection.

Because we already owned compatible batteries, adding another tool to the system made sense. It handles routine edging and trimming without the noise, maintenance, or fuel requirements of traditional gas-powered alternatives.

Like the mower, it simply works.

#4 EGO Shop Vac Review

The EGO shop vac is one of those products you don’t realize you’ll use constantly until you own one.

From basement-garage cleanup to vehicle detailing and workshop projects, it’s become a reliable tool that saves time and eliminates the need to search for outlets or extension cords.

The portability alone makes it worth considering.

#5 EGO Pressure Washer Review

The pressure washer has become a favorite for seasonal outdoor maintenance.

We use it to clean patios, sidewalks, outdoor furniture, and other surfaces that collect dirt throughout the year.

Like the rest of the EGO lineup, setup is straightforward and performance has been dependable.

What’s Next on Our EGO Wish List?

Even after nearly a decade of building our collection, there are still a few EGO products we’d love to add.

At the top of our list:

  • EGO Snow Blower
  • Additional outdoor power equipment

At the top of our 4-year-old’s list:

  • The EGO Mini Bike

We’ll see which wish list gets fulfilled first.

Final Thoughts: Are EGO Products Worth It?

After 10+ years of ownership, our answer is simple: ABSOLUTELY YES.

The original mower that started it all is still running. The leaf blower continues to survive backyard experiments. And the growing collection of EGO tools has helped us simplify outdoor maintenance while eliminating gas, oil, cords, and unnecessary hassle.

If you’re looking for dependable battery-powered lawn equipment, EGO remains one of the easiest product recommendations we can make.

And if you’re just getting started, I’d begin with the mower or the leaf blower.

That’s exactly where our story began.

Hi, I’m Tiffany Dill!

As a mom with profound hearing loss, I know firsthand the beauty and chaos of navigating life with young kids, extended family, and all the little surprises along the way. At Blue Day 2, I’m all about creating spaces and experiences that bring joy to families of all ages and abilities. From home designs that work seamlessly for everyone to sharing my favorite picks from my LTK and Amazon shops, I’m here to make life and travel simpler, more accessible, and filled with joy. Stick around for plenty of inspiration, a little less stress, and a whole lot more fun as we embrace life’s perfectly imperfect adventures together!

Let's Get Personal!

Click on the tabs below to learn more fun facts about me. Do we have anything in common?

Tiffany, you've been married to Andrew for over 16 years now. Any special anniversary traditions?

Oh, absolutely! Every year since we got married in September 2008, we’ve worn the exact same clothes we left our wedding reception in. Yup, I'm talking my gold cocktail dress, wedding jewelry shining, and Andrew rocking his wedding suit. We’re not about to let that tradition slide. It’s been 16 years of pure anniversary magic. I guess you could say we’re "stuck" in our wedding day outfits, but in the best way possible!

Completing an Ironman and earning a doctorate in occupational therapy in the same year sounds intense. How did you pull that off?

Intense is one way to put it! But honestly, raising two energetic boys might just be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The Ironman and doctorate were definitely tough, but mom life? That’s the ultimate endurance race. It’s the one that keeps me—and even Andrew—on our A-game, every single day. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, though. There’s nothing like their opposite personalities and they surprise you with so much joy even in the chaos, and that's where my energy goes—no finish line required.

You’ve set a pretty ambitious goal with playing ‘Sweet By and By’ on the piano. What’s the story there?

Ah, yes! I miss playing the piano. I started playing piano since second grade and even made it to an advanced level through college. But now, my life goal is to master Sweet By and By (again) before I leave earth. It’s definitely a stretch, but that’s the fun part, right? First, though, I need to add a piano in a room I’ve been dreaming of since we built our home. Playing piano was always my outlet. Until then, running is my stress reliever.

Hidden talent alert: You can read lips. How’d you discover that one?

Oh, this one goes way back! When I was four years old, I managed to fool five different audiologists during my hearing tests. It wasn’t until a doctor noticed that I wasn’t repeating what she said when she turned around (back in those days they didn’t cover their lips nor did they have tinted windows in the sound booth)! I had spinal meningitis at 13 months, which nearly took my life and left me in a coma for a week. As a result, I had to start over on a few developmental milestones and missed a lot of early speech and language development. Thanks to years of speech therapy and a knack for lip-reading, I still manage to fool people with my profound hearing loss. It comes in handy when someone wants to know what the ref said on the field or TV, or if I’m in a crowded room and want to eavesdrop—just kidding. Sort of.

On the flip side, what are some things you’re not a fan of?

Confined spaces. Cilantro. Olives. Blue cheese. I could live without all of those. And don’t even get me started on being stuck inside for hours at a time. I'm much more suited to wide-open spaces, the great outdoors, and pretty much anything that involves fresh air.

We all know you’re a planner, but what do you hold closest to your heart?

Sentiments. They’re irreplaceable. There’s something about the things that carry emotional weight—whether it’s a moment or an object—that just can’t be duplicated. I’ve learned to really appreciate the simple, meaningful stuff in life. In fact, our Christmas tree is adorned with over 20 years of ornaments symbolizing memories from a loss of loved ones to trips and even sour times. It’s like finding joy in the simple little things whether they are happy or sad or even bad memories.

You’re a busy mom and entrepreneur, but how do you manage to squeeze in family time?

Time? What’s that? Ha! Honestly, there’s just not enough of it. And the thing is, we can’t get it back. So I prioritize memory-making with my family. That’s my top priority. Whether it’s hiking, running, biking, traveling, or exploring the great outdoors with my boys, I live for those moments. In fact, I devote one day off work a week to be with my little guys and my husband and I carve out a weekly date night.
