I love your comparison. You hit many of the same pros/cons I noted while researching electric zero turn mowers. I quickly narrowed the selection to the EGO and Greenworks.
As noted, the main advantages to the Greenworks are:
Grease Zerks for maintenance.
Battery placement (better weight distribution, since zero turns are already front end light, and better space utilization.
The "trunk/bed"
The 2" receiver on the front
Added protection of key components underneath
The frame is fully welded, not tack welded like many mowers/tractors today. - Also should note that the 42" models of the residential (60v) and commercial (80v) appear to be the exact same frame, wire harness and I suspect controller (just programmed to the applicable voltage range). That leaves possible differences in the motors themselves, and of course batteries.
The Greenworks comes with a mulching plate cover for the deck.... the Ego doesn't, and is part of an expensive add-on kit.

As noted, the main advantages to the Ego are:
Control panel is provides a lot more information. I like information/data so that I know how my vehicles/equipment functions.
Seat - The adjustable suspension is very appealing to me, as I have back issues.
The bumpers/rub rails on the deck sides to help protect it.
Built in charger is more convienient than the Greenworks (3 separate charging bases, and each pulls 10 amps, so you need to split them up and run on a separate circuits.)

I ended up going with the Greenworks mower and received it yesterday. Assembly was quick and easy, and I expect to mow this weekend, so we will see how it does, and how quickly I learn to drive a zero turn.

I purchased the EGO at Lowes. It was delivered to my house the next day and it was filthy. There were also some rust spots - even on one of the batteries. The manual had obviously been wet and a box was completely destroyed from rain. The charger didn’t work either. I had them pick it up and I saved lots of money and purchased the greenworks from the company. None of that was the fault of EGO. Just watch out if you purchase from Lowes!

Bought the green works love the cargo space in the back and the more electronics on the unit the more the chance of problems don’t care about big screens just want to cut my lawn.

Reliability is going to be the main selling point when I buy one next summer. As a guy in a wheelchair, the Greenworks seems to be the only option because there is no foot operation. (It's why I chose my Toro Timecutter in 2011.) A huge knock against the Greenworks is the lack of plug-in recharging port. What the hell were they thinking of not including one? It seems like a total no-brainer. I agree with you about the batteries setup on the EGO. I hate how the battery storage area sticks out so much from the back end. If Greenworks could store their batteries under the seat, why couldn't EGO? A new lawn mower company could sell a ton of EV Zero turn mowers if they managed to eliminate these two flaws, and paint the mower in a more flattering colour like red, white, and black like on my Toro.

i ended up choosing the greenworks zero turn over the ego for two main reasons. first i liked that the batteries where under the seat and didnt stick way out the back ike the ego. this also meant for additional space to haul stuff, which has came in very handy so far. this also looks more aesthetically pleasing and takes up less room in my already packed garage. Secondly, i was able to get 0% financing for the greenworks through tractor supply. it was nice not having 5k fly out of my checking account all at once. I will give ego the one up on the battery charging situation, but considering the mentioned benefits of the greenworks, they outweighed this issue for me.

I think I'm leaning EGO over the Husqvarna 254F I had my eye on. The 42" Z6 EGO is $1000+ more, but the savings from no oil, fluid, filter changes and no $$$ gasoline needed...could end up way cheaper after 5 years!

[bobbysmith]

Makes ya Wonder if Egos is Not letting ya See a lotta “Empty Space” Under The Seat🤔 Since You Could Not Raise the Seat😜😂😂😂
Just Sayin 🤷‍♂️
Thanks for the video!!!
Three thumbs up 👍👍👍

I have 2-acre field to mow which is mostly weeds and grass and can get up to 2 feet high. I have an IH 340 with a bush hog that I use now, but it is dying, Will any of these be good for this type of mowing?

[stevemellinger]

The big difference between Green Works and Ego is on the Ego you can adjust speed of travel and speed of blade spin and it gives three settings for control. Green Works doesn't have any of those features. Ego guarantees it's batteries and mower for five years after you register each item. There is nothing on the market like it.

[silviaculell]

Very nice mower. Exactly what I needed....

[jgionti]

Great video but which one would you buy? That’s what I was looking for.

[metoo]

Not many electric mowers have a clean out port too. I noticed this Ego does..I think that was missed in the video.. To me that option is a big plus!

[BenDiscoe]

What tips me toward the Greenworks is that the same batteries go into a seriously powerful chainsaw (the Greenworks CS60L810) while the Ego batteries only go into the mid-range Ego CS1804.

[Margalus]

The ego batteries in the rear is a better design in my opinion simply because it puts more weight on the rear wheels.

[chrisrichey]

My grass is thick. Would this work on a 1/2 acre lot with thick grass?

[mogeking]

Soon their will be a street fight with ego and Greenworks pro I think 🤔 Greenworks will win because ego tells you to F off whenever you call ☎️ 😂😂😂😂

[jonserkspawn]

The only reason to get under the seat of the Ego is for repairs. Being it has a 5 yr warranty, there's no reason for one to get under the seat. All the connections are nicely sealed with their perspective covers to keep debris out

[josephpuchel]

Hey nice video Never seen a Lowes around hear having hardware like this.

[braydenlowe]

Hello can you please make a video of the Axis utvs at Lowe's?
