I'm curious about the Milwaukee push mower and its value compared to its price. I've seen some positive reviews, particularly here, but I feel like all I hear is "get an Ego instead." That's not really helping me understand why I should choose one over the other, especially since the Milwaukee mower is priced at $600. Most of the negative reviews I've seen seem to focus on runtime concerns or shipping issues, so I'd love some insights into whether the mower really is good or if it's just overpriced.

I've owned the Milwaukee push mower for about two years, and it's been awesome! Lots of power and never had any issues with it. Definitely worth considering if you ask me!
It's a fantastic mower, but the price can be off-putting. I've been using mine for three seasons now without any problems. It’s pretty similar to my previous Honda, which made the switch easy for me!
Ego's a great option for large lawn tools, but if you're getting the Milwaukee mower for $600 with those batteries included, it’s practically a steal at that price!
I think a lot of the negative feedback boils down to the price point. I've tried it at the store, but at $1100 for the full kit, it felt steep. For $600 with the included Forge batteries, it makes a lot more sense, though!
Honestly, I wouldn’t bother unless you really need it. I went with a Ryobi because it was cheaper, and the performance was similar. But if you’re getting the Milwaukee at a discount, it might be worth it for you!
Thanks for your input! I love that it folds up in the garage and that I won’t have to mess with gas cans anymore.
