18V just isnt going to cut it for a lawnmower. 
Have you seen how dominant Milwaukee Tool has become in Home Depots cordless power tools, hand tools, power tool accessories, and safety product categories? You can read more about this here.
Not to digress, but theirs are very good offerings and I am quite impressed with what they have done in a short amount of time. Is EGO customer service this horrible??? So I see EGO as one of the most progressive and innovative companies out there producing OPE. Lastly I have the Leaf Blower, LB6504 that comes with a 5.0Ah battery and standard charger. This move leaves Home Depot without a good solution for a high end battery lawn mower, which is a key part of any homeowners OPE arsenal. My thoughts too. Chervon has been expanding their still relatively new lines of Skil cordless power tools. Should I trust EGO customer service? Stanley Black & Deckers Craftsman and Dewalt brands are certainly emphasized offerings at Lowes, but Lowes doesnt seem as tightly bound to some of their other brands. My former TTI buddy was always chapped that Chervon made the ridgid 10 scms and they had been working for years to replace it. But, from what I have seen, Lowes does not seem to have as many powerful relationships as Home Depot. Will be interesting to see if prices drop. I usually mow with the bag attachment and while the mower gave me a clean cut, bagging and clean-up was not up to par. If the Skil brand were to continue to expand this could be Lowes answer to these type of purchases. Help is just a phone call away! Most short runtime issues occur due to battery neglect, not failure. Which brand(s) would have been customers typical alternate choices if they didnt go with EGO models at Home Depot? I like the Greenworks tools. 
I had my doubts. All rights reserved. I know I was and skeptical about buying other EGO products. If Greenworks is sold along side EGO, this is a big step down for EGO. $$$ talks.
They also seem to have an exclusive presence of Empire Level too, with perhaps more products on the shelf now that the brand is owned by Milwaukee. Li-Ion batteries are more efficient than other chemistries and provide more power, and torque in the same tool. Youre in luck EGO has announced a zero turn that will run off of up to 6 of their 56V batteries. Im sorry, I really dont know what to advise. I got so frustrated I finally said to Home Depot to come and pick up the whole EGO line of tools here at my house. No really. We have fast growing grass in this area. So it was probably quiet easy to up-sell your average consumer.
Its mostly a noise pollution thing with a side of smog reduction. These guys love nothing more than sticking it to their previous employer after jumping ship. Knowing thewhy behind brand partnerships can help us understand how brand offerings might change over the years. With Skil 12V, 20V, and 40V Max cordless power tools and outdoor power tools at Lowes stores, and EGO cordless outdoor power tools, and maybe Skilsaw tools as well, Lowes will be a much bigger customer to Chervon than previously. 
He mowed the next door lawn at the same time I mowed, Ha. Here are Home Depots core-focus cordless power tools brands: Of these brands, Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee, and Ryobi all have a strong presence in the cordless outdoor power tool industry. They had barely two EGO items on the shelf. Sorry, I need an edit button. They all have competitive offerings, and broad selection. If so, which brands will we see gain greater presence perhaps Ryobi? My second sentence should read .that my experiences. Mybe Ryobi Pro cordless? It was Saturday morning and it was already busy busy. Skilsaw is a pro-oriented arm of the Skil brand. Ha, most of my neighbors here (Huntsville) have some fashion of ZERO-Turns mowers.If they do not, they hire a yard-guy who promptly drives up in a Big Chevy and trailer who unloads his hugemongous ZERO-Turn who quickly cuts the grass in a rapid fashion! If you switch to Li-Ion, be sure your charger is compatible before charging. With those goals in mind, I basically didnt consider even looking at Lowes for those tools. This is a loss for HD to be sure. I noticed that all of that equipment is on clearance. 
Thus does EGO displace both?! I will not do business with it. Id say theres a 50:50 chance that Home Depots reset was their decision, with an equal likelihood that it wasnt and the move is more of an adaptation. When I first purchased my mower, I noticed that it wasnt great at picking up leaves or cleaning off the sidewalk after I edged. International Tool went bankrupt, and in the proceedings it was said that Sears was one of the Debtors most significant customers.. This new partnership with EGO would have led to a bigger relationship by itself, but adding Skil and maybe also Skilsaw into the mix makes for an enormous deal. 18V Nickel Cadmium Battery for Dewalt Power Tools, 18V Nickel Cadmium Battery for Firestorm Power Tools, 9.6V Nickel Cadmium Battery Stick for Makita Power Tools, 12V Nickel Cadmium Battery for Dewalt Power Tools, Nuon 14.4V Nickel Cadmium Battery for Dewalt Power Tools, 18V Nickel Cadmium Battery for Ryobi Power Tools, Nuon VersaPak Replacement Battery (2 Pack), Nuon 18V Lithium Ion Battery for Makita Power Tools, 12V Nickel Cadmium Battery for Makita Power Tools, Built using the highest grade cells for peak performance, Compatible with a variety of Dewalt models, Replaces older chemistry drill packs with compatible AH and charge rate, Compatible with a variety of Black & Decker models, Compatible with a variety of Makita models. It is possible that Home Depot pushed EGO out to reset their cordless outdoor power equipment category. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Dewalt and Makita are also very visible at Home Depot, with Dewalt in cordless power tool, hand tool, storage, accessory, and clamping tool sections, among others. Chervon and Lowes already have an OEM relationship for Kobalts 24V Max cordless power tools. 
Just this week I noticed kolbalt @ 50% off. However, Home Depot resetting their outdoor power tool category indicates whatwill happen and not necessarily what led up to this. Plenty of up-scale customers. If HD actually initiated the change, my guess is that, despite the success they have had with the Ego, they think they can make more margin dollars per unit with an even more premium priced Milwaukee line. IT makes sense for them to rebrand to the Milwaukee battery system for sales.
Stand up mowers! The brief mention of Skil being a part of things this very strongly suggests a stronger relationship between Lowes and Chervon. However on the other side, Lowes has long been seen and marketed as the home owner/DIY store. Skil and Kobalt would be competing with Craftsman at Lowes, and HD seem to be pushing Dewalt into the background. Can you cock back the blade release button and, I think Crescent has really been stepping up their game (to parrot your phrase) in a bunch of categories lately., Lowes announced their new exclusive partnership with EGO, Home Depot has an exclusive partnership with Stanley and FatMax, Bosch Announces New Cordless Power Tool and Battery System Alliances , https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ego&ref=nb_sb_noss_1, ToughBuilt Reload Utility Knife Review Fun & Functional, New Harbor Freight Bauer Cordless Rotary Tool, ToughBuilt Reload Utility Knife Review - Fun & Functional, Price-Drop: Knipex Cobra & Diagonal Cutter Pliers Set, Tool Brands' USA Expansion Updates - Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Milwaukee M4 Cordless Screwdriver is 10 Years Old, Still no RedLithium USB, Lowe's Launched a New Kobalt 4V Cordless Screwdriver. Frankly, I dont expect to learn the answer to this, as details behind exclusivity arrangements are rarely made public.
I only had to put my old unit in the box from the new string trimmer and return it with the included label and tracking number. Im wishing that with the reset theyll bother to carry Makitas good ope stuff instead of the budget garbage, but that seems a bit unlikely. Moving forward, I think HD will do even better selling TTis full line of Milwaukee, Ryobi, Ridgid, etc. As far as I can tell, Echo and DeWalt are the only two companies at HD that make true OPE competition for Ego, and Ego was clearly superior to both of them. Regardless of thehow and why, EGO leaving Home Depot and going to Lowes leaves a hole in Home Depots selection, but also one they are highly capable of filling. What are your thoughts or theories about this new change in partnerships?
So now I am thinking this is a Home Depot issue, not EGO. When it comes to Home Depot, what TTI wants TTI gets. Great place to live I worked on Redstone for 11 years. In Australia the failed Masters hardware venture with Lowes had a big (and pretty much exclusive) Ego presence in the outdoor power tools section. Regional or national resets are very expensive propositions. Line review negotiations not only focus on product costs, but back-end programs for advertising, marketing, mark-downs, competitive product buy-backs, etc. It doesnt look like theyre going to be bringing any pro level battery tools in either. I can honestly say that experiences with EGO customer service have been great, as have their products. I dont care do you? To paraphrase a badly chosen jacket on a politicians wife. Li-Ion batteries can handle roughly 800-1000 charges and do not need to be discharged before recharge. 
HD is going to be all TTI (they also make echo cordless) and Lowes is all Chervon. All registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.Copyright 2022, Batteries Plus LLC. Faster Charging. But you can order the tool only on-line; well thats BS! I wouldnt be surprised to see DeWalt and/or the TTI brands coming up with something very soon to try and fill that void. If Chevron makes Kobalt and Ego. What will happen to kobalt when Ego arrives at Lowes. By the way Craftsman 60V is nowhere to be seen other than at Menards in our area. . It seems that Amazon is offering more Ego tools than I remember being available: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ego&ref=nb_sb_noss_1. . Also as someone above posted, I think Milwaukees MX Fuel would be a perfect fit for a line of commercial OPE. With this mower you now have a choice between two different twin-bladed options and they both come with the new mower. 
In case you have forgotten, Home Depot has an exclusive partnership with Stanley and FatMax. Chervon, the OEM for many Kobalt cordless power tools (I say many because a different brand might be making their 80V Max tools) has an existing relationship. I would think that this has its roots all the way back then. I heard CA was considering a state wide ban on gas OPE at some future time. But now I am stuck having to start all over with another brand and to tell you the truth, we liked the Ego mower and weed whacker. Got those tools basically because of the low price point and decent reviews, and I know a handful of people that have done the same. Many of Lowes Kobalt cordless power tools are made by Chervon, EGOs parent company, and so they enjoy a strong relationship in that regard. I know personally, I dont own any core tools from Ryobi but so have some more specialty tools (hot glue gun, tire inflator, cordless vacuum). Looking at this from EGOs perspective I can see two trains of thought. I can only hope that this means well be seeing a Milwaukee lawn mower soon that TTI wants displayed front and center in the OPE section without competition from EGO. Maybe both. HD -uh, K no see we have names people actually know. Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are now the primary power source for newer tools. The retailers expectation during the the line review and subsequent reset is that they will realize increases in sales, profit, and customer traffic as a result of their investment. 
The last time I was at Lowes, with respect to cordless power tools, they had select Bosch and Metabo HPT offerings, strong showings of Kobalt and Dewalt tools, and emphasized focus on Craftsman tools. Then, Lowes announced Ego was coming, which leads me to believe Home depots press release was reactionary. Skils 40V OPE lineup is highly competitivewell, except for the 40V mower, a lightweight withplastic wheels. Starting with a selection of tools, Skil will now have a retail foothold. If the arrangement goes beyond EGO to also include Skil, why wouldnt it also have some tie-in to Lowes OEM relationship with Chervon? I could definitely see this being fun to play with. Finally a place to talk about my EGO/Home Depot nightmare. Home Depot and Lowes are very influential, as are other retail chains of their size.
Li-Ion is noticeably lighter in weight and more compact in size. Home Depot has no room for Skil in either their cordless power tool or outdoor power tool departments. SO HELP!!! Perhaps an 80v OPE line? A little research revealed that EGO was listening to their customer, recognized the problem and produced a High Lift Blade to resolve the issue. Maybe EGO is just ignoring Home Depot customers now? Ryobi is always going to be the budget focused (though they do have a battery riding mower!). What do I do? I am very surprised by the announcement as Lowes has Kobalt (40v, 80v, rebrnded Greenworks) and Greenworks (40, 60v, 80v) ) that are great Outdoor Power Tools. I sensed all summer that Lowes was giving up on Greenworks products, at least here in Southwest Michigan. Maybe theyll come out with a $2500 MX Fuel lawnmower their big 6Ah battery has 432 Wh of energy, slightly more than Egos 7.5 Ah battery. Good luck and I hope you resolve your issues with HD and EGO. It would be interesting to see. Soon itll be fall cleanup tools and blowers on the shelves, and then snowblowers. Skil looks to be enjoying strong sales at Amazon, but is Amazon a strong enough partner through which Skil could become a strong competitor against the other name brands they seek to match or best? As part of all this, according to the news release, Home Depot would bediscontinuing the EGO line of outdoor power equipment. It could be possible that Lowes lured EGO away from Home Depot, offering a more favorable deal and promising greater benefits. Did you notice that Lowes also announced that they will be offering a selection of Skil cordless power tools? While Lowes has their existing partnerships, I could see this deal as being something they were sold on. Lowes presented a better deal and EGO signed with them, with Skil part of Lowes pitch. Let us not forget that Bill Boltz was the president and chief executive officer of Chervon North America prior to becoming the EVP Merchandising at Lowes. The BAUER 8V Cordless, Im not sure these are the first modern folding knives they released. But TTI made the ECHO Cordless . I just wanna know why you can find absolutely zero of the Ego Zero Turn mower in stock at Lowes? The EGO mowers went on clearance at my local HD around the same time as the announcement/blog posts.

Big incentive for Home Depot to keep TTI happy.
You can have the best marketing in the world but if your products are causing a lot of returns for a retailer and you are unresponsive to their demands they will drop you like a hot rock. The only batteries they have are lead acidto start their gas mowers. Sadly Dewalt is the only SBD product I see at HD too so how much longer before that goes away. Home Depot negotiates very hard to secure favorable results in all these areas and this can be too much to bear for some suppliers. The obvious reason is financial, what deal is the most lucrative for the companies involved. Home Depot will be performing amerchandise reset of their outdoor power equipment selection. Wouldnt really be surprised if you were correct. No, and so its understandable and even expected for the messaging to be ambiguous about this. Understanding what led to this recent partnership transition, and even if that just means exploring possible explanations, could play a part in tracking how it potentially influences future changes. Until then not going to care if they shift a brand to a new exclusive place That they were ever exclusive knocks them off my purchase list automatically. Fees may apply for recycling, environmental disposal, and/or labor/installation. Lowes will do better adding EGO to their lineup with Kobalt, Craftsman, etc. 
This reset probably makes the TTI folks quite happy. Several places (some HOAs, not just cities) in the US are starting to restrict 2-cycle OPE, not just CA, but I do know of at least one guy using only electric OPE for his lawncare service.
When I asked for a new mower, HDs response was had you charged it on our HD card then we would replace your mower. Though there is still stock in the stores. Perhaps EGOs exclusivity arrangement with Home Depot was up for renewal and they asked both Home Depot and Lowes for proposals. When using cordless tool batteries, it pays to plan ahead. Ryobi filling the Ego gap? Compatible with a variety of Dewalt and Black & Decker models, Compatible with a variety of Ryobi models, Compatible with a variety of VersaPak models, Replaces older chemistry drill packs with compatible Amp Hour and charge rate. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Understanding the Home Depot vs. Lowes EGO Cordless Power Tools Partnership Swap, Lowes Announces Exclusive Partnership with EGO, Top Cordless Outdoor Power Tool Brand, Home Depot Discontinues EGO Cordless Outdoor Power Tools. One more reason to not go into a Home Depot. As Ive been thinking of buying into the Kobalt 80V OPE system, I took a stroll down that aisle. There are a lot of reader comments to both posts, and in those replies there are a lot of guesses as to what happened to prompt these changes.. WHY this big change? Will Home Depot enjoy greater sales by moving EGO out and replacing their offerings with ones from their other cordless power tool brands? I strongly believe this means TTI wants a larger presence in the OPE section at Home Depot. plus a lot of lawn/patio furniture sets still in boxes. The snowblower was delivered with only one battery and it was then useless since it needs two to operate. One set is for mulching and the other is for bagging and pickup. >>it does not appear that Lowes features Bosch and Metabo HPT cordless power tool offerings with the same energy as Home Depot does Milwaukee and Makita.
EGO is a very well-known brand of cordless outdoor power tools. Ha, I just moved away from Huntsville! You will find some Dewalt tools exclusive to Home Depot and others (such as Xtreme SubCompact) exclusive to Lowes.
Really, it seems like this works out best for all involved. Its possible Home Depot is resetting their brand selection, but the question is whether it was their initiative to do so, or if it is in response to EGO leaving. My OPE is all lightly used gas pro grade equipment from Stihl, Husqvarna, Walker, Cushman, Jacobsen, John Deere etc. This could lead to more sales in EGOs primary market, the home owner. A lot of people will also buy tools the day they decide they need to use them. EGO customer service is this bad? Everyone down there said we would never need a big ZERO-Turn in Northern Alabama! Theres room for another brand in there, and theres room for a premier cordless outdoor power tools to make Lowes a bigger power tool and cordless outdoor power tool destination for shoppers. Id say its likely a more complex combination of things, not only the EGO exclusivity agreement expiring, but Lowes investing more in the Kobalt 24V/XTR and Skil lineups, TTi having more outdoor tools to sell through Home Depot, etc. No new Generation 2 tools except the chainsaw and a few blowers. I literally walked in the door with the bosss credit card ready to walk out with some bare tool x2 stuff to go with what I already had and, well, coincidentally, found myself forced into becoming an ego customer that day. We went to Lowes today and none of the employees even knew about this new exclusivity. Bottom line it was a money deal. .
Ryobi already has a 42 zero turn available. On July 22nd, 2020, Lowes announced their new exclusive partnership with EGO, and that they will be the exclusive nationwide home center to offer EGOs popular battery-powered outdoor power tools. Whether EGO left Home Depot, or Home Depot changed the relationship on their side, would Home Depots announcement have been any different? I have also watched as they have responded well to complaints regarding any overall performance issues. I had to move this thing, which got me the stink eye, in order to get what I was looking for. Cutting my grass is my weekly zen moment. The complexity of the deal with Lowes (Ego and Skil/Skilsaw brands) suggests VERY strongly that the Lowes deal was in place long before the Home Depot announcement. Not sure if this is just end of season clearance or related to the reset. They had them for a few years but, Had another moment yesterday involving a lawn service. Hint to Makers>ZERO-Turn riders do not need an expensive battery pack..and do not need to be so big to keep the yard nicely groomed..And it would be Quiet. They slotted in just a little higher than Ryobi.
In fact I would go so far as to say that based on performance and reliability, EGO is one of the top brands of battery powered OPE (outdoor power equipment) in the market. First let me outline the EGO equipment that I own: a mower, LM2102SP (aka Gen-2, but not the same as the current Gen-3 mower with twin blades) which comes with a 7.5Ah battery and the rapid charger; string trimmer, ST1521S a split shaft carbon fiber unit that comes with a 2.5Ah battery and a standard charger as well as the awesome PowerLoad head; A Multi-Head Combo Kit, MHC1502, which comes with the edger and string-trimmer attachments as well as a 5.0Ah battery and standard charger. Yikes. Living in south Florida, we basically have year round grass mowing and overall landscaping, but I have yet to see a lawn crew using any battery powered OPE. Theyre the only ones who can yank Home Depots chain like this. My theory is that EGO was terribly frustrated with Home Depots repair service. I went into Home Depot (in my geography, it is a) much closer; and b) has had much better service for me- I understand results vary) looking for an Ego something-or-other. By the time I want systems like this, Ill have figured out a solution run by drones, powered by green energy. Yeah right, try and get warranty service on that. It is to Lowes detriment that they do not feature more Bosch tools, or more Pro tools in general. 
In the past few years Ive invested plenty of my hard earn $ in the 80v Kobalt lawn equipment line. And I think that will go away also. 
We need more high voltage lawn mowers! As for your idea of drone lawncare equipment, Robo-mowers already exist, still need to take care of the edging yourself, though. Theres no way any of this was a surprise to the big players involved.
I like the Greenworks tools better. 
Well, hopefully if you made it this far you found the topic as interesting to explore as I have. Sticking to my guns on it being TTI wanting the shelf space. 
Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. Lowes could want to boost their cordless lawn & garden tools selection, and bringing EGO over will certainly do that. We would like Skil to be a Lowes retail exclusive, and we know how much youve been eyeing EGO well give you exclusivity there too.. Same here!! Sounds like the machinations of many of my clients. I wish my 3-blade Toro back.Anyone listening? There is always an advantage to a B&M store that can put your items up against competitors in a place people can see and touch. With that said I have only had two failures. Maybe. On July 21st, 2020, Home Depot announced to their investors that they wereaccelerating investments in outdoor power categories and that this would involve arefinement of top brands. But from my understanding there are some large hurdles which is why we havent seen any AEG rebrand tools here. We didnt yet use the snow blower but it seems to be highly rated. Since then, Chervon has been working to revamp the brand. Sections: Cordless Outdoor Power Tools, Editorial, News More from: Ego. Then again, Chervon is a very experienced cordless power tools company and so this should not have come as a surprise.
Greenworks is next to be vacant from Lowes.
Who is a significant customer of Chervons Skil brand of cordless power tools? 
Will Amazon help Skil gain appreciable market share? We strive to provide the best price available on BatteriesPlus.com and in our stores. I dont know if they are buying retail and reselling as they have been known to do. The most interesting theory Ive seen so far is that this move is somehow connected to Craftsmans outdoor power tool offerings. Its hard to say, as its also end of season for a lot of things. I dont have a dog in this fight. If Home Depot decided to part with EGO, and Chervon was shopping for a new exclusivity arrangement, why would Skil be introduced into the mix at all? Ive not used any of the new skil stuff, but Ive heard a lot of positive things about the revived brand, particularly given the price point. Bigger voltage? As to this Lowes/HD saga. 
But what if Home Depot did want to give greater shelf space to some of the brands that make up the bulk of their cordless power tools department? Chervon could have approached Lowes, saying something like: Hey Lowes, have you seen how well our Skil brand has been selling at [Amazon and possibly other retailers]? They called and EGO never answered. 
He was an old Home Depot guy. Cub cadet has one as well.
While DeWalt and Milwaukee have some nice OPE items, Neither has a lineup as comprehensive as Ego. Hi, Ive been watching your videos analysing the patents of big brands, very helpful! I remeber seeing DeWalt 40v press materials showing lawn care pros using that equipment. as additional options. The stuff between Chervon/EGO and Home Depot/Lowes has been happening out of sight for the last few months. But we also have to remember that most Ego tools were priced lower than the big 3.
