Ego Electric Outdoor Power Tools

Lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers may not seem like looming environmental threats. But, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that gardening equipment accounts for up to 5% of our air pollution. If you regularly use gas-powered outdoor tools, consider switching to electric. These greener tools don’t spit out noxious fumes, make less noise, and they’re more Earth-friendly. We recommend Ego Power Plus outdoor tools, which have an excellent reputation for longevity, reliability, and performance. Both Wirecutter and Consumer Reports review their products highly. And a member of our team recently purchased a multi-blade Ego electric mower on Amazon for her home. (We’ll share updates after she’s really put it to work.) Ego items often go on sale, so for best pricing, you may want to comparison shop at Amazon, Lowe’s, and Ace Hardware.
