EGO Mower Models Compared: LM2114SP vs LM2125SP vs LM2135SP vs LM2156SP (and the 2134 Kit)

EGO names its mowers by number and then describes them in marketing language that does not line up across pages, so figuring out what you actually get for each step up takes a spreadsheet. This is that spreadsheet. Everything in the table is from egopowerplus.com; EGO also lists the two-battery kits on its product pages; the combined-runtime claim below comes from the Amazon listing.

The Spec Table

EGO's series badges appear on its listing for the LM2114SP (600) and the LM2135SP and LM2156SP (800); the LM2125SP is listed without one.

What Each Step Up Buys You

LM2114SP to LM2125SP - Touch Drive. Same torque, same deck. What changes is the self-propel control: Touch Drive uses palm pressure to engage self-propel and a fingertip dial to set speed, versus the standard lever on the LM2114SP. The 2125 also comes with the larger 7.5Ah battery, which is where its 60-minute rating comes from against the 2114's 50. If your lawn has a lot of turns and edges, Touch Drive is worth having; on a wide-open rectangle it matters less.

LM2125SP to LM2135SP - Select Cut and more torque. This is the step that changes how the mower cuts. Select Cut is EGO's stacked multi-blade system with swappable lower blades, and the LM2135SP is rated at 7.0 ft-lb against 6.0. Same 7.5Ah battery and the same 60-minute rating; EGO lists eight height settings from one to four inches on this model. For thick, wet, or overdue grass, this is the rung to stop at.

LM2135SP to LM2156SP - Select Cut XP, 8.3 ft-lb, 10Ah. The highest-torque mower in this comparison gets EGO's XP version of Select Cut, a jump to 8.3 ft-lb of torque, and the 10.0Ah battery that EGO rates for 75 minutes. It is the pick for the biggest lawn a 21-inch deck should be asked to handle, or for someone who wants the battery to double as the big pack for an EGO blower or snow blower.

The Retailer Kits: LM2134SP-2 and LM2123SP-2

Search for EGO mowers on Amazon or at a big-box store and you will find several battery-kit model numbers for the same mower platform. EGO lists these kit variants on its product pages. The LM2134SP-2 is the one people compare against the 2135, and the Amazon listing settles it: 7.0 ft-lb of cutting torque, Touch Drive, Select Cut, 800 Series - the LM2135-class mower - bundled with two 6.0Ah batteries instead of one 7.5Ah, which the listing rates at up to 100 minutes of runtime with both packs. If you already own EGO tools and want spare batteries more than a single bigger one, the two-battery kit is the better buy at similar money. The LM2123SP-2 follows the same logic one rung down: a Touch Drive kit with two batteries. Treat the "-2" suffix as "two batteries in the box," not as a different mower.

Matching a Model to a Yard

These yard-size estimates are our rough guide from the runtime figures, not manufacturer specifications: the LM2114SP's 50 minutes is comfortable for a quarter-acre; the 7.5Ah models' 60 minutes stretch to a third of an acre on a single pack; the LM2156SP's 75 minutes or the two-battery LM2134SP-2 are the ones to pick around half an acre. Above that, look at EGO's 22-inch and 30-inch decks in our EGO mower roundup, or step to a different category entirely with the zero-turn guide.

Where This Fits

All of these run the same 56V ARC Lithium platform as EGO's blowers, pressure washer, and snow blower, which is the real argument for buying the mower with the bigger battery: it is the pack you will reach for all year. If you are deciding between EGO and the other battery platforms rather than between EGO models, the Ryobi guide and battery vs gas are the places to start.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the EGO LM2134SP-2 and LM2135SP?

Per the listings, the same 7.0 ft-lb Select Cut Touch Drive mower. The LM2135SP ships with one 7.5Ah battery (EGO rates it up to 60 minutes); the LM2134SP-2 ships with two 6.0Ah batteries (the listing rates it up to 100 minutes using both). EGO lists the LM2134SP-2 alongside the LM2135SP on the same product page.

LM2135SP vs LM2156SP - is the XP worth it?

You get Select Cut XP, 8.3 ft-lb instead of 7.0, and the 10Ah battery for 75 minutes instead of 60. For a large or thick lawn, yes. For a normal suburban lot, the LM2135SP does the job and the difference goes into your pocket.

LM2114SP vs LM2125SP - what does the extra money buy?

Touch Drive instead of standard self-propel, and a 7.5Ah battery instead of 6.0Ah, which takes EGO's runtime rating from 50 to 60 minutes. Torque is identical at 6.0 ft-lb.

Does Select Cut actually matter?

It is EGO's multi-blade stack with interchangeable lower blades for mulching, bagging, or extended runtime, and the models that have it are also the ones rated at higher torque. If your grass is regularly thick or tall when you cut it, it is the feature to pay for; if you mow a light lawn weekly, the single-blade models are fine.
