Well I cant disagree that Makita isnt the best power tool maker out there and at the same time I expect a lot from EGO being they produce a lot of outdoor equipment including the new Lithium ride on mower.Concerns over battery life and large battery packs with unknown replacement terms and conditions on Ego and other mowers led us to a Makita. Same 18v Li-Ion as my drills, reciprocating saws, multi tools, impact wrenches, impact drivers, blowers, jig saw, string trimmer, hedge trimmer (a new one, and love it). I'm all in on the 18v Makita system. I've got about 18 batteries, several chargers. The batteries aren't cheap, but they're completely interchangeable and replaceable. I won't be sending the mower (or any of the other tools) in for a new battery. My 40+ year old Makita drill still works great, by the way. They build excellent tools.
Producers of every conceivable outdoor landscape tool I suspect their battery technology is top notch.
Time will tell!
