If there’s one cordless range that’s properly shaken up the garden machinery world in recent years, it’s EGO Power+. Their 56V ARC Lithium platform has gone from “interesting alternative” to “serious petrol rival”, and at WGMLtd, a few standout models are flying off the shelves right now.

So here it is: our EGO 56V Machines of the Moment. The tools customers are actually choosing. The ones that deliver. And the ones that make you wonder why you ever bothered mixing two-stroke.

 

🌱 The Everyday Hero: EGO LM1701E Lawn Mower

If your garden is typical UK size, front lawn, back lawn, bit of edging; the LM1701E is absolutely in the sweet spot.

This is a 42cm (16.5") push mower powered by EGO’s 56V ARC Lithium battery system. The standard kit version includes a 2.5Ah battery and charger, and it’s rated for lawns up to around 400m² on a single charge (conditions dependent, of course).

Why it’s a favourite right now:

• 42cm cutting width - ideal for small to medium gardens
• 7 cutting heights (20-80mm) via a single lever
• Large 55-litre grass collection bag
• Mulch and rear discharge options
• Lightweight poly deck that won’t rust
• Brushless motor for efficiency and longevity

What customers love most? It just starts. No fuel. No choke. No pulling. Press the button and mow.

For homeowners moving away from petrol for the first time, this is often the gateway machine into the EGO platform.

 

🌳 The Surprise Performer: EGO CS1614E Chainsaw

Battery chainsaws used to raise eyebrows. Not anymore.

The CS1614E has become one of the most talked-about saws in the range - especially for property maintenance, firewood prep, and storm clear-up work.

Key features include:

• 40cm (16") bar and chain
• Tool-free chain tensioning
• Automatic chain lubrication
• Chain brake and kickback protection
• Brushless motor

Pair it with a 5.0Ah battery and you’re looking at serious cutting capability for domestic use - without the vibration, fumes, or constant carb adjustments.

For many customers, this is the machine that convinces them battery really can replace petrol in day-to-day use.

🍂 The Leaf Shifter: EGO LB6000E Blower

When autumn hits, this is the one everyone asks for.

The LB6000E is a backpack blower, which means the weight sits comfortably on your back instead of your arm - ideal for longer jobs.

What makes it stand out:

• Air volume up to 1020 m³/h on boost
• Variable speed control
• Ergonomic harness system
• Fully compatible with the EGO 56V battery range

It’s powerful enough for large lawns, car parks, and heavy leaf fall, but significantly quieter and cleaner than petrol equivalents.

If you’re clearing leaves for more than 10 minutes at a time, this design makes a real difference.

 

🔧 The All-Rounder EGO MHBC1204E Multi-Tool

If you want maximum flexibility from one powerhead, this is hard to beat.

The MHBC1204E kit includes:

• Line trimmer attachment
• Brush cutter blade attachment
• Hedge trimmer attachment
• Pole saw attachment (25cm bar)
• 5.0Ah battery
• Rapid charger

One motor. Four attachments. Endless seasonal jobs covered.

It’s ideal for customers who want to consolidate tools and keep everything on the same battery system. The pole saw alone is a game changer for safely trimming higher branches without dragging out ladders.

 

Why These Machines?

All four share the same backbone: EGO’s 56V ARC Lithium battery system. One battery fits them all. Step up to a 5Ah or 7.5Ah pack and your runtime increases across every tool you own.

That’s what makes the platform so compelling. You’re not buying isolated machines — you’re building a system.

At WGMLtd, we’re seeing more customers deliberately moving into a single battery ecosystem instead of mixing brands. Less clutter. Fewer chargers. Smarter investment.

 

Are They Worth It?

For most domestic users - and even many professional landscapers - the answer is increasingly yes.

You get:

• Instant starting
• Reduced maintenance
• Lower noise levels
• No petrol storage headaches
• Cross-compatible batteries

And crucially? Performance that genuinely competes.

If you’re looking at upgrading this season, these really are the EGO 56V machines of the moment - and it’s not hard to see why.  For more info on why the EGO Power+ range is worth it, click here.
