EGO Power+CHV1600 Z6 Zero Turn Riding Mower Charger, Gray

I can't really review these blades because I haven't used them yet and doubt I do for a couple of months. However, they appear to be identical to the blades that came with my EGO E6 battery-powered mower, which does a fantastic job mowing, so I'm going out on a limb to suggest these blades (OEM) will provide the same level of service. As for the mower itself, if you don't already have one, get one! It costs me 30¢ to mow my .56 acre lawn, and there's no noisy, exhaust spewing internal combustion engine, no gasoline, no oil changes, et… So yeah, I'm perfectly happy to have a need for these blades!

The bumper itself seems beefy enough. But it attaches with 2 bolts to the frame and another to the existing hitch. The distance between frame bolts is very narrow. As an engineer, I believe the frame bolts aren’t sufficient to prevent damage if the bumper is hit from anywhere but from the direct rear. Any off angle contact would likely be … problematic.

Love EGO and all their products but I feel like what they charge for accessories is a little over the top considering what you pay for the mowers

I prefer to mulch instead of side discharge and this is exactly what I needed

This cover fits over the mower extremely well, and is very heavy duty! The storage bag is nice to keep it when you aren't using the cover!

Seems well made. Does the job

While this probably should have been included with the mower, it's just another example of companies looking for ways to ease the sticker shock of their products by trying to keep costs down. It's essential though, not unreasonably priced, and works perfectly.

Basically, what the mulch plug does is it covers up the chute where the cut grass, or leaves, would get thrown out of. This causes the cut material to get cut again by the mower blades, thus mulching.I used this with the EGO ZTM mower. The mulch plug is easy enough to put on, or take off, in a couple of minutes.Moved from CA to TN in 2021. I have a 1-acre yard. In 2021 when all of the leaves fell, I figured I should bag them up. That took a large number of bags, was a lot of work, and was basically a dumb idea.In 2022 I decided to mow over the leaves using the mulch plug. In fairness to me, I couldn't find the EGO mulch plug in 2021. Mowing over the leaves works even better than I thought it would as it really chops them up into very small pieces.The only real negative is when you contain what is being mowed inside the blade area it sends up a lot of dust in the air. I make sure to wear goggles, a hood or hat, and some type of mask so I'm not breathing in the dust.I would also suggest mowing over the leaves when they first drop so that you don't end up with massive piles that you can't get the mower to go over. With large piles the leaves would just be pushed around. In that case, I raised up the blade and went over them a few times and then lowered the blade back down and went over them again.The concept of the mulch plug is simple, but it works and at least for me was much better than trying to bag leaves.
