Save $1,500 off this EGO Power+ Riding Lawn Mower ahead of Memorial Day
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. It's been said that hardship, even in small doses, builds character. This is a common justification for the infliction of chore duty upon children by their parents. But you're an adult now, we'd hazard to guess. Haven't you built enough character over the years? Must you keep plowing on through your chores? There must be a point, certainly, when one's character has been shaped enough; haven't you mown enough lawns? Enter: the EGO Power+ Electric Riding Lawn Mower, available for a whopping $1,500 off ahead of Memorial Day weekend on Amazon. And sure, we'll grant you that even with the discount, the price tag is a little steep. But we'd argue that one lump sum to never have to pull you back ever again, slaving away over a push lawnmower, makes it all worth it. And how could you pass up this Memorial Day deal? Amazon The EGO POWER+ 42-Inch T6 Riding Lawn Tractor offers gas-equivalent performance with zero emissions. Powered by six 56V ARC Lithium batteries, it delivers up to 21 horsepower and covers up to 1.5 acres on a single charge. Features include dual brushless motors, a 12-position adjustable deck, and a customizable LCD display. Additional amenities like LED lights, USB charging, and a rear tow hitch enhance usability. Best of all? It's available for a whopping $1,500 off this week on Amazon. The EGO Power+ Electric Riding Lawn Mower outperforms push mowers with superior power, speed, and comfort. It covers more ground efficiently, reducing mowing time. With zero emissions, quiet operation, and battery-powered performance, it's eco-friendly and maintenance-free, and we'd argue, finally makes chores fun. This article was written by P.J.
