Like I said in another comment, perhaps some of the more recent models of ego mowers have better power but my model from 3 years ago is no where the quality of a cut that a cheap gas mower would provide. I still love my ego mower though.
1) You have to buy special blades because of weight.
2) The lift on these blades are not as great, you can definitely bag but its maybe 50% the lift a gas mower can provide.
3) This also impacts things like mulching where your not getting enough lift to chop up the grass enough.
4) It can bog down a lot quicker than a gas mower.
Still love my mower but at least the prior generation was under powered in the motor department.
