This is one of the better reviews. You actually have real Grass and everyone else reviewing this has yards full of weeds which doesn’t help because your Lawn looks full just like mine. Kudo’s 👍🏽
Lmao I did record using an older version of the 40 volt self propelled one for my buddy and my back yard was weed infested like 4’ tall weeks it took 3 5ah batteries and prolly dulled my blade but it cut down for real 4 foot tall weeds’ I’d anyones on the fence some ryobi tools are sketch but the mowers are legit! Get the self propelled I promise you’ll never go back to a “push one” Serious note though I have tried everything n the world to kill those weeds’ fire vinegar salt $50 a bottle chemicals took 4 bottles to do front and back yard Tried the weed preen I even did tilling the soil and had a skid steer come harley rake those bastards grow back bigger and thicker year after year’ Guessing when house was built soil was shit on year 4 now I’ve given up and accepted I have weeds and only weeds’ 🤣😂 I’ve searched videos for 2 years followed the apply stuff in fall if anyone has any tips at this point I’m all ears When I say I tried everything jesus I mean I have tried EVERYTHING! They won’t die!
I just got one of these last night, got to first try it out today. The side of the deck is rock solid with reinforcement, no way tree's going to make that thing budge if it hits it. And the self-propelled mechanism goes as soon as I hit them thumb paddles. Maybe they've updated it since. Things awesome I love it.
I have the single blade version and love it. Run time is great. Cuts very well. I’ve never had an issue with the deck flexing. It’s a reinforced deck that’s double walled on the sides. Very sturdy.
Correction: there is no safety shut off when you lift the front wheels. My hands were just releasing from the grip enough to turn off the blades. I am happy to say I’m still mowing with it and no issues yet!
I have this mower but have never used it because I'm an indoor paint kind a gal so my son normally cuts the lawn BUT today is the day that I start. Thanks for the share and the review it helped me out a lot as I've never mowed a lawn a day in my life 🤣🌱
I'll probably be picking this one up today. Solid review man. The front wheel lift safety shut off seems like it might be annoying...but I'm sure it's easy enough to disable/bypass. I imagine it's just a simple switch somewhere in the mechanism that opens the circuit when there's no pressure on the front wheels. If so, a paperclip jumper or bit of speaker wire should do the trick. (* I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE READING SHOULD DO THIS THEMSELVES, ONLY THAT I MAY PERSONALLY TRY* )
Considering how thick your lawn is and the amount of yardage,that mower did well.The charger would be better served with simultaneous dual charging ports,but you can’t have everything.But that safety feature that turns the blades off every time you lifted the front off the ground would be annoying.Good review.
Great review. I’m trying to decide between the Ryobi & Ego. Right now I’m leaning more towards the Ryobi - mostly because of the batteries. Home Depot always has them in stock, where as there’s barley any Egos in stock in my whole city. From what I read from other reviews eventually the batteries will get you down the road & it sounds like Home Depot stands behind their batteries & swap-out is pretty seamless.
Great review. I like how you mentioned the deck is a bit flexible and the lag time for the self propelled paddle. I haven't heard anyone else's review mention the safety shut off when lifting the front wheels, I think we all do this growing up using gas mowers. The safety shut off and deck flex could be deal breakers for me, I'm ready to buy a new mower but might stick with gas for now.
@@xsixinfantryx I opted to try the Ryobi cross cut mower, wise decision. I've used it now about 5 times and I can honestly say it was well worth the price. Battery life is a non issue, pretty quiet and I finally have a mower that throws all the clippings in the bag until it's full! With some of my past Craftsman mowers, I was lucky if I got half a bag before all the clippings would be left on my sidewalk and driveway.
@@mr.breadNwater yeah I just got this one the other day. The weather hasn't been great though so I haven't really gotten to use it. I did take a couple strips in the front yard with it though just out of excitement lol (I must be getting old). And it seems like mine as soon as I push on the paddles it goes. And I checked out the deck and it seems reinforced under there I mean it's solid as a rock I can't see a tree budging that (like he was saying in his review). But yeah I'm looking forward to actually being able to cut my grass with it once this weather breaks it's less than 40° out right now. I have a feeling I'll love it. My first mower 😆
@@xsixinfantryx l bought one a couple of weeks ago.l've used it 3 times,so far, Love it.For me the results of Grass 👀 Great.Dont have to worry anyone about getting it done ✅.Nice, no gas ⛽ or oil is a plus and home use.
@@marilynheard5811 yeah I'm really loving it too. If I cut the grass when it's short enough I can almost do everything on one battery. Almost. Its great. Everything about it. Wouldn't change a thing. Except the price maybe lol 😆
I've watched several reviews on Ryobi mowers and I noticed that no one talks about how the mower mulches. most cover bagging and side discharge, but the only reviewer I saw who covered mulching didn't show it mulching just mentioned it doesn't do a great job of mulching. I only bag in the fall when the leafs are falling so something that can't do a good job mulching isn't going to work for me.
Need an update on the mulching capabilities, preferably after the grass is a touch overgrown! I when I let my grass get a little long, bagging helps reduce the load on the mower (but I'd prefer to mulch).
If I had a beautiful lawn like you, and from the looks of it, cut it often like you probably do, yep....I'd go for it....but since I don't, mine is all thick weeds 1 to 2 feet high because I don't like to mow, too hot, too humid, and in summer grows like crazy here in Florida, sometimes wet too. I'll stick with my gas mower.
Time sure is crazy. My father mowed with a human powered mower! The old spinning barrel type of blade. I used a gas mower. My son uses a battery mower. So what's on deck for his son's?
I bought the same unit late in the Fall and only got to use it once, but loved using it, especially with how quiet it is. Ironically, it replaced my Craftsman which looks identical to the one you have, LOL. I am actually looking forward to cutting the grass in the Spring...how wrong is that?!?
It takes me two 7.5 amp batteries to mow my 1/4 acre yard with the self propelled mode on. My first generation Ryobi that gave up after 7 years with no self propelled took one 4 amp battery.
I mow for a living, that mower is beast mode and gets the job done. Please tell me you discharged the battery before you charged them? They will last TONS longer once you've done that and of course it will take a few mows to get maximum strength of the Li-on batteries. Also that plastic is actually very strong and if you look at the bottom it's cross reinforced. I've ran into bricks, fallen tree branches and cement, that sucker will hold no problem. Hitting a tree(for whatever reason you would) wouldn't hurt it. I personally like the non self-propelled as it makes no difference to me but yea you a tad picky lol I'm playin... Overall man yea this beat mode mulches better than the toro big boy commercial mowers. It's living up to it's name. I'm sure you've got an updated video on it or something but man I love mine. I can run with it on high grass and it simply cuts like it was never there. How has it been working for you since 21'?
So far I’ve only used it once. I think we have the exact same model. My yard is also fairly small so very capable for my needs. The plus for me is no more gas or changing spark plugs or dirty carburetor. I don’t think this even has a filter you need to change. My only complaint so far (again I’ve only used once) is that your hands get tired holding the lever to keep the dang thing going. I wish they would have provided some kind of latch for people who are not stupid enough to put there hands in to the spinning blades. Call it the smart version and stupid versions. Lol 😂
This is not a push mower but self propelled one.. they do make a cross cut that is a push only more has no self-propelled feature trying to find a video for that one wasted my time looking at this one
Why isn't the batteries design like Tesla EV, instead of tiny plug in batteries pack, they should have a build in set with enough capacity to run 1 hr with self propel enable and about 1500 charge cycle! the technology certain is there and just need a different design philosophy
I’d be reluctant to put my hands anywhere near the blades with the batteries in.... in fact I wouldn’t touch anything under the mower without gloves and protective eyewear. Not trying to be a osha prick however accidents happen innocently quick.
At 9:30 you say you have mow 30 min and still have 3 out of 4 bars left???!!! I call that total BS!!! You be lucky to have 30min run time with this mower blade running and self propel! 3 out of 4 bar left after 30 min? that's a JOKE
Excellent work otherwise - I just find the music use really boring. If you simply used the natural soundscapes of the shoots with time-compressed parts for the timelapses, it would stand out among all the "let's review gardening machines" videos out there. I would say use much less music.

For me it wasn’t worth an extra $100

I like the mulching feature! Especially when running over leaves,

Let me know what you'd like to see and I can make another video on the mower!
Your review changed my mind on this mower, im stuck between this and the honda hrn216
I’ve got one too. The lag time is super annoying. Otherwise I really like it.

Did you ever find out how to fix the safety issue that makes it shut off
It takes me two 7.5 amp batteries to mow my 1/4 acre yard with the self propelled mode on. My first generation Ryobi that gave up after 7 years with no self propelled took one 4 amp battery.

how do you discharge the battery?
What do you mean by discharging the battery? Not switching it out until the one battery runs out?
I love the video man!! Thanks for making this it was very informative! I think I’ll go with dewalt instead! Thanks again!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the review. After hearing you critique it. I thought you were going to give it a 7/10 max.
Thanks for this.
Great review
Thanks
😊
thanks for the vid. does it have a 2 1/2 in. height setting?
Great video! Interesting mower.
Thanks for watching!
I never understood why they put head lights on mowers. Not like you'll be mowing at night, lol
9 months, are you still happy with it?

is the speed paddle variable? like you push it a little and it goes slower?
I’ve been using one for two years. It cuts grass OK.
Do you know anything about blade replacement for the single blade ?
Liked to hear more about blade hitting deck. Because that ain’t good!
Well don't hit trees then! Lol
I think Ryobi is way ahead of the game as owner is Dewalt 😂
You got a great voice... you could be an announcer... $$$$
Thanks! Never heard that one before
Mow! High and mulch!! It’s free fertilizer!

Lol no stripes just wheel lines. Get a striped kit in the back and see the difference
