I bought a non-self propelled 1.5 years ago and now 2-3 times per week. I’ve had no issues. The first few mows I question my purchase, but after that I was use to it. The mower is so light, much cheaper, I get more exercise and won’t have any self-propelled issues.

thank you!

Good news is that it is only a mower you are talking about. Research the problems that people are having with electric cars.

I have a new Toro battery mower, it sucks, drive wheel falls off in 2nd hour, battery shorts, and on-line Toro will not take it back. They do not take items back if you use it for 1 minute! Their rear left geared wheel unbolts itself from the bracket, it self destructs! Two others have the same problem. Their repair dealer literally told me "with Toro, its Buyer Beware". I have a Toro case number, a BBB case number, and a US Consumer Product Safety Commission case number. Save yourself and learn from my mistake, and stay away from Toro.

I bought the same mower. After 3 months the motor shuts off every time I engage the self-propelled function. $700 for a piece of junk.

Don't buy anything ryobi!

Do you know if these can be put onto the 18v Ryobi string trimmer?

Mine makes a grounding sound and not self propelled anymore

Mine has a fully charged battery and won't start. Will not buy electric again. The technology is not there yet.

Twice a week mowing. You must be bored. I always ask people who mow their grass with gasoline I tease them to say if your willing to burn that much money on gas then throw me a few bucks so I can drive my vehicle. It’s a shame though that forking out that much money that they would have a device that prematurely breaks down. Just like all the tech companies trying to have planned adolescence

Don't buy any 40 volt product from Ryobi. Their batteries are bad. You will be lucky if you reach 100 charge/discharge cycle.

After three years, the only problem I had was the battery was getting very difficult to take out. Also, it needed some lube as it was squeaking a lot. I lubed up the battery, and so it is able to be removed.

The plug on mine came off the motor controller.

I've had mine for a couple of weeks, it seems to stall for no reason too. My biggest issue with this mower is the weight of it , it's just heavy.

My unit is junk. A little over a year after purchasing it the blade stopped turning. The nearest authorized repair center is 26 miles away and took 30 days to fix the problem. Approximately 5 weeks later the part gave out again so I brought it back to the same repair shop where I waited 2 more months before being able to pick it up again, the whole time getting different excuses from them and Ryobi during every conversation. This will be the last Ryobi big ticket item I'll purchase again. That's sad for me to say because I own a lot of their electric drills and garden equipment and have been happy with the performance of most of them.

Do 3:35 this mower. Mine, had it less than 3 years, I used it for only 20 minute uses at most each time. Last use it went down in flames. I saw smoke then flames. The fire started in its circuit board and wiring and not at the battery. Thesse Ryobi battery mowes are a danger and should be recalled.

Thanks for the heads up. I have two Ryobi push. They work find, however they both have wobble wheels.

Hi. Any idea if this will work on the Ryobi curved shaft gas trimmer? Thx.

you can push it around like a non-propelled electric mower if the propel motor dies. That way you will not be without a mower for 6 to 8 weeks while the repair shop waits for the WARRANTED motor replacement to arrive. I bet they will let you install it if time is an issue.

Toro has a better design wherein it uses a traditional gear-driven transmission powered by the main motor.

Well DANG! I need a SP mower. I am a Makita guy but their better mowers, in addition to being more $$, lack folding handles and my storage shed is at over capacity. So I had decided on the Ryobi. Now I find this video. 😢Sours me completely on the Ryobi.

Mine lasted less than a year. Just dropped it off at the shop. Get a Honda, wish I had not sold mine.

Tks for the heads up, I was considering one since I have the ryobi 40 vdc batteries for their other products. Guess my 20 year old Honda will have to hang in for another couple years. Tks again.

Thanks for the vid. Do you know what the 15mm nut torque setting is (if using a torque wrench)?

Sounds like it’s time for a Class Action Lawsuit!

I have the same piece of garbage mower.

these ryobis are light and easy to manipulate. I cannot fathom why anyone would need a self-propelled ryobi. i have the push 20" ryobi and it has been flawless for over a year, i bought it for the noise reduction but it is superior in almost all other ways to my old gas mower. looks like this guy's blade needs sharpened. sharpening properrly really extends battery performance.

It has a 5 year warranty, why buy a new motor?

Nice find in the product details. Odd motor choice when they offer a 5 year warrantee.

I have a 20inch brushless self propelled model and I honestly only use the self propelled button when in a tough spot. I only used it when going up a slope, which is like 10% of my yard. Most of it is flat terrain. It’s close to 5 years now so when it does go out, it’ll be past the 5 year warranty.

Thank you. I wanted the self propel BEFORE watching this video. Aint nobody got time 4 problems like this 😂

I’ll stick with my EGO. This is my 3rd season and no problems so far.

Mine quit working after not even a year. The lights and power drive works but no blade motor. Buyer beware! 73

I purchased this exact mower around the same time frame… my transmission just went out 2 weeks ago while mowing…

Do not buy this mower. It's trash and will stop working!

I bought one yesterday hopefully it will last but the first thing that I noticed that this motor have absolutely no covering plate and have no protection from dirt and dust... I'm looking to manufacturing a metal plate and cover all this

DO NOT buy this mower. Mine has been used about 5 times & now it won’t start. I’ll NEVER buy anything Ryobi again.

good to know, i should get about 5 years out of mine.

The problem you are having is not a burned-out drive motor, but a broken microswitch mount. You should hear a click when you pull the green handle back and you don't because it is not making contact with the microswitch in the handle assembly. Fixing this is relatively easy and explained in my video: ua-cam.com/video/QikKLLAKkbw/v-deo.html

This same issue happened to me. I took the “transmission” apart and the bearing that the motor shaft runs through was seized. I popped it back into position and started mowing again. On the last line it seized again. Since it’s mowing season I can’t drop my mower off anywhere so I just bought the $95 part. Next time no self-propelled or go with a different brand all together.

Can you 'free wheel' these mowers or are you forced to use the self propelled lever?

DO NOT BUY THIS MOWER!!! Mine quit during its first season. The self-propel motor still worked but the blades stopped spinning. I brought it back to Home Depot for a warranty repair and when I got it back 6 months later, it STILL DIDN'T WORK. That's when I found out that Home Depot stopped handling repairs for Ryobi. I was told I would need to MAIL THE MOWER (at my expense) to Ryobi for a warranty repair. Thankfully, Home Depot took care of me and allowed me to return it. Now I'm using a gas powered Honda.

Is it pure sine wave?

200 hours can cut 400 times if per cut uses 30min, i save $20000 already instead paying somebody to cut for me when it dies at 200 hour LOL

Iv been a big ryobi fan for years when it comes to home owner grade tools. I finally got my, widowed, mother into the battery yard tool club. I do offer to work on her yard for her but she likes to do it herself. She purchased the mower, string trimmer, blower, extended hedge trimmer and has been loving them. Recently the self propelled went out in that same mower and I told her we need to bring it to the local ryob repair center for a warranty claim. For whatever reason they went after the motor head to attempt to take it apart. They said they tried with all their might but couldn’t get the bolts from the blade motor to budge, indicating that the mower had too much water intrusion thus warranty claim denied. These bolts secure the motor head to the plastic deck and are inches away from the blades chopping wet grass with no cover to prevent it from being in the elements. I was shocked and I felt bad because I talked her into buying this stuff thinking that ryobi had a pretty stellar warranty policy. I figured since there’s no warranty I decided to try my hand at it. I stuck my impact driver, at low setting, on the bolts that were claimed to be rusted and froze and with about 10-20 secs of impacting the bolts spun right out with zero rust on the threads. Though there was lock tight on the very end. I stopped there today to send ryobi pictures of the set of bolts with no rust on the threads to see what they have to say.

Please give price also.
