Brought this after my 18v Ryobi wasn't gutsy enough to cut a large patch of thick Buffalo Grass. A couple of hundred bucks more than I wanted to spend, but I'm glad I spent the extra. A lot bigger, heavier & gruntier & noiser than the 18V, but cuts the Buffalo grass with ease. (It's still bloody quiet compared to a petrol mower, & there is no need for earplugs.) I love the "Smart" mode - it works really well & was worth the extra for this feature alone. I haven't needed a 2nd 36V battery for that extra "boost", but it nice to know I've got that option if I need it. To summarise - yeah, its not cheap, but it is a bloody good mower & I'm really pleased with it.
The first one was returned with an intermittent high load warning after the first use just mowing the footpath, easy job, clean short buffalo. I returned it to Bunnings and they exchanged it for a new one. I brought the new one home, assembled it and charged the battery as directed. Put the brand new charged battery from the brand new charger into the brand new mower and tried it in my garage. Guess what? High Load warning and it wouldn’t work at all. I hasn’t been used at all!!! What next? I don’t want to keep driving backwards and forwards to Bunnings and assembling mowers for the foreseeable until I luck on one that works!!!
FYI, I contacted Ryobi who advised that I could order it via the special orders desk which I successfully did yesterday, Ryobi said about a week or two and it should arrive for me. No mention of when they will actually be ranged in store

I have just bought the 6amp mower and am wondering if the battery can be used in a whipper snipper?
Thanks

@@peace-lm8nl can you do a review?
Aren't these meant to be quiet? Why'd he have earplugs in at the beginning?
I have one - Its way quieter than a petrol mower & there is no need for earplugs.
He had to wear ear plugs for procection against his strong manly voice.
Great lawn mower!
Love the design and technology.
