Nice video! I have a 10 acre property, and I use a Cub Cadet XT1 lawn tractor for my grass area. However, I have a small gated pool area I can't fit my driving lawn tractor in. Therefore, I purchased the Ryobi lawn mower in this depicted video. I think the mower works like a charm. I like the light weight and easy storage too. Love the self propelled adjustable speed. And The Home Depot had it marked down $50 bucks.
I use a battery weed whacker. I don't know why I didn't sooner! It is nice to be rid of the problems those horrible little 2 stroke engines often have.
My son just got this for me on father's day lol as my Toro gas one carburetor went and I got it used. He has a zero turn one Ryobi that he loves. I noticed that I hear a squeak noise when I run it but I didn't notice that in your video. I used it with the mulch plug and the side discharge and my yard looks awesome. I have .44 acre but probably a third of grass.
Very nice your son got you a new cordless mower. I haven't noticed a squeaky nosie could be your wheels. And thank you sharing your experience with the new mower.
I got tired of pushing my Greenworks electric mower -getting too old.so Home Depot had the exact model self propelled mower you are showing here, and I was so glad to see a slow demonstration that I could listen to clearly and watch. I have the battery charging as I type this. I had a self propelled gas mower on the past but could not handle hurting my shoulder trying to get the mower to start. One thing I have a little difficulty with self propelled is my difficulty cutting the grass by borders (like the brick/stone kind) and circling around trees with self propelled because my natural tendency is to pull it backwards and forwards and to get into the cracks (Around large tree roots for example) so to speak. Not everything is straight lines, so I was hoping to see you cut around the large tree near the end of the video and along the stone garden border -particularly rounded ones. I have not used self propelled in so long, I believe there is no reverse so is the blade still spinning when they yellow (?) levers Are pressed? Can the lawnmower be pulled backwards and I wanted to say the young man go around a curve and so I could see how he transitioned from row to row.
When cutting the lawn by trees i usually go straight into the tree then turn right or left . We don't going around the tree like a circle. When cutting by the brick border cut about 2in in front of brick. And we use a cordless weed Wacker around the trees and borders. Hope this helps
@@OuzoLouGarage Thanks for reading and replying. We had rain and then tornado warnings around here so haven’t used the new lawn yet but should be interesting . A lot of times I would walk -like walking through a maze. Start on the outside and work my way around to the inside partly just to get a little variety . That’s why I wondered about circles particularly since somebody put black mulch In a large circle on the big tree in the front yard in front of the house. I finally got better with the weedeater but it’s just another tool to get out and fool with. You can probably tell I like being indoors more and just look at cutting grass as a form of exercise but I get too much for me being in my 60s now. Thanks for responding with tips
My boyfriend just bought me one because it's almost Foxtail season and I can't cut them with my reel mower. Thanks for the review. This is the last cutting I can mulch. With Foxtails so heavy I'll hve to bag for the rest of the season. My boyfriend bought me the chainsaw, too. I love mine. Had a rotted mailbox post and an unused fence post sticking out of the grounnd, so I chopped it down to use for the mailbox. Super easy. Mine is only 7 inch I think.
Sorry for dumb questions, but I bought another brand and had to return it. I'm 71, does the self propelled go slow enough for a guy that can't walk too fast? The one I got (Greenworks) was so fast on the slowest speed that I couldn't handle it. The other question, when I have to go to a tree or bush and release the self propelled part, it took 15 seconds for it to release so I can pull it backwards. It doesn't sound that long, but it felt like an eternity lol. I can understand 3 or 4 seconds for a clutch or something to release, but 15 seconds is painful ha ha. I called and they just said it was designed that way. This unit is at my Home Depot, but they won't let me try it with the battery in it. Thanks for a real nice video 👍👍👍👍
Have my own ryobi mower, older model though and while liked it was pain since sometimes i need 3-4 batteries to mow the lawn. But was good for me over the years, im hoping this model is better than last one i had as thinking getting a new ryobi. Got few spare batteries already but thinking buying spare battery for the mower
Pretty cool! Hart has come out with a battery powered mower I "kind of looked at". I am too old school for it,...but this video does show a good description/review of how good this Ryobi really is! Thanks for a great vid!
The hart mower is darn near identical to the ryobi. Both made by the same company. Only diff is the two batteries have different connections. That’s a way to screw the customers so you get hooked to one brand name.
love mine and will be purchasing a 2nd battery nice cut won't go back to my briggs and stratton for a while it will be my back up i call it my Lamborghini Lawnmower LOL
I wrote along, I hope you got it maybe -these just get edited Or reviewed before they show up, So I’m testing with this one because I don’t see the long commentary I wrote after watching your video
If you are a healthy adult get the push mower. It's even lighter than the self propelled version. It's at least $100 cheaper and the battery will last longer. Take that savings and buy a second battery.
I see my short commentary but not the long so to summarize I was hoping to see the young man using the mower around the big tree And long stone borders because not everything are straight lines, And it has been a long time and since I used a self propelled I was hoping to see you mention whether or not you can reverse and pull back on the more for tight areas. I will I’m not sure if you can move it back-and-forth with the blade spinning or if it only spins when you pull on the yellow things on the handle. I just got the more tonight so will learn more tomorrow but it has been a long time since I used a gas self propelled to Remember how to maneuver it in tight spaces like around tree roots. I was hoping to see that in your demonstration. This replaces my electric push mower which was getting hard for my aging self. I did not like the gas and my shoulder was hurting from pulling the cord even on me self-propelled gas mower that I had years ago
This mower with stay running blades also when you go backwards. Just lift front up a little and go backwards. We can make a video of all your questions this spring. Thanks for bringing up those points
You guys love ryobi lol, lawn mower is cool, but a nice tractor is way faster obviously, use milorganite fertilizer it’s organic and your lawn will be so much nicer. So aerate, over seed, use milorganite at the same time, wait for that grass to grow in, like 8 + weeks, then use bio advanced 5 in 1 weed killer, it’s a Blue bag. It smells, but it works great. Idk just sharing advice I’ve learned lol
Milorganite every 2.5-3 months. Trust me your lawn will be the nicest ever, if you want it dark green. Also use ferti lone chelated liquid iron. It will stripe like a baseball field dude
Did you guys have any trouble with the engine cutting off by chance and any fixes for it. I was going to mow the lawn and after turning it on it would run but when pushed foward it suddenly stopped.
@@streetlegalsprintcar Its nearly year late but wanted to say thanks, lol still have same lawn mower and love it much better than my last 2 ryobi mowers i owned.
The batteries don't last long. We have this mower, and it lasted two summers. We live in NH, and the limited warranty repairs we have to go to Weymouth mass!
Good video. Does yours have the torx screws back out on the handle mounting plate? Mine does that. They are just behind the rear wheels. Need to tighten them every other mow. Might use some epoxy to hold them in.
Great review, but dad talking over son triggered some hate response towards my own father where I kept yelling at dad to STFU and quit talking over him.
Does anyone know how this does on twigs and small branches. I was gonna buy an EGO like the 600 dollar one but my friend said he’d give me this Ryobi for free. I just need to get another battery and I’d be set. But I dont want one that doesn’t work when we got lots of trees.
Small twigs this model does ok. We recommend picking up the twigs as much as you can before mowing. Even before using my gas mower we pick up twigs as much as we can.
Electric are more expensive than gas mowers...I got one and the battery went bad so that means I got to spend at least from $179 to $250 to get another battery...almost 75 percent of the cost of a gas mower and with the cost of gas wich is 3.50 at the most per gallon you can mow a lot with a full tank of gas wich is not much...not to mention the cost of the electric mower that cost me over $400...;think about it...its a lot of difference...gas is cheaper to mow than electric in the short and long run...
I’ve been researching and thinking about this self-propelled mower vs the same 20in Ryobi but the push mower version and two things come to mind: Does the push mower last longer on a single charge since the battery is not having to supply power to the self-propelling function? And because the mower is so light compared to a gas mower, would the push mower be a big deal? My property is 0.4 acres and I’ll probably get an additional 40V battery with the weedwhacker anyways
I would think the push mower battery would last longer. With the push mower being light I think it may be a good choice for you with how much lawn you have to cut. When you go to Home Depot ask to see if you can push the floor model.
The cameraman's comments are unnecessary / distracting and he sometimes overlaps (steps on) the presenter's words. There should be only one (1) presenter.
@@OuzoLouGarage appreciated the additional comments in the video, especially when the dad asked his son to show rather than explain how the mower folds up without the bag in addition to the levers being pressed down. Both did a great job, but details matter.

Thanks Guys, going to buy one ! 👍
Thanks for watching
You guys are awesome 🎉
Very nice yard and appreciate the review on the mower. It helped my decision in getting one. I have alot of Ryobi tools but not a mower so thanks!
Let's us know how you like your new mower. Thank You for watching and commenting
I love this mower! And the kids and wife can actually start and use it! The trimmer is nice too!!
Always great when the kids can help
I bought one but self propelled which is how I roll 😂 I just walk behind and machine does all the work !
Same here.
Nice hope to see how it holds up I bought the 18v brushless and it works great but I use 2 batteries to finish the yard before putting it to charge
We are getting a second bettery I hope it holds up also. So far it works great. Have a great day David
That’s a nice looking mower. We have one of the first generations of Ryobi 40volt mowers and it still works great. Nice video brother
Good to hear your first generation 40V mower still working good. We really happy with the mower . Thanks Brother
this is dope...all electric is the future
This electric mower works great
I actually just bought this lawnmower; I was hoping your video, which is really good by the way, would show you assembling the lawnmower.
You take it out of the box, charge the batteries and go, easy Peasy
Was not much to put together. Are you liking the lawnmower?

Going have to try ferti lone. Thanks for the lawn tips
I just brought one but when I use the mulch plug the mower shuts off when I start to mow
I'll have to try using the mulch and see what happens.
It actually works now.. it was not inserted all the way. I use it and it’s works great.
Did you guys have any trouble with the engine cutting off by chance and any fixes for it. I was going to mow the lawn and after turning it on it would run but when pushed foward it suddenly stopped.
We haven't had that problem. Maybe check the shut off key

The batteries don't last long. We have this mower, and it lasted two summers. We live in NH, and the limited warranty repairs we have to go to Weymouth mass!

I looked after your comment and yes mine has the torx screws. Thinking loctite should work. Thanks
Pro tip. Put this under a lifted power wheels jeep. Content
That would be cool to do.
Gas price is really high???? for residential lawn mower use? 5 gallon a year?
Good point. 🤔
I use more than 5 gallons year. For us, it's cheaper to use the electric mower . Everyone lawn size is different use what wors for you.
This fell off my truck bed while driving door open and nothing broke and still works lol
Thats awesome nothing broke
how long can you go one charge with continuous mowing? ..45min and then it dies??
45 min to one hr.
Great review, but dad talking over son triggered some hate response towards my own father where I kept yelling at dad to STFU and quit talking over him.

How are you using it without the bag? It won’t turn on with mine out
