I live in central Florida and the only thing I've had to replace on my push mower, after 4 years, has been the throttle cable (because it rusted through) and the blade. It's nice having a mower you can just pour gas in and get to work. No waiting for a battery to charge or wondering if the battery has enough power to get the entire job done.
@@chrisfix thanks man! Appreciate it! Can’t wait for the adventures and expeditions we are going to do in the near future! Stoked for your next video also! 👏🤙
What height did you cut with each mower? The setting of the lever is probably not the same. It looks like you cut much lower using the gas mower than than you did with the battery machine. I own that same Ryobi and it is not as powerful as an equivalently priced gas mower (especially 190cc engine models). Also, was the blade sharp on the gas mower? But I agree with you that gas mowers are better for thick, or dense grass. Also if you fertilize and irrigate or live where the grass is frequently wet, you should stick to gas mowers. If you mow 2 or 3 times a week you might be able to get by with a battery mower. I have 4 battery mowers so far from Ryobi and Toro and none cut as good as my gas mowers (but I do like the quieter operation!)
I’ll be honest i set both of them to the middle height settings they had for the ryobi it was around 2.5” and for gas that was like 2”. During the test though i did realize i hadn’t checked they were matched. All good though i determined the same using it more offscreen before i shot the outcome. I would definitely agree that the quietness of the electric is so nice and how lightweight it is! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video! 👏🙌
You can forget using a battery lawn mower in less than idea conditions. it will bog down and drain the battery in short order. they are really only useful in perfect conditions where you are cutting short grass
Wrong. I’ve had a Kobalt battery powered mower for 5+ years, never had any problem with it. It mows anything, and I especially enjoy not having to schlep gasoline home from the gas station and then have to figure out how to store it safely. I store the batteries fully charged in the fall and come Spring I pop the battery in the mower, pull the safety bar and push a button, and start mowing. Nothing to it. Plus it is quiet.
or you just cut your grass once a week, and not scalp it everytime you cut. how about that? you know there is a 1/3 rule kinda thing when mowing right? you said your grass was like 4 inches, looked more like 5, and then cut it down to 2". i cut mine every week,, no problem with my Atlas 80V mower. 1 battery to trim, mow, and blow. i dont have a big yard, but looking at your's, doesnt seem that much more. i went electric bc of battery, so same can be used to mow, trim, edge, blow, with the Atlas lineup. plus, saves room to fold and stand up in shed. plus when i want to take off blade to sharpen or change, a lot easier to do, and dont have to worry about gas spilling out.
I mean I’m not disagreeing. I let my grass grow for purposes of the video and like i mentioned usually if i let it grow that much i would chop it down.The 40v Electric still struggles even when i cut it regularly with a freshly sharpened blade. In most of the time i cut it 2 times a week. Florida grass in my area is so damn thick mid summer. Maybe i need an upgrade for sure but it’s so much more expensive initially. That was my main point. I’m not hating on electric by any means was just giving my experience.
I have a 80 volt Ryobi electric zero turn 54 in with three brushless motors and it is excellent and I live in Florida and have very very thick St Augustine grass; this Ryobi looked pretty weak I had an Ego push mower a while back and it seemed quite a bit stronger than the Ryobi here
Wow thanks for the info!! I am going to have to look into that! I have seen the Ego’s and have just heard mixed reviews. Maybe i will stick in the electric lane but need to find a better one. After cutting with my neighbors gas one though it definitely made me question which one i find better overall.
I will personally stick with gas My experience with electric has been bad My house almost burnt down due to my cordless drill set that is made by a reputable company Hilti and all of that ego stuff is nothing but cheap plastic junk no professional landscaping company would be using that crap
Valid points! It definitely can be frustrating charging the batteries for sure. Especially when i forget to put them on the charger. Adding gas is much easier. Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback! 🙌

Nice comparison. Cant believe how quiet the electric is!

Thanks for the information. Have been debating getting an electric mower.
Awesome glad I could give you some input! Thanks for watching! 👏🙌
Great video. Thank you for the real truth.
@@johndenver8574 No problem i know i appreciate when other people give me their honest perspective. Thanks for watching!
Nice video dude!
