It takes a little time to get used to. I am trying to figure out the best speed for me. I understand that the green handles are supposed to start it while the pulled back handle makes it move forward but when I use it is the other way around. I have used it 3 times and I am adapting to it. I am 72 years old and I wanted something easy for me to use. My lawn looks fine

Nice and quiet mower. No hassle with gasoline spill. Easy to start. I like the self propelling option.Battery doesn’t last that long, about 25 minutes of running time.

Bought sept, 2020. You get a hour on a 6amp battery. Batteries are very costly. If you don’t like mixing gas this will work.

Easy and smooth to cut the lawn. Light weight, easy to clean and compact plus takes almost no space to store since there’s no gas or oil it stands on end.

Bought this mower this week because I didn’t want to store fuel and wanted a do not have a large area to cut. Mower was easy to set up and controls are clear and esy to learn. Speed adjustment is up front and consise. My lawn was rather tall and the Ryobi handled it with no problems encountered.

At 85 years old, this mower serves my purpose extremely well. We have 2/3 of an acre with some slopes to mow, and the Self-Propelled feature allows me to do it [I have a medical 20 pound lifting weight limit]. I take 2 days to mow – day1, mow half, recharge overnight, day 2, finish. Each half takes ~3/4 of the battery charge.

The lawn mower doesn’t always start without fiddling with various parts. Once it starts it works well.

This mower really moves! Easy to operate and does the job quickly! Glad I made this purchase. It really lives up to the Ryobi brand expectations.

I have a medium sized yard and this mower handles it without recharge. Lightweight and easy to handle this mower eliminates the need for messy combustion engine gas and oil and the headache they come with.

I just bought this mower, so far I like the battery life and quiet operation.

Ordered thru Home Depot & received in a very timely manner. Instructions for assembling were straight forward & fine. First use was very disappointing. Didn’t cut the grass in a straight level; evidently wasn’t set right at the factory. Attempts to contact Ryobi both by internet & by phone were disappointing & unsatisfactory. However, Home Depot was very helpful by replacing the bad unit with a good unit. Everything works well except it doesn’t pick up leaves very well. Had to use my old gasoline driven mower to effectrively pick up the leaves. I have a large yard & the battery is very strong & was able to finish the whole yard in just a little over and hour & the battery was still strong & working very well.

I had a previous generation model and I liked it, but it has a few functionality quirks. You couldn’t fold the handles all the way if the mowing height was near the highest. You also couldn’t retrieve the batteries when the handles were folded. I don’t know if it was possible but I never could get the bag out between the handles, I always had to lift then transfer hands. ALL of those items have been improved in the current model. Additionally, if you mow with only one battery the position is farther back in the body so it is lighter to pivot. I had never had a particular problem with the disengaging of the drive system with the old mower but the new mower disconnects more cleanly (read:will roll backwards quicker) than the previous model and I like it. Great upgrades, Ryobi!

I cannot say anything bad about this purchase. My rechargeable weed trimmer is louder than this mower. With no fumes or vibrations. Very light weight. My yard takes about an hour to mow and the battery makes it , without using self propel. Plus it looks really cool.

It runs great and it doesn’t require gas, glad i made the purchase
