[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Self control speedbfrom rabbit to turtle. Easy to sweep the blade area. Accessorues are simple to install and remive. Batteries charge within 1 hour. Only vice is it is very difficult to remove the batteries. The holding pins are very hard to get them to release.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 80v has enough power if you regularly mow. However, if the grass gets too tall, it will bog down.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this 21” self propelled mower on 11-28-25 was easy to put together and the 80v battery charged in 30 minutes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this lawnmower on Black Friday and got a really good deal. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet as I live in the northeast and it’s a very cold.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like most of the features of this mower, but all batt powered mowers have a different "run" routine that you must get used to. Hold this lever, push this button, now go, etc. It runs quietly, like to turbo feature, don't appreciate the operation delays, however. Engage the drive wheels and a delay. Want to back up a bit, release the "go lever" and the wheels remain locked up until you manually push it forward a few inches, then pull back. Learning curve from gas, esp. if you are used to nicer Honda's. Ryobi may not have the same build quality and 40v is pushing it for a lawn mower, but I liked the single lever to activate folding the handle. This one not only requires you to simultaneaously pull (slide) 2 tabs (at the lower ends of both bars) at the same time, hold them, and then somehow push the handle up with your knees of belly. And the 2 piece (3 piece) handle is not solidly connected, so if you don't pull/push to the 2 bars simultaneiously you can twist the top (3rd) portion of the handle and possibly damage it. I was surprised because the lower portion of the handle consist of 2 rather sturdy metal bars. But they depend on the lower latch portion to stay paralel, not the top piece. And on mine the buttons that lock it into place are spring loaded, and one side would always get stuck, and would require a tap with a rock or hammer to release after 10 minutes of mowing, although that eventually resolved itself after about 25 to 30 hours of use. Tight tolerances I suppose. Another I don't like but which is common on these electric mowers is uniform height adjustment. One lever to raise all wheels seem convenient, but sometimes you need one side higher that the other, like along a sidewalk or curb. How about 1 lever for each side? But I appreciate not having to move all four wheels individually!
