        Don’t buy
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this model for three years and had to replace five batteries, charging unit and deck blade modules. If you go to any incline you can tip backwards with the mower sitting in your lap. Otherwise a good mower!

          Don’t… just don’t.
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have ⅓ of an acre of grass to mow. I wanted something bigger than a 21” push mower. This 30” electric option seemed to be the logical choice. But I haven’t even gotten 80 hours of use in 4 seasons before it became a pile of very expensive scrap that has parts that will fail you almost immediately. Like that little LED light to signal charging? That went in the first year I had it, so I gauged whether it was charging or not by the clicking the charger box makes when you first plug it in, and how warm it gets when it’s working. Now, it doesn’t hold a charge. The newest problem is it turning off after 6’. I wanted to love this mower, and I have many other Ryobi hand tools… stick with the small stuff on this brand.

              Served me well
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had the RM300e for five years. It did a great job on my .75 acre property. Had to replace the drive motor after four years and installed new set of batteries after three years. It was a pain doing any kind of maintenance due to its design. Batteries should have been more accessible. But, all in all, mower served me well during the five years. When second set of butteries failed after only years, I decided to give the mower away and purchased the 30” ZTR.

                Great mower, TERRIBLE choice of batteries.
                Giving this great mower 1 star… only because of the batteries. The mower itself is a solid 5 stars, it’s an awesome little riding mower. I wish we could give negative stars, Ryobi’s choice of lead acid batteries was a ridiculous, unforgivable decision, they really should be sued. We squeezed a little less than 70 hours out of ours, batteries were shot. Started looking for a replacement and found Epoch Batteries. A bit pricey but turned this mower into what it should’ve been from the beginning. Plus it lost over 100lbs. with the conversion.

                  Decent mower with horrible batteries.
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower works great for the short life of its battery pack. Mine has less than 20 hours on it and has to be charged in between mowing the front and back of my small residential lot. This was a very poor purchase decision.

                    Ryobi48 30” Riding mower RY48130
                    Bought mind 4yrs 4months ago. Beautifully mow the lawn. The only problem everyone is having is the charger. So this year October bought a smart charger 36v and 48v it has almost the same plug in. So I swap out plugs. It works but will not have charge green light on while charging. So I put everything on to desulfate the batteries that I found out that you should do every two years.. When your blades stop you are at minimum battery life. You still have enough to make it to the charger. So after I have done this I charge the batteries all day and night until the next morning. Batteries were full charge. This is on a RYOBI 48 30” cutting mower. RY48130 , so agm batteries should last about 6 yrs , if not my go is for 10 years. Most manufacturers recondition batteries.

                      Never again!!!!! 1.4 hours of use, and DEAD!!!
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this mower for less than a year. It literally has 1.4 hours on it. No this is not a typo. It has been plugged in the whole time. I went to you it, and it beeped at me. I took it apart to find that all four batteries were bad, and three had split their casings. This is beyond poor craftsmanship from Ryobi. I will certainly never suggest these to anyone. Now I have a big waste of money, and unless I change it over to lithium it's complete garbage!!! Class action lawsuit?

                        The led acid batteries died after 22 hours or work
                        The led acid batteries died after 22 hours or work, the Ryobi doesn't take the responsibility, obviously they did know exactly that led acid batteries are not going to work for more than 2 years, and they adjust their warranty with that time, my machine was inside my garage, and I use it in one year just 22 hours and the batteries died, their recommendation is to buy from them the same batteries which does not make since

                          Useless 2 years later
                          Terrible unit. The sad thing is that Ryobi knew this was a bad unit and discontinued it for the battery reason but all of us are stuck with a useless brick now that you cannot get batteries for. My unit is less than 2 years old and is completely useless. Ryobi really needs to take some accountability for this. If any lawyers think a class action lawsuit is warranted you would have a HUGE backing of victims.
