                  Best Push Lawn Mower Ever!
                  I absolutely love this lawn mower. It is lightweight, quiet, simple to use, and cuts the grass easily. I bought this mower in the spring after my gas lawn mower died. Some of the grass had grown to between 6"-8" in places and the new mower cut the long grass easily. You can hear the motor rev a little higher when cutting the long grass then it quiets afterwards. I love how lightweight it is. I'm a female senior citizen and this lawnmower is easy to operate and easy to handle. You pop in the battery, push the start button and off you mow! It also folds for easy storage and I can pop it it up on a storage shelf in my garage. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm so glad that I no longer have to deal with with gas, oil, spark plugs, a pull cord start etc all the hassles of using a gas lawn mower. An electric mower with a rechargeable battery pack is the way to go!. The Ryobi rechargeable battery has a 3-year warranty and I can mow my front and back lawns on 1/4 charge. Happy sailing for at least the next 3 years! I bought this mower on sale so it was a very good deal. Perhaps I might consider a self-propelling Ryobi mower in the distant future.

                    A game-changer compared to gas mowers. Convenient, eco-friendly, and powerful enough for my entire lawn.

                    Significantly Reduced Family Lawn-Care Arguments
                    Our son is responsible for mowing the lawn, and our previous 17" corded electric mower required three daisy-chained extension cords. I was sure he would eventually run over a cord. He never did, but the next source of tension was the trail of grass clippings leading to the garage and the tangled mess of cords in the garage. I'd had enough. I skipped the usual family discussion, did some research, and came home with this Ryobi 40V 20" push mower. There were a few tense moments after it arrived, but after one mowing session, my husband, my son, and I were all in complete agreement that this was an outstanding upgrade. Performance: This cordless mower cuts the mowing time in half. That is partially due to not having to contend with the cord while mowing, but there is minimal setup. The push-button start means he's off and mowing within seconds. Also, it is surprisingly easier to maneuver than our smaller and lighter electric mower. Afterwards, the battery typically shows 3 of 4 bars remaining on the 40V battery included, so our son could probably do a couple of neighbours' yards too! Unlikely, but theoretically possible. Best Feature: Vertical storage. It takes up very little space in this position, and it is light enough for most people to lift. While storing it vertically isn't required, I kind-of told my son that it was. To store it that way, the grass bag has to be removed and emptied, and once the mower is upright, it's easy to remove any clumps of wet grass from underneath the deck. Vertical positioning improves cleanup and reduces maintenance issues. Thanks, Ryobi. This mower put an end to the extension cord tangles, grass-clipping messes, and lawn-mowing arguments in our household.

                            Good Mower, but plastic safety parts are an Achilles Heel
                            I've had this mower for almost a year. I don't have a lawn, but use it from may to June to mow seasonal grasses on about 1/3 acre. I like to mulch the dry grasses and it does a good job. The problem is two plastic parts have broken. 1. The rear rock guard is held on by a retaining rod through 1/4" soft plastic that broke after one season of use. 2. First day of use this year, the side chute spring loaded cover was broken through and into two pieces by a rock. There is a lot to like with this mower but I feel corners were cut on safety. Photos show the broken side chute and my fix for the rear rock guard using metal strapping.

                              Broken mower
                              I bought this mower in 2022 in 2025. It died. I think the motor burned out I should’ve bought a gas mower. I don’t know what to do now I have this mower sitting here in my garage worthless and the battery is still good. I have nothing that it fits. I’m afraid to buy a new one because of this problem.

                                Works great but wiring tastes too good
                                I bought this product at the end of last summer. Only used it a few times before fall arrived and my lawn went dormant. I stored it over winter in a lean-to protected from wind and weather with the battery removed and kept in the house. When I went to use it just now, the mower would not start. After trying a couple of batteries and checking the usual (key, switches, etc) I opened up the cover (just popped a couple of plastic wedges holding things together) and found small rodents had made a nice home inside during the winter and chewed all the wiring. I basically now have a virtually new shell with no working electronics. One would think Ryobi would seal the inside where the wiring is located against rodent intrusion; can't be that hard, but clearly they didn't. And I have found nothing on the internet like "replacement wiring harness for Ryobi" so I'm basically stuck. No, they didn't chew just one wire; they got all of them right down to the edge of the controller board. Good mower the little I got to use it. But you MUST store it securely indoors away from rodents if you want it to last. Ryobi, please consider sealing the motor compartment a little more effectively please!
