40V HP Brushless 21 in. Battery Walk Behind Push Lawn Mower with 7.5 Ah Battery and Rapid Charger

Not too heave, assembly was quick and easy and it was up and running within a couple of minutes.

I bought this today. I liked everything it had to offer and it was a big upgrade over my 4 year old Ryobi 40v most. Everything was great until I turned it on and it sounded like a blender. Turns out the blades are hitting both sides of the deck and gouged it up good. I removed them to make sure they were installed correctly and they seem to be on the only way they will fit. Guess they are sliding down the scale of quality lately

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have this huge back yard with wilderness exposure on the South side. I used to dread having to cut the grass with that old gas mower. With my old gas mower, my shoulders used to get so sore. My brand new Ryobi is the best mower we ever bought. It steers much easier than any gas mower I ever used and is also self-propelled. Now, I just push a button to start my Ryobi 40V. I easily lowered the grass cut level with the lever, then I custom fit the handle to perfectly match my height and reach. It has just as much power and the easy drop in rechargeable battery means I don't have to deal with expensive gas, oil, plugs, and all that time-wasting maintenance. Those frustrating hassles are history! Our grandchildren love to play in our back yard, this mower helped me to cut it with ease and enjoy cutting grass again. Thank You Ryobi!

I was impressed with the power and ease of use. It went through my thick st aug no problem. I have 1/3 an acre and it would almost make it through on one battery. After the third mow I was turning and heard a crack. The handle on one side broke completely through. I ended up returning the mower. Until they do better on the handle I won't be interested in having another one.

I have been a builder and remodeler for 51 years, and although mowing lawns is not part of my normal work description, I do need to mow my lawn. This RYOBI 21 IN. 40-VOLT HP LITHIUM-ION BRUSHLESS CORDLESS WALK BEHIND PUSH LAWN MOWER 7.5 AH BATTERY AND RAPID CHARGER INCLUDED is an awesome means of doing that while not adding to the polluting of the air or noise in the neighborhood. And I added a second battery to the receptacle to extend the time it can be used. This thing is great! Much less noise, no pollution, awesome!

I've owned four gas powered mowers over the last four decades. All were quality brand name machines. This mower is practically designed. Unlike any of the others, the grass catching area is smooth and tapered, with no slots or grooves to trap clippings. All had adjustable wheels, but this one has a single leveraged handle to adjust all four wheels at once. Because of the leverage, adjusting all four wheels took less effort than adjusting one wheel on any of the others. The mower handle is easily adjusted to two positions. The 7.5 Ah battery charges very fast. It is compatible with any Ryobi 40 volt battery. The design allows installing two batteries at once to save mid mowing changes, and just reversing the safety key to choose the active battery. The battery has a four-led system to indicate charge. I charged it last week and then today mowed for twenty minutes; it used one quarter of the battery's charge. I neglected the grass in my yard, giving it the first mowing of the season today (May 5). In places it was almost a foot high. Despite the resistance from the tall grass, the mower moved right through on the shortest setting. The mower has two blades with a set angle between them. It can mulch, discharge from the side, or catch the grass through the back. The catcher was the largest of any mower I owned, and is twice the size of that of my current gas mower. The mower can be stored vertically to save floor space.

This new RYOBI 21" cordless lawn mower is a delight to use. I used it first on my front lawn, and again last night in my back yard. I knew right away that this is by far the best ever cordless battery operated mower I've ever used.  I appreciated the fact that it was over 90% assembled, as I was taking it out from the shipping container. I can tell you this, as a 73 yer old woman, still doing my own property maintenance, that it doesn't get any better than this.  This mower has a very powerful battery charger included, and it took less than 30 minutes for a full charge. The safety features are all there, and even include a plug-in starter. Once plugged in, pointed towards your 7.5 Ah battery, it starts literally in just a few seconds.  The batter run-time is 50 minutes or more. It runs fast, and starts and stops just as fast as you'd ever hope for.  The exterior deck is heavy duty plastic, and has a lifetime warranty. There are 3 different choices available for mowing, mulching and just bagging. All of the parts are easily attached. Ryobi even chose to install a beautiful LED headlight at the front. It shuts off within 30-60 seconds so not much battery power is extracted.  The instructions are well written, and I read every detail while charging my battery up for the first time. I truly have enjoyed using it, and finding out all of its benefits. I look forward to actually doing more lawn work out there as this was easy to maneuver, and lightweight. No gas, so no smokey, fume filled odors to contend with.  Folds up, and even stands on its own. I am recommending this mower to each and every interested Home Depot Shopper. 

I have been looking for a battery operated lawn mower for the past year or two and finally found one that meets all my requirements as to safety , convenience and ease of operation as well as all the other things taat a gas mower will do without the necessary stored gas containers in my garage. I do not have a large lawn, but this mower is easy to maneuver , does a great cutting job and folds up for easy storage requiring very little space. I am very pleased with this 21inch RYOBI mower.

This came assembled right out of the box, with the exception of the bagger and side chute. It quickly folds down for storage There were no directions except for the battery. After some wrangling, we figured out how to put the bagger together. It was a bit of a challenge getting it onto the metal frame. The mower is easy to start with one button and runs great. It is quieter than a gas mower and there's no smelly, messy gas to deal with. The bagger lifts off very easily for emptying. It has 7 height adjustments and mows and mulches, which will be great for leaves in the fall. You can use one or two blades to extend the run time. We have other Ryobi products and we can always count on them to get the job done.

Operates and cuts like a gas mower but no gas! I'm not sure that the weight is much different than a gas mower. Instead of gasoline adding to the total weight, there's a battery. It only comes with one battery but I'm thinking it might be worth having a second on hand. The instructions say that the battery lasts for about 50 minutes. It may have been that long when I used -- I lose track of time. The key direction indicates which battery to use so you can load both and switch when the first battery dies. It comes with a quick charger for the battery. I wanted this mower to get around trees and edges, where our riding mower is not good. I just use the mulcher. But you can attach the side discharge or the bagger if you prefer.
