I picked up the 20 inch self-propelled this weekend at the outlet store. 225 with 5.0 battery & Charger. Tested it today. 1hour 15 min run time & 3h20 min charge time. So far, loving it.

Last year I bought the 40v system home Depot had 5 tools(chainsaw, hedge trimmer, weed whacker, jet blower, and this self propelled mower) I love this mower it came with a 6amp batt but not hp I might get the 7.5 amp. But it's a great mower easy to use and quiet!

I picked up the older model, but self propelled, for $200 used today. Good deal, not a great deal. In pretty great shape and perfect for my rental property. Ready to operate for the renter, a female who has never mowed a yard in her life.

I bought the self propelled one first I did not like it so I took it back and got the 2020 version of the green one it comes with the 6ah battery and it's also a 20 inch I really like it. Thanks for sharing with us

Great vid, I’ll be buying the older model because of the weight difference

Got this couple years ago and it was drastically superior 2 previous two ryobi models i owned. I think the headlights they could had switch to turn it on and off. I like ryobi is improving their lawn mowers and i am looking forward to next purchase if i ever get another one. The big battery for this was better two as older ones that smaller batteries wouldn't last too long, Luckly we had other ryobi products so we had backups. The bigger battery for the lawn mower made it easier too, i still had to purchase a second one as now and again grass can get too thick in front and back yard to cause extra work.

Just bought the new non self propelled version. The bag stays on no matter how full or empty. It does not bounce off. It's a great mower.

On my 2nd lawnmower...1st one didn't hold and charge took that back fully charged and only got 20 mins out of it for battery was dead..took back to home depot and hope this 2nd works

Just got one. Great mower. Down side battery last about 20 minutes

I've had the older model with the 5amp battery for 2 years now and I'm loving it i have a bad shoulder and elbow and I like how easy it starts, lightweight and how it folds for easy storage it doesn't take much space i just wish the mower could have gone lower than 1 inch to cut .

Cool video 😎

I just picked this up for a one day only sale at Home Depot for $125, crazy deal the battery alone is more than that.

“It’s heavy” casually picks it up with one hand

i like those big 6 ah batteries. great video keep it up.

We just bought your buddies one you’re testing out easy assembly, but won’t start have mulch piece on locked,first time using it, any thoughts?

Thx. Was going to buy the 6amp battery since Ryobi said it’s capable with all 40v equipment. Stupid they wouldn’t say the battery is too large for older mowers.

The self propelled unit is quite a bit more expensive that the push model. From what i understand the push is ok because the mower is so light to push. Thoughts?

I got one because I have a hill on the side of my house. 30 days in its been returned to have the self propel gears replaced. It's not really durable. It's good for like a townhouse or a house with a flat yard.

Why would you bag instead of mulch?

Hi, so mine was the self propelled, it runs except the blades wont run using the bag 😅 any thoughts on this? Ty

You can use the six or seven or eight amp battery 40 volt they sell those at Home Depot not the HP. Then you can also get some aftermarket batteries

Good day can you use the new one as a mulcher instead of the bags thank you

I got the self propelled one but might get the push one just for the price of a bare batteries and let my nephew use it

I would like to get a battery mower at some point. But I have some thick green grass that grows fast. Will even bog down my Honda self propelled mower. I can't see a battery one having enough power for me

How long would it take to cut two acres with this?

I hate the plastic little tabs that hold the bag on the previous gen. That’s what I have now and it falls off all the time, especially on hills. The new one has clips that hold it in the channel.

Would you be willing to purchase an “off-brand” 40v battery for testing? You can find replacement 6ah batteries for $100 which is a great deal if they are any good..

Can the self propelled model be just pushed or will it cause demage??

I have a Ryobi brushless lawnmower 40v lithium 20in blade While I’m cutting out grass automatic stops, than push bottom to start it won’t last 3 secs and stops again. What the problem?? Anyone??

Using 2 40v 2aph batteries would it work

6:09 you mentioned you're used to a 16" mower however your mower is also 20"

There's a lot of advertisement in the background. Are you getting an endorsement deal from Ryobi?

I want to see what that new riding mower ryobi has will do.

Great video!!!! Thanks

Could you cut the whole yard on the older model and 5ah battery?

How does it compare to the Ego??

Have you had a chance to try the Toro Battery Operated Lawn Mower?

could I use the 40v 4 ah battery with either of these models?

In Ryobis instructions they make a big deal to say never mow backwards. You ever heard of that?

I cut the battery box a little and you can fit a 6amp In

Yes ,I found fault in switch which not work properly 👍

that's bad that a side discharge attachment wasn't included. I love to use the side

That's cool; but when it comes to lawn care stuff I'm a gas and oil type guy lol but but cool though Dave/ MCT %^)

mine broke the first day I got it wont stay running I have to take jt back

He didnt cut any 6"x6" :-( what's a video without a 6x6

How much was it ?

About how many square ft. did you cut...and how much battery power did you have left...capabilities in other words

Ryobi on, running, not cutting grass. Guess blades are not engaged. Why? 🥴😞 Bail pulled back, start button engaged.

You need to check out the ego line of tools(blowers, lawnmovers even self propelled, string trimmers, snow blowers, hedge trimmers, backpack blowers,chainsaws...) they all use the same 56v (2.5,5,7.5 and you can even find some 4,6 Ah)battery and they eve haev a commercial line with a backpack battery.

Don't get Ryobi, I got both Ego and Ryobi. Ryobi started to show signs of aging after two months of use, Ego not budging at all. Plus the ego blade setup is way better and much cleaner cut. Ego battery seem to go a little further too.

Ever tried any ego mowers?

woow I don't like to cut the cesped but with that machine I'd cut it every day xD jeje

So you know, bigger is not always better bigger means more charging time drains quicker and and it's only 1 ah difference you will never notice it

he didn't put the 3b4 in or the 1ll3

I think I said, "that's what she said" a million times lol

Not a decent lawn for instruction / demo. ?

Don’t discount the usefulness of the self-propelled option for anyone who is older or is facing some physical challenges or just doesn’t want to shove a mower through his lawn all day. No matter how light the push version is, the self-propelled version is easier to use. If you can afford the $100 price difference, do it. Smartest decision I ever made.

10:05 The text you put on screen says "Only real difference is the battery storage area" I have to strongly disagree. The new mower is 20% wider which means you can cut your grass 20% faster leaving you with more time to do other things, or just relax. Having said that, I have a Toro Timemaster lawnmower which is 30 inches wide, 50% wider than the new Ryobi lawnmower, and nearly double the width of your older one. Of course it does come with a hefty price tag to boot, but then again, time IS money. You can probably buy both of these Ryobi mowers for the $1200 I spent on my Toro, and still have enough left to buy pizza for your family's dinner. I'm not even going to talk about power because it's not fair to pit a gas mower against a battery powered mower in that category.

😄

So let me understand this and tell me if I am saying this wrong. Do you like the older model because it looks cooler even though the new model performs better has a better battery and you could put a 7 1/2 Amp better in there. So I guess the performance doesn’t count? It’s not a sports car. LOL.And I never seen those lawnmowers for 200 bucks. Show me and I will buy it never seen them for 200 not 280 or 249 200

My wife makes fun of me because I have maybe 14 Ryobi 18V products and I've adapted other 18V products to work with Ryobi batteries

You Just Messed Up And Bought The Wrong Model.. Or Could Not Afford The Self-ProPelled.. It's CLEARLY SUPERIOR To Your $200.00 Unit.
