Steph's been using the Ryobi cordless battery powered lawn mower for about a year, so we thought it was time to do a review. 

Product:


  • 20 in. 40-Volt Brushless Lithium-Ion Cordless Battery Walk Behind Push Lawn Mower 6.0 Ah Battery/Charger Included (Home Depot)

The machine folds for easy storage which takes up a fraction of the space of a standard mower.

Steph takes you step by step how to unfold it and operate it in the video.

Add either the leaf bag or mulch plug to the Ryobi lawn mower.
You have to either install the grass catcher or mulch plug in order for the mower to start. It's a safety thing. If you forget, the machine won't start!

Check out the full range of Ryobi battery powered mowers at The Home Depot.
There are several models of cordless mowers to choose from at The Home Depot. There are self-propelled models that would be perfect for larger or hilly yards.
Prior to buying the Ryobi mower, Steph used a reel manual push mower. It worked, but it was a pain to keep stopping to pull out sticks that would get stuck in it! She decided she was ready for a power mower. Battery powered seemed like the perfect choice for her tiny yard. 

She went with Ryobi as she had already invested in the 40-volt Expand-It system of outdoor tools. So she could use the same battery she already had.

What I don’t like about my recently purchased Ryobi mower.
To mow I have to keep both hands clamped over drive bars in the handle, and have to keep a thumb compressing still a paddle to engage the drive wheels. A half hour of the strain on my hands, thumbs and wrists results in annoying pain in all or some of the skeletal components of the hands.
