Whether you’re mowing, mulching, bagging or discharging the clippings, this electric Ryobi has a lot going for it: helpful self-propel, smart-sensing power modes, a long runtime and a quality cut at every mowing height. The machine is sturdy on its feet, with a wide wheelbase that provides confidence on slopes, while its lightweight construction makes it easy to maneuver in tight spots. Add to that a class-leading five-year warranty, and it’s no surprise that it was the best lawn mower we tried in our most recent round of testing.
Beyers reports that he had it out of the box and ready in 15 minutes. The trickiest part was partially assembling the amply sized clippings bag. The power mode and speed-setting controls are intuitive, easy to read and easy to adjust. And this mower is one of the quietest Beyers has ever used, even when it kicks into high power mode.
If you like to mow fast, especially on steep slopes, know that the Ryobi is equipped with a tilt sensor that cuts power if the deck tilts past 45 degrees. That, and the safety key inserted into the battery compartment, make this the smart and safe choice if you are entering the electric lawn mower market.
