cordless lawnmower recommendations

cordless?



I've heard good things about the Ryobi mower and really all their battery powered tools.

Ego.

Just get an Ego, I'd get a select cut. The 650cfm blower and the carbon one piece shaft trimmer are super nice too.

I have a ryobi 20in lawnmower. It's the non self propelled/40v variety.

My yard is about 5000sqft ish.

My battery lasts about an hour before, I have to switch batteries. I might get 45mins if it's wet grass or thick. But I'm overall happy with it. Convenient, no mixing, garage doesn't smell like gas, and startup with the press of the button every time.

Like you, I went with ryobi because I already have a bunch of ryobi power tools and now have a bunch of additional lawn tools(blower, pole saw, edger, trimmer, etc.).

I don't know what all dewalt offers in their lawn line up but if you think you might want more than just a mower, then may want to look to see what all you would be able to have with their system. People like ego a lot as well for lawn equipment.

The only thing I would say about the dewalt version, is that I don't know what the performance difference would for having two 20v battery vs a 40v battery. I suppose if your yard really isn't that big, it probably won't matter too much.

Can it not cut 5000 sq/ft in an hour?

Well it's not self propelled, so I guess it depends how fast I'm walking or running . Plus my yard isn't square. I usually mow the yard in 30-45mins, so I never need to switch to a new unless it's wet or tall grass.


I'm just saying my battery time is about an hour when mowing normally maybe a little less if it's wet or tall grass.

I gotcha. I was thinking it took more than an hour to do 5000. Not the best selling feature if so.

Pricey toys you boys play with

Have an ego and can’t tell a difference between my old gas Honda, it’s nice to just throw the battery on the charger instead of having to go fill up the gas can

Go to Costco and get the greenworks bundle.

Mower, Weed Eater, Blower for about $350 and comes with two batteries

Nice.

I have a Ryobi 42” zero turn on order to arrive in 2 weeks. Gonna attach a Brinly lawn sweeper to it to grab leaves. Can’t wait. My mow-able area is about 2 acres. I’ll update on performance when I get it.

Can't beat a gas mower unless you have a dime sized yard
