Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great electric mower This mower does a great job. Comes with a cup holder which is nice. Very happy with the cruise control feature. Comfortable seat as well. If you have two acres or less of grass to cut it’ll handle it no problem on a single charge Some cons: louder than I thought it would be but not intrusive. Grass has to be really short before you can use the mulcher insert, otherwise it stalls. Arrived from the factory with a completely flat front tire that had a slow leak due to a manufacturing defect. Because there is no local Home Depot in my town I took the wheel to a local tire shop and they were able to properly seal it. All in all I would recommend this mower?

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Batteries are horrible. Buy something else. After plenty of research, reviews, and deliberating I decided to go with this electric riding mower. I bought this late last summer and the batteries did not even last one year. Initially it worked well for a month, but now when I go to cut my 2 acre flat lawn, the cutting blades turn off after 10-15 minutes of use and I barely have enough power to drive back to my garage. It takes roughly 4-6 charges for me to finish my lawn. Save your money and buy a more reliable gas powered mower.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Was a great idea I was so happy with this machine the first summer, but by the fall it was losing power too soon. The charger was not working properly. It took 5 months to get a new charger. in the mean time I had to pull the batteries out and charge individually. (not an easy task if you have a bad back) The next summer an exact repeat but this time the charger came sooner but still a month of down time and by now significantly less cutting time. The 3rd and final summer and 3 chargers later, it won't run at all and the batteries are toast. I have decided not to invest another $1200 on new batteries only to have 3 more summers of frustration. My mower is still under warranty but it's useless without the batteries. $5000 wasted! The batteries should be covered for 3 years as well, the faulty chargers were replace under warranty and I'm left wondering if this was the cause of the battery failure. No service help from Home depot stores either, and service centre was 100 km away and they seemed to be on a learning curve with the machine. I do not recommend this machine until lithium batteries are available and Home Depot offers better service support.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Service entretien J'ai acheté le tracteur 75AH, il y a 3 ans. L'année passée, l'autonomie à baissée considérablement. Cette année, je dois faire une recharge après 25 min d'utilisation. La garantie est expirée depuis 3 mois, il y avais encore de la neige. Donc maintenant la réparation est à mes frais. Le problème, personne de ma région ne fais l'entretien. Le centre le plus proche est à 208 km. Wow ça c'est du service.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Ryobi Totally Battery Powered Riding Lawn Mower Scary to drive on a slight incline. Very bumpy ride. Stepping on accelerator pedal require deep push before you get any speed. On the other hand, quiet drive while driving without two motor blades running. No gas exhaust fumes, no oil change no belts to worry about. Possible snow plow use in winter or snow blower attachment.

My only option for storage is a shed with no power. would it be a problem to run an extention chord to the shed and connect the charger to the extention chord?

Asked by: Dave
That would not be a problem. The charging unit can be hooked up to an extension cord. If the cord is low amp, it will probably take longer to charge.

How hard is it to remove the battery. E.g., if I just want to store the battery inside at night, is that a big operation?

Asked by: Mikey
Definitely a big operation. It takes about 20-30 minutes, which is ok if you do it once a year, but wouldn't want to do it every day. Keep in mind as well, that four batteries are really heavy to move around daily.
