150.000 subscribers! Congratulations! 🎉
I had a Toro mower for 8 years and it finally died a few weeks ago. I switched over to a Ryobi mower. I was able to scalp and bag a 8,000 sqft Bermuda lawn in half the time it took me with my gas 21” gas Toro Recycler! I’m glad I made the switch!
That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing.
I switched to cordless a few years ago...love it TJ🏁
Glad to hear it and thanks for sharing.
I love my Ego mower, trimmer, and blower. The 6ah battery for the mower is more than enough to do my entire yard. My trimmer with a 2.5ah gets all the work done. The 4ah battery for the 675cfm blower goes through about half the battery when running ~6 minutes on constant turbo mode
Love my EGO, Here ind Europe its hard to come by through.
I bought the 40v 730 cfm blower last year and it “blew” me away! That led me to purchase the trimmer which has been awesome! My 12 yo Murray finally died so picked up the 40v mower two weeks ago. GAME CHANGER that “mows” down the gas competition. For my use case, the 4 and 6ah batteries have been excellent. Overall, for the performance, features and price #ryobi is the winner 🎉.
That's great to hear and thank you for sharing.
I do all my yard work with cordless ope and they work phenomenal
Box Office of this movie had to of been $950,000,000,000,000
At my camper I use a gas push mower and an electric ryobi weed eater 10 inch 18 volt. And I have two electric blowers. Ryobi 18 volt. Love the video have a good weekend!
Glad to hear that the RYOBI 18V stuff is working well for you. Thanks for watching.
I have the earlier version of Ryobi 40v mower and I'm very very happy with it. But I still rock a 17-year-old corded Ryobi trimmer and until it craps out, I'm sticking with it!
Don't have the hedge trimmer. Now as for the blower....hard pass. Had it, hated it, so I took it back and purchased the DeWalt.
As a first time homeowner, battery was a clear choice. It cost a little more up front but the time saved in maintenance is well worth it. 20 inch brushless push mower, expand-it 40v brushless trimmer (a godsend of an invention), and a whisper 600cfm blower. Got an old 18v Homelite hedge trimmer and 10in chainsaw that still run great (they use ryobi batteries because they were rebranded ryobi tools from around 2010) so those basis are covered.
I will say the attachment head was the clear winner of the show, I have an edger, snow shovel and pole saw that all run great on it, and if I can find the articulating pole hedge trimmer I'll snag that too. I also converted my boss to battery for his OPE accessories. His mower is still gas but got him on a battery trimmer and blower and he loves it.
I’ve made it 10 years on my gas mower with no oil change 😂
Love the video! I personally use a ryobi electric weed eater 40 volt. I use ryobi gas blower. Love it. And a gas 21 inch craftsman front wheel drive mower! Like the electric hand equipment. but when it’s the big mowers, I will go with gas. Have a good day!
We can't argue with that. Thanks for watching.
I hope they fix the blade issue on these I see this is the newer model. I returned the old model three times cuz the blade would hit the deck and take gouges out of the deck. I returned it again and bought a different Ryobi. Awesome mower but the blade hit the deck and for some reason the mower would cut out when it got hot but the other Ryobi the cheaper one I'm still mowing 4 years later no issues.😮
Battery is ok. I have both gas and battery. The battery I use in the early morning when I am trying o beat the rain or on a Sunday out of respect to the neigbors. Recently this lady was walking her dog and she saw me cutting my lawn at around 8:00 AM and and she said to me she is going to get one for her husband in the sense that because the both of them work, he can only work on the lawn on the weekends. If he can get up and start early without affecting the neighbors he will be more efficient. I concurred.
I have ego, and i am switching to gas zero turn cause the price for batteries are ridiculous for EGO batteries 499.99 to replace mine.
I was all set to switch to an EGO mower (already have an EGO trimmer), and I did some due diligence as I do with most major purchases. When I found the part in the manual about not mowing wet grass or washing the bottom of the deck because the moisture may get into the electrical system, I put the switch on hold. I can't see spending twice as much for a battery mower that the manufacturer won't honor the warranty if I get it wet. A mower is designed to be used outdoors, the the outdoors often gets wet. Any company that can't waterproof their electrical outdoor tool needs to get out of the business.
I have the 40V trimmer and the guy is right.
The trimmer head is heavier than a gas powered head. It makes it feel cumbersome.
Like driving a 4-door Caprice, when you're used to a BMW.
Also my trimmer has more vibration at the head than the EGO trimmer has.
That’s because it’s got the motor in the head. I’m sure you’re well aware of that though. I’ve got the attachment capable traditional shaft drive trimmer and it’s pretty darn light on the front in.
I hate using that trimmer for that reason
You need to have either a bunch of battery or a supercharger that charged fast if you do lawncare throughtout the day
I have both professional grade gas blowers and mowers and 40v electric stuff. Electric is cool for the average home user but the blower for example- I have a Husqvarna backpack blower and the 40v 730 blower…. battery dies in like 15 mins on turbo with a 6AH. Just not doable for me with a decent size yard. The hedge trimmer and chainsaw are amazing though, but that blower I just don’t know, it uses a lot of power lol
Ryobi looks awesome! I hearing the OPE is nice. I need to get a new mower. The Husqvarna 2 Battey deal is $900.00 the Stihl 510v is $700.00 and the Ryobi is about $600.
I’m getting rid of my older Stihl Gas. I’m going battery. I think I’m going Husqvarna if I can find a deal
All 3 you mentioned are great options, depending on the price. You'll probably be very happy with the Husqvarna mower. Thanks for watching.
I love electric for smaller jobs. Quick, easy lightweight and you don't have to smell like 2stroke if you're not dressed up for work. Gas all day for bigger work hands down though.
Correct, if you're looking for all-day work, it makes the most sense to go with gas. Thanks for watching.
Wait a year when the battery takes a dump and the cost of a new battery is more than the mower itself 🤣
Batteries are covered for 3 years. Make sure you keep the receipts, but Home Depot should replace it for you. Thanks for sharing.
He seemed like a very nice guy. But I hate to see people think its okay to just blow trimming into the road. Guess they've never owned a motorcycle.
Guys that blow grass clippings in the road, and guys that don't. It's kinda like SCUBA divers: those that pee in their wetsuits, and those that lie about it. lol. Sorry for that comparison. Thanks for watching.
What happened to - TIM JOHNSON?
I have grown up and realized that it's not all about me. I can't do everything to please Rob (tool show) either. :) Thanks for watching.
The maintenance chores of gas equipment, coupled with the noise and smell is bad. Gasoline also contains benzene (which is both a carcinogen AND eats through rubber) and ethanol (which is hydrophilic and causes rust.) I like Florida, but absolutely HATE cutting the lawn, so my choice would be to move 😅
No way! We love Central Florida. :) Thanks for watching.

I have three different brands of cordless and ego is the best so far . I’m surprised you took him the ryobi that would be my last choice .
EGO has great equipment, for sure, on their 56V platform. The new 40V HP RYOBI stuff is pretty impressive with performance, a big step up from their previous versions. Have you had any issues with the RYOBI 40V HP equipment?
@@Shoptoolreviews there e-volt string trimmer is a bit slow and it’s kinda heavy . Love there auger and love there pvc cutter . There mower the one I had was under powered it was a 40 volt not sure of the model . So I’m not saying all there stuff is bad because I do like something’s .
Works great for the first years and after that battery degradation will happen and you won't cut your full lawn with one battery. They're not temperature regulated like EV batteries so degradation is a real problem in 4-5 years.
Sell your used batteries and buy new ones every 3-5 years? Say you have $600 in batteries to start and you sell them for $300. That's $100 - $60 a year on batteries. It would be even less if you are able to take advantage of the battery warranty. How much would gas cost to run a mower/trimmer/blower + going to the gas station to refill the can? Then add the time for maintenance.
Batteries have a life cycle and battery hygiene matters. Gas is great if you need hours of continuous run time;otherwise electric is more convienent, quieter, healthier, and usually lighter.
Gas goes bad even sooner. 😜
I haven’t seen any degradation in my batteries yet in 6+ years ago I think? I charge and store my batteries inside the house in a temperature controlled environment, so that might be the key to prevent degradation. Batteries in general don’t do well in extreme heat and cold. I went to battery OPE except for a Toro gas mower going on 19 years now. Whenever the mower dies I will look at a battery powered mower as well. One thing I’ve noticed on all these different brands of battery powered mowers is that there doesn’t seem to be any ventilation that I can see of the battery compartment. I am sure those batteries get really warm/hot being in an enclosed compartment.
Ryobi? No… give him the best .. EGO and he’ll be a battery guy for life
Personally I’m actually glad he gave him Ryobi over Ego. I know Ego is the best, but what I want to know is just how good Ryobi is compared to Ego.
I’d also be curious about long term Milwaukee OPE usage. Seen plenty of reviews but nothing long term.
Love my Ryobi line of 40V lawn tools! And you can love your Ego ✌🏻👍🏻
@@JT-sl3ui I’ve got 5 Home Depot’s within a 5 mile radius, two of which are within 1 mile and 3 Miles respectively. The nearest Lowe’s is about twelve miles away and a minimum of a 30 minute drive, otherwise I’d probably have Ego. But as it is, I’ve got all older Ryobi 40v stuff. I do like them but I believe the Ego equivalents are better. Except for the top of the line whisper blower, that thing is fantastic! In fact my mower is the very first generation 20” single battery port, all plastic, no discharge capabilities, came with a single 5AH battery, built by Homelite model. When I bought it, I had recently bought a house with a small yard, I didn’t need anything big and powerful and I was on a shoe string budget. I bought it on clearance for $300. The only thing I disliked about it was its absolute lack of lift. So ironically I modified it to accept an Ego 20” high lift blade, now it cuts so incredibly well and actually has increased runtime. The lift is strong enough that if you put it in the lowest height setting it actually gets really hard to push because it’s sucking so hard to the ground. What l’m really curious about is how the modern top of the line or at least nearly top of the line Ryobi 40v compares in long term heavy usage to both gas and the equivalent Ego models.
@@2down4up Bought a M18 mower tool only off fb marketplace for $250. Replaced the old dewalt 20v x 2 FWD which struggled on the .5 acre lawn which I cut every 7-11 days. M18 mower has been great for the past month using 4x 8 ah to cut the front and back. I usually cut front and back on different days wit 2x 8ah cause the lawn is sloped in the back and ditches in the front. Cutting multiple inches of grass/weeds does build up on the deck(rear discharging). But I'm pretty sure thats universal.
The free spinning wheels when unpropelled is great, as is the power. I'd recommend bare tool $400 or less and if you're already in the platform. M18 battery powered mower is way better than the ope only (-fans) ryobi batteries. But ryobi does have the cordless dethatcher, cultivator, auger, pressure washer, etc. So still good for being one of the biggest cordless line.
I can't comprehend why anyone would want an electric mower. The only reason to mow the lawn in the first place is to annoy the various neighbors who are constantly trying to leverage their power over everyone through the HOA.
I always mow the lawn whenever they are having a cookout or a kids birthday party, and you better believe I have to use ear protection to run my mower.
Meh, I find a gas back blower or trimmer to be louder.
I just want to know if you arrived to deliver that pick-up truck full of battery powered lawn equipment in a Ford Lighting, Tesla Cybertruck, or a Rivian? Or did you show up in something powered by liquid dinosaurs??? I hope you're not trying to put forward an agenda you don't really believe in because it's either the "cool" thing or are getting paid for it. Do I own cordless power tools? Of course. Because on that scale they "got there" for outdoor power equipment, they're not there yet. The best electric mower I'm familiar with gets 4 hours, resulting in 2 acres. My yard is 5 acres. But I do use a cordless leaf blower to clear the vents, filters and radiator of my diesel tractor.
Bruh, not everyone owns 5 acres. If you have less than an acre, battery is a very reasonable choice for many owners. They don't need to cut for 4 hours. You also don't have neighbors 50 feet from your house doing yard work early in the morning. smh
@CowsGoM3ow
There are also people who live in apartment complexs that don't have any need for them themselves, but the Landlord does have need for them beyond 4 hours. SMH or if you have a single acre or less, choose not to even buy your own mower, but hire a landscaping service that is doing it on every house in your neighborhood from dawn to dusk. SMH and each of the people in each of those situations can reasonably own a cordless drill and either a Tesla or gasoline car but still find battery powered outdoor power equipment stupid. And yet again I will SMH in disdain for you shaking yours.
@@rodgerneeb301 hurr durr not for me = stupid. Lmao. So out of touch with reality.
Bubbas mindset lol.
Guess I should buy a Kubota 60" tractor for my 1/3 acre of land.
Bro… it isn’t that deep
Is this channel becoming an informacial for corporations?!? This sucked.
We appreciate you sharing, we really do. No, we definitely don't want to become an infomercial. We do tons of reviews that are very objective and featuresque. Every once in a while, we like to just put tools/equipment in the hands of a user and get their honest feedback, without telling them how good/bad it is before they use it. If you'll notice, we will title the video "Review" if it's an actual review. Sorry for the confusion, and we hope to keep you watching. That's also why we said that we would come back in 3 months to do a follow-up. If you notice, we didn't sugar-coat the homeowner's feelings on the string trimmer when it felt unbalanced while edging. Thanks for watching.
This is great! (The part about him telling bad stories about you of course-lol). Will be interesting to see what he thinks after using them for a season.
Why is everybody always picking on me?!
Weird. Maybe our Australian grass and weeds are harder and tougher to get through.
My friend bought the Electric Mower. $1,300 vs $500 for petrol.
I borrowed it to cut my grass and the mower got bogged down in the grass to much. Also clogged more often.
The batteries didnt last as long as I had expected and using the 2 batteries there was nothing left for any other tool using the 36v system.
I waited till the next day when the batteries were charged and again used both batteries with the whipper snipper.
I have used fuel based mower for 20 years and its never missed a beat. I press the button twice to pump fuel in and pull the cord twice and its off and running. Costs around $30 a year in fuel. I have changed the oil twice in 20 years.
The fuel mower costs me $500 to buy and in 20 years have set me back around $450 in running costs..
Smell? Well I cut my grass outside so don't seem to get the "Smell" issue others online seem to sook about.
Now my eldest son has had the ryobi 36v mower for 4 years and he used to get his front and back yard done in 1 battery. Now its only doing the front and now said he may have to get a new battery to complete his mowing. $299.
So in 5 years he has spent $700 plus now $300 total of $1,000 to just cut his front and back yard.
But now he borrows my fuel mower to just get the job done.
Maybe in the states this stuff is super cheap and maybe some how more cost affective but not here in Australia and buy prices and battery packs with some limitations in getting the job done..
I think too when they do reviews of products like this they need to actually have grass that's long. Its like this lawn was pre cut 2 days ago and a small 5mm cut was made and then big claims how amazing it is.
That could be true if you only work 15 hours a week and get time to mow the grass 3 times a week.
But reality people here work 40-60 hours a week. So you might only get the chance to cut the grass once a fortnight at best.
Thats where the electric ones falls short.
So I think it comes down to the following
1) How much time a week you cut the grass.
2) type of grass
3) If you have a shit load of cash laying about and have no drama in spending over twice as much to do the same job.
Seems logical.
