Electric may be awesome for home owners but for professionals I’ll pass
Yep, they're cute little toys.
One of the biggest landscaping companies around here switched all of their trailers to electric with solar secondary. Let's them mow earlier and later. More jobs in a day, more money.
Plus, it's a slick setup. All the clients I've seen are always staring in the trailer. 😂
@@brookekathryn1980 Unless they're getting a subsidy (taxpayers paying for their equipment), they will have to work three times as hard to clear what most clear with gas mowers. Electric is a scam, but carry on! LOL
@@tobylou8 it's the same amount of work unless it's being used commercially which it's not designed for. 4 acres is 4 acres champ. Your lack of an argument is comical.
@@brookekathryn1980 Bonehead, a commercial electric mower costs more, at least 3 times more for a comparable mower. What landscaper buys a machine to NOT use it for commercial work??? Mean Green has a stander 36 that's 25,000 dollars!! I just said the Ryobi was a cute toy, which it is. Go re-read your comment!
Sorry brother , bought 1 10 days ago brought it back did not work home depot leaves them out in the rain it shortted out the electronics !
150 more payments and she’s all mine!
🤣🤣
Yeah for real, only 7k for same mower cost me 2,500
I used to have a Snapper with the joystick controller, by far my favorite method of all!
I don’t need one. But I WANT one. No. Two. So we can race.
A majority of lawn mowing companies around my ways are switching to electric due to many families and elderly don't like the loud noises of the old fuel powered mowers. So businesses are switching. Have to move with the times in order to make money I suppose.
Good day, on Saturday morning I start my electric mower it so quiet. So quiet don’t even wake the neighbors. Also I don’t smell like gas or exhaust smell. Cut great. Really all comes down to what you prefer.
Looks cool, i got 4 hover board motors and a 40V black and decker i converted to run on 2 dewalt 20V batteries. I will have to build one of these.
At the price this thing cost they should give you free batteries for life.
A majority of the cost is the batteries and the motors...
Until you have to replace the batteries that’s where the money comes in
I hear ya man.ego lawn mower,750 bucks,26 months later 1 battery450 bucks.a gas mower would mow my lawn for 20yrs for the same money.never again.
I used the 38 inch 100 ah one for 7 years. just bought the 80 v 42 inch zero turn instead of replacing the old style batteries again and the deck. New zero turn was $2000 off and free bagger, couldnt resist. I use mine more as a utility vehicle to do work around the yard. I have about 1.75 acres. Never had a gas powered one, so I dont know how easy they are to stop and go all day. I will say their battery estimates are horrible. I will have to buy some extra batterie, so there goes the $2000 I saved. It is fun to drive, maybe I will finally get my nephews to want to cut my grass.
Yeah IDK about that because the gas ones also seem like they are terning to junk. I always used to buy Honda lawnmowers but my trusty 87 homeowners model died so I bought a new one that lasted only 2 years (transmission failed). Thought it was a fluke so I bought another one. Also died after 2 years. Also has a failed transmission.
@@davidshaffer4649you d left out a LOT but enjoy your “never again.”
It's only worth the money if you know how to fix battery packs. Not a hard skill to pick up BTW.
Only downside I’ve seen is the lack of independent control of the left and right side.
You got it?!!!! Awesome! Can’t wait to see what you think of it!
I just made the switch from gas to electric, so much easier.
We have the same sandles on and I don't have electric but I use a Toro zero turn. I have fun like that as well. Lol
Love how quiet it is. Hate the short battery life. At two years old, I get twenty minutes of blade time. Then the blade doesn’t turn, no longer a mower. I wait four hours to charge and get another twenty minutes. Fantastic
@bettylougreen6987 Mine charges way quicker than the 4, 6 and 8hrs that people are saying. Mine goes from depleted to charged in about an hour. Lithium Ion batteries are better than the lead acid batteries...these machines are every bit the lawn mowers gas ones are without belts, hoses, priming, gas, oil and spark plugs...and the noise... I mow, use my blower to clean it off and I'm done... I will never do gas again for lawn equipment, ever...
What are you feeding your grass. Nice sorta fullness and fairly vibrant green and how often are you feeding and watering it if you do.
Don't buy them people. I bought a Husqvarna battery mower but after 3 years it now needs about $2500 in batteries. There's no point buying new batteries. I've just bought a Toro zero turn petrol. It's a beast. I get the lawn done so fast.
Could it handle 3 hrs continuous mowing?
If so, I might consider it.
My gas zero turn is almost 20 years old and still going strong how long do those batteries last
If its the Ryobi 40V packs, about 4 years. And they aren't cheap to replace, mine went bad on the weed eater.
My man
My batteries lasted 2 to 3 years. Very light use. Ill stick to gas until this stuff gets better.
The new gas mowers won't last that long either. As more time goes by reliability across the board drops, electric or gas.
@@nicoctane1669nobody wants to admit that. It’s much easier to exaggerate how long their mowers last OR omit all the upkeep required to accomplish that.
Each has its pro’s and con’s. Shocking.
I'd much rather have my 1200lb 1988 garden tractor
I can say I like the fact that it looks like it has a fab deck on it.
i saw a really old granny on one of these at the mall
Will it mow 8 yards a day 6 days a week
Just curious what the batteries cost? Also what is the life span of them? I'm asking, because I'm still cutting my property with a 34yr old lawn tractor. Same motor. It still cuts like the day I bought it of course with regular maintenance
You won’t get that kind of reliability/functionality from electric in our lifetime. Probably great for small-medium yards
@@Superhunan I know right? I hate the fact that their pushing electric operated stuff so bad. I refuse to go electric, what happens when the batteries short out and or malfunction and need replaced? The batteries alone are hundreds of dollars. Where as if my carb on my tractor goes bad, they have aftermarket ones or OEM ones are still way cheaper than batteries. This whole electric in my opinion is nonsense!!!
@@Superhunan had mine for 7 years. I wish it would die.
@@brookekathryn1980 you have a 7 year old electric ?
They don't make gas mowers like they used to, just cause your old mower lasted over 30 years don't bet on the newer less quality built ones lasting nearly as long.
Sure, the mowers fine if you are mowing a half acre yard but after one year the battery life has been proven to be 1/3 of the advertised life therefore if you have a 3 acre yard, it’s gonna take three days to mow because those have lead asses batteries that take forever to charge
Just got one, the 30in version...are we keeping the batteries in the machine in between uses?
I do. I've left .one in all winter and was fine too
Does the 30 mowere feel stable? Not to narrow for tip over on side oh slopes?
@@lstucken It is a smaller version of the bigger ones. I feel it's stable to me but I'm going slow and go straight up and down slopes not across them. It cuts with the same power gas has, why people are so loyal to gas surprises me. Electric is not there for me with cars yet, but electric is perfect for the home owners that want a simple rider...this one is zero turn and super fun. 30in at 3 grand is an amazing deal if you're thinking about it, you will love it...
They should be called this is why electric lawnmowers are trash and then you have to replace your batteries every two years and good luck with batteries on that one $5000 for a set of batteries I’ll stay with gas thank you
Cool! 👍👍👍
Have fun paying another 5 grand in 3 years when you have to buy a new one, can we do a rope pull contest with my current mower? Would love to drag you around the yard with my 1969 john Deere 112
Idk if this specific model beats your specific John Deere, but pound for pound an electric motor will out-torque a gas engine, especially at low rpm. It’s how electric cars have such quick 0-60 times. I doubt this zero turn is built for towing though.
Got an 80v leaf blower, that mower should be good for 3 min.s at low speed.
Watch the full videoni just posted today
@@ToolReviewZone You're right! OK, will have to give the edgers and saws another look, thx!.
@sandspar the saws are really good, but not a big fan of their blowers. I know a lot of people that think their self propelled mower are awesome, but I think they are just ok. This zero turn is really impressive though. Was pretty shocked with how well it performed
Top speed?
Itll be dead soon. Please make sure we see that post.
You sound just like all the other haters on my older vuds that said the same thing, but yet still going strong.
I want to like these but there's just no economic case for almost anybody. Most people will never save enough in gas and maintenance to offset the price premium over a comparable gas machine. Will the battery life be long enough to break even? If Ryobi filled out the 80v line with tools like tillers or brush mowers, but offered them as bare tools, you could leverage the batteries from the ZT across multiple tools. That could help make the economic case, but as it stands now, there's not much there to me.
This is the type of feedback I like. Instead of just tossing BS claims, you make valid points
@@ToolReviewZone I've been constantly tempted by the 2 stage snowblowers precisely because I could leverage the batteries across the 40v platform. It helps that the premium isn't as large as the riders. I may have to wait for the next gen 2 stage though, as this winter would've seriously challenged it here in NH. All of our big storms were like 12-16" of cement which challenged the gas blower. I would've needed several charges to handle the last storm we got (26" of heavy, wet stuff).
The day my mower eventually dies I might get one of these
Does Cub Cadet still make an electric zero turn? I’d probably get theirs over this.
I believe they do, but I heard the are horrible. Now, that's just hearsay and haven’t actually tried imthem myself
He doesn’t know yet that Robinson doesn’t us lithium ion batteries in the lower end models and the crap batteries fail after a year or so
You need to rename the video why smelling my own farts is awesome
I rather buy a gas burner because at least I can work on that when it breaks down
I'm 7 years in on my electric lawn tools. No maintenance required. When it breaks, which I hope it does soon, but it looks unlikely, I finally get to upgrade.
And when the engine goes on that gas burner(if it does) you can replace it much cheaper than the batteries.
@Olaf236 you got that right, and besides I have a poulan pro 46 inch zero turn that I have had for 12 years and it still runs like brand new you can't get that kind of life out of a battery mower
I bet you do like that.
When I got a new electric weedeater I swore I'd never have another gas burner
Yep, exactly what I said too Matt 👊👊
Lol - you did pronounce the name of the brand… just like everyone else 🤷♂️
If only they weren't do dang expensive Clinton, help us out here...🙏🏼
Lol, I tried my best a whil ago. They dropped them a bit, but now they wot pick up the phone Robert 🤣👊
Ryobi not riobi... 😂😂 why do people always say that....
I hear the batteries are garbagio. No thanks.
You are thinking of the previous lead acid batteries in the last gen mowers, not these
@ToolReviewZone oh cool, they fixed that. I was soooo close to throwing down 4200$ in 2021 for it. Glad i didn't.
Is it Awkward to drive?
At first yes. Still getting the hang if it, but getting much easier
9 grand for a ryobi is a joke!
Good thi h they are currently 2k off. Li k in the description 👊
Yep, nothing like spending 4K to mow 2 ACRES
Gas is a lot better!!!!
Just watched a video about this mower on year 2. It lost 50% of its battery power so it couldn't finish the lawn in one charge like it used to. Complete garbage
You watched an old video about the led acid battery, not this one. You don't know what you are watching or talking about
for 4 grand i can get a new gas rider, new gas leaf blower and echo trimmer and a gas push mower. why the fck would anyone waste 4k on a battery mower that runs for 2 hours and takes 8 to charge over a 1 min tank fill up with gas
For 4 grand I’ll buy a toro time cutter instead 😭
probably gotta be real careful when pressure washing it off
Just have to make sure you keep the lids down over the batteries
Will see how you going to love after repair it, it’s pain in b-t
How do you know, have you repaired one 🤷
@@ToolReviewZone 3 seasons only, and every thing functional just accelerator pedal stoped working. Trying to call service, them trying to call manufacturer, I need move my lawn. It’s working nice, when it’s working. I paid 3k and used for 3 seasons, seems to expensive, cheaper to hire company to move lawn.
Let’s see how it eats ankle high to knee-high grass
You should probably watch the full send video I did on it

Nope I got my dads ryobi mower after he passed it had lead acid batteries they died after 1.5 years straight trash!
Yeah, this isn't lead acid though, it's lithium-ion. Sorry to hear about your dad though 😢
@@ToolReviewZone yea I’m gonna change them to lithium iron batts! Thanks
Oops, Ryobi found another sucker.
Thats a toy for a tiny yard
And when the battery craps out in a few years, buy another... electric mower!
More electric morons, the cheaper gas gets!
I can fix my gas mower if it breaks
Handle is lame
Not about speed buck
I just hate that they come in that ugly green color
.
Emowers SUCK in challenging grass, I'll pass on a $5000.00 go cart
But the ego is better
Idk. I have the ego. Kinda wishing I got this...
😂😂😂😂😂
Ur gay
Just joke
The mower is
$10,000 last I checked
7k and a free blower/string Trimmer and 49v battery with purchase
@@ToolReviewZone That’s a lot better than the previous offer.
Hard to believe they're only $7,000
jeez.
And it's only 9 thousand dollars...
Why do people just say things that aren't true? Is it just something that they think is clever or something 🤔
You voted for Biden.....
Lead batteries lol. Good luck with that in a years time. 😂
You don't have a clue do you?
@@ToolReviewZone explain how lead batteries are better than lithium and how this electric mower is not a depreciating nightmare both in value and energy density?
And when is mower speed ever a need???? Foolish review
My god, you so dumb. These are lithium-ion batteries. You are thinking of the previous lead acid mower (which thisbis not). If you don't know what you are talking about, you probably shouldn't leave condensending comments 🙄
@@ToolReviewZone fair play. The lead one is the one is was slagging off. Still a shit review.
Have fun I'll keep my gas... electric Trash all the way .. only for small property only it should say on it
It'll do 4 acres
@@brookekathryn1980 4 acres I stand corrected ty my good sir
