6 years ago I bought the ryobi cordless lawnmower.
Ryobi is not really what brand you want if you are using tools for a job but for the home lot of times they work fine.
Hilti & Makita is what I use for work I love them.
Back to Ryobi lawnmower.
In 6 years I've ran that mower through very tall grass in my garden area. Ran it in my ditch. Ran it in the rain which you aren't supposed to do for two reasons.
One, if you don't have battery protector down the terminals can get wet and rust.
Two, they know the batteries aren't going to last as long so in order to claim battery time they say not to run it in rain or even wet grass.
Where I live good luck with that.
So here we are 6 years later and mower still kicking butt.
So if you looking to go cordless I can tell you this has served me very well.
I'm very critical of lot of products so when one performs great I like to tell others.
Since I bought it they have new designs of course but price wise still right there in that range I bought it.
So if you considering going cordless this be great buy for you.
