We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

    Hello fellow Ryobi mower owner. Or as I call it, my $500 gym membership.

    I have a big old ride on mower as well but hate all the noise and the smell of exhaust, so rather just take three times as long pushing the Ryobi about.

    Nothing quite like the satisfying thwack when it eats a small blackberry bush or snaps a runaway wysteria tendril.

      At least the Ryobi is super-lightweight! I can easily carry it out of my garage and even with the battery it’s far lighter to push around than a gas mower. I’m hard on blades though with so many sticks and pine cones, no matter how many I pick up I always miss some.

        I agree nice and light.

        It’s not really equivalent to a gym membership, although I have to do a fair bit of Hungy Hippo’ing if I leave it for too long.
