RYOBI18V ONE+ Cordless Lawnmower and Grass Trimmer Kit (1 x 4.0Ah), Green

I loved this product for my yard however my front and back yard are smaller. I used it on my friends yard to see how effective it was since his grass was nearly 3 feet tall. It was not able to cut it down with the mower but the trimmer was able to cut it down. It also took me charging the battery 4 times since his lawn is larger. My smaller yard did not require it to be recharged at all. I had about 2 hours use with my mower and 30 mins with my trimmer on my yard. When his yard was just getting a regular maintenance it took 4 hours hence why i had to charge it more. Still it was highly efficient and convenient. The mower was also easy to handle and collected the mulch easily.

After reading many reviews about performance I finally took a risk on this. So far I am not disappointed.It comes collapsed and is easy to assemble in about 10 mins. The Grass Trimmer feels flimsy but also nice and lightweight. This requires a Phillips screwdriver to attach the guard.The lawnmower itself is very light which is something I was looking for as I had to lug my old one up several steps.I pre charged the battery which takes around an hour using the intelligent charger base. Then went out to give it a run.My lawn wasn’t long. I cut it around a month ago so it was starting to look like it needed trimming again. The back lawn itself is 6m x 9m; So fairly average I'm guessing.At first I thought I had a faulty mower as I pressed the trigger and the mower made a bit of a whiring noise then stopped. Then I tried tilting it back a little which worked. I’m guessing as it’s battery you need to give in 2 to 3 seconds to spin before lowering it. After that I had no issues.The cutting power of the solid metal blade is great. The trim of the grass is level and the attached grass box picked up without any issues leaving no mess behind.The Ryobi mower is really light to push which made the job much quicker than with my previous qualcast wired mower.Battery life…. Well.. I got 3/4 of the way through before an audible change of pace happened and the 4ah battery had depleted. Luckily I have other Ryobi Tools so attached a spare 2ah Battery which allowed me to complete the remaining 1/4 of the lawn. Worth bearing in mind if you are buying this without other batteries to hand!Changing the battery over took seconds so it’s not cumbersome at all, and I like the safety key feature to prevent accidents.What used to take 40mins with setting up wires, extensions, dragging wires around and making sure you didn’t run over them now too around 20mins. So much quicker! So much lighter. I even did the front lawn in 10mins start to finish (getting the mower out of the garage and putting in the battery) in a race against the rain 🤣.The free grass trimmer, whilst it feels cheap is actually really good! Again not having wires like on my old flymo one meant I had walked around the garden, trimmed the edges in under 5mins. Nice and lightweight and simple to use.Overall:Pros: lightweight, good quality, great cut, TIME SAVING!!Cons: Ideally you need a spare battery (Ryobi or aftermarket) - that is literally the only “Con” I can think of.For £234 which I paid for this on offer price for both a mower and trimmer I am very pleased.UPDATE:- Second mow of the year. This time the grass was of a “Normal” in need of a trim. One battery did the job. Great cut. A fraction of the time it would have taken with my old corded mower. Happily recommend this product.

Lightweight, battery operated, better than having to trail cables behind you and risk of cutting them through, really good offer, very pleased

Spent ages looking at reviews on different cordless lawnmowers from high end to budget and to be honest this confused me even more.In the end I decided to pay a little bit more and went with the Ryobi lawnmower/strimmer deal, plus the wife liked the colour!Took minutes to assemble and even though the battery wasn’t fully charged I gave it a go. And I can safely say I very happy I spent the money. It’s lightweight, easy to manoeuvre (even for the wife). It cuts really well and bags the cuttings better than my last lawnmower. We have quite a large area of grass but even on 1 bar of battery it managed to last for at least 1/3 of it . Best lawnmower I’ve ever bought and would highly recommend it.

Firstly this Robyn lawnmower works well, it cuts nicely and picks up the mowings very well.Why have I only given it one star!I purchased a Ryobi 18V ONE+ Cordless Lawnmower and Grass Trimmer Kit with 1 x 4.0Ah battery and charger. The mower had a broken cable clip and one of the threaded handle clamps was cross threaded, however, I was able to put the mower together. The battery took 4 hours to charge, using the included charger ( Robyn spec say 2 hours). The battery it's self seemed different to my other older Robyn batteries. It did not clip onto the tool very well and the charge indicator did not function correctly. The battery only lasted 10 minutes before going flat. One of my older 2amp Robyn batteries lasted 15 minutes.I tried to register for the extended 3 year warranty, which failed, which has happened before with other Robyn tools I have purchased. The extended warranty registration website askes for a number, but it does not say which one, serial number, model number, order number, I tried them all and gave up. Robyn customer service is hopeless.I returned the mower kit for a refund, and ordered the same lawnmower as a bare tool so I can use my good batteries and charger. As I said it does work ok as a mower. I never tried the grass trimmer.Now I received a replacement mower, which works ok and has no issues like broken clips and cross threaded bolts, and faulty battery/charger, I think the first one may have been a return. The replacement was also packed correctly, the first one seemed to have the wrong packing and the box was open damaged.
