Ryobi 36V Brushless Mower

[@Amouselives]

Just after the 5 minute mark, I see you made comments about the grass catcher nylon bag versus the older plastic design, I see your point, but wanted to add I have used a Ryobi 36/40V mower for years now and can give you a helpful tip, when the catcher is getting a bit too dirty for your liking, rinse it off well with a hose, and toss it in the washing machine and hang to dry. I have been washing my nylon grass catchers for over a decade this way (12 years on my Honda and 7 years on my Ryobi) and they come out of the wash like brand new. No dirt or grass whatsoever. Line dry for about an hour (more than enough) as the material holds on to little water at all, and store again. Honestly it sounds harder than I've already made it out to be. Takes me less than 5 minutes and I just wash them out together along with some shop/car wash towels. Done.

Great idea!

I have the model before this for roughly 2 years now. It was my first electric mower. I was impressed overall. I treat mine rather rough and the grass is usually very long. The first thing to go was the rear wheels because it's a plastic sleeve, not bearings. I'm still using the original set, but it flops around and won't last much longer. With longer grass, the eject chute doesn't flow very well, and often clogs. You can see it leaving debris and also revving higher even when you're not moving/mowing. I agree about the width of the handle and the clips on it. I'm always getting caught on trees and branches. Would probably buy again when it dies but I'd look at the self propelled model and some aftermarket wheels with bearings.

Good review of the tool!

[@michellemcdonnell5197]

I appreciate the time and effort you put into your reviews. The attention to details..It’s refreshing to see there are other people who think like me 😂

[@OmniGarage]

Thank you for the feedback and pleased you like the content.

I’ve got the 18v 40cm mower. Cheaper than the 36v range. I use the 9ah and 6ah combined. More than enough power and enjoyable to use. Would never go back to petrol.

[@OmniGarage]

Same here

[@jason66ize]

I brought one yesterday,very happy with it

[@OmniGarage]

Enjoy your new lawnmower!

[@scubasteve4001]

I’m in the market right now to buy an electric mower and I’m definitely thinking of this one.

[@OmniGarage]

Yeah I really like it!

[@walterwiniana]

Thanks guys I appreciate the video, I'm thinking of purchasing the mower 👍👍👍

[@OmniGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it, enjoy your new mower!

[@KiwiLawnie]

It's a good looking machine!

[@OmniGarage]

It’s not bad looking for an electric lawnmower! Some look pretty odd and out of place, this one not so much.

[@kentkjrgaardjensen4304]

Could you please do a test with the mulch plug instead of the bag. I can't find anything anywhere online on how well this machine mulches and if you could just run it without a bag if you just mow the lawn more often, like 2 times a week like you should with a mulch mower. :) Im hoping its able to cut so the grass isn't just lying on top of the lawn with the mulch plug :)

[@pket124]

To use the lawnmower without the grass catcher, do you need to do anything other than simply not attach the grass catcher? Thank you!

[@OmniGarage]

It will not work. Something has to be attached to activate the mower. Either the catcher of the mulching kit.

[@snoognz]

Thank you for the video, I’m looking for a mower and this one looks pretty good for the price I can get it for. Cheers🤗

[@OmniGarage]

No problem 👍

[@TimFisher-c8j]

Literally can’t figure out how to put the bag on it’s like it doesn’t fit at all like it’s way too small

[@OmniGarage]

The metal end fits into/ slots into a groove at the back where the grass comes out. The catcher has to fit into the groove for the mower to turn on.

[@robertlanz3124]

How do you clean the blades, can you use the hose or will that stuff up the motor.

[@Carolanne1926]

Im definitely thinking of buying a battery lawn mower for my medium yard but i don't no which one is the best are the self propelled mowers better

[@OmniGarage]

I haven’t had any experience with self propelled sorry. Seems like it could be a nice function.

[@tarno3]

I’m curious to know if the lowest setting on the mower goes lower enough to scalp the lawn when it comes to Reno season?

[@OmniGarage]

Probably not. This is the only mover I have so have to deal with it. Other mowers may go lower.

[@RichardGeresGerbil]

Why would you push the mower into the fence just use a line trimmer

[@jaimeb5550]

My height adjustment only goes half way... Like 50... Am i missing something. I cant see what would be stopping it.

[@OmniGarage]

Might be worth getting the store to check it out.

[@denyswoodroffe490]

The partruding handle parts could be on the inside, so they will not catch on fence posts etc. over all the machine looks very flimsy. What will it look like in ten years time?

[@OmniGarage]

I’m sure it’ll be replaced by something better in 10 years time!

[@bretteastley5407]

How does this perform as a mulcher, without using the catcher?

[@OmniGarage]

The mulching plug prevents the grass being feed into the catcher. Instead the grass is pushed down into the ground.

[@bretteastley5407]

@@OmniGarage Thank you. But does it mulch well?

[@brettyg76]

When are you doing the vid on the 36v blower?

[@OmniGarage]

We are editing as we speak, just have a few clips left to film showing how it performs drying vehicles - should be out within the next week or two max!

[@denyswoodroffe490]

what about a self drive unit, for us elder citizens.

[@OmniGarage]

They do make a self propelled version.

[@CrystalNinja07]

"comes with a 46cm Di**" Hehehe. Can't help myself.

[@ajgreen868]

This is the older model?

[@OmniGarage]

Depends were you live. New(ish) here in NZ

[@denyswoodroffe490]

Have you thought of an electric robotic mower?

[@OmniGarage]

It’d be interesting to test one out.

[@johndarcey]

Don’t buy this lawn mower. The non standard level setter slips and drops, causing circle flat spots in your lawn, and dangerous for many reasons. After a few months I took mine back to the store and got a refund. If you are ok with a terrible mowing experience, then the convenience of standing it up against a wall is great. Ryobi replaced this model with a standard level setting mechanism which is….. ok. But it feels pretty horrible to mow… sluggish. Wouldn’t recommend.

[@LaserProjekt-jh8rv]

could you give me link were i can bay this machine ?

[@OmniGarage]

I’m not sure which area you live in. Your local RYOBI website will be a great place to start.

[@uefamikep]

46 centimeter what? Excuse me? That's huge

[@OmniGarage]

😂🫣

[@Carolanne1926]

Plastic catchers are way better

[@OmniGarage]

Easier to clean!

[@denyswoodroffe490]

A higher end mower would prevent the problems you are having. This cheap chines machine is not the answer. It will not last long. You have seen this already.

[@OmniGarage]

So far so good, hasn’t let us down yet!

[@thedownunderverse]

Paid promotion

[@OmniGarage]

Nope.
