STIHL RMA 510 V Battery Powered Lawn Mower Review

[@boomersooner4643]

Huge THANK YOU for this video. I purchased this same model this week--moving from a John Deere self-propelled mower I purchased in 1999. I mowed my front yard and love this mower! No more gas, oil changes, and filter changes. I maintained my JD religiously with regular oil and filter changes. Also kept the deck clean. This is much easier with the Stihl and found the Stihl blower keeps the top deck clean.

[@ryansmith2772]

I bought one of these without doing much research on it and it leads up to the stihl name. It’s great

[@stephensingleton275]

FANTASTIC VIDEO - Thank you so much. I bought this model today at my local hardware because I trusted the brand and the level of service from the store. As helpful as the staff were and thorough in going over the mower you video was a tremendous help and provided so much useful info and tips. Thanks again.

[@cwilliams4227]

Great comprehensive review. You answered some questions I had that others didn't cover. Thank you! I'm off to buy one.

[@ronaldperron3886]

Me too!

[@johndudash2579]

Great comprehensive review! Thanks Techgooch!

[@ZachCassady1993]

I just bought my first mower ever and this is the one I bought. Your video has been super helpful. Thank you this great tutorial! 👍

[@Bluesman57]

I have 2 Stihl products (both gas, backpack leaf blower and string trimmer) and love everyone of them, but I am switching to electric for our lawn mower, after watching several videos on the RMA 510 I am definitely buying one this week. Your video made my decision easier, yes they are pricey, but you get what you pay for! And this mower is made in America.

[@Davinci12007]

It's not. Label on the mower, "Made In China"

[@largiemastermind8358]

Thank you so much for this review. My Toro powered mower as well as others leaves clippings on my Turf Type Tall Fescue. Thanks for mowing taller grass and showing the results.

[@sanfordyoder6760]

Thanks for a great review. Clear, direct and very informative. I have been researching this mower, and will be giving my Honda gas mower away, and replacing with this mower next spring!

[@RoyceJusticeJasmyn]

Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower kzbin.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

[@lynb1668]

Considering buying this mower and this was so helpful. Very clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you so much.

[@tonygreen1067]

Got mine on order. Can't wait !

[@MrProsthodontics]

Thank you for the review. You sold it to me. Best wishes from Down Under!

[@angelaandandremonfils7911]

Awesome review, thank you for doing this. You covered every question that I had, it's nice to have the answers from somebody who uses the product.

[@grantsmith8502]

Thanks for Video most helpful easy to watch , very informative uk

[@sirlonewolf816]

Hello from Australia. Very good review, you have helped me make up my mind to buy one of these machines, thank you :)

[@martinb896]

Great Review. I have the same mower. I love it. I just used quick tie on throttle. No more sore hands. Maybe not the safest but works for me. Spare battery is a must. Eco Mode, I do not use. Great mower! No more gas and oil is wonderful.

[@techgooch]

We use Eco Mode most of the time unless the grass gets really thick. I agree with having a spare battery if your yard is big enough!

[@renastein9892]

My husband died five months ago so I've been on a steep learning curve, having to do all the things that he normally did. I'd done the mowing before but not the maintenance on the lawn mower itself, so your video was very helpful. I always use a metal garden spade to clean underneath but will use a hard brush from now on, so thanks for that tip. I'm getting better at whipper-snipping and pruning the high hedges and fruit trees, but still have much to learn about those tools as well. As I live in Tasmania, our winters are cold and wet so the grass is always thick and often damp and my mower slows down as if it's going to stop, then picks up again even though the battery is fully charged and I mow often. Any ideas about what the problem is?

[@navaho5430]

You answered your own question " thick and wet" even a petrol mower will bog down, raise the cutting height and go slower, ARE THE BLADES SHARP all the best and cheers from Moruya NSW.

[@renastein9892]

@@navaho5430I thought that at first also, that it was the damp grass, but it happens when the grass is bone dry as well. I mow twice a week to keep the lawn short but the motor still seems to "change gear" which is the best way I know how to describe it, but now I just I pretend to ignore it.🙂

[@williamwintemberg]

Thanks for the video! I always look for long term reviews where the item is paid for and used by the owner. STIHL has a stellar reputation worth protecting. This is why I chose to check out this video. You did an excellent job. As you said, there's no perfect anything. I have a bunch of cordless stuff that was orphaned by the manufacturer due to a battery change that is now worthless. This is why I'm interested in STIHL. As I said, they do have a reputation worth protecting.

[@johnfarnhamexperience]

Great review and video mate... I think you've convinced me to buy one...

[@stephenorlowski5797]

I like this mower! If you look closely it looks like Greenworks makes this for Stihl. The bails, shape of the steel deck, the start button the handle , grass catcher/ bagger and wheels all are the same. There are differences the two batteries, and colors. I agree that it is a good mower.

[@spg5658]

I contacted Stihl and they make this mower in their own exclusive factory in China. Owned and operated entirely by Stihl

[@ToplineBulliesAustralia]

Thanks I made my decision based on this video of not buying any of my equipment being battery powered so I’ll stick to petrol as I like washing my mowers and I like how they are more sturdy

[@tomstribula2404]

Hey Gooch...Great video...Will be picking one up this week.....Thanks

[@freedom9041]

I've got Stihl blower that I mostly use on cleaning up snow from my SUV, or drying car, etc. I can't be happier with the quality. I am going to buy the mower now. I mostly have Gardena stuff for all my lawn care, I've got their electric reel mower which cuts the grass fantastic but that reel mower is for really lush flat lawn. My new house has got very bumpy yard so I need something like Stihl non cylinder. Don't want to buy gas mower. Bosch is non-existent where I live and I think they only make their products available in Europe but thanks God I can get Stihl products. I will be buying this mower tomorrow.

[@maureenheath7797]

Great review well done greetings from Australia

[@anthonybrindley6602]

Thank you for this video. I am thinking of buying one of the STIHL electric lawnmowers and have been trying to see what the difference is between various models. Your video has helped me make my decision

[@landscapingspecialist]

As a commercial user the ‘no heavy rain caveat make it useless. Our equipment stored inside, however does experience torrential rain at times when we get stormed on and the equipment it in the truck bed or on the trailer. So no go for me unfortunately. How hard would it have been to make the lid seal air tight? OK yeah don’t spray the bottom side of the deck but just to make it rainproof add a locking gasket-ed lid with a locking latch. WTF Stihl !

[@Seven-Seven-77]

Looks like a great mower. I’m going to invest in a battery operated mower just trying to decide what brand I would say this much and that was I would probably hit that with the hose to clean it.

[@jimprovan8866]

Hey bloke do you know if they make them in right hand drive for Australia?

[@judevivier153]

Hi, how do you get the side discharge off or open?

[@PatCulleny]

Are there widely available Stihl service options?

[@landscapingspecialist]

Lol that deck is immaculate imo! Nice review 👍🏻

[@mikesr3011]

Like the video review of the Stihl RMA510V. Did you do the review on the Kombi system as you mentioned would be forth coming?

[@ginfonte3386]

Great video, thanks. I recently bought the non - self propelled mower and like it a lot. The battery quit just before I was finished yesterday, so tried to charge it for a short time just to finish. But I could not remove the battery from the charger at ½ charged. So after charging to full all night, this morning I was still unable to pull the battery out. Is there some release mechanism I'm missing?? Thanks.

[@Davinci12007]

STIHL - For the record, label right on the mower, "Made In China" Those saying it's "made" here," it's not, It might be designed here, but it's not made in any way shape or form, in the USA.

[@spg5658]

I own several items made by Stihl in VA Beach (not this mower). Some folks have posted that it is made there but other say China. I haven't gone to see one in person to read the labels or box etc.

[@ElizabethWeston]

very thorough review, thanks

[@OSRS16]

Thanks for the review!!

[@barpatron]

3 years later…is this mower still going?

[@aliso-pv7ll]

Is the screw [or bolt] to remove the blade left or right handed thread? Where is the best place on the web to buy a replacement blade?

[@aussiecoastie72]

Great review ! My Dad is buying this same mower and I’m curious as to how it goes .

[@SuperMagnumguy]

Good job with the video, I think you have tipped the scales….I’m going for one today.

[@bayls8422]

Is the mulching mode beneficial for the grass?

[@ronrheude6176]

Did you find a good brush for cleaning the underneath or grass side of the mower deck? You mentioned it in your video.

[@georgedavall9449]

Wow, where did you get those shooooes??? “Steely Dan” Geesh And he mowed in them!

[@davidlearoyd2248]

Hi thanks for the video it was helpful ...one question do you know if the motor is brushless ? I cant find that in the specs anywhere.

[@stephenw2992]

I just asked a dealer here in Australia and they said it is brushless.

[@stonefish4583]

Loved the review mate! I've been tossing up whether to get one and you've pretty well convinced me it'd be a good decision. Would like to have seen you use the catcher on that thick grass which was pretty much the only thing you didn't cover. Thanks though!!!

[@zakaihenry4797]

I realize I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch new movies online ?

[@andersbodie5165]

@Zakai Henry Flixportal :)

[@zakaihenry4797]

@Anders Bodie Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it!!

[@andersbodie5165]

@Zakai Henry no problem =)

[@franks8408]

Great, detailed review. Thanks much.

[@lillacooper6676]

Great, thorough review, thank you :) I truly agree about the hand grip design! Why, Stihl, why? You're better than this! That thin, metal bar kills my hand tendons with the constant, quite firm pressure needed to keep it in place :(

[@youhen01]

I use the self attaching Velcro strip that comes on the charger cord. I wrap that around the handle and then when I start the blades I wrap it around the bar and then it’m stays on by itself. Then all you have to worry about is the drive controls

[@stephenmcdonald338]

The toro is better... deck wash etc. The handle is way more comfortable. More powerful motor. All steel from shaft to blade. More heavy duty for the odd stick or twig. The stihl is cheaper but not by much... and it does have a couple of advantages like eco mode but overall the Toro wins.

[@winstonian88]

I’m already invested in DeWalt, but it seems they build terrible mowers (re-badged Black & Decker I guess). Anyway, good video. Thanks.

[@jamesdavies1070]

My one died after 4 years. Tried brand new battery etc. Motor is stuffed and Stihl can't fix them. Going back to a two stroke.

[@toddbrackett4277]

Can you use a deck wash out.

[@kylesnavely6165]

Great overview, thanks

[@landscapingspecialist]

Did throw down a decent cut. Especially seeing how high and wet it was.

[@Shew0000]

And always store your batteries fully charged and keep then indoors.

[@craigduffy5026]

is it ok with really wet grass?

[@landscapingspecialist]

Definitely clean the deck when the grass stuck to it is still wet like you did. This way it doesn’t get a chance to dry and turn into green concrete 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@chill22740]

Cable cuff on the blade control and no more discomfort

[@djcubical]

I am going to get this.

[@brendahampton9013]

How come all U.S A reviews are done on front lawns resembling cow fields.

[@techgooch]

Haha!! I will incorporate my hilly back yard next time. Easier to film the front, but you are correct!

[@mauriasabbado]

Was this video filmed with the new a7asiii + sigma 24-70 ? 😃

[@techgooch]

That is correct.

[@facundorimoldi5027]

at what cut level was the machine

[@joeyggonzalez9563]

Battery mowers are not made for wet grass is made to cut grasses after 4:30 pm making sure grass is full dried so it doesn’t do what miss on that grass in the vid that’s why battery mowers have lights ( that’s the secret 🤫)

[@randomrazr]

wonder how they compare with ego

[@thebundybear5557]

Literally just said this on a different review. Just put a velcro strap around the blade engage to the handle. I dont know why you'd need to be engaging/disengaging the blades all the time.

[@yonojolt1627]

Gloves? Eyes protections? Feet protections? No?

[@jordanjohnson5784]

Lol... Bruh he's just mowing the lawn not deactivating a nuclear reactor. Yes I personally wouldn't mow in sandals... But c'mon. I bet you're real fun at parties. 🤟🏼🔥😆🤣

[@bobstobaugh851]

enjoy your amazing review videos... but I have to tell you... I'm a operating room trauma nurse and we never want to see people cutting the grass in flip flops. Get some shoes.

[@redbeard9896]

Should have used the side shoot🤔

[@jonathanlapierre5254]

490$ us ?

[@paulneri835]

Good review. But next time please wear boots.

[@techgooch]

🤣

[@Pjbelman]

Not to be repetitive but i just bought one myself and the wife will be using it .So i wont be in the dog house

[@kenrobertson9570]

not good shoes to mow in

[@bertraminc9412]

Dude! You’re standing on a weed bunch at the entrance of your garage! You just don’t get it!

[@spg5658]

Great product other than the stupid design as you said regarding the bar that activates the blade

[@hobbytake2845]

Don’t mow in sandals!

[@denyswoodroffe490]

Not recommended foot wear to be using a lawn mower. I guess they are ment to cut the grass. Kiwi

[@Wrath89]

I've had this mower for just over a year....and unfortunately, I hate it. - The cut quality is awful...and the clipping pick-up is the worst. _ I need to double-cut my lawn consistently to get a nice clean cut - This is with me cutting weekly and no more than 1/4-1/2 inch off at a time. Im done with it...bought a honda last week

[@wildgoobsid5]

I love reviews that say” I bought this myself” subtext: “it’s the only one I’ve used, I don’t have anything to compare it to but I’m an expert. I’m only trying to make money on KZbin by sounding like I’m an expert”

[@CA34562]

Far out! He really cant win, can he? If the units given to him.. then the videos biased. If he buys it himself, then he's just "pretending" to be an expert. At what point is it acceptable for a video to be made? If i can use your own phrase against you.. I'd say; "I love viewers that look for any justification to make negative comments on everything" subtext "I'm a miserable human being just looking to spread my misery".

[@andrewclarke5670]

Good video, but I’ve had mine for a couple of years and it’s crap. If the lawn is thick it cuts out. Stihl dealer was uninterested when I raised my concerns. Don’t buy it.

[@ra7502]

Dislike - Mowing in sandals.

[@Appytail]

This think has bad review everywhere on the internet. Basicaly, a rebranded Greenworks (Yes A rebranded Greenworks) with a price tag to match ... I also have a Kombi kit, gas & Electric, but I'm never gonna buy this Stihl. I will spend my money on the Milwaukee mower instead.

[@fireballxl-5748]

Blah blah blah......when do you get to the point?

[@mikesecor6074]

at the end of the day, batteries are crap.

[@mikeblank5139]

Why the H***, are you wearing sandals, and operating a Lawnmower ? .

[@ZachCassady1993]

I just bought my first mower ever and this is the one I bought. Your video has been super helpful. Thank you this great tutorial! 👍

[@PatCulleny]

Are there widely available options for servicing for Stihl products?
