The deck has a lifetime warranty though. I believe EGO uses a plastic deck as well, and I've had no issues with that for 3 or 4 years now.
It features dual active battery ports and includes two 40V 6Ah batteries, providing up to 70 minutes of runtime which is ideal for yards up to ¾ acre.
Not to mention, a metal deck will eventually rust. My 15 year old Crastman I replaced had a few holes in the deck. I think these plastic decks will outlive the mowers.

I bought it and got a confirmation saying it could take 8 days to ship, but I'd get a shipping confirmation when it did. Less than 24 hours later it shipped and they never told me. They ignored my email to cancel and I had no idea it was coming until it showed up on my doorstep.

I recently bought this mower for a lesser deal at $375 (thought was decent at the time).

First I will mention, check your local utilities. My electric company offered an extra $30 rebate when buying a battery powered mower, helps with the cost a bit.

It took a while for me to get a working mower. Fedex damaged the first one and I had to send it back. DTO took a while to process the return and send me a replacement, I had to call a few times to get the ball rolling, not happy about that. The replacement mower had an issue right out of the box where the back wheel rattled and locked up sometimes (this was blemished, not refurb). This time I called Ryobi and took it to a local licensed repair shop. Sure enough, it was just a nut floating around in the wheel for some reason, after that, I was good to go.

I have only cut with it twice so far. The quality of the cut I think is in par with my Toro gas mower, but I have not mowed anything very high yet. I have 1/4 arce lot and the the 1st battery died just as I finished my final pass my first time mowing. Even with a 1/4 Acre, I think 2 batteries is a must as a safety net here. I think that is where the real value comes in with this mower. I also picked up an extra 4ah battery was a blower for $70 a few weeks back from DTO. You can't beat these price.

The automatic walk is a little slow for my taste, especially coming from Toro Personal Pace. But considering a Toro with 2 batteries could run you over $750, I think the value is really there with this mower. I have had clean consistent cuts so far and the vertical storage allowed me to keep it along side my gas mower still, as I am not really to say goodbye to that mower just yet.

For the price, personally I think you can't beat it. It is quieter, easy to move around and is so easy to start and stop, it can make mowing a relaxing experience. Also for anybody new to battery mowers, you can use the automatic walk without powering the blade. It comes in handy more often than you might think.

Can someone tell if this is a better deal or the $215 one which is factory bleminshed
Both are the same % off. The factory blemish is just so they can sell cheaper but should be basically new.

It just depends on what you need. The $300 one comes with 2 batteries, which it needs. Trying to use 1 battery wont really cut it unless you have a really small lawn. The $300 mower will last 70 minutes (advetised) so using only 1 battery would only last ~35minutes or less if the run times are accurate.

The $215 model can run 42 minutes as advertised on 1 battery.

I was debating the same thing, ended up deciing the $300 model wasnt necessary since my lawn isnt very big.

Am now deciding between the $215 model and the $167 model. Both have similar run times, the cheaper model is not self propelled and doesnt use HP technology.

How important is self propelling if your lawn is small?

Why would you want plastic blades? Let alone carbon fiber? Explain the benefit

Other than overpricing and not as rigid as sterl

plastic blades? what do u mean? the blade is not plastic. The deck is made out of some plastic compound but as mentioned here this is actually a better move vs. steel.

Quote from dman918 :
I currently have a Honda gas mower (hrr216) that's terrible. I mow once a week and the mulching just ends up as a clumping mess. It constantly dies out from grass getting stuck inside, etc. Is this electric mower going to be even worse power wise where it can't handle it?
I just got that one. Happened to me twice on the lowest setting. I was abusing for sure, grass was almost 6 to 9 inches, wet as I was doing it early morning. I increased the deck height to 2nd lowes, honda was able to handle it.
I know gas vs. wired / battery power one debate is controversial. I was hesitant few years back, took some time to get used to of Gas small engine maintenance. Once you know what to do, it is really piece of cake.

Is 40v powerful enough for thick fescue grass?

Are the batteries interchangeable with other Ryobi 40v tools?

Got this one on Friday, got that delay due to high volume email. Wanted to cancel and get the dual blade model for $70 more. I think I'll just keep it.
