You can find the self propelled refurbished on ebay from tools direct for under 300 with 2 6ah batteries. It is the 21" version. Got mine for 200 with 1 battery last fall. Just bought one for a buddy for 270 including tax on ebay. Seller always has 30% off deals going on.
How does Ryobi's warranty come into play if buying from eBay?

Bought one two years ago. Still going strong. Cuts just as well as my old gas powered mower. Nice thing is no more gas to deal with, and it's super quiet, so I can mow at 7 AM Saturdays and not really bother my neighbors.

Like another poster above, I have 1/4 acre and it can do the entire lawn on a single charge, but if I let my grass get too high, it sometimes doesn't complete the job at once.

Only complaints I have with mine is the pull out knobs that allow the handle to fold down have a pin that hold them in place that would frequently fall out. I had to eventually replace them with small cotter pins so they would stay in place. The other complaint is the mulch plug/bag have to be seated just right or the mower won't start. But those are minor issues compared to changing oil, replacing filters, and having to run to the gas station.

Edit: I have a slightly different model than this one:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI.../311084745

So my comments might not be exactly right for this particular mower.
I have this one too and it works great for my small yard. I can get multiple full cuttings on a single charge. Blade was super dull from the factory, but maybe that's normal and easy to fix. I bought mine last August and the folding pins have been OK...maybe they have fixed them?

I will say, it has less "suction" than bigger/older gas mowers I have used in the past. If you run over a dandelion that's kind of laying down, it might stay down whereas a more powerful mower might have enough updraft to lift it and chop it.

I hadn't actually mowed a lawn in a decade before buying it (apartments) so I can't make as many direct comparisons, but I love how quiet, easy to use push around, and low-maintenance it is.

The one in this deal seems like an improvement given it includes side discharge. Saw one in Home Depot last weekend and it looked nice.

These things are so easy to push that there's no reason to want self-propulsion. Maybe with a bigger/hillier lawn, but then you're probably going to look for a bigger mower anyways.

Getting John Deere riding mower (from my previous house owner).
Should I sell that and get this one? Lawn has some slopes.

I bought this model recently, brand new. The first one I bought had an issue where it would not stay powered on unless the handle was in a very precise position, so as soon as you push or pull, the mower would cut out. Seems other reviewers had this problem as well.

I went and swapped it at the store and the second one worked fine. Seems just as strong as a gas mower to me. I'll recommend getting an extra battery though. I got a refurbished leaf blower with a 4.0ah battery from another post here, really only because the battery was practically free, and I need both batteries to finish the front and back of my yard. Average sized lawn.. You will likely need a second battery if you're taking more than the ~40 minutes or so.

Years ago I had an electric mower, very disappointed as it only worked well on short pretty dry grass, and would bog down even on slightly wet grass. Have these things gotten better or should I stick to gas?
I work in the industry and the tech gets better and better every year. It's frustrating because what was great last year is trash this year and you end up having to spend a chunk of cash every year.

I am pretty sure ebay seller tools_direct is the same as directtools online store. Should be the same 1 year refurbished warranty. I have never had an issue with any item I have bought from this ebay seller

Picked up the slightly newer model (RY401180VNM) from Direct Tools Outlet and here's my first impression:

Tried it on a test pass around the lawn and ran into some issues with the self-propelled functionality:
- There was a noticeable delay before it would engage
- When it did engage, it was rather jumpy
- When mowing the edge of the grass where one wheel was on the grass and the other wheel was on the concrete, the wheel on the concrete didn't really grip and wanted to spin out, making it significantly more difficult to control vs. when both wheels were on the grass (a major issue, since I'll be primarily using it for the edge of the yard next to the curb that I have difficulties getting close to with my riding mower)

Not sure if this is functioning as designed (but just designed poorly), or if I just got a lemon.

They are better but still not even close to a good gas mower.

I have a Brushless Ryobi and it doesn't really mulch. Grass clippings are fairly long and leaves don't get ground up very well.

If I lived in a nicer neighborhood I would probably have to go back to gas to not be the guy with the ugly lawn. (Or bag, but bagging sucks.)

Not having to deal with gas, oil, carbs, etc. is really great though. I would hate to have to go back.

Here is what I will say. I got the self propelled 2nd gen? Mower? It doesn't have the pin that gets pushed down when the handle is unfolded.

There are LOTS of repair videos that tell you how to bypass this bad flaw,etc. Very easy fixes.

I will say that the 2nd gen (I'm guessing) also has a. It of an issue with the handle wanting to collapse. I tend to hit it when going in narrow spots. Not super often, but maybe once every 5 times mowing.

One thing no one has talked about is that these are so light that the I think they are great gifts for the elderly.

I have an 80 year old lady neighbor that does her own lawn with this mower. It's great to stay active and also something they wouldn't be able to had it been gas. Gas is so much heavier.
