However toward the end of the summer/fall mine developed an issue where it would just turn off after a few seconds. I don't know if the safety disconnect is malfunctioning or what, I haven't taken it apart to mess with it yet, but apparently the turning off thing isn't an uncommon issue.
just a heads up for anyone considering. Something is wrong with mine and it's never been mistreated. It just keeps turning off. I'm gonna mess with it this spring and try to figure out what is going on with it.

As a couple other commenters said, it does not like thick/tall grass. A couple passes, at least, might be needed.
The one issue I had was the battery went bad but I was able to get a warranty replacement without issue and they let me keep the bad battery (it originally came from DTO) so now I have a bunch of 18650s to use in misc. projects 😀

You've heard the old saying don't fix what isn't broke? Notice how every year Ryobi changes something on the previous years model? That speaks volumes to me. They're not improving, they're constantly trying to re-engineer the previous years crap.

Got a electric one and never looked back. It's not self propelled but it's easier to push since it's so light.

Never changed the gas, only added more 89 octane each mow, never running it dry.
Filter change yearly.
Oil change every 3-4 years when it goes dark.
Sparks only when the tip is obviously worn - again every 3-4 years.
20+ years and the only thing that's broken is the pull cord, replaced once.
....
The aqmd REBATE for socal is really tempting - can get up to a $250 rebate, meaning a free $250 battery mower!
But no matter how I do the math, the simple fact that the battery needs an expensive replacement every 3-8 years makes battery mowers a no-go for me.
Add in the mower reliability and cost to operate and there's absurdly no way to justify a battery mower for me on my 1500 sq ft lawn.
(It's like my $18.5k Versa versus any EV car. I'd have to drive 135-260k miles for the Versa to START being more expensive to run than the cheapest EV.)
A lot of battery tools for the lawn are like that unless you've got a huge lawn or lawn care business....
(And nobody's Saying what happens to all the Non-recyclable lithium battery SLAG that's going into the dump.... Hundreds of thousands of pounds of toxic waste....)
