The Ryobi RYRM8060 comes across as a convenient electric riding mower that works well for smaller yards and regular upkeep. It is praised for quick charging, low maintenance, and easy ownership without gas, oil, or winterizing hassles. Real-world use includes mowing about 0.8 acre cleanly, with enough power for bagging and normal yard work. The main cautions are that it can bog down in thick or overgrown grass, struggle on larger areas, and battery replacement can be expensive over time, making it best suited to consistent mowing under about an acre.
People replacing an older rider with an electric mower, because long-term owners report years of use with little maintenance beyond blades and battery swaps.
Battery-tool households with spare packs, because the mower fits an existing battery ecosystem and avoids forced battery replacement anxiety.
Homeowners mowing under an acre who want low-maintenance cutting, because it handles about 0.8 acres well, charges quickly, and avoids gas upkeep.
Yard owners who already keep grass trimmed regularly, because it cuts fine when used consistently and can bog down only on overgrown sections.
Yards with dense, thick grass or neglected growth, because the blades can slow in heavy patches and the chute can jam when the mower bogs down.
Lawns with sticks, rocks, or other debris, because the thinner blades and spindles are more prone to damage from small sticks.
Buyers expecting gas-mower cutting power, because electric blades can spin slower and leave a poorer cut in comparison.
Large-lot owners who need to mow well beyond an acre, because it does not handle 1.5 acres and slows enough to bog down on heavier passes.

I mow an acre of tough growth I'm maintaining after clearing it and I treat the zero turn like a mini brush hog. It has taken a beating for years and I've had to do 0 maintenance or repairs besides blades. I may want one with tech advancements in 10 years, but I have amassed 15 batteries so far with various tool deals and marketplace finds so no worries about forced upgrade if you're in the system. Very happy to not have to deal with gas maintenance, repairs, fumes, containers, etc anymore.
I have the original hybrid 18" ryboi mower... still 15 plus years now and the original 2-4ah batteries.
I have sharpened the blade 2 or three times before needing to replace them this year. Yeah the blades are not the best but you are not supposed to be cutting rocks and tree limbs either. They are made to cut grass.
And as for the batteries, I still have them and use them for both the mower and other ryboi tools. No issues.
And sure when I need new batteries, best to find a tool and battery promo.
Gas mowers? Well I geuss I am just dumb. I usually only get 1-2 years out of them and they are toast or the motor burns/smokes out. Yes I change the oil. But then again I never bought a new gas mower, only bought cheap used ones. So perhaps that is my main issue and I really don't work on gas engines.

In fact, the new B&S mowers claim that they're maintenance free (no oil changes):

"Hassle-Free Maintenance
With a Toro, there's no oil change - ever. Just check the oil and Top it Off. "
I have a number of gas and electric yard tools. Sometimes gas is better and sometimes battery is better and it really depends on your yard. I love my electric chainsaw but I don't cut a ton with it. My electric weed eater is a pos and I'll use a gas one anytime over it.

I have gas Honda push mower and love it...had about 7 years now. I used to have a gas weed eater, then went to a Greenworks 40v dual line, never did great, 4ah battery wasn't enough to finish yard. Went to a ryobi 18v single line brushless that is night and day better. I am not a pro, but for what i need, the 4ah battery easily lets me finish my edging. What brand weed eater do you have?
