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.
The mower can stay low-maintenance compared with gas options by avoiding gas handling and routine engine work.
The mower can handle about 0.8 acres well when mowing consistently and keeping blade speed high for bagging.
The mower can pull attachments like a plug aerator and dethatcher without bogging when paired with upgraded lithium batteries.
The mower can be used for years with simple upkeep such as annual blade replacement and straightforward winterization steps.
The mower's thinner, lighter blades and spindles can cut worse and may be more prone to damage from small sticks.
The mower can bog down or jam the chute when mowing longer easements unless mowing is done in progressive passes.
The mower's blades can spin slower and speed up in dense patches, which can produce a poorer cut versus a gas mower.
Battery replacement can become expensive over time, which can make replacing batteries less attractive than buying a new mower.

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?
