[QUOTE="Kenneth Braud, post: 3632234, member: 46858"] My neighbor has a Ryobi electric 40 VDC 20" mower. They are ALL PLASTIC. (except motor and blade, obviously) It mows very well and he can finish his large corner lot with 1 1/2 batteries... it comes with two. I've used it on my postage stamp lawn and it does well. My issue is with the batteries. How long will they last and how much does a Ryobi 40 VDC battery cost? Over time probably as much as the initial cost. All the motor does is power a very light weight (1/2 the weight of a gas powered mower) blade (doesn't require the weight and torque of a gasoline engine) and the transmission for propulsion. Easy start, easy controls, easy storage. A lot to be said positively for it. My 20+ year old lawnboy has given me great service and still does. Sharpen blade 2-3 times/year. Grease Wheels, Use proper fuel mix, Change filter and fuel lines regularly. Found out after first 5 years what parts need attention and it is cleaned after each use. Never spent over $10/year for fuel and oil and the chassis is in great shape. [/QUOTE]
