UPDATE 8/21/2015: Since this article I have mowed my old city lot. The Ryobi mower blazed through the grass with little effort. The Ryobi batteries have four green LED indicator lights that show power usage and after mowing only one of the lights on a single battery had been used. If you have a city lot this is more than enough mower for you!
ORIGINAL: Again with the utopian energy dream!? Well, yes, I must admit that I am truly excited about the battery/electric revolution. To my consternation it has been taking much longer than I expected… I always repeat the refrain “Don’t worry, the electric revolution will happen in the next couple of years!” Wholeheartedly believing my own prophecy. Last winter I dove into the tepid waters of electrification fully expecting to come out holding my head in pain. Luckily my experience with the Ryobi 40V Snowblower met and exceeded my, admittedly low, expectations. It was exciting to see a battery powered product actually work as its gas powered counterpart! Since then I purchased the Ryobi 40V Lawn Mower. After all, the snowblower gave me two batteries that already work with the mower, why not give it a try?
