We have the same mower and it's so much better than our old petrol one. Our whipper snipper takes the same battery, so if the battery dies half way through a big mow, I can just go and grab the other one off the charger, no need to wait for it to recharge. The first day I used ours in the front yard, our neighbour across the road came over to have a look and bought an electric one within a couple of weeks.
I have had mine for one year and I am going back to a petrol lawn mower. Good. Definitely not good. Consistently they stop working and they definitely do not now like the petrol lawn mowers. You have to be delicate because they are light and flimsy. Not hardy like the petrol mowers. This is the fourth time now and I have to research why it stools when I start to mow my lawns. Very frustrating. My family has the 18 volt and they have the same issues. I have the 36 volt. Do not buy one. I am very surprised with you saying these are good lawnmowers. Total crap 💩
I think if you’re stalling lots, you’re probably mowing very short/low. Try raising the deck and see your grass come alive. Also, if your grass is super thick or long, try two runs, one at say Height 5 then at Height 3.
My battery went in our mower and I was dammed if I was going to pat $299 for a new one but thankfully I found a place called Batteryexpert here in Aus that were selling a no name one for $129
Be careful buying third party batteries. Some can be worth it price for performance or how long it last. But some cheap ones are more of a scam, stop holding a charge after few charging cycles
I believe it’s time for a season three update. My mower has been put into dormancy because I upgraded the model to one with the self propelled & crosscut blades. The six amp hour battery is awesome and the five amp battery from the model you have in this video now sits beside the 6 am battery and hardly ever gets used 😂 the four amp hour battery that came with the crosscut mower sit in my line trimmer, and I alternate that between it and my 36 V blower. Needless to say I have completely bought into the Ryobi 36 V ecosystem.😂 not regretting it yet the line trimmer did develop a crack in the metal shaft, but Bunnings replaced it. No hassle.
RLM36X46S52 is $629 at Bunnings now. Similar looking RLM36X46BL is $499. Main difference I can tell is 4Ah battery vs 5Ah. Any opinion on the two given $120 difference?
I would buy the 499 pack and keep my eye open for a spare battery. Bunnings sell two 36v 4Ah batteries for 299, so you should be able to pick one up cheap enough somewhere.
Yeah that sounds like a nice deal. I've been breaking the mowing up into two sessions anyway, so if you're happy to do that for your block, the 4Ah should suffice.
The $629 one has slight extra feature of some kind, extra level on settings. Not enough to really be a real difference, main difference is bigger battery.
Hi there. Great video - thanks. I'm looking at upgrading from my 18V Ryobi. Have you had any problems with the catcher not catching grass properly, or clogging? (Some people complain of the grass chute to the catcher being to small / narrow)
This is somewhat true, there has been at times that the chute has clogged up and the catcher is not full when I check it (and the indicator is saying that it's full).
I have always thought of buying one of these. I watched your first review one year ago and you was very pleased with it. Looking forward to watching this when I get time.
@@VroomBroomZoom I had a big feeling you loved that mower. It's so unusual these days to find a product that we can be 100% happy with. You should do more non motorbike reviews. You have a very easy to understand voice and speaking manner. Have a happy new year mate.
Mine just died at 3.5 years old (well it still worked, but the ignition switch died so it didn't turn off). It was exchanged for a new one, no questions asked 🤷♀️
