Ryobi does everything here

Had a 9 year old mower of theirs
New one is better than any Gas I've used
Got a new timer end to my old base.
So good
Big Ryobi fan, but small yahd

No love for Stihl eh?

I've been pretty happy with my DeWalt 60v string trimmer until last week when the motor began smoking then stopped working. I never used it for more than 5 minutes at a time and was only on my second spool of string (from new) until I ran it last week about 20minutes using up a 9 amp battery, about 2 minutes into the second battery the motor began smoking. I wasn't abusing it and it had done far less than I'd done with a 2 stroke trimmer. If they didn't sell for $250 I'd toss it in the trash but motors are available for about $90 so I'll fix it and use it sparingly.

Yeah, I've always had good luck with Stihl stuff for sure. The electric arena is different imo. A milwaukee, dewalt or any other major tool battery platform gives you so many options in which to use one battery. Professional use changes that possibly dependent upon specific features and benefits of particular tool(s).

I picked up the Milwaukee mower a month or two back after my Toro shit the bed. I have about a 1/4 acre of lawn and as long as I don't let it get too overgrown in between mowings I can do it all on a single charge with the included 2x 12ah batteries. Really happy with how it works - sticks in quiet mode unless you go through thick stuff, then it automatically ramps up to high speed mode.
Definitely more powerful than my brother's Ego mower, but cost about twice as much too.

Battery Powered Lawn Tools

My LawnBoy - best mower ever with the best self propel in the land, so good that despite using it for several years, my kids had no idea it was self propelled - died the afternoon before we were leaving town for two weeks and we were already behind on mowing. Wirecutter and CR liked the EGO and it was in stock and on sale at Lowe’s, desperation made easy. Went ahead and got the weed eater too.

The mower is fine. It’s plasticy and rattles like it’s going to fall apart, and the self propel sucks, but it mows well and handles thick grass well. The blades are pretty flimsy but seem fine for normal mowing. The kids use it the most and they like it.

The weed eater is pretty sweet. Tons of torque and the power string load is awesome. You gotta remove a few bolts, but it folds up and fits mostly into a backpack for stealth trail cleaning missions.

I have several Stihl battery chain saws (which are clearly the highest performing of the various options) so already having the batteries, I bought their top of the line self propelled mower. Works great, powerful, easy adjustment (single lever) with no issues in a couple of year’s use.
