I’ve been using battery powered mowers for years. The tech is constantly improving. My newest purchase is a ryobi 21 inch self propelled with 2 batteries. Both batteries are installed before you mow. I don’t use the bag and really don’t see a need for it. I mow with the deck set to the next highest setting. I’m on a large corner Cottage home lot with a fenced back yard. The mower has absolutely no problem mowing this yard. If it runs into a very dense patch of grass, the mower automatically kicks into a higher rpm to handle the dense grass, then settles back to a normal rpm. I can do front, sides and rear yard on the two installed batteries with running time remaining. Easy to remove the batteries after mowing and return them to the charging base to be ready for the next mowing. Not having to store and buy gas is the best. The mower is also much quieter than a gas mower, so mowing the yard in the morning is less likely to disturb my neighbors. Ryobi has a full lineup of really good quality tools in my opinion.
