Ryobi 20 in battery self propelled II
 

Back again but with a new mower. This one starts and runs but the blade is not cutting all the time. It is w waste of time to try to mow.

Customer serviced is closed until Monday.

Any easy fix suggestions? This is very frustrating.

Thank you for any replies.

The battery is fully charged but the mother seen very weak turning the blade.

Is the grass too long for motor?
Could try on shorter grass.

Is the mounting bolt tight to prevent the blade from slipping?

Shear pin sheared?

Sounds like the on-going business of selling the general public some expensive unproven defective product,
while the manufacture sits back and says: 'Will, that didn't work, lets try something else".

Best suggestion would be to return it and get a gas mower.

Sell your mower, hire someone to cut the lawn for you for a couple of bucks a month. When the humidity and heat comes more frequently you be glad you did.

Take that “mother” back . Did you order online or buy in a store. Not a great idea to buy items such as a mower online. If you take the piece of junk back to a store you can get some instant results

Where do you find a grass cutter for a "couple of bucks a month"?

Google the problem and there is an issue with the Ryobi. Take it back for credit and purchase a better proven brand. Ryobi is known for small cordless tools not lawnmowers.

I just went through 3 lawn mowers Ryobi--battery run--350.00 model-due to the blades not working--(Home Depot) -they upgraded me to the next level--499.00---cuts great--there is something wrong from factory on that model--just happened last week..No I don't know the exact model 20 ?21?--just price-

I have been researching battery mowers.

The new Milwaukee battery powered mower is apparently super powerful, good enough for commercial..but will cost you quite a bit more than "a couple bucks a month". Have also seen the E Go mower is good (not as powerful as M) for residential yards and costs less than the Milwaukee.

I'm currently using a 13 year old Honda and thinking another year might result in more advancements in battery powered mowers. Plus, my Honda is running like a champ!

Any chance the blade is mounted flipped over? So the cutting edges are not the leading edge.

Idk the answer to your problem. But if it turns out you need a new mower the battery powered self propelled cobalt works great on our St Augustine lawn. 2 years now and no problems.
