Given the size of the blade and bag catcher, that estimate seems about right, but with these batteries, I think a quarter acre is quite rather optimistic. Ryobi says that the 18V ONE+ Lawn Mower is designed for yards that are a quarter acre or less. I never got more than 20 minutes of runtime from a fully charged battery. Ryobi estimates that each battery will last 40 minutes, but what I found was that they averaged far, far less than that. The blade length is 16 inches, which is quite a bit smaller than most entry-level, gas-powered, push mowers that are usually 20 or 21 inches. How big of a yard is this mower good for? As I’ve mentioned, the grass catcher is pretty small. I typically kept the mower on the third lowest setting, and that worked pretty well for my yard. It has seven different mowing heights, anywhere from 1.5 to 4 inches in height. On this Ryobi mower, however, all I have to do is use a lever located on the side of the mower it simultaneously lowers or raises all four wheels. On my gas-powered mower, I literally have to use a wrench to remove the tires to change the height it’s horrible. Perhaps the coolest feature on this mower is its height adjusting mechanism. As long as the grass was dry, however, it worked just fine. When I mowed grass that was damp, the bagger didn’t work very well, as all the grass jammed at the back of the mower. The airflow out of the back of the mower isn’t very strong. At least it’s easy to detach the bag, empty it, and reattach. I found that on average it only took just over two minutes to fill up that means I’m going to be doing a lot of stopping and emptying.

It’s attached to the mower using a pair of metal clips, which is a standard approach. The bag is a typical nylon bag that allows air to flow through while blocking the grass. As I want to add the grass clippings around my blackberry bushes, most of the time I choose to use the bagger instead. If you want to mulch, there’s a plastic plug that can be inserted into the hole in the back of the mower. The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Lawn Mower can either mulch or bag.

I figured out how to assemble this mower, but it’s safe to say that I did so despite this manual, not because of it. The pictures are small, the steps to take are unclear, multiple languages are mixed in the text and make it hard to read, and so on. It’s got a 1980’s vibe to it, and the style is not very helpful.

The mower arrived partially assembled, so I started with the mower manual to see how to finish the assembly. Ryobi included three different manuals, one for the mower, one for the charger, and one for the batteries. Thankfully, as far as I could tell, nothing was broken or missing there was, however, one random screw in the bottom of the box, and I still have no idea where it came from. Ryobi has a lot to learn about protecting large pieces of lawn equipment while they are in transport. In addition, the single strip of lightweight tape that held the box closed had mostly popped apart, leaving a good bit of the box top open. The box was quite thin, and it had clearly taken a beating during transport.

When the box arrived, I was a bit fearful for its contents. Overall, there’s nothing new or interesting about this design, but as the old adage says, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Installation and setup The grass-catcher bag hangs off the back of the mower, and it can be replaced by a plug when mulching. On top of the mower is a compartment for the safety key and the battery.

Its coloring is a mix of black and Ryobi’s signature bright yellow along with liberal doses of Ryobi and ONE+ branding. Nearly every visible part of the mower is plastic, except for the handle bars, the metal bars for the bagger, and the metal bars used to change the height of the mower. The Ryobi 18V ONE+ Lawn Mower looks like every other battery-powered lawn mower.
