The Ryobi 80V zero-turn electric mower was one of my alternative picks on the list of best electric mowers, and after doing more research, I can say that it is the best electric zero-turn on the market. The 80V batteries can be swapped out for 40V tool batteries, so you won’t have to worry about keeping special chargers and cables on hand to top up your mower when not in use. It also makes the Ryobi 80V easier to integrate into your garage or workshop if you don’t have any other Ryobi tools or equipment that could share a battery with the mower. The battery gives you enough power on a full charge to mow up to 4 acres, which is excellent news for anyone with a larger yard.
It features a 54-inch cutting deck with three sets of blades for a more even cut on each pass, and the deck can be set to 12 different heights for the perfect mow all season long. A control panel lets you monitor battery levels, turn on the LED headlights, mow in reverse, and even charge your phone with the built-in USB port.
Since the Ryobi 80V zero-turn mower doesn’t have a gas engine, you’ll save time and money by not having to do oil changes, spark plug cleanings, or fuel treatments at the start and end of every season. And no gas engine means no exhaust emissions, making this a more environmentally friendly option for lawn care.
