Yeah I think it makes the most sense, if we didn’t have Ryobi power tools already would maybe have gone for something else but I think it makes us stuck with that brand for now

Ryobi garden tools are actually pretty good, superior to their power tools. I use Makita power tools, but have 4 Ryobi garden tools (mower, strimmer, blower and vacuum), only thing to note is that the mower does eat batteries if your grass is long or wet.
On a side note Ryobi are owned by the same company that owns Milwaukee.

I have had a Ryobi 18V ONE+ mower for about 5 years now, here in Christchurch, purchased from Bunnings. Not one of the current models, similar in looks but takes 2 batteries. Good enough for our requirements, struggles with one of our lawns that has some strange wiry but fluffy grass but otherwise OK. I don't really cut anything too short, just regular long trims and I am not worried about it looking too perfect. I do sharpen the blades now and again. Ease of use is great, just slap in some batteries and off you go. I have other Ryobi tools so batteries always charged.

Yeah so I’ve gone for all the same brand so that I can switch batteries it makes it easier + body only are often available on eBay etc so you can sometimes get a good deal. I think it’s worth it
