I bought a used Ryobi model to get me through the season, and it was convenient enough that I haven’t used my gas mower since. I’ve long been skeptical of battery-powered mowers, but finally took the plunge last spring, after being impressed when a neighbor brought one home.

Milwaukee says the mower delivers more max torque compared to a 200cc gas mower, and also surpasses those models with “instantaneous throttle response” for both the drive and blade motors, along with the ability to maintain blade speed without bogging down during thicker and more challenging cuts.
