Following a recharge, it lasted almost exactly the same amount of time when I put it to work finishing off the lawn. The grass on my test lawn hadn’t been cut for about two weeks, thanks to the great British weather, but wasn’t particularly long, yet the Ryobi One+ Cordless 33cm Lawnmower ran out of juice halfway through the job. However, in my testing, it only managed half that. Ryobi says it should be good enough to cut a 200m2 lawn, which is on the small side but seems reasonable for the bundled 4Ah battery I was provided with. There’s a big problem with the Ryobi One+ Cordless 33cm Lawnmower I used, and that’s the battery life. Image Credit (Trusted Reviews) Performance The 33cm cutting width is wide enough for a suburban lawn, the unit isn’t too heavy and is easily carried using the built-in handle, and the grass collection box collapses for storage. On the outside, it’s a good-looking machine, the Ryobi colour scheme of lurid green and black is attractive, if that’s what you look for in your tools, and is broken by the bright red of a jumper-style key that’s required to get the mower going. Ryobi claims there are more than 200 tools in the One+ family.

They’re part of the One+ system, meaning the batteries can be used in all other One+ tools you buy, such as grass trimmers, car polishers, cordless drills and more. They’re more than the standard black rectangle, with a stem that clunks securely into the mower in a way that looks upside-down if you view the lawnmower from the front. The Ryobi One+ Cordless 33cm Lawnmower is fairly standard with four wheels, a handle, spinning blade underneath and a grass box on the back, but its batteries are more interesting. It’s a nice looking mower with a decent cutting width and a clean cut, but provides some of the worst battery life that I’ve seen from a rechargeable mower. Ryobi’s One+ Cordless 33cm 18V Lawnmower is available on its own, but mine came in a pack with the One+ Cordless 25cm Grass Trimmer and a single battery to use between the two tools.
