Bought it not knowing 40V and 18V batteries are totally different. I have a pile of 18V batteries from my RYOBI drill set and none of them work in this mower.

Listing said battery included but mine arrived tool-only. Had to sort it out with customer service which took two weeks.

Bogs in thick wet grass after a couple of missed weeks. Had to make two passes to get it clean. EGO handles it better but costs more.

Customer service was slow to respond when my self-propel cable frayed. Took a month to get a replacement part.
Source: Amazon reviewerCollected in an earlier pass; not linked to a source thread.The RYOBI 40V HP Brushless 21" sits between the budget Greenworks and the premium EGO — broader ecosystem than Greenworks, more affordable than EGO, and more cutting power than entry-level options. The RYOBI 40V/18V battery confusion is a recurring real problem worth knowing going in. For buyers already in the RYOBI 40V ecosystem or looking for a solid mid-range self-propelled mower, it earns its place. For buyers starting fresh, the EGO's 56V ecosystem and superior thick-grass performance justify the ~$150 premium.
