Ryobi ONE+ RLM18C33B25 (18V, 2.5Ah, 33cm)

How long does the 2.5Ah battery last during mowing?

The 2.5Ah battery typically provides 20-30 minutes of continuous mowing time, depending on grass conditions and cutting height. For lawns up to 100sqm, this is usually sufficient for a complete cut. Thicker or longer grass may reduce runtime slightly. The battery recharges fully in just 1 hour, so you can complete larger lawns with a brief charging break if needed.

What does the EasyEdge feature actually do?

EasyEdge technology draws grass from the side of the mower into the blade cutting path. This allows you to mow right up against fences, walls and garden borders without leaving uncut strips. The feature works by creating airflow that pulls grass towards the blade, eliminating the need for separate trimming in most areas. This saves significant time and creates a neater overall finish.

Can I use other Ryobi ONE+ batteries with this mower?

Yes, all Ryobi ONE+ batteries are compatible with this mower regardless of capacity. You can use 1.5Ah, 2.5Ah, 4Ah, 5Ah, or 6Ah batteries. Higher capacity batteries will provide longer runtime - a 5Ah battery could potentially double your mowing time compared to the included 2.5Ah unit. All ONE+ chargers work with any ONE+ battery as well.

How much space does the mower take up when folded for storage?

When folded, the mower reduces to approximately 60cm in length and 40cm in width. The handle folds down completely and the grass catcher collapses flat. This compact design allows storage in small sheds, garages, or even large cupboards. The folding mechanism is quick and tool-free, making it practical for regular storage after each use.

Is this mower suitable for uneven or sloped lawns?

The mower works well on gentle slopes and slightly uneven terrain typical of most domestic lawns. The 33cm cutting width and lightweight design provide good manoeuvrability around bumps and dips. However, it's not designed for steep slopes or very rough ground. The multiple cutting height positions help accommodate minor level variations whilst maintaining an even cut.

How does the cutting height adjustment work?

The cutting height adjusts using a single lever that can be operated with one hand. Five positions are available, ranging from 25mm for a close cut up to 65mm for longer grass. The adjustment affects all four wheels simultaneously, ensuring an even cutting height across the full width. The lever locks securely in each position to prevent accidental changes during mowing.

What maintenance does this cordless mower require?

Maintenance requirements are minimal compared to petrol mowers. After each use, clean grass clippings from the deck and blade area. Check the blade periodically for sharpness and damage - it can be sharpened or replaced when needed. Keep the battery charged and store in a dry location. There's no oil to change, spark plugs to replace, or fuel system to maintain like petrol alternatives.

How does the mulching function work on this model?

The mower includes mulching capability, which finely chops grass clippings and redistributes them back onto the lawn. This returns nutrients to the soil and reduces the need for fertiliser. To use mulching mode, remove the grass catcher and ensure the mulching plug is fitted. The feature works best when cutting no more than one-third of the grass height at a time.
