Very easy to use!

published

I was skeptical on purchasing this as it had a Subaru engine and Dad had always told me to buy Briggs&Stratton lawn mower but I can't fault this!
Starts on the first pull every time.
The mulching capability is awesome!
I don't think the hubby has mowed the lawn since we've purchased this! :)

This is a great mower

published

Great and easy to use mower. Like how you don’t have to mix the oil and petrol together. Very easy to use for females. It also comes with a mulcher if you don’t want to use the catcher. I live this mower over most of them. This mower has a great Subaru engine

Good but not Amazing

published

What I don't like about it is, The back lip juts out a bit too much past the back wheels. So going down steps the wheels don't reach and the metal at the back screeches down the front of the step. Other than that. It starts every time and runs super smooth.

So far so good

published

I wrote a review on this product when I first bought it and was having problems with a sticky spring loaded kill switch at the bottom of the starter cable, which wasted the best part of a weekend before I realised what was happening. For some reason it was not published. Anyway after three months of use the kill switch no longer sticks and now it starts first time every time. Am happy with the machine, but still disappointed that Ryobi never bothered to respond to my minor warranty claim. Also the kill switch operation needs to be identified/described in the operating manual as it would have saved me a lot of time. On the bright side, it forced me to read up on 4 stroke lawnmowers and I learnt a lot.

Powerful machine with flaws

published

The motor on this mower is nice and powerful but is let down by the catcher design. Grass doesn't seem to flow through to the catcher like every other mower I have had and if there is any dampness in the grass, it just clumps up around the blades, which means sometimes I've had to stop the machine and clear it out by hand. Mower always starts easily.
Mower ended up leaking fuel from the primer bulb after a few months. Chose to get a refund and not to get the mower replaced.

Starting troubles

published

Many good reviews but I must of bought a dud. Spark plug constantly oils up and can not start. Have to clean the plug before I use it nearly every time. Air cleaner is clean. New plug hasn’t fixed the problem. More clippings come out the sides of the catcher then stays in.

Very happy except for the catcher design

published

Awesome mower, well built, starts first pull all the time, awesome silky smooth subaru engine with heaps of torque.

Only gripes:

1. poor catcher design doesn't have a lower lip like other brands, so a big clump of grass clippings gets stuck in the mower whenever the catcher is removed. Ideally the catcher could be a tad bigger too to reduce the number of trips to the bin.

2. Offset front and rear wheels. Sounds silly, but the front and rear wheels are slightly offset, making it harder to cut up along a straight fence, path, kerb etc (mower tends to keep turning into the fence, path, kerb etc).

Ryobi mower 190

published

Heaps of power! But the axel broke on the 2nd time I used it. Bunnings were great and swapped it over for a brand new mower....when I got the 2nd mower home it was missing the catcher. Bunnings are shipping a catcher free of cost. Apart from that it’s actually pretty good.

Great Lawnmower

published

Mower is great love the following
-cuts like a dream
-strong engine
-easy to maintain

Probably a one of the best lawnmowers i have used.

There is one small annoyance the catcher tends to block up super quick which can lead to pressure on the engine i think if they offered a new catcher that jas been modified to there customers this would go a long way.

Ryobi mower

published

I Picked one of these Ryobi mowers up from bunnings, have had it a few months now and I am very happy with it. It does a nice clean cut I rarely use the catcher as the mulcher works great. I would definitely recommend this mower if you are thinking about purchasing it.

Ok mower if you can handle the dust

published

Good mower if you can put up with the annoying poor catcher. Blows more clippings out of it than end up inside the thing, poor sealing to body and all seams don't catch grass. Engine seems ok but only used 3 times, already regretting the purchase myself but may work for other where lawns aren't close to outdoor entertaining areas. As I said motor is strong and may contribute to the excess clippings & dust, but definitely don't purchase is you don't enjoy sweeping & dusting for the next hour after finishing lawns

Starts and runs for 15 seconds then backfires and fouls the spark plug. Great Chinese product!

Replace plug regardless, just been through this. Plug on a tester may read ok but under compression falters.

I'm dealing with this to mate. Such a temperamental motor. Loves to back fire now as well.

I have just solved this problem with a replacement spark plug. Had checked timing key, tappet settings, cleaned carburettor, checked spark plug, still hard to start and back firing. I replaced the spark plug and problem solved. Just guessing, I assume the plug malfunctioned under compression pressure which I understand can happen. Hope this helps.
