PowerSmart V8622S Self-Propelled Mower vs Ryobi 40V HP Self-Propelled Lawn Mower

Buy the Ryobi 40V HP if you want a lighter, quieter mower with push-button starts, variable speed and a wider cutting-height range. Buy the PowerSmart gas mower if you have no battery platform, mow close to half an acre in one go, or want a steel deck and more torque in tall, wet grass. The Ryobi is easier to live with day to day and owners report low maintenance; the gas unit cuts wider and runs as long as you keep gas in it, but it is heavier, louder and needs oil and pull starts.

• Choose the PowerSmart 22" gas mower if you want unlimited runtime, a 21-inch steel deck and strong torque for thick or wet grass without depending on a battery.
• Choose the Ryobi 40V HP if you want a 43 lb mower that starts with a button, runs quietly, and gives you variable speed and cruise control.
