Ryobi 40V push mower is a Lemon
I have owned a 40V push mower since June 2024 and it has broken down twice for the same problem. The Motor Control Board fails. The first time it failed was after about 3 months of use. The 1 local Authorized Service Center was able to repair it after about a month. The second failure was in September 2025, again after about 4 months of use. This time the same Service Center has had the mower for 5 Months. The Ryobi part is not in stock. Most likely because it fails so often. My biggest concern is that since this mower was manufactured in 2024, it may not be supported as long as my 5 year warranty lasts. Looking at the Ryobi Parts Store in January, I saw there is a new part number for this component, so I called the Service Center and asked if they could request the newer part. They said they only get what Ryobi sends them. Checking today I see it is also out of stock. My only hope is the part arrives by the time the grass starts growing again.
