Ryobi RLM4617SME 175cc Subaru from an innovative power tool manufacturer
When it comes to power tool makers, few companies are as innovation driven as Ryobi. It’s not every day that a garden tool is powered by an engine designed by an automaker, but for the RLM4617SME, that’s true. This push mower is equipped with a 175cc Subaru engine, which provides enough power to get the job done.
The Japanese car giant has over 60 years of experience and it shows in this engine. As powerful as it is durable, it’s definitely one of the lawn mower’s strongest selling points. Mention should also be made of the versatile cutting mechanics. The Ryobi RLM46175SME has all current mowing methods up to the T, including mowing, collecting and mulching.
The mulching function is supported by a side and rear ejector, which is relatively rare. This allows you to recycle grass clippings very efficiently. The grass bag has a capacity of nearly 2 cubic feet and provides enough room to mow an average sized lawn without half emptying it. Thanks to the large rear wheels, this Subaru lawn mower is also easy to manoeuvre.
You can choose from seven different cutting lengths ranging from 0.7 to 3 inches, and if you get thirsty using the Ryobi on a hot summer afternoon, you’ll love the cup holder. This Subaru lawn mower review would not be complete without mentioning the possible drawbacks. Weighing around 77 pounds, the mower is a bit heavy and not as fast as other mowers. The engine is still excellent and cuts the grass very well, so these are probably minor flaws rather than real issues.
