Our verdict
Ryobi 80V HP 54
The 54-inch 80V HP is Ryobi's big electric zero-turn, and the standout feature is how you steer it. Instead of twin lap bars, it uses an iDrive joystick you control with one hand, which most people find far easier to learn, and it pairs that with power equivalent to a 42 HP engine and a genuine four-acre range on a charge. The fabricated steel deck, suspension seat and Bluetooth display round it out, and Home Depot's 300-plus service centers ease the usual electric-mower support worry. Recharging takes five hours and it is still a homeowner machine at heart. For a big lawn where quiet, low-maintenance mowing and simple steering matter, it is a compelling option.
