Both models embody Ryobi's commitment to innovation and user-friendly design, making them popular choices in the competitive market of outdoor tools.

The RY09905 is a gas-powered push mower known for its robust engine and efficient cutting capabilities. One of its standout features is the 159cc engine that delivers powerful performance while maintaining fuel efficiency. The mower’s 21-inch cutting deck allows for wider swathes, reducing mowing time without sacrificing grass quality. Moreover, it employs a 3-in-1 cutting system, enabling users to choose between mulching, side discharge, or rear bagging to suit diverse lawn care needs.
