Green Deals: Mow your yard with a RYOBI 42-in. battery zero turn + bagging kit at $350 off, more

As part of its Memorial Day sale, Home Depot is offering the RYOBI 42-inch 75Ah Battery-powered Zero Turn Lawn Mower with Bagging Kit for $3,850 shipped. This is a $350 discount from its normal going rate and is the best price that we’ve seen on a bagging-equipped mowing bundle. If you’re still using a walk-behind electric mower, or maybe a gas-powered ride-on, it’s time to upgrade. RYOBI’s riding mower features the ability to handle up to 2.5-acres on a single charge of the battery, meaning you’ll never have to worry about oil or gas again, even on larger properties. It also includes both the rear bagging kit as well as high-lift blades, which are required for the aforementioned attachment to work. Plus, with zero turn capabilities, you can finally cut perfect lawn stripes like professional crews do. Rated 4.3/5 stars.
