[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mower is powerful and fast. The string trimmer and blower are great. More than enough battery power for my 1/4 acre lot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had about a month, have used all but chainsaw. I bought this for the simple reason that I don't have to pull a cord to start any of them. I'm not on any environmental kick I have bad shoulders. The battery life seems very good so far.
I just purchased this unit 8-24-23 just put his unit together it was very easy to put together i was very happy with that, I loved the fact it had convent compartment area to put the attachments, my only issue is that when i used it for the first time it was lagging some i thought it was me on my end but i had everything hooked up correctly and plugged in correctly, i cut the machine off and waited a few minutes then turned it back on and it worked fine. I do wish it had a little more pressure but electric power can't match the gas power, with all that said i am happy because me a small female i don't have to pull at a cord to crank up a gas power ( I can't pull at cords because i have issues with my shoulder) so this works for me and what i need it for!!!
This works really nice as a blower - but you can't leave the battery in it, even unused, for two days - as the unit drains the battery completely. Initially, Greenworks said the unit was defective - but then changed their mind and said it's normal. I have many cordless tools - and the battery does not self-drain. I have a friend who is an EE and an industrial engineer for a major mfr - he says the motor controller is either defective or poorly designed. Either way, it's a hassle to remove the battery after every use. I expect better from Greenworks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello toolman tom,
Thank you for taking the time voice your concerns. We do advise customers to remove the battery from the charger after it has been fully charged and to also unplug the charger from the outlet, as this is good electrical safety practice to do so. This will also help to prevent false defects reading and allows the charger to reset itself each time it is used to charge a battery. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place. Following these steps will ensure you receive the most of the battery life. Hope this help!
