Over promised, under delivering

The mower works fine. However, the batteries only last 20 minute approximately each. I have two batteries and both can’t mow a lawn pass ‘minute. A great reminder for me not to buy anything else electric or lithium powered.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Manny Mortgage,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower.
It is important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life! This unit is advertised as running up to 40 minutes (w/ included 5Ah battery), but it goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains. Here are a few mowing tips to help achieve the optimal run time.
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months.
3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily.
4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. 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.
5) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed. Self-propelled mowers do use more battery than standard push mowers as more power is being demanded from the battery to run the blades and the wheels.
We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution. All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

Love this mower!
on August 5, 2023
Posted by: no mow gas
from Florida
Gender:Male
I bought this mower about two months ago and have been mowing twice a week in Florida and I have had no issues. I have a quarter acre lot and I use about 3/4 of 1 battery to double cut my yard. The cut is very good and it is comparable to my gas mower. The only downside is that when you use the self-propelled function and you stop you cannot immediately back up as it seems to stay in gear. If I move if forward a foot or so then I can back it up but that may just be me getting used to this machine. Outside of that, I find this to be an excellent mower and a great value for the money. I also find the build quality to be excellent and the Turbo option is very useful for mowing through some very thick St.Augstine grass.
Pros: Durable, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Powerful Enough
on August 3, 2023
Posted by: mohner23
from Dallas, TX
Gender:Male
I wanted so badly to like this lawnmower since I already have the Blower and Weedeater and love them. This summer I finally made the switch to the electric lawnmower with high hopes, but have been disappointed. I had new Zoysia sod laid back in March/April and it has been growing very well, enough where I have to mow twice a week. However, even with raising the deck, the lawn mower still gets caught up and shuts off. I've tried bagging, mulching and exiting and I have the same problem. Super frustrating as I've never had this issue with my gas mowers. Regret.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This company does not listen to customers
on August 2, 2023
Posted by: ii50
from utah
Gender:Female
I bought a self-propelled model and the self-propel didn't work. Greenworks will not take my lawnmower back but want to send me another one, minus the batteries and charger, which is the whole cost of the mower. I requested to return the batteries I had to them, but they don't listen and want to send me another lawn mower. Now I'm stuck with a non-functioning lawn mower in my garage that I will have to pay to have taken to the landfill, along with 2 giant boxes to dispose of. I am 73 years old and don't want to deal with any of these issues. I don't know why their customer service does not listen to me and do what is right. I am very disappointed in this experience. They told me it's not returnable because I used it for 5 minutes. What kind of warranty is that?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very good battery powered mower
on July 26, 2023
Posted by: R Crose
from Orlando, FL
Gender:Male
This is the 3rd year of owning this unit. It does a very good job on my yard which is level and about 30' by 40' on the front and 25' by 30' on the back yard. The grass is mostly Floratam (centipede variant) and some sections have Bermuda grass. The 25" cutting swath allows you to put the wheels on the edge of the last cut and still have good coverage. It is definitely noticeable in the amount of time to cut the yard over a 21" or 22" mower. Here are what I consider pros and cons.
Pro: Quiet, good cutting, good run time with the two 4.0 ah batteries and the most important has been the reliability I have had with this mower.
Con: The slowest self propelled speed should be slightly slower. The adjustable handlebar height should have a little more options on height adjustment. The unit has back wheel drive and so that tends to allow the front to raise right as you start as the unit appears to be heavier on the back side. Lastly, it would help in weight distribution and also turning ability to have castering wheels on the front.

I talked to a neighbor into buying one after letting him borrow mine. He had two units that had problems but customer service definitely took care of him. This 3rd unit has been owned for a year is performing like mine
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

features it doesn't have
on July 23, 2023
Posted by: TERNEAL
Gender:Male
I love this mower for the features it doesn't have: no gas tank, no oil, no spark plug, no carburetor, no pull rope.
As far as I can tell it is maintenance free, except for cleaning. No waiting for engine to cool before cleaning with hose. Just flip it over in any position to hose down without any fluid leakage.
Has more power than my Honda GSV 190 mower. With self propulsion at full speed, you would almost have to jog to keep up.
The only adjustment is the very easy height adjustment that is done with one for all four wheels.
After using this mower, I would never consider going back to gasoline engine.
BUY IT

This is a great little lawn mower

from York ME
Gender:Male
If you have a small lot to mow and limited space to store a mower, this is the lawn mower for you. I have been using for two years now and it has performed flawlessly even cutting very high grass. I use the mulch plug and it chops the cuttings into a fine mulch to fertilize the lawn. I can get two mowings on a 5amp battery before I need to charge. I am waiting for a replacement blade which has been out of stock for some time.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

Posted by: Dllsmith
from Edwardsville Il
Gender:Male
I bought the zero turn back in April 2023. I had ankle surgery in March and by the time I was able to get out a little bit. This has save me a lot of aggravation. I have 2 acres and my garden is far away. Not being able to walk good. I park my mower I garage . I use it like a motorized wheel chair every day. The front hitch is great. I have a trailer hooked up. I can drive around , pick up sticks or cut low branches and put in trailer . Since my garden so far from water outlet. I put barrel on trailer. Use my 60 v greenwork inverter. Small pump plugged in. I can spray flowers and vegetables within an hour. Saving me from having to walk. Totally satisfied with all my greenwork products
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe
