Excellent mower with enough power for what you need, batteries last an hour for me, it’s enough to do half acre at once i had the 16 inch one, upgraded to this one, came with spare set of blades and was very easy to assemble. I’ve got all yard tools greenworks. You can’t go wrong with them
This thing is a beast. To be honest this is my first riding mower I’ve ever used, but I am so happy I went with the electric route. I live on a half acre, and this mower allows me to mow my full lawn twice per charge. This mower just powers through my thickest grass, even when still wet and/or damp. The batteries charge from totally empty to full in just a little over an hour, which is insanely fast in my opinion. A great perk to the electric riding mower is when the blades are not engaged, the tractor rides silent, making for very relaxing yard work sessions, and makes hauling yard waste/materials a breeze. If you’re on the fence, go ahead and get this GreenWorks Mower, you will not be disappointed.
This is my first lawn mower that I ever owned. And it’s just great, very quiet no hassle with gas and yet is still a strong machine. Definitely recommend.
Got this as a battery powered backup to a gas lawn mower. Definitely wanted the feature of self-propelled with sufficient power to match the gas lawn mower.
When the product arrives great care has been taken to see that it travels safely, it comes on a metal pallet. We are using it for something else. The machine is brilliant. I was worried about the battery and the charge, could I complete my lawn. I have 1/3 acre and have mowed it twice n one charge. I got more than they advertised. The ride is great, my lawn looks great.
I have predominately Bermuda. This machine has a hard time getting through this type of turf without constant stalling. It seems the grass builds up while munching and seems to get stuck under the machine until it stalls, then all the grass falls out. This does not seem normal to me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello SuperDave33,
We're sorry to hear about this. A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower. Not only does a sharp blade provide a cleaner cut but it also helps clippings to discharge appropriately. Be sure to check the blades and to sharpen them or replace them at least once per year. In addition, mow only 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, clump up and will not appropriately discharge. Be sure to clean the deck underneath of your mower as well, any build-up of debris could affect the performance of the unit and prevent proper power. Do not spray water under the deck of the mower. For caked-on grass, use a scraper to get rid of the grass and then you can use a damp cloth to wipe off and loose pieces. Finish by wiping with a dry cloth and if you have a steel mower deck, spraying lightly with a silicone spray or lawn mower deck spray.
Here are a few other tips as well to achieve the best cut:
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order 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) Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater. 4) For best results keep the grass under 4" in length and walk at a slow but steady pace to allow the blades to cut efficiently.
