It’s nice having 25”. I can’t imagine mowing with the 21”. The batteries are kinda heavy to change when carrying both in and out. But they charge great and super easy to install.
We purchased this mower last month for a 2nd home in NH. The lawn was really over-grown because the 17" gas mower the previous owners left behind wasn't really "cutting" it. I cut through around 1 1/2 acres before the batteries started losing strength. I charged the batteries for a couple hours, then finished the yard. The mover cuts evenly. The self-propel works great on hills once you get used to it. Super glad I purchased this mower!
Good look finding replacement blades. Even the parts department can’t figure out the part number for the blades. Don’t hit anything, will probably be a few years before you can find replacement blades.

Hello Garrett P
Thank you for taking the time to voice your concern. The part number for the blade is R0203256-00. To purchase, please Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. In the meantime, the blades may be sharpened! Touch-up sharpening can be done with a file. Check the blades for balance following grinding. A commercial balancing tool is available through most hardware supply stores, or balancing can be done by placing the blade on an inverted line punch or 1/2" bolt. The blade should not lean or tilt. While spinning the blade slowly, it should not wobble. If the blade is out of balance, tune it up before reinstalling. Lay the blade on a flat surface and check for distortion. Replace any distorted blade.

After our gas powered mower started falling apart, we finally took a chance and tried going electric. I've only used it about 5 times, but it is a game-changer! Quiet, efficient and holds a charge. We also purched a 60v chainsaw, so have a backup battery when needed, but for normal length grass I am able to complete our large property and still have a charge. Love it.
I purchased this for cutting grass at my cabin . It is very light weight which makes it easy to load and unload. It performs as advertised and battery life is great.
This worked great until I hit a rock and needed a replacement blades. According to the service line, they are back-ordered out to a month, making this very expensive purchase useless for a good portion of the summer. Great products should be serviceable in a timely manner.
