I've had this mower for 5 years now so I feel like I can give a legitimate review. The mower is well built if not even heavy duty, and very convenient with the batteries and storage of the unit. However, I find that it just isn't a very good cutter.. particular with something with two counter rotating blades. I believe it to be multiple reasons... The two small blades have very little cutting surface and almost no flip to the back.. they just don't create much suction to hold the blade up or to keep the grass clippings in for multiple cuts. The inside of the deck doesn't have any interesting baffles or anything to help out either. Lastly I think the blade speed is fairly slow compared to a gas mower. You can use "Turbo", but it wears the batteries down very quickly. It does a horrible job picking up leaves in the fall, it just mostly blows them around. My original two batteries are still functional although one only seems to manage about 50% if it's original charge holding capability... The other one I would say is probably at about 85 to 90. I have since bought two new 4amp batteries to supplement the other two. Overall it's a good product, but the cut quality is subpar. I believe redesign of the blades would go a long way to fixing the issues, but greenworks doesn't seem to think so obviously..... I think this mower has been out for 7 years.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Razzy. Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review after five years of use. We value that level of insight. We are glad to hear the mower has held up well and continues to deliver on durability and convenience, especially with battery longevity over time. We understand your concerns regarding cut quality, suction, and leaf pickup, and there are a few factors that can influence performance in these areas. Over time, blades can become dull or worn, which reduces lift and overall cutting efficiency, so sharpening or replacing them, and ensuring they are installed correctly, can make a noticeable difference. Keeping the underside of the deck clean is also important, as buildup can disrupt airflow and impact both cutting and mulching performance. Additionally, battery condition plays a role in maintaining optimal blade speed, so using fully charged or newer batteries can help improve consistency, particularly when using higher power modes like Turbo. For tougher conditions such as longer grass or leaf pickup in the fall, adjusting the cutting height or making multiple passes can also help improve results. We appreciate your feedback regarding blade design and airflow, and insights like yours are shared with our product team as we continue to refine and improve future models. If you would like, our team would be happy to work with you directly to review your setup and help optimize performance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us on either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my 60v 42" riding mower, unpacked, and assembled and mowed the front pasture that was long and ragged after a dry winter. Nice cut, fast, and used only about 40% of battery. The ride is a little stiff and jerky but the cut is fast and clean. So far so good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed to ditch the old gas powered dinosaur and upgrade. Glad we did and no more air pollution. Love it's ease of assembly and use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical getting the 60 volt mower when I already had an 82 volt mower but it seems the 60 volt mower will do my whole yard with one battery on one charge whereas I needed two batteries on my 82 volt mower which was a snapper XD I'm so happy with this purchase so far it will take a use to the self-propelled system as it's different from the step Sense on a snapper you actually have to pull trigger instead of just pushing down on the handle but I think this is money well spent and I can't wait to see how long it lasts it cuts beautifully. The only thing missing that I see is a height adjustment on the handle otherwise it is so easy to put together so easy to store and fold the handle I was impressed by that.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just did my first mow and I was impressed. Good power, easier to push than expected. Eager to see how the battery holds up. Great price for the what you get.
