So easy to take out of box, charge and start using. As an older first time mowing lawn and with almost half acre to tackle, I was delighted at how well the self propelled feature worked. Looking forward to years of use.
I have always had a gas mower and tools, I first switched to the GW 60v blower then got the chainsaw for small projects and even the trimmer when my gas one died. This season I was going to replace my mower, my last gas tool, and really shopped around and when I bought this one. I even told myself I will just return it if it doesn't perform. I am happy to say 3 months in and cutting every week, I am pleased with the mower. My .33 acre yard can be cut with just the 5.0h battery however having the backup battery from my other tool is nice to have as sometimes I forget to fully charge my 5.0 battery. The positives: Its quite compared to gas, the wife loves it and it make you realize how loud the neighbors gas tools are. The bagging option works really well even with wet or heavy grass. The negatives: The self propel takes a second to engage, then when you use it and let off it you need to rock the mower to get the back wheels to release as they are locked to only go forward so you can't pull back. This just takes a few cuts to get used to it then its fine. Overall this is a great tool with plenty of power and lives up to the claims on the GW website! I rarely give a product 5 stars but this product lives up to the hype.
I’ve been mowing for 50 years with a gas mower and was skeptical about buying this but boy was I wrong. Cuts great and I only use half of the battery. Well built and I love it. Cuts my southern Bermuda with ease.
New house, new sod, let it grow out a bit to establish roots and all that good stuff. Was able to cut with no problem. Impressive power coming from an electric tool.
I sure wish I went with Greenworks sooner! This product is incredible! No more worrying about enough gas in the can. I don't have a shed or garage and used to cover my old mower with a tarp. I can now keep this new mower in my basement without worrying about gas. This mower is attractive and extremely affordable. An excellent investment! Do it and don't look back!
I bought the first gen 40v mower, blower, trimmer, chainsaw, and the 2000psi power washer 7 years ago. I have used them HEAVILY! No maintenance, and all run perfect. Literally perfectly. Batteries haven't even lost any charge. I also rarely ever write reviews but I want this company to keep on going because when I need to buy more tools, I want to buy Greenworks. Seriously, it's quality stuff, and for a really good price. Buy this stuff not the imitators. The Chainsaw especially impresses and the mower. The trimmer is a good trimmer but not a good edge, maybe they fixed that since the first-gen. Other than that is 5 stars all around. I am not exaggerating. To be fair like I said, except that edger function being anemic on the trimmer, and the blower not being super strong (it's not meant to be) the stuff is great.
I've cut my lawn twice with this, and the cut is good with no noticeable stragglers. Mower is quiet, with really only the sound of the blade the only thing. Cut height is very easy to change, which is a real strong point. Blade is sharp and light.
The only niggle is that the self-propulsion takes a couple of seconds to disengage the gears to the wheel, meaning that you can't maneuver around obstacles easily without having to anticipate that you may need to pull the mower into reverse and release the propulsion lever early. Given the mower's lighter weight compared to my previous gas mower, I will probably not end up using the propulsion as much as I expected, anyway.
