So far, I really like it! Shipped quickly. Easy to use, has a nice, light yet solid and tight feel when using. Quiet running. Seems to have plenty of power (cutting and self-propel). Super easy height adjustment. I mow a fair-sized city lot plus an area in the roundabout in front of our property (approximately half acre or so all together) and it just barely switches over to the second battery when I'm almost finished. Like many reviewers say, the timing in the self-propel release is a little awkward but not a problem once you get used to how it works.
The machine is very easy to use. I can do my full 1/3 acre lawn on one of the batteries. Machine is heavy but with self propulsion there's no trouble maneuvering it.
I have had the mower for about 5 weeks love it so far it shocks me every time i mow how well it works as you dont get the audio feedback of a gas mower.
Had it 2 years. Great mower, I have a 1/2 acre, I do back of yard using one battery, charge it while I start the front, and a water break, When the other battery runs out I swap it with the charged one. I just saw they have a riding electric. May look into it for next year, looks great.
I bought my first home and needed all the dang tools. I have a small yard and among other reasons, a gas mower wouldn’t go through the gas fast enough to justify the purchase. Plus I wanted a better option. This mower has been great - no less than any gas mower I’ve used (and I started mowing lawns at 8) but also much quieter. It also has an automatic “surge” mode when it detects the grass is longer or thick, it will power up to blow through it; saving battery power and energy. The battery is more than enough for my 1500 sqft yard and hilly terrain; I can get two mows off of one charge. I also have the string trimmer (weed wacker) too and it is also excellent. All things considered, this is way more quiet, environmentally friendly, and far easier to use than a gas powered mower.
A good replacement for a noisy, smelly, gas hungry John Deere

It works as expected. We had a John Deere similar mower and hated the noise and smell and gasoline. The Deere had a 54 inch cut which was nice, but with all the other downsides, the Greenworks is far better. Batteries last a long time — after mowing 2 acres, we had 65% left. The mower is very quiet with mainly just the sound of the blades turning — and it runs well. It is easy to turn. We found the low speed setting for the blades was fine, but the high speed for the mower speed worked best for us.
