Was hesitant about getting a battery operated lawnmower since my St. Augustine lawn has some pretty thick areas. On regular blade speed and high self propelled speed the mower runs right through the lawn with no problems. Once self propelled kicks in I basically just have to guide it as I walk behind it without having to push at all. Mowing during the hot summer days is so much better easier with the Greenworks mower. The two 4.0amp batteries that came with the mover plus the 2.5amp I can get through the whole yard which is just under 3/4 acre.
Have only used our new mower once but already it is more comfortable than our 20 year old gas mower. It may be a little lighter but for sure the higher position of the handle makes it easier to push. Our lawn isn't huge but it takes 20 minutes or so, and it still had about 1\2 its charge left afterwards. The single lever height adjustment is pretty slick, as is the folding handle. Not sure the benefit of the LED headlamps, but I may have to try some night mowing.
Cuts my entire yard with battery life to spare. Did not want to deal with gasoline storage and the smell. Was afraid a battery powered lawnmower would not be up to the task. Bought the walk behind because thinking it would save battery life. Turns out it wasn’t needed. If I had to buy another Greenworks mower I would get the self propelled. Also bought the weed trimmer. I usually trim the yard first, then drop the 60v 2.5 ah battery in the mower. Get about 1/8 through before it automatically switches over to the 5 ah. After finishing the yard I still have 2 bars left (out of 4). Very happy with the purchase.
This is a great lawn mower it cuts great! The hitch receiver in the front is a nice feature. It’s a little bit a rough ride going over roots but not bad.
It’s easy to handle very light weight and at my age (74) no pulling to start it or worry about handling gas can to fill it. I love my new green works battery operated lawnmower.
It has plenty of power. Batteries lasted for three mowings for a half acre lot, plus I moved a boat trailer with it using the hitch receiver and the ball from My truck.
