I have now used this mower 3 times and love how easy it is to mow the yard. I like the one handle for adjusting height on the mower also the speed control switch. my neighbors even like the quietness of it.
The Pro 60V 21" Brushless Lawn Mower works well and gets the job done. The battery charges up pretty quick and I can get most of the yard completed with 1 battery, but when the grass is longer, I'm glad I have a backup battery from my Greenworks 60V hedge trimmer.
Great product!! I purchased the mower, blower, and trimmer. Very easy to set up. Very easy to use. Battery can be used for all three! Highly recommend!
The 2-battery mower is perfect for my yard. Definitely wouldn't have enough juice for just 1 60V battery, but having the side-by-side port is ideal. Plus the battery charger is incredibly fast. I can throw the batteries in the charger while I'm getting ready, and within an hour they're fully charged. I use the self-propelled mode on my hills, which is quite a bit, and yes that does drain the battery faster but not enough to use all the energy.
A couple other nice features - the light weight of the mower makes it easy to pull out of the shed and navigate tight corners. Super quiet - my neighbor noticed the difference in sound volume my first time out. And of course all the advantages of electric - no messy gas, no pull string, easy controls on the handle.
As an aside, I also purchased a 60V trimmer, and did all my edging (about 20 minutes worth) on the same battery charge. Plenty of juice for my day of yard work.
I have been using the mower for a month or so now, and probably used it about 5 times so far. I mow my 3/4 acre on a regular basis (almost twice a week). The live of the batteries is good, and I am able to cut the whole lawn mulching the grass on a single charge. When I am finished, I just put the batteries into the charger, and get that going while I spray off the mower. I have actually found that I can cut the grass higher than before, which i like. I have sad sections of the lawn that were high, or dense, and so I turned on turbo mode which also worked well. I find that the self-propelled aspect works good, and I love that you can adjust the speed with your thumbs wile you are mowing. I also find that the drive mechanism takes a little time to get used to. It seems to stay engaged for a little while after you release the levers that makes it hard to change direction quickly. I have changed my behavior to compensate. I release the drive levers with a few steps to go as I reach the end of the row and push a few steps. This gives the mower a few steps to disengage the drive, so I can turn when I reach the end of the row. I also notice that the "vaccuum" aspect of this mower is less than my ICE mower.It is not a big deal currently because I am mulching, but expect when I am trying to use it with the bagger to pick up leaves in the fall will be trouble. I think there are few things that make the mowing experience different, but for the convenience of not having to buy and transport gas, the reduction in noise, and benefits to the environment make it all worthwhile.
It was the best purchase I could of made for my lawn. No gasoline or oil to remember to change. It mows like a champ. Cuts thru my grass on regular mode and get a full cutting everytime. Battery life is unbelievable and the mulching capability is a must!
