This is our second battery powered lawnmower but our first with Greenworks. It has so many bells and whistles! I love the fact that it has two batteries and will switch to the second without having to change them out. The self-propel feature is great, although it does make the mower a little louder. Fold down handle, grass clippings not coming out the side, and the ease in switching mowing heights are a few more of the features I like. Definitely would recommend this lawnmower!
I bought this mower to replace the gas burner I've had for 12 years or so. Right out of the box it impressed me. Assembling the handle was quick and easy. Charging the two batteries for a little less than an hour and I was mowing. The controls are well placed and easy to get used to. The height adjustment is done for all 4 wheels with one lever that is very easy to operate. And quiet! Quieter than our vacuum cleaner. The cut is clean and level. Oh, and a pleasant surprise was that there was an extra blade taped inside the box. It has a turbo mode for heavy grass , but it seems to be smart enough to adjust to normal changes in grass height. There are two battery slots, and the mower will switch over when one battery is discharged. The adjustment for the self propelled feature goes from a leisurely pace to a brisk one.
I'm old school and stubborn and refused to consider battery power. But after years and years of getting gas, oil, filters, carbs rebuilt etc I finally gave it a try. I will never, ever, go back to gas. I purchased the 60v 21" self propelled mower and have never been this happy with any mower in my life. Super quiet, cuts perfectly. I have never needed the turbo mode and find it glides so easily I rarely use the self propel. I am now a Greenworks customer for life!!
I especially like the 25inch base which is larger than most gas and electrics and the 2 battery design with fast charging is very intelligently designed. You can mow with just one battery in and when it runs out switch to the fresh battery and put the depleted battery on the fast charger while you continue to mow. This pretty much allows unlimited mowing duration as long as you put the dead battery on the fasr charger while you continue mowing. I pretty much use the turbo button the entire time i mow. Power is good but not quite as powerful as my gas mower, but it gets the job done. The self propelled part is great since you can adjust the speed to your liking. Sets up easy, is quiet and no fumes and no need to get gas. So far fairly satisfied with it.
Doesn’t cut well, but love not having a gas mower anymore.

I absolutely LOVE getting rid of my gas lawn and garden tools and this mower was the final thing. After 4 cuts I can confidently say this electric mower is “good”. There are so many positives like battery life, ultra-low noise level, maneuverability and how great it folds against a wall. The one negative? It doesn’t cut grass well! First I thought I let the grass grow to high.”, but every cut is the same - it caustic most of the grass while leaving random blades, even small clumps unscathed. Frustrating. Bottom line - it bugs me but I love not having a grass mower more.
Became a first time home owner and went looking for a mower for our 3/4 acre lawn, and boy did this thing get a work out! Behind the fence line there was wild grasses about 3ft tall. I used the Greenworks 60V weedwacker to knock it down to about 8 inches then mowed the rest after my whole lawn was already mowed. The two batteries lasted me over an hour and a half and it was easily on Turbo for over thirty of those minutes. Would recommend to anyone looking for an electric mower system
Close to 5 stars but not quite. I unboxed my mower last night. After charging the batteries, it would only "click". I discovered that the deck had been dented in shipping and that was keeping the blade from turning. Once I carefully backed the dent out it worked. It mows well and completed my little less than half acre (hilly) lawn on one charge. It definitely shortens the mowing time vs my 21" gas as well. I dropped a star for how it arrived...it had also obviously been repackaged...as well as it's mulching capability (marginal) and the way it won't reverse like a normal mower. Takes some getting used to
