You’re going to need more batteries

I bought this because my other 40v twin blade Greenwoks mower finally seized a motor. I like the single blade option, and though the self propelled is nice, you really have to use it all the time because the mower is just too heavy to push.
The motor is back wheel propelled which makes turning around much more difficult than a front wheel drive as you have to lift the back of the mower to make 90 degree turns instead of just tilting the front back with a simple push down on the handle, which is more natural.
If you opt to disengage the self propelled, you need to wait 2 seconds as the wheel is “locked” while in self propelled settings and takes a moment to disengage.
Also, it takes a while for the speed to resume back to full speed.
Now to the batteries. My mowing time is exactly 60 minutes. With my other mower, I could do it all with two 4 amp batteries. Not even close with this mower. I needed to buy 2 6 amp batteries where I use about 3 total (2 6 amp and most of a 4 amp) to mow it all now.
The original charger wouldn’t charge the 6 amp batteries, so I had to buy a new one.
Other than that, it is quoted and cuts better than the twin blade. I know there are better 21” mowers, but I wanted to stay with this as I have other 40v GW products and don’t want to manage other proprietary batteries.
Whatever you decide to get, make sure you build it around the batteries. Unfortunately with Greenworks, there are way too many battery types and configurations and nothing is really scalable. It’s also priced ok. Good for entry into the market and less than an hour of mow time.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So Quiet!
on April 20, 2022

I used my mower for the first time a week ago and I could not believe how quiet it was! The ease of use was wonderful as well. I have a 2/3 acre yard, and was able to complete it in one charge!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than Expected

I have an average size neighborhood yard. Does not even use up 1 battery in the 45 minutes it takes to finish. I run it with just one battery in it, so it is relatively light weight when I push it without using the self-propelled feature.

42" Crossover rider

First of all, when I saw this mower in person it was much bigger and beefier than it appeared in pictures! The seat is extremely comfortable, and the steering wheel placement is convenient and out of the way when you get on and off the mower. I love the little cargo bed in back! Fantastic for hauling fertilizer, seed, or plants. I also love the exposed tubing all the way around the mower that makes it easy to tie it down to a trailer for transport. Also, the 2-in receiver in front lets you use this mower to move around a small trailer, or boat! It is so incredibly easy to use, that it makes mowing the lawn actually fun! Love the removable batteries system, and the three dual Port chargers! I mow two yards, and after I'm done with the second one I still have an indicated 83% charge.
To think that I'll never have to put gas in it, change the oil, replace a belt, for worry about whether it will start after sitting through the off season, absolutely justifies this purchase. I had to think for quite a while to come up with anything I would change. One minor thing that's not really a problem is, I would rather have a heel toe or two pedal forward and reverse system as opposed to the switch. It's no problem though. If you're thinking about an electric Rider with a good amount of cut, this is the one. I've done all the research for you. You don't want one with lead acid batteries! This has lithium ion batteries just like the electric cars on the road today.

The benefits of battery powered equipment is pretty obvious. This mower is self propelled so going up hill is easy. It cuts well, I haven't had to sharpen the blade yet.
In addition to mowing grass, I have used it to maintain trails around my house. I had previously built the trails in the woods, but little stuff regrows every year. It can cut regrowing short saplings on very uneven ground. I set the blade up high and away we go. Changing the height of the wheels is very easy and completed at one point instead of each wheel. This mower is much tougher than I had expected

Well made

We have used it a couple of times on some fairly tall and very wet grass. Overall it did well considering. Mower isn’t any lighter than a gas mower of similar capabilities but more quiet . I wish someone would come out with a self propelled mower with a reverse gear. That would really help when mowing over the edge of a hillside. Battery life is good but a second set of batteries is better if you have a larger area to mow

I felt like a child on Christmas when the package was delivered. Fast and easy set up. Minor setback with the sleeve in the wheel bearing misaligned. I just used a rubber mallet to pound the sucker in place. I'm not a dummy who sends a perfectly good working mower back and giving a one star review for such a tiny malfunction.
Easy to operate and cuts perfectly. Best investment I've made so far.
