Love the ease of this mower and the self propelled function. The battery transition is completely seamless. I was amazed how well it does my leaves and pine needles, too. I had shoulder surgery and could no longer "pull-start" my leaf vacuum. This is so easy to use with my shoulder injury.
I purchases this simple push lawnmower in October of 2021. I have used it twice so far to cut a relatively small backyard of fescue grass. I have been very impressed with the performance - much lighter than my previous gas mower, much quieter, easier to maneuver, and easier to adjust the height. I also notice, I only see one light on the LED battery indicator used up after finishing (about a 15 minute cut). I have used it on the mulch mode thus far. Not sure why anyone would ever buy a gas mower again (unless commercial landscaper). Will see how it continues to perform over time but this will be the first winter I won't have to worry about emptying my gas tank or dealing with bad/old gas come springtime...!
Can't say enough about how awesome this mower is. Light and sturdy, simple and powerful. It's like pushing a vacuum cleaner across my lawn, it's so light. I don't have a huge lawn, but it's not tiny either, and the battery powers the mower beautifully to the end of the job with no problems. I get a lot of leaves in late fall and it chews them up with ease, and still has power at the end of the job. I can't wait to mow because the experience is so satisfying. Bravo Greenworks, Bravo!!!
