I went from a rider that died to using the wired push mower that the tractor couldn't do. Untangling the 200 foot extension cord took almost as long as cutting and the mower was heavy and hard to go on slopes. But the Greenworks 25 solves both issues...No cords..I turn it on an Im working. This means I can go out and do a zone fast. I can reach the sidewalk grass all the way to my neighbors line which is far. I use the self propel only when I need a boost on slopes to save on batteries. The wider cut means less walking. The battery allowed me to do the whole yard and sidewalk grass and Im still with one bar on the battery. My concerns is I hope the plastic paddles to mow and engage self propel hold up. It doesn't look like an assembly that can easily be replaced. The warranty is good but I keep my mowers for a decade or more. At this point I cant evaluate the batteries until I get 20 or 30 cycles on them.
Very impressed. Nice cut an power when you need it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a chance to use this for a while and I must say, this is a great mower for certain applications. I have a small landscaping business and I was looking for a mower that I could easy lift up and take to some of my properties at beach because of small grass areas and me not wanting to take my trailer down tight roads and turnarounds. This mower is perfect for this. It is super lightweight and very easy to push even though it's not self propelled. I'm ok with this not having self propelled feature because is lightens mower not having it. The cut it very good. I have some properties with very thick st. Augustine and it cut very well. You have to go slow but it leaves a clean cut without many missed blades. It was a little bit slower on the cut then my high end gas self propelled but I more than made up the time on loading and leaving. I can cut up to 4 small yards on one charge with the 5 amp battery and I have a 2 amp backup just in case. Also, it does a great job mulching . No clumping and leaving plies of mulch around that needs to be cleaned up. I am very happy with this mower. I have the backpack blower and the tiller on the 60 volt system as well. All three are excellent and I plan on adding more soon. If you have small patches of grass in different spots around your yard this might be one of the best options for you.
At first I was rather pleased with my new mower. The 25” cutting deck is awesome for faster mowing; even though my lawn is pretty small (only about 1/5 acre). I love how easily it starts and I also love how quiet it is.
However, there are four major issues thus far that I find troubling with it.
-The wheels will not go backward until 5-7 seconds after you’ve released the forward drive. So if you have to do under bushes and then pull it back, you have to awkwardly wait to pull back because they literally are locked up. Sooooo frustrating!
-The two bolts holding the handlebar in came loose after using it only 4-5 times. I lost one and need to find a replacement already, even though I tightened them very firmly when I first assembled the mower. That is a bad flaw for sure.
-The battery seems to not last long as it did when I got it just a few weeks ago. As of now this is just a feeling, but I will look into this and update the review if possible when I have timed the battery life.
-It doesn’t seem to have very sharp cutting blades. I find I’m constantly having to go over areas again because there are blades of grass that stick out of the already cut area.
I will reach out to the manufacturer in a few weeks to see if they can resolve any of these issues, but as of now I do not recommend this lawn mower.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I tend to use push mowers for trimming in the tough-to-reach areas as mowing 3.5 acres with a 21" mower isn't an enjoyable prospect. Firing up my old 4-cycle gas mower to trim after getting off the tractor was not always easy especially since using the push mower wasn't an every-mowing-event occurrence. With the Pro 60V dual-battery Greenworks, it's easy to push the button and get to mowing. I elected to switch to the high-lift blade as my trimming often occurs around trees where the grass (and weeds) have grown up a bit. So far, provided I don't mow with the grass wet, the mower has worked quite well. I really like the feature that I can have the mower propel itself to another part of the yard without running the blade to save power. From my limited use, I've been getting a bit over 60 minutes of cut time, mostly in self-propelled mode, from two fully-charged batteries. I also like that Greenworks includes the batteries and charger in the mower kit. I also really appreciate two other features: (1) all wheels can be adjusted with one lever, and (2) the handles can be easily moved to a storage position from the mowing position by just pulling back on two embedded latches in the handles. If the batteries last a long time and the mower continues to prove its ruggedness, it might be my favorite push mower I've ever used. I noticed that a spare "high-lift" blade wasn't available yet on the Greenworks web site; would appreciate making one of those available soon.
Impressive mower. Very powerful and cuts my front and back yard in 20 minutes. Watch our for the turbo setting...you'll be going for a ride. This thing makes yard work fun!.
Very Happy with this Lawn mower. I have a hilly yard and this machine works very well. The adjustement is even. The self propelled wheel are speed adjustable. Great machine so far.
It has good power and is light enough to push easily. The battery charges in 2 hours. I fold the handle down when I store it in my garage. I’m enjoying my first battery powered mower.
