I bought this for my 78 year old mother and she loves it. She has a very big yard so the larger deck is handy. She likes not having to deal with gasoline and being able to easily fold it for storage in her small garage. It cuts well. She has learned that in order to get the most out of the battery to make sure she has it on the right height before cutting the grass. She does wish the batteries would last a little bit longer though
I was worried that this lawn mower was not going to work for me but when i used it it was awesome. Power was enough to handle my medium yard and very surprised that battery out lasted the time i needed to cut entire yard. I am able to cut when it is cool early in the morning or late in the evening without waking or bothering the neighbors. My only regret is that buying an extra battery 60v 4ahr is almost impossible to get and if you find one it is extremely expensive. You figure they would offer a second 60 v 4ahr battery as a perk of some kind. All in all very satisfied with it and wife is even to cut with it a lot safer than a GAS POWERED ONE. Thanks
Cuts the grass great, but it has the issue I feared, short battery life. My yard is not large by any means, and I can barely cut it on a single charge, and if the grass is long I cut the back, let the battery charge for an hr, then cut the front. Love the fact it has a headlight, and I can cut the grass at night. ( I work 2nd shift).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Shane P Flowers,
Thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate to hear that the run time is unsatisfactory. The run time of a lawnmower is dependent on the load acting against the unit and fluctuates depending on the height setting, the terrain, grass height, type of grass, whether you are mulching, using self-propelled function etc - there are so many factors to consider. The run-time of a battery would depend on the load acting on the unit while in use (speed, terrain, unit height, grass height, and density). Please be aware that the more power being used from the lawn mower (i.e. lawn mower speed, terrain, grass height, density, etc.), the faster the battery charge will drain. Here are a few tips to help you extend the run time. 1) Set the mower to the highest cutting height (or 1/3 of the length of grass), mow no more than 1/3 of the total length at a time. 2) Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass and ensure that grass is dry. Lastly, when the battery is placed in the charger the charger detects the temperature of the battery and will begin charging once it cools down slightly to charge. This is normal operation based on the protection system in the charger. All is operating as intended. We hope these tips will help you with the issue you have encountered, however, if they do not please kindly contact us at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com. We would be happy to look into this for you.
When it was time for a new lawnmower I was initially skeptical, but since my property is relatively small (approximately 50ft x 100ft) I decided to give a battery electric mower a try. After a lot of research I had determined that anything under 40V is not powerful enough and opted in for a 60V model. With the 4Ah battery I couldn't believe that I cut my lawn with more than half capacity to spare! Getting more than 2 cuts out of one charge. The Greenworks mower is top quality, too. The deck on the mower I have is made of thick guage steel, no wobbly wheels and the blade spins true. No more trips to fill up a gas can or winterizing the machine at the end of the season. It Is just easy to use. I recently even bought the 60V inverter and now take the battery camping with us to power any electronics we have so we get more use out of the battery. 10/10 would recommend.
Couldn't be happier in purchasing my 1st electric mower. Using on hybrid bermuda and even at lowest height on my thick Bermuda it has definitely gotten the job done. Even gave it some stripes
