i was somewhat skeptical about battery powered tools but i also use a greenworks snowblower and it is awesome. The lawnmower uses the same batteries so there are constantly 3 ready to go. The lawnmower is awesome, quiet, cuts great and never needs gas!
I have a 1/4 acre yard with a garage, shed, and 2 driveways. Please note that I do NOT use the self propelled option at all. I can't imagine how quick the battery would die if I did. The one battery isn't enough. Thankfully I also bought the blower and trimmer combo (which I actually quite enjoy) that came with the 4AmpHr battery, I need both batteries to finish the job.
After mowing, I do have enough left in the 2nd battery to trim and blow the yard.
The other issue is that there is no suction power at all. The grass that lays flat won't get cut, at all.
I could really like it, but those are 2 MAJOR issues I just can't look past.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello SethD2005,
We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the battery life. 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 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. 3) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed. 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.
I purchased this piece of crap less than 6 months ago. It doesn’t cut evenly; takes twice as long to mow the grass because you have to go back and recut because it doesn’t cut worth a flip. The battery life sucks. Doesn’t even hold a charge for a 1/2 hour. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!!!
I bought this mower about one month ago. It's the perfect power, size and weight for our yard. The battery lasts the entire time. It was simple to assemble and even easier to use. No more gas!!!
Read a lot of reviews on cordless mowers and this one was consistently rated high and better priced than lower rated competitive models. So far it has lived up to my expectations.
I am a 69 year old woman and was tired of using a gas powered mower. I was not always sure that when I went to start the engine it was actually going to start. I purchased the cordless mower in hopes that it would solve that problem. This mower is as good as advertised. I have used it 4 times and am very pleased with the results. It is easy to start and easy to maneuver even in tight spaces. It is simple to fold up and store in garage. I would definitely recommend this lawnmower.
Have used it over the last 4 months and it cuts well but when using the self propelled feature it goes through batteries pretty quick. Nice build on the mower, nice features.
