Great mower, not great battery

My yard is a .34 acre lot. I mow my lawn every weekend so the grass never gets too high. Despite this, I can NEVER mow my lawn on one battery charge. It was my understanding that this mower/battery was designed for yards up to .5 acres. That is definitely not the case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Dan422
We are sorry to hear that you're not completely satisfied with the run time of your 60V 21-Inch Self Propelled Brushless Lawn Mower, (MO60L510). The run time for this lawn mower with a 5Ah battery is up to 60 minutes. The run time may vary slightly depending on cutting technique and the condition of your lawn. We based the run time off optimal conditions-load. Here are some tips that will help to achieve better 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 at a time. 2. Mow when grass is dry. 3. Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass. 4. Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater. 5. New or thick grass may require a narrow cutting path. 6. For the best results keep the lawn under 4" in length and walk at a steady pace to allow the blades to cut efficiently If you would like to contact us, we would be happy to speak with you about the tool and sort out any issues you've been having we can be reached by email on info@greenworkstools.com or directly at 1-855-345-3934.
I've only used mine only four times now so I can't talk about long-term durability. BUT--this mower is well-built, strong and quiet. It's nowhere near silent but it is much quieter than gas movers, much quieter than a passing motorcycle. The self-propelled control lets you set it for your own walking pace. All of the accessories fit well and seem well-made. Overall, it's very easy to use.
CONS:
The drive takes 2-3 seconds to slack off pushing once you release the control bar. Be aware of that and cut the drive before you try to make a U-turn. My battery endurance is in the 30-40 minutes range, not 60 minutes. I use the drive on my sloping yard going uphill, and coast downhill to save battery. My mowable grass yard covers about 0.35 acre and I'm buying a second battery so I can finish in one pass. Finally, it would really be handy if it had a reverse capability. I can see there might be safety concerns but it would sure come in handy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Lectroid Thank you for your detailed response. The run time will vary depending on the amp hour (Ah) of the battery being used and the condition of your lawn. A 2.0Ah battery will provide the least amount of run time at approximately 20 minutes and the 5.0Ah will provide up to 60 minutes of run time. We would be happy to discuss the runtimes with you and offer some troubleshooting tips you may find helpful. We have a very dedicated customer support team here to help you in any way we can. Please contact us on info@greenworkstools.com or directly at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
This was my first electric mower and I LOVE it! I bought the mower this past spring and have been mowing with it almost weekly. It's light, easy to maneuver, cuts well, and has good battery life. It's so quiet that the neighbors can't hear the mower from inside their houses and I can listen to music or podcasts while mowing. The push button start is wonderful and no gas/oil/mess. The mower also folds down in minutes, enabling me to move it easily from one place to the next and for storage.
I mow three yards with it - one very small, one 1/3 acre, and one 1/2 acre. The two smaller yards I can mow and blow easily on a single battery charge. The 1/2 acre needs another 15 minutes of mowing time plus time for the blower. I wish the mower came with two 4.0 batteries and it would be perfect! The good thing I have found with only the one battery is it forces me to take a break which I sometimes need on hot days.
i just bought this lawn mower and found it to be the best investment i could ever make. I've mowed a great deal of lawn with many other kinds of lawn mowersand in my seventy years believe me this does the job. I have St. Augustine grass and it is really and unbelieveablly thick 4" grass and hard to move with a regular standard lawn mower. But this lawn mower and it being self-propelled is great not one problem or hitche. I also bought the Greenwork battery operated blower and trimmer as well. these three items have made my mowing the front and back yard a whole lot easier and more comfortable. believe me you can't go wrong with this lawn mower,
Mowed twice so far and each time I get 2/3-3/4 of the way done and I run out of power and have to recharge the battery. Not sure if I am getting 60 min on a fully charged battery. Cut is fine so far and I like adjusting the height of the blade. I am trying to buying a back up battery so I don’t have to wait hours for the battery to recharge again, or find a battery that lasts longer.
Do to my work schedule, cutting my lawn has been a pain. I cant mow too early or too late ( considerate of the neighbors ). I decided to try electric. This beats my 190cc troy built. It's almost comically quiet. Cuts great, almost an hour of run time without dying, really really smooth to operate. Almost therapeutic. Easy storage with zero mess. Looks like I'll be replacing my lawn equipment with greenworks products...
I purchased this about a month ago, and has already paid for it self. I was paying for someone to mow my lawn. I am an older female, and had a hard time starting a gas powered mower, pushing it, plus putting in gas, oil etc. It easily folds up and stores it in my garage. Having the throttle control and rear wheel drive make's it a joy to mow. Best purchase I have ever made!! Now just need some nicer grass.
I have an average size city lot. I was a little hesitant from reading reviews, here and elsewhere, suggesting that the battery life was disappointed, but I am not disappointed. Last week, it did my lawn great. I forgot to charge when done. This week, it did about 80% of my lawn with the still uncharged battery. I have the 60v 5A battery that came with my self-propelled mower. I'm happy. I really can't think of anything I'd change about this mower.
