Bought this two months ago and it's been amazing. Easy to use and easy to clean. Battery life is more than sufficient for me as I usually only use up one battery to mow the entire yard - although my yard is rather small...takes only 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend. I do wish there were some type of small cleaning tool included.
So far, so good. I used it for two cuttings. I love the quietness of the mower. I’m so glad I went for the self propelled mower. It’s just what I needed at 71 and hopefully it will keep me cutting my own lawn for a few more years. The feature that allows you to store it standing up is great.
Really love this mower. Easy to use and the battery life is excellent. No issue getting the lawn done. So easy to start and adjust the cut height. Would highly recommend.
2nd mowing and really loving it! Cuts real smooth and 1 5ah battery will do my whole 1/2 lot with hills using self propelled feature! Not missing gas\oil at all!
I'm going to try to make this quick. My girl and I got a new house and I miss doing yard work so I wanted to handle that... first mow I had my parents lawn mower just cause it was so long. It was gas powered but, left all the clippings even with the catch bag everywhere. I decided to buy electric and went with the top of the line craftsman except it wasn't self propelled. The grass is so thick it would die after 2 feet and took me hour and a half. I was going to give up on electric because I thought it wouldn't be strong enough for my thick grass but did some research and gave green works a try. My god was I ever wrong and I'm glad I gave it a chance! I don't know why ppl complain about battery life I can use one 60v for my entire lawn and it fills up the bag 2 and a half times! Another thing, I only see clippings when I know the bag is full... this mower is so smooth and it gets me across the hills with ease because of the self propelled capability. I will always write reviews when they are warranted and my god they are! Bought the blower too cause I though I would need it and it's crazy powerful but now I use it for dirt not clippings cause I don't have any loose clippings!! I have used it 3 times now and love it! I am going to stick with and 60v tool I need getting the trimmer once it's back in stock. I am so glad I did this and I am telling anyone who is doubting it... TRY IT!! GET IT!! YOU WONT REGRET IT! Greenworks you have a lifetime customer. I was a craftsman man but since sears has shutdown I don't know who is making their product. Love you greenworks!
I bought this last year, cutting my lawn for a season with it. Two things buyers should know about: In an effort to maximize battery life, greenworks and other electric mower manufacturers have reduced the lift on the mower blades. There is less suction to lift up the grass to cut it and/or bag it. Even with the high lift blade, there is a lot less lift than a gas mower. So what happened to my lawn over time is, the grass gets bent over sideways instead of properly cut to length. It's especially noticeable this spring, it looks like a comb-over. In addition, when the lawn is the slightest bit damp in the morning, the grass clippings rapidly collect on the inside of the deck, so I need to clean the deck after every cut. I was hoping to enjoy a quieter and less polluting alternative to gas, but I'm going back to a gas mower and also one that is self-propelled!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Andy1976,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the cutting performance with your lawn mower. When the lawn is being cut uneven, this can indicate a few different things. The first being that the lawn itself is rough or uneven. However, if this is not the case then it is possible that the grass is too tall, or the cutting height is set too low for the type of grass. Try raising the cutting height and reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. We hope these tips will help.
