Hello Baloo. We are sorry to hear that the battery would not charge, as that can certainly impact your experience with the 60V lawn mower. To help troubleshoot, we recommend first ensuring the battery is fully seated in the charger and that the charger is plugged into a working outlet. Check the charger indicator lights for any flashing patterns, as these can signal temperature-related delays or charging issues. If the battery was stored in a very cold or hot environment, allow it to return to room temperature before attempting to charge again. It can also help to remove and reinsert the battery a few times to ensure proper contact. If the battery still does not respond on the charger after these steps, it may indicate an issue within the battery pack itself, and we recommend reaching out to Greenworks success for assistance. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
I like that you can see the battery charge levels up at the handle. It is also a good feature that you can switch between self propelled to regular by letting up on the handle. The self propelled speed feature can easily be controlled at the handle also. Great to use with thick grass and on hills.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Durable, Effective, Powerful
Honestly When I bought this blade And I install it on my mower it says it was compatible But even on the high length setting Is when my grass too short For some reason I'm Having a hard time to find the compatible blade for my mower
Pros: Durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Pedro. We are sorry to hear of the challange you are exeriencing finding a compatable blade for your Greenworks lawn mower. It sounds like the issue may be related to blade compatibility rather than the mower’s height setting itself. On Greenworks mowers, the blade plays a critical role in determining actual cutting height and performance. Even if a blade is labeled as “compatible,” small differences in length, center mount design, or lift angle can cause the mower to cut lower than expectedm, even when set to the highest height position. This can make it seem like the mower isn’t adjusting properly when, in reality, the blade geometry is affecting the cut. To resolve this, we recommend confirming your mower’s exact model number and matching it with the correct Greenworks OEM replacement blade. Using the specified blade ensures proper deck alignment, airflow, and intended cutting height. If you are having trouble locating the right blade, sharing your mower model number will Greenworks Success team can narrow down the exact part needed. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
Major issues after 3 years, 6/6 bad batteries, error codes, etc. Within the first year my first of 6 batteries died. Greenworks replaced as it was still within the 3 year warranty. The next spring two more batteries died (originals) and GW replaced those. I'm now a few months past the end of my warranty and my last 3 original batteries have died. Now down to just the 3 replacement batteries. which seriously reduces my cut time.
Aside from this I'm getting error codes relating to both the electric motors that drive the cutting blades. I'm expecting that I'll have to either service or replace these motors.
Seriously wish I had found a different option.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe

Hello WCFJ78. Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating this situation must be, especially after relying on the unit over multiple seasons. Battery performance and long-term durability are important factors, and while replacements were provided during the warranty period, we recognize your concern now that additional batteries are no longer covered. Reduced runtime and system error codes can significantly impact usability, particularly on a riding mower. In cases like this, component wear over time, whether batteries or drive systems, can begin to affect overall performance. While we are unable to speak to specific outcomes, support may still be able to review available service options or provide guidance on next steps. We appreciate you taking the time to provide detailed feedback, as it helps highlight areas for continued improvement. Should you require any troubleshooting, warranty assistance, questions or other concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly via chat or call 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). Thank you for choosing Greenworks Tools!
Pleased with simplicity and intuitiveness of the setup out of the box, took maybe ten minutes. Pleased with fast battery recharging. Takes maybe 30 to 40 minutes to full charge. Pleased with the mulching performance. No grass clumps and no visible layers of cuttings on the lawn. I was able to mow front and back yards, about 1200 square feet, on one charge with two bars of charge left at the end. I am glad I bought this mower. It does the job nicely with minimal fuss on my part!
Bought this two years ago. Bought two extra batteries marked batteries 1-8 rotate them. I have1.5 ac. I get two cuts before recharge. Love this machine have trailer great yard worker. ALL Yard tools are know greeworks
First month with the mower has gone great. It's pretty lightweight and stores away nicely. Battery works well and I would recommend to anyone with a smaller yard.
I have had the 60v Greenworks 21inch mower for about a month. Battery run time excellent. Grass cut, power, mulching, all excellent. I use the mulcher bag with mulch blade. Bag is rather small and requires a couple of emptying for a half-acre yard. Takes a bit of getting for controls especially for backing up mower under trees, but once your familiarized no problems! I give this mower 5 stars. SO il and gas, no cranking. What a relief.
