Mow Twice for a good looking yard...

I have had this mower for a little over a year. I am mad at myself every time I mow. CUT QUALITY: The mower does not cut all of the grass. You basically need to mow your yard twice to have a decent looking yard. I mow my grass 1 notch below the maximum height. I have tried turbo mode on/off and I have tried many different self propel speed settings. I sharpen the blades, but even brand new it would not cut all of grass. It's not missing down the center between the blades, it misses everywhere. It does not miss large patches, it misses random blades of grass so when you look out at your yard, you just see everything it missed. Yes, I do rotate my mowing pattern each time I mow. I also scrap/clean the mower after each mow, although there is typically very little build up.
MULCHING: I don't think this is a mulching mower. It will not pick up leaves and mulch them. I don't mean a whole pile, just a few scattered leaves in the beginning of fall will not be touched. I believe this is a clue to the Cut Quality. The mower does not generate enough lift for the grass/leaves. I have never used the bag.
SAFETY: The self propel does not disengage when you let go. Instead, you must push the mower forward to fully dis-engage. I assume this is a safety feature so if you were mowing up a steep incline, the mowers wheels stay locked so it will not roll backwards. This 'feature' will cause you to drag the mower backwards with the wheels locked when you do not have room to push forward.
BATTERIES: I can finish my yard (the first time) in almost 1 battery. When the first battery gets low, everything slows down tona crawl. Now you are barely moving around your yard until the mower decides to switch to the fully charged battery. Towards the end of last year, the springs that kick the batteries up when you unlatch them had given up. I do not store the batteries in the mower, so the only time they are compressed is while in use. After mowing, sweaty hands and weak springs makes it difficult to remove the batteries.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear that the mower has not delivered the experience you expected after more than a year of use. Cut quality can be influenced by several factors, including blade condition, mowing height, grass conditions, and airflow under the deck. Since you have already maintained the blades, varied your mowing pattern, and kept the deck clean, we understand your concerns about the mowing and mulching performance. For best performance, it may help to verify that both blades are securely fastened and free of excessive wear or damage. We also appreciate your detailed comments about the self-propel system, the slowdown before the battery switches, and the difficulty removing the batteries. We understand how these experiences can make mowing frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand our customers’ experiences in a variety of mowing conditions. For maintenance and setup tips, you can visit the Greenworks YouTube channel. If you would like assistance with the cutting performance, mulching results, self-propel system, or battery concerns, our Customer Success team is available through the online chat feature on the Greenworks Tools website or by phone at 1-888-909-6757. Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing Greenworks.
Bought this for my 1/2 acre lot. The machine is smooth and easy to assemble although intructions can be a little easier. Batteries are huge and make a lot of noise while charging. The site claims that it will cut 3/4 of acre in one charge which is totally wrong as I had to charge twice to finish the 1/2 acre lot as it drains rapidly. Maybe it is the first time charge but will see how it works later. The chargging however is quick and does not take hours to full charge. The grass cut is clean, haven't used the mulching function yet as I collected in bag. Machine has power and is quiet and smooth to operate. You need to fully engage both hands while operating the self propelled function.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Powerful

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Greenworks 60V 21" Self-Propelled Lawn Mower. We are pleased to hear that you found the mower easy to assemble, powerful, quiet, and capable of delivering a clean cut. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the battery runtime and charging experience. Actual runtime can vary based on grass height, density, moisture levels, terrain, use of the self-propelled feature, and operator mowing habits. For best performance, we recommend ensuring both batteries are fully charged before use and adjusting cutting height as conditions allow. As the batteries go through additional charge cycles, you may also notice performance becoming more consistent. If you would like tips on maximizing runtime or assistance with any aspect of your mower, we encourage you to visit the Greenworks YouTube channel for helpful product videos and tutorials.

I've trying to get my mower services and no one local to me will work on it. I wish I never purchased the 25 inch dual blade. It doesn't cut well. I have to cut the 2 times. Mower runs really bad when first battery gets low. So I have to power it off and move the second battery to 1 slot.

So let me first say that for quite a while I was hesitant and curious about this machine and this brand.
I finally got my hands on the 25in mower( secondhand). Because I was so use to my 30in gas powered mower. I kept checking the price and holding back on ordering a new one. We'll, I finally got a used one, tried it out, and i love it! The charge of the two batteries holds up very well up against a half acre of land. I am very pleased with this machine amd performance of the batteries. Next chapter, I've been eyeing up the riders. It'll be a while before I can invest in that one but for now, I can rely on the exercise of the walker. I barely use the self-propel features.

I've had the mower for 4 weeks. I mow every week. It has worked very well. It arrived in great condition. I had it un-crated and ready to go in a 1/2 an hour. Charged it up. Mowed the next week. Very easy to control every aspect of this machine; read the instructions. Lawn looks great! Real nice cut. Had a different brand electric rider that needed expensive repair after 6 years of vigorous mowing so decided to try this one. Build is very solid- great frame and tires. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend from a person who has to mow a lot here in Central Florida.

Mower seems pretty good, although there's physical space for more batteries. Might have been better with only the "suitcase" batteries (and more of them). The charger draws WAY too much current! A "normal" (600w or so) and "turbo" mode on the charger would be great, so you don't trip a breaker trying to charge the mower and run a small item on the same circuit.
Pros: Environmentally Safe, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are sorry to hear that your 60V CrossoverZ mower is displaying a C9 error code and that you have been unable to charge the unit before ever having the opportunity to use it. We understand how frustrating and disappointing that can be with a new purchase. There are a few troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the issue. First, inspect the battery cable harness and any auxiliary communication wires running between the charger, charging port, and battery compartment to ensure all connections are secure and free of dirt, debris, or corrosion. You can also perform a hard reset by disconnecting all batteries and the charger from the mower, waiting 2 to 3 minutes to allow the internal system to fully discharge, and then reconnecting everything before attempting to charge again. If the C9 error persists after these steps, the charger or mower's internal power management components may require further evaluation. We recommend visiting the Greenworks YouTube channel for additional setup and troubleshooting resources. If you still need assistance, please contact our Customer Success team through the online chat feature on the Greenworks Tools website or by calling 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). Our team will be happy to help diagnose the issue and determine the best solution under warranty if needed.
