[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as my first push mower. It does the job but definitely came in a bit short on battery power. And never let your grass get out of hand because it won’t be able to handle longer grass. It says mow half an acre but I have less than that and a house and it still couldn’t quite mow it all in one go. The additional batteries are so expensive it makes upgrading to a second battery a tough decision.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased one of these for my daughter's place to make it easier to mow. Used it for a few days and enjoyed it so much I bought another one for our home. I've owned a number of top of the line gas and battery mowers. I've always had problems with the battery ones- batteries fail, very poor suction even with high lift and the self propel motor makes a terrible high pitched whine. This dual blade 60 v Greenworks unit is sturdy, mows well, has plenty of power, makes a much less obnoxious noise in self propel. The Greenworks is a great value when compared to other high end brands. It has really large wheels making it easier to maneuver, and the battery life has been excellent. It also mulches the grass into very fine pieces and leaves no clumps even in wetter or thick fescue and Bermuda. Very impressed so far. No long term experience but initially it's an enjoyable and very capable mower.
I bought this mower Spring 2024 and it has been so frusterating and disappointing. It is constantly throwing errors and, at present, there's no power what-so-ever to the unit. It was at one of Greenwork's certified shops for months last summer and required constant follow-up to get the parts (which I had to phone greenworks on the shop's behalf to accomplish). I own a variety of other greenworks products and have been satisfied, but this mower is a complete flop. BUYER BEWARE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] had for over month works well chargers need spaced out to avoid popping breaker chat bot is horrible on my computer can not send questions
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2.5 years of ownership and still going strong! Really a fan of this mower, it's easy to use, mows my entire 3/4 acre without having to stop halfway through to recharge, and does an excellent job mowing. That said, if I had to do it all over again I'd get the 22" Dual Port mower. The reason? The 25" dual blade means the deck is only 12 inches or so deep. When mowing, any weed that shot up above that just gets pushed over and you have to back up over it to get it. It wouldn't be a problem if my yard was some fancy grass that didn't have wildflowers and weeds in it, but I live in Northern Michigan and my yard is just a yard with all those things in it. Still, an excellent mower!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s very quiet, sounds like a toy car without the blades activated. Was pretty simple to put together. The handles are long so it’s kinda a tight squeeze trying to reverse, I’ve tried all the seat settings but there’s just not enough room between my body and the handles. Which isn’t a huge deal since it’s only in reverse. But the battery last long enough for me to mow my acre of land. And I went over grass 2.5’ tall and it worked pretty well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to mow. With a fairly flat yard, this is easier to push than other gas self-propelled mowers. Cuts well and bags nicely too.
