I used to mow my yard with a push-mower, and it would take me about six hours to get everything done (including bagging and weedeating). Since I got this riding mower, my lawncare time is down to about an hour. Instead of dreading the time and effort I needed to spend on the yard, now I can play a podcast and get the whole yard done before it ends.
This is an excellent product. We have used it several times to mow our ~2 acre yard and it has worked flawlessly. Very easy user interface. My 9 and 12 year-old children vie for the opportunity to mow. Plenty of power, the battery life meets expectations, very clean cut. The only negative that I have is traction. At some point I may put a slightly more aggressive set of drive tires on it.
Replaced my gas mower with this one for the extra 4" cutting width and the simplicity of batteries. The dual blade design keeps the mower smaller front to back while getting a nice wide cut. It is very quiet. My wife no longer hears me from inside. Rear wheel drive is nice for the hills. It is definitely not as strong as my gas mower and if you were cutting thick and tall grass regularly I don't think you would be thrilled. For normal cutting on Bluegrass it is doing a good job.
I have been a BIG fan of Greenworks tools for a long time. I especially LOVE their “Battery Powered Tools” I currently own a 60V Leaf Blower, a 60V Lawn Mower , and a 60V Weedeater. I “HIGHLY” recommend “ALL” Greenworks tools. I also own a small Greenworks electric Pressure Washer, and it is “Superb”. I LOVE GREENWORKS tools. They are GREAT TOOLS at a Great price.
Broke the 2nd time I used it. Hit a root and the gear that powers the twin blades stripped and locked up the system. You shouldn’t hit roots, but it happens and it shouldn’t be the end of the mower. Emailed tech support and haven’t heard back.
