I have mowed five times with the mower in mulching mode and the mower did great. Currently, my whole yard only requires one battery. Amazing since I am using the self propelled option the whole time.
I just bought it and it is useless. The advertisement is not clear that it not self propelled and even pushing it does not work. Furthermore, the manual does not say if you need to push it. I am returning it the same day I received it. I am disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you felt mislead by this product. Please note that any products that are self-propelled are clearly labelled and you may also confirm by viewing the specifications tab on the product page by referring to the 'Drive System:' line. If you are finding the unit hard to push, often this is due to the cutting height being set too low and there is too much resistance against the unit to be purchase comfortably. . For troubleshooting and to appropriately address your concerns with one of our product specialists, please give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by sending an email to info@greenworkstools.com.
Great product but customer service has a LOT to be desired! Buy in store.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this mower about a month ago. When it arrived it gave me an error message (7 beeps instead of turning on). After three calls to customer service (don't call during their weekend times as it's a call center and they are not helpful) I received a replacement mower. It's great how it sounds like a box fan instead of a mower. I mowed my lawn at 9:00 last night using the lights. I might replace with high loft blade for a more consistent cut.
I bought this mower back in April and have been really happy with it since. It's been through a spring growing season and is currently managing the dry season here in Ohio. Love the that is carries the two batteries on board and automatically switches from the first battery to the second when the first is drained. That works seamlessly and is a huge help. I tried another green brand's mower before this one and that one was really slow and you had to change the batteries out when one drained. The self propel is a good speed. It can be a little fast when you first take off with a newly charged battery, but you get used to it, or you can slow it down manually. Just two things, if I were king for the day that I would change. The first is that when you use the self propel and you come to the end of your cutting area and you want to pull back on the mower, you need to let the mower run out a few feet before the self propel will release and allow you to pull the wheels backwards. It's something that you get used to after a while, but can be annoying every now and then. The other thing I would change is to give the mower one more notch on the deck height. I wish it would mow just one more notch higher. I tried to do my own thing to make it stay in a higher position, but nothing would work. The highest setting is just a little low for me, although the lawn does look good at this height. Otherwise, the mower is awesome. It's a lot more quiet than my Honda gas mower, and is a lot lighter. Not sure what the purpose is of the headlights, but they don't use much energy so I'm good with that too. It's easy to clean and easy to store. Not much more to say. It's excellent!
