Package arrived somewhat torn up, one side of the blade casing was dinged and upon start up a raspy metal sound was heard. I had to use a hammer to push back the ding. Other than that the self propelled lawn mower works quite well.
I bought this mower after reading reviews and checking the other options on the market. I like the extra width that you get with 2 blades. Everyrhing out of the box was as it should be. Quick set up with just a couple bolts. I have .86 acre lot with lots of trees. I've cut the entire lawn twice. I took 1.5 batteries to finish. The switch over process between batteries was seamless and I kept on going. Handles the grass just fine and picked up some leaves as well. I used the blades that came with it. I haven't tried the high powered mulching blades yet. But the trimmings weren't noticeable. I have some decent terrain change from front to back yard, and the self propelled handled it just fine. This mower is quite a bit lighter than a conventional gas powered mower. it's easier to handle. You just have to wait a couple seconds after releasing the self propelled before you can pull it backwards. No big deal once you know. It's also so much quieter than a normal mower, too. No noise pollution. No gas fumes. Easy and compact to store in a smaller space with the folding handle. Looking forward to years of use.
Purchased about a month ago and have mowed the lawn approx 6 or 7 times mower works beyond my expectations. I made the mistake of purchasing 2 additional batteries that. I thought I would need to mow my entire lawn. Much to my surprise the mower only goes through only 1.5 battery usage.. time will tell longevity of unit. But for now it gets an a++++
I bought this a month ago. Only issue was high grass but once that was taken care of it works great! Battery is only good for 60min but no gas or oil changes! Perfect for what we needed.
Great tool. Almost cuts my 1/2 acre lot on one battery.

Cuts very favorably compared to my Honda gas 21". Plenty of battery for my 1/2 acre...almost do it with one battery. Only minus is that the wheels crush my grass so much that when they rebound it makes the lawn look a little uneven. Can take advantage of the 25" cut, and recut the wheel area though and that works OK.
I like the mover a lot. It is a big improvement. I have a big yard so the aggregate 25” width of the blades makes a big difference. The only real complaint is that the mower does not operate well when the lawn is even slightly wet. This is a bit of an obstacle if you live in a humid environment like I do - New Jersey. I cannot easily cut the lawn until after 11am when most of the morning dew has evaporated and that can me as late as 3 or 4pm if there was any rain the day or night before. What happens? The battery life is reduced by as much as 75% depending on how wet the lawn is and how high you set the cut height. And the blades don’t “throw” the clippings into the bag but rather fall off in clumps that have to be picked up.
Love this new mower it is the second Greenworks mower I own. First mower is a 40 v 14 inch cut. It cuts nice but takes a bit too long .My wife who would never mow with our gas mowers was suddenly mowing our yard. With the wider cutting path the 25 inch cuts the yard almost twice as fast and we are able to cut 2 yards(elderly neighbor)with a single charge of both batteries. Its quiet enough to mow early in the morning or late at night.
So far so good. Haven't been using the self propel feature yet to preserve battery life. Have mowed lawn twice (roughly half acre or so) and still had one full battery left.
