Quieter, but still let’s you know it’s cutting grass. Capable, and fun to use. I see no performance difference from a traditional mower. The battery life seemed to perform as advertised. I also purchased a Greenworks string trimmer and a blower that have similar results. I love that I can swap batteries in all three tools. I plan on purchasing a Greenworks pole saw as well.
I sure wish I went with Greenworks sooner! This product is incredible! No more worrying about enough gas in the can. I don't have a shed or garage and used to cover my old mower with a tarp. I can now keep this new mower in my basement without worrying about gas. This mower is attractive and extremely affordable. An excellent investment! Do it and don't look back!
This is the 5th greenworks tool that I have. I was wondering if the batteries were going to make it without changing on our 1/4 plus acre lot. I had 3/4 of the small battery left. I love having a self propelled mower now.
I bought the first gen 40v mower, blower, trimmer, chainsaw, and the 2000psi power washer 7 years ago. I have used them HEAVILY! No maintenance, and all run perfect. Literally perfectly. Batteries haven't even lost any charge. I also rarely ever write reviews but I want this company to keep on going because when I need to buy more tools, I want to buy Greenworks. Seriously, it's quality stuff, and for a really good price. Buy this stuff not the imitators. The Chainsaw especially impresses and the mower. The trimmer is a good trimmer but not a good edge, maybe they fixed that since the first-gen. Other than that is 5 stars all around. I am not exaggerating. To be fair like I said, except that edger function being anemic on the trimmer, and the blower not being super strong (it's not meant to be) the stuff is great.
I've cut my lawn twice with this, and the cut is good with no noticeable stragglers. Mower is quiet, with really only the sound of the blade the only thing. Cut height is very easy to change, which is a real strong point. Blade is sharp and light.
The only niggle is that the self-propulsion takes a couple of seconds to disengage the gears to the wheel, meaning that you can't maneuver around obstacles easily without having to anticipate that you may need to pull the mower into reverse and release the propulsion lever early. Given the mower's lighter weight compared to my previous gas mower, I will probably not end up using the propulsion as much as I expected, anyway.
Great product, well built! I already owned the 60v blower and string trimmer and after the great results I got from those tools I decided to purchase the 25 inch self propelled lawn mower. I am so happy I did! I really like the build quality and convenience of this awesome mower.
