[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that I no longer have to buy gas and the convenience of the battery and that I do not have to pay to mow my lawn now. It cuts great and easy to manuever. The light really helps since it has been getting dark early now
We bought this lawn mower in June of 2019 and never had any issues. It cuts like a gas mower and the only down side is the battery doesn't last long especially if you have a big area. But if you have an extra additional batteries it shouldn't be an issue. Other than that this product is awesome. If you have green works or green works pro weed eater or air blower it all uses the same batteries as it used for the lawn mower so you can swap batteries if you want so that way if a battery runs out of charge you can add or swap other battery in. Also it only costs like 6 cents to charge one battery so that's definitely a money efficient electric lawn mower. I would recommend this product to anyone.
As several other reviewers have commented, this mower has a low-quality cut. When it kicks into high gear, which you are not able to control, it seems to cut moderately better, but generally it leaves a lot of grass much taller than the rest of the grass. You really have to mow your yard at least twice in different directions to get the cut even across the yard. I tried to take a photo to post along with this review, but the phenomenon does not show up well in photography.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Michael9874309 Sorry to hear of the challenges you are experiencing with 21-Inch Cordless Brushless Lawn Mower (MO60L410). If the grass length is varied, sparse in one area and denser in another area, or is above the ideal height of 4" the mower may lay the grass over and this can result in an uneven or uncut grass. Here are a few tips to ensure the best results: If the grass has been left to exceed 4", we advise that you raise the cutting height and cut no more than 1/3 of the length of grass at a time, wait a couple of days and do another 1/3, cut when grass is dry and walk at steady pace to allow the blade to work more efficiently. As the lawn becomes consistently maintained you will see the cut improve. We’d love to hear more of your experience and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Please consider contacting us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com
My yard is a .34 acre lot. I mow my lawn every weekend so the grass never gets too high. Despite this, I can NEVER mow my lawn on one battery charge. It was my understanding that this mower/battery was designed for yards up to .5 acres. That is definitely not the case.

Hello Dan422
We are sorry to hear that you're not completely satisfied with the run time of your 60V 21-Inch Self Propelled Brushless Lawn Mower, (MO60L510). The run time for this lawn mower with a 5Ah battery is up to 60 minutes. The run time may vary slightly depending on cutting technique and the condition of your lawn. We based the run time off optimal conditions-load. Here are some tips that will help to achieve better run time: 1. Set the mower to the highest cutting height (or 1/3 of the length of grass), mow no more than 1/3 at a time. 2. Mow when grass is dry. 3. Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass. 4. Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater. 5. New or thick grass may require a narrow cutting path. 6. For the best results keep the lawn under 4" in length and walk at a steady pace to allow the blades to cut efficiently If you would like to contact us, we would be happy to speak with you about the tool and sort out any issues you've been having we can be reached by email on info@greenworkstools.com or directly at 1-855-345-3934.
I've only used mine only four times now so I can't talk about long-term durability. BUT--this mower is well-built, strong and quiet. It's nowhere near silent but it is much quieter than gas movers, much quieter than a passing motorcycle. The self-propelled control lets you set it for your own walking pace. All of the accessories fit well and seem well-made. Overall, it's very easy to use.
CONS:
The drive takes 2-3 seconds to slack off pushing once you release the control bar. Be aware of that and cut the drive before you try to make a U-turn. My battery endurance is in the 30-40 minutes range, not 60 minutes. I use the drive on my sloping yard going uphill, and coast downhill to save battery. My mowable grass yard covers about 0.35 acre and I'm buying a second battery so I can finish in one pass. Finally, it would really be handy if it had a reverse capability. I can see there might be safety concerns but it would sure come in handy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Lectroid Thank you for your detailed response. The run time will vary depending on the amp hour (Ah) of the battery being used and the condition of your lawn. A 2.0Ah battery will provide the least amount of run time at approximately 20 minutes and the 5.0Ah will provide up to 60 minutes of run time. We would be happy to discuss the runtimes with you and offer some troubleshooting tips you may find helpful. We have a very dedicated customer support team here to help you in any way we can. Please contact us on info@greenworkstools.com or directly at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
This was my first electric mower and I LOVE it! I bought the mower this past spring and have been mowing with it almost weekly. It's light, easy to maneuver, cuts well, and has good battery life. It's so quiet that the neighbors can't hear the mower from inside their houses and I can listen to music or podcasts while mowing. The push button start is wonderful and no gas/oil/mess. The mower also folds down in minutes, enabling me to move it easily from one place to the next and for storage.
I mow three yards with it - one very small, one 1/3 acre, and one 1/2 acre. The two smaller yards I can mow and blow easily on a single battery charge. The 1/2 acre needs another 15 minutes of mowing time plus time for the blower. I wish the mower came with two 4.0 batteries and it would be perfect! The good thing I have found with only the one battery is it forces me to take a break which I sometimes need on hot days.
i just bought this lawn mower and found it to be the best investment i could ever make. I've mowed a great deal of lawn with many other kinds of lawn mowersand in my seventy years believe me this does the job. I have St. Augustine grass and it is really and unbelieveablly thick 4" grass and hard to move with a regular standard lawn mower. But this lawn mower and it being self-propelled is great not one problem or hitche. I also bought the Greenwork battery operated blower and trimmer as well. these three items have made my mowing the front and back yard a whole lot easier and more comfortable. believe me you can't go wrong with this lawn mower,
Mowed twice so far and each time I get 2/3-3/4 of the way done and I run out of power and have to recharge the battery. Not sure if I am getting 60 min on a fully charged battery. Cut is fine so far and I like adjusting the height of the blade. I am trying to buying a back up battery so I don’t have to wait hours for the battery to recharge again, or find a battery that lasts longer.
