We have had the mower for a few weeks now and it was bought because we have a very very small yard and a gas mower ( gas and maintenance) we’re just annoying to my girlfriend so she bought this herself and took over the 8 -16 min it takes to mow here! She enjoys it very much because she don’t need any help with starting it and there’s no oil to worry about. It’s been one of the best ideas for our house and just makes sense where we live! She only needs one battery and can mow close to three times before charging it again. ( our yard is tiny) . I had my reservations at first but it’s been a great tool for us! Definitely something I’d recommend for anyone in our situation.
Has a 60v battery but no different than my 40v mower
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern regarding the performance of the 60V 4.0Ah battery compared to your 40V mower. While the 60V platform is designed to deliver more power, overall performance and runtime can vary depending on conditions such as grass thickness, moisture, and cutting height. In lighter conditions, the difference between platforms may not be as noticeable, while heavier or more demanding use is where the 60V system typically provides more benefit. To help improve performance, we recommend mowing regularly, avoiding cutting overly tall or dense grass, and ensuring the battery is fully charged before each use. If you are looking for longer runtime, a higher-capacity battery (such as a 5.0Ah or 6.0Ah) or an additional battery can help extend operation time. If you require any additional support or have questions regarding a product, we recommend trying our Q&A section on products' page or Chat with us directly on our website or call 1-888-909-6757.

So glad I switched from a gas mower to Greenworks electric self-propelled lawn mower. Plenty of power and very quiet. Wish I would have switched sooner.
I love this lawnmower! It's easy, fast, quiet, and comes with an instruction booklet! The only thing that could be changed (and maybe there's a way to do this) is the handle is a little high. Most lawnmowers have an adjustment to lower it. I don't see that in this one. It even has headlights, a mulcher, and a bag to catch the grass if you so desire. It's the best lawnmower ever!!
This is a great mower. I trashed my gas and wanted to go all electric. The 25' makes mowing quick, and it cuts close to edges, making weed trimming fast. I was so excited to get an electric mower so I could mow at night when it is cooler. This mower is quiet and has a nice LED light on it. It will not light up the yard, but will keep you from running into things. I love the way it folds up. I have an 8x5 shed in the backyard, and this mower folds up and fits in it perfectly. I live on a .25 of an acre, house lot, and the two batteries will mow my yard with no problem; in fact, I will use the same batteries for my weed trimmer and blower. Battery charging is quick. When I first got my mower, the batteries were dead. It took about 40 min to fully charge the two batteries.
This mower replaced an old Honda gas mower. I've mowed a few times with it, and here are my insights.
PROS: * Quiet: Much quieter than a gas mower. Basically sounds like a box fan on high. * Lightweight and easy to push: It only weighs 35 pounds, so it's easy to push or even pick up and move when needed. * Plenty of power: I've mowed with the grass long but not overgrown, and this chewed through it easily. * Good battery life: My front and back yards are fairly small (2100 sq. ft.), and the battery still has 3/4 of its charge remaining after mowing.
CONS: * Wheels are plastic: There is no rubber tread on these tires, so I worry about durability.
* Handle technically folds, but it's a pain to do it: This is the one real disappointment for me. Both the upper and lower handles can be released using cam levers, but the upper connection is metal-to-metal and the lower one sits in a plastic depression that keeps it in the correct position when mowing. Moving either handle, in my opinion, risks damaging the handle or mower.
* Mulching performance is acceptable but not stellar: I fully expected this and am OK with it. This mower has a single dual-purpose (bagging and mulching) blade, while my gas mower had a twin-blade system. If you're mowing really long grass, it will leave some clumps of grass on the lawn in mulching mode. Not really a huge deal, as I just used a leaf blower to break them up.
All in all, I'm happy with the new mower. The pros far outweigh the cons.
