I was skeptical getting a battery operated mower,but am so glad I got this machine. It is great. It mulches unbelievably perfect. The one battery lasts for my large lot. You will not regret your purchase on this machine.
2 months in and i am impressed. Plenty of power, plenty of battery to cut my whole yard with some to spare(standard size subdivision lot). Time will tell if the battery holds for for a few years
My only negative is the self propel does not disengage when u let off.(as in the wheels lock up and will not roll backwards) You have to push the mower foward a few feet to get it to disengage. Gets quite annoying at times.
Overall the mower is good. It cuts through tall grass nicely and the run time is solid.
The self propelled is a little slow for me. Even at full speed I am not walking very fast. Also-some parts seem cheap and I worry about them breaking. One thing that happened on its first use: a bolt came out that holds the handles into the long handle bars. The wires were damaged slightly as a result. I had tightened those bolts all the way as part of the assembly...

I have only used this lawnmower a few times but so far I could not be more satisfied. It's very easy to use and does an excellent job mowing the lawn. The 2 batteries have more than enough power to mow my entire lawn. I have been able to mow my just under 1/2 an acre of grass essentially using just 1 battery as it just switches to the second battery as I am finishing up. Even better considering that it's spring and the grass has been damp and growing like crazy and I have been using the high lift blades in mulching mode. With the 2 blades and extra few inches of width, it also mows more quickly than the standard gas mowers I previously used. It now takes me 40 minutes to mow when before it was 1 hour. It's also lighter than my gas mower and most of the time I don't need to use the drive wheels and can easily push with my own power. It's a lot quieter and I don't have to deal with gas and the service to keep the gas engine running. The fact that I have the 60 volt Greenworks string trimmer and blower that uses the same batteries is fantastic too.
I really love my new lawn mower. I am a medium size woman and I live on one acre, half of it on a steep hill. This lower is a life saver. I guide it, that's all. No more pushing and sweating.
Coming from a corded 21' Greenworks unit which we had used for 8+ years. Mower is exceptionally quiet, the self-propelled system is wonderfully easy to handle. Using mower is not much more effort than just walking. Easy to turn. The mower also fills the extra large grass bag very well.
1/3 acre lawn, was able to do everything with one of the two batteries. With battery degredation over the years the dual batteries will be useful in the future. Couldn't be happier about the product.
