Great quality, I have a greenworks mower that’s over 6 years old, still working great, I just wanted a larger size, my gas mowers never lasted, messy and loud. This mower is just what I wanted, makes mowing the lawn almost fun!
We just got this in and couldn't wait to use it! It takes almost no effort to mow our lawn. We're on .23 of an acre, and it took just about 40 minutes to finish. A spry 80-year-old could easily take care of his or her lawn with this machine.
I also love that you can actually hold a conversation while it's running. It's not silent, but it's far from loud. We couldn't hear it above a neighbor about 5 houses down mowing his lawn with a gas powered mower. The gas mower we could hear inside the house, but the Greenworks mower we couldn't hear from inside. We love this machine so much, we're ordering the in-line trimmer and the leaf blower/vac!
I`ve always used a gas mower, but after reading about the advantages of a battery operated one I decided to look into them. I read lots and lots of reviews and decided on the Greenworks label. The limited 4 yr. warranty, so much quieter than any gas mower, 2 batteries, twin blades, and on sale!
I've been very pleased with this mower so far (have only mowed 3x). First mow was very early spring, and grass was high, bagged it. Next mow, lowered deck a bit (LOVE the lever to lower the entire mower vs. each wheel independently) and it did great. Both first mows I had to recharge batteries before I could finish, however I mowed for 1.5hrs (estimate). Going down hill, I didn't use assist - uphill I did full throttle. Third mow I did the entire yard (~.5 acres of grass) and did not need to recharge. Mower was easy to put together, and have been extremely impressed, AND as added bonus: I don't smell like gas (mixed with grass/pollen).
When you drive forward and come to the end of a row the wheels are locked when you release the drive and try to turn. You have to drag the wheels locked to turn. While trying to bag a few dry leaves it left have of them behind. When dissatisfied with the mower and tried to return it they said I was past the 30 days because they include shipping times and would not allow the return of the mower.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Papa 13,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are having some concerns. The self-propelled drive system with rear-wheel-drive and variable speed control on this unit has been designed for maximum traction, maneuverability, and control. Self-propelled mowers move under their own power, utilizing a dedicated propulsion motor or a geared transmission running of the main (blade) motor. This reduces the strain of pushing a heavy lawn mower, meaning bigger areas of lawn can be mowed more frequently as the operators are less fatigued. The wheels temporarily lock when the self-propel feature is not engaged for safety precautions, however with a slight push ahead the mower should engage the self-propelled feature right away and get you right back to mowing as desired. We are sorry to hear you would like to return the unit. If you aren’t completely happy with it you can contact us and we can help you set up a return. Greenworkstools.com has a 30-day money back guarantee on all direct purchases, less shipping & handling - taxes not applicable.

Purchased to replace my 40v Greenworks. Works great and the lower cutting height is perfect for my short cut turf. The wider deck also stripes very nicely.
I love this product. Assembly was super easy, it cuts great and is easily maneuverable even when not using the self-propelled. Took some practice to get used to cutting with it, folds up and stores away really nice. Will probably never own another gas mower. Overall great product!
