I was worried about getting a battery operated mower, I already has a Greenworks 21" corded mower that I'd been using for 3 years, but my yard added features that made using a corded mower very difficult (trees, flower beds, garden plots, bushes, etc.). I had heard early horror stories of people that got early battery operated mowers that couldn't handle the task. For the record, my lot is 200'x75'. The wider 25" deck makes a big difference in 1 less pass for every 4. The controls are fairly easy to use, one lever for blade control, one for self propelled motion and a sliding lever to adjust the self propelled speed. The unit is really light so once it gets going, it's pretty easy to let off the self propelled and just keep the momentum up (that conserves battery). The handle bars adjust to two height positions to keep it easier on the back. The battery switchover is fairly seamless, only noticeable by a small burst of new power from the fresh battery pack. As long as I don't dally and mow an efficient pattern, I can get my whole lawn done on one charge...about an hour of constant mowing time in all. If I want to take a small break, I'll typically take out the small battery pack and put it in the charger just in case I might need a couple minutes to finish the whole thing. The mower folds and stores compact and it's really easy to clean the deck out before storage. So far, I'm really happy with the mower and am looking forward to buying more tools so I can make multi-purpose use of the battery packs! If I had to give it one criticism, it would be the self-propel, at the end of a run you can't just simply pull the mower backwards as the propel seems to have a positive lock on the wheels, but if you push forward a couple inches and then pull back, it works just fine. Not a big deal, but does take some getting used to. Even if you get too far into an area, the mower is light enough that you can just drag the whole thing, locked wheels and all, back to where you need it.
This is a fantastic mower. I have only had gas mowers to date and have wanted to make the foray into electric mowers for a while. When my gas mower kicked the bucket recently I made the leap and so far have been very happy with that decision.
Battery life: This mower holds two batteries with an indicator in the handlebar for each that flashes when the primary battery is depleting then flashes again when it switches to the next battery. This happens without any interruption in cutting. I get about an hour out of both batteries together with the self propelled feature on full speed, which just about finishes my 0.5 acre property. I am very satisfied with the life on these batteries, but may upgrade to a 6ah battery in the future and run that plus one of the other batteries and could get a full cut. I recognize my yard is large for an electric mower but still feel it delivers.
Power/cutting: The mower cuts just as well if not better than my gas mower. I think the mulching is actually better and I have less clumps in the yard even with heavy growth. It also does a great job on the thin cuttings from edging my bushes as well and has no issues. I've been avoiding hitting large sticks since I don't want to hurt my new baby so I can't speak to that.
Speed/ease of use: The self propelled function is great on this mower and features adjustable speed. The fastest mode is fast and I have to power walk to keep up but I don't feel the battery takes a hit from doing this and I get my own cut faster. It is lighter than my gas mower and easy to maneuver. The 25 inch cutting deck is the largest push mower I've ever had and makes even faster work of my yard.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with this mower and I'm looking forward to cutting the grass again!
i was somewhat skeptical about battery powered tools but i also use a greenworks snowblower and it is awesome. The lawnmower uses the same batteries so there are constantly 3 ready to go. The lawnmower is awesome, quiet, cuts great and never needs gas!
I previously owned a Honda self-propelled mower for many years and switched to a Snapper 80V mower, but I was not happy with the Snapper cut, and some of the features of the mower. The Greenworks 25" Pro 60V has been wonderful. It's very easy to use, and it folds up and stores away in with a very small footprint in my garage. Both batteries that came with the mower can cut my 1/2 an acre lawn with no problem. I've cut really tall 6" grass with no problem. I prefer not to bag my cuttings, and was happy to see this mower does a fine job of mulching the cuttings into very small pieces. My neighbors can believe how quiet the mower is, and after letting him borrow mine to cut his grass, his purchased one for himself. I highly recommend this mower.
This is a very easy to use, low maintenance quality product that is reasonably priced. Great value. Great product. Eco-friendly and performs very well. Appreciate that it has self-propelling feature that is adjustable speed, as well. Top notch product and excellent customer service!
I was looking for a large deck mower but not the riding type due to space constraints in my garage. I have almost a half acre yard and it is tough to get the job done with standard sized mowers. I bought this mower about a month and half ago, have been thoroughly impressed by the lightweight and excellent build quality. The only couple of issues I have faced are around battery life, 4+2 ah is not enough to get the job done on my yard and the minor annoyance around not being able to pull back once you release self propelled levers. I purchased a couple of other 60v Greenworks products that came with the battery, so between a 2.5ah, 4+2 (that comes with it) I am easily able to get the work done on my yard with some battery to spare. Excellent gas replacement mower and only one of this size in the market.
