Great product, well built! I already owned the 60v blower and string trimmer and after the great results I got from those tools I decided to purchase the 25 inch self propelled lawn mower. I am so happy I did! I really like the build quality and convenience of this awesome mower.
It was time to purchase a new lawn mower that was easy enought for my wife to use. I did not want to deal with storing gas for the mower and it had to be easy to start and operate. Greenworks 60V 25in Dual Blade Self Propelled Mower simply works. After unboxing the only assembling it needed 2 bolts put into the handle and to insert the mulching plug fully (was in place but not fully clipped into place) and that was all. My wife was able to mow our entire 1/4 acre lot utilizing only one of the two batteries and still had 40-50 percent battery life left once completed.
Used the mower for the first time and it is great! Easy to assemble, great handle height compared to other mowers, stores nicely with the fold down handle, plenty of power as well.
I bought this for our jungle in the back yard. It did quick work of the lawn that we have and it's very easy and versatile. Could use a bigger bag but hey can't have everything
I was looking for the 82v commercial 25" mower, but it is only available at authorized retailers. There are none within 100 miles of me. So, I thought I would try this one. I used the mower twice so far with a fully charged 4ah and 2ah battery. I had run times of 54 minutes and 48 minutes, using the self-propelled feature roughly half of that time. The mower cuts well, but the advertised up to 100 minute run time (90 minutes listed further down on the website) is no where near accurate for actual cutting. Customer service did agree to send an additional 2ah battery, but that only gets me to roughly 68 minutes.
I just used my mower for the first time yesterday. I cut on a little over of a third of an acre with a lower level walkout, so I have some decent slopes I have to manage, and it managed the hills wonderfully. The mower did a great job cutting, it was great having the wider deck which cut down my cut time from a 21 inch deck it replaced. It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes and the batteries were pretty close to being done, but I probably used more power because of the hills. The self propulsion moves at a very good pace and does a good cut. The ease of raising and lower the deck height is pretty awesome, it makes changing the height near curbs and sidewalks easy and prevents scalping the lawn.
The only downside I see to this mower was that I have a lot of cut ins, which require me to go from self propulsion to manual, and several times as I transitioned, I mistakenly eased up on the mower handle at the same time as the propulsion handle, since they are squeezed by the same hand, and if you ease up on the mower at all, the engine cuts off. It's easy to restart, and I think its a beginner user error more than anything else, but that would be my one initial concern, and don't see it as enough of an issue to change my review.
I do have a trimmer and backpack blower as well, and an edger attachment is on its way to me. I bought the trimmer with battery, but opted not to buy any batteries for the backpack blower. I haven't used the trimmer yet, assuming I can edge and trim on the 2.0 battery and then cut, I can charge that battery while mowing and have enough charge to run the backpack blower after, given that I used up a little more mower battery than I thought I would, I may have to think about getting one more battery to make sure I can do a complete yard maintenance from start to finish without waiting on batteries.
I am very pleased with my mower. I have a 1/2 acre tall fescue yard with a long steep drainage ditch down one side. I mow it in the tallest setting and only use the self propelled feature going up hill. It tackled my whole yard on one charge, it takes me right at 1 hour to mow using mulching plate. I have mowed my yard for 20 years now with a 22" gas mower without self propel. It is really nice to not have to buy gas or do maintenance other than clean the mower and charge batteries. The other thing I really like is how little space it takes up when stored. I have two kids with bicycles, dirt bike, four wheeler, wife's car, and my tools it garage it fits right up against the wall with no problem.
