Quiet, fast, comfortable, and easy to use.

I purchased this PRO 80V 42" CROSSOVERZ Zero Turn Lawn Mower about two months ago. So far, it's been performing up to or above my expectation. It's hard to tell it's on after starting the mower. It's fairly quiet even with the slow blade speed chosen. However, it gets a little noisier when engaging the high blade speed. In either case, it's much quieter than my old gas engine riding mower. The battery set (6 at a time) lasts mowing my 1/2-acre yard twice at a minimum before having to use my other backup set (came extra with the purchase - Total of 12-80V). I'm very happy with this purchase and looking forward to investing in battery powered tools going forward.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not what I was expecting at all.

Purchased a simular model back in Dec 2022 to repalce my Honda. Not bad BUT, qaulty control is very bad. WHen I forst used it I thought hummm, ok but then a speak developed. Turns out the bot holding the right tube was not tightened. Since then it now creaks and clunks. I puchsed my Honda used 8 years ago and it never clunked, creaked or squeeked. The power and run time on the Greenworks is good plus it's quiet. However, the cutting quality is about as good as what you may expect with a cheap mower. I find I have to do two passes of areas. Bottom line, I am not happy and look at my HOnda and think, I shoudl just use this for it does a much better job. WOudl I recomened Greenworks, no, woudl I buy again, NO. NOw I am stuck with an expesive mower that is about as good as a low end mower you woudl by at cheap retailor. Sorry Greenwork, but I did expect much better!
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love it... 11 hours so far

Had an issue after shipping where the blades didn't fire up... tech support eventually helped me figure out to unscrew the control panel and plug the main cable back in. No biggie. Very fun to operate and I've put it through some light abuse clearing a small wooded area in my back yard.
I love that it has a "trunk" to haul a bag of seed or whatever and been pulling a Gorilla cart with no problems.
Also got the leaf mower attachment that seems to work ok as long as the designated blades are installed. The plastic tab that connects to the mow deck kind of sucks and I expect that to not last. This part could use some design improvement as it should be a lot quicker/easier to install and remove IMO.
The batteries last about 2-3 rounds for mowing my quarter acre but is a pain to have to remove all of them to charge as they are rather heavy. I have to put 2 of the 3 chargers on separate circuits to not trip a breaker. They do charge pretty fast though. Greenworks... I'd gladly pay for an adapter or something that allows me to charge the batters while still in the machine!
All in all, I'll never go back to a push mower or gas zero turn.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective

Poor Performance

I first used this mower today. I have less than 1/4 acre and my fully charged battery completed about 1/2 of my yard I am very disappointed and expected much more for the money
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello notdelighted,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower. It is important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life! This unit is advertised as running up to 60 minutes with a fully charged 5Ah battery, but it goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains.
Here are a few mowing tips to help achieve the optimal run time.
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months.
3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily.
4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging.
5) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed.
We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). We are happy to help you further. All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

Almost perfect
on May 31, 2023
Posted by: Bill254
from Texas
Gender:Male
This is my 5th 80v tool (18” chainsaw, pole saw, weed eater, blower). It cuts great, has good speed, and runs smooth. It takes me more than one 2AH battery to do my yard (16 pallets of grass on about a quarter acre). Two things would make it perfect - add a phone holder, and look at a better way to release the rear wheels when you are under self propelled operation. You have to release the wheel drive lever 3-5’ before you either turn or pull the mower back so the wheel drive releases. The wheels will lock up if you don’t give it enough time/distance.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

Goodbye CO2, hello fresh air.

I’ve had this mower for a week now and I’ll never go back to a gas mower unless I have to due to property size. This mower is perfect for what I need. It cuts well, is light and super quiet.
The main reason I switched is because the toxic emissions from gas products. My two year old son loves being out with me near the tools so I did research and landed on this Greenworks for several factors:
Steel deck
Simple construction
Good reviews
Good price
Simple construction
Good reviews
Good price
The only trade offs are battery maintenance and battery charge but I’ll deal with those for the benefits this battery mower offers.
I enjoy every time I take it out.
Some of my favorite features are:
How quiet it is
The one lever height adjustment
How durable it feels
The classic look

All in all I’m super happy with this mower.

Runs great, cuts great, but hard to put in reverse even with the seat all the way back. I have to push the handles hard into my chest to go in reverse.
