I bought this in mid March and I will say I am 100% satisfied. I have mowed 10 times since I bought it and no problems. Makes a nice cut (example below) Here is a list of things that may help you 1.) When using self-propelled disengage the last little push forward( a few inches) and the mower will pull back with no wheel lock. 2.) If you use the bag do not let it get to full. It will shorten run time and change the angle of your blade. 3.) Balance sharpen the blade. 4.) Do not store your battery fully charged 5.) Overlap about 10% from your last cut pass or you will get stray blades of grass uncut.
I mow 8000 sq ft total and I use the same battery (4ah) for the weed trimmer too. (bad idea as the 4ah battery is heavy). I always finish everything with 30% battery. I do not bag and mulch the grass in. . .. someone else complained the self-propelled is to slow... I have no problem with the speed and full speed is too quick. I run it at half speed and it is a nice comfortable walk.
This is my first battery operated lawn mower. I've watched and waited for years to see them get stronger and batteries last longer. I am pleased I waited. This little self propelled mower can mow my .25 acre property with battery to spare. Then I put battery in my new 80V backpack blower and clear off the sidewalk and driveway. This model is much lighter than my previous gas self-propelled model. I can push it up my graded lawn with ease without using the self-propelled feature, though I appreciate the self-propelled assist when called upon for the long incline runs across the back yard. The self-adjusting power feature means the mower takes a moment to get up to a good walking speed (which is also adjustable) using self-propelled feature, but once there it maintains well. Cutting performance is just as good as my conventional gas mower. Well done Greenworks! Customer service even walked me though a hiccup at first use (push and hold the green start button first, then engage the blade lever to hear mower start) and gave me other tips on my other purchases, saving another call. They were courteous, professional and very helpful. A good experience for me. Now I feel confident in replacing all the gas yard equipment.
I have never owned a battery-operated mower. I love it!
The charge lasts long enough to mow my good-sized city lot more than once. It lasts long enough to mow the entire yard once and the front and sides another time. I mow my front elevation twice a week.
Kentucky is hot, humid and wet. Grass grows thick here. This mower can take it.
As a great-grandmother, I appreciate the push-button start. I like the mower's various speeds to prolong battery life, and the mower's sound is much kinder on my ears. I can mow early in the day and feel confident I am not disturbing the neighborhood.
Changing the mowing deck's height is the easiest EVER. Pull one lever for the whole deck.
The 21-inch path is not noticeably different from my gas-powered Craftsman mower.
My mower is not self-propelled. I don't need one. This mower is light weight.
Works great--more than enough power to get the job done

I was on the fence about buying an electric mower for my new house, because the property is over half an acre. I didn't want to have to stop in the middle of mowing to charge my battery, but I also didn't want to buy another gas machine. So I bought this lawn mower and an extra battery just to be safe--it turns out that I don't need the extra battery to mow my lawn, but it's still nice having a backup. It seems that one battery is just enough to mow my lawn, but that's without using the self-propelled option.
The added benefits are the lack of emissions, no more smelling like gas after mowing the lawn, the quiet motor, and the fact that it folds up nicely for easy storage.
Overall, I definitely recommend the mower to everyone.
Super impressed with the cut, easy start and aelf propel. It is so much quieter that my old gas mower. A great buy, for sure! Love it so much that I bought a greenworks trimmer today! I'm sure I will love it, too
I purchased this mower a month ago my grass was super thick and about 3.5 inches long on my first mow. I have just over a quarter achre and it filled the bad three times but I still had a third battery life to go when I was done
