The mower works well and is relatively easy to store in a vertical position which gives a small footprint as compared to a mower that doesn't allow a fold up scenario. The battery is long lasting for my lawn area. Nice to know I reduced my carbon footprint a tad.
Until now we always needed a gas mower at the begining of the growing season to have the power necessary to get through tall grass, but no more noisy smelly gas mower now with the Pro 80V
Easy to operate. Cuts the grass well. I whish the battery would last longer, but I can switch out the batteries from my other Geenworks tools while it recharges. So overall I am happy with the unit.
Rather than sharpening my old blade, which was really dinged up, I bought a new one...they're so inexpensive and easy to swap out, and very sharp, that it was a no-brainer. Make sure you look at your actual blade before ordering, you'll find that it has the replacement part number right on it.
I have just about every other greenworks 80v tool and they all do a pretty good job except this one. My biggest complaint is the quality of the cut. It consistently leaves stray blades of grass (a problem I never had with a gas mower). It does a good job on some parts of the lawn but not the denser areas with thicker blades of grass. Which means I have to mow about 1/2 of my yard twice. When I contacted them they ended up sending me a replacement mower but the results were the same. If I was still within my window I would return it. Another downside is the grass bag sits low. So if you have a long stride your feet will end up kicking the bag each time.
On the plus side it is quite and no dealing with gas or the smell of the exhaust from the lawnmower.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Jordanb,
We are happy to hear you contact us and we were able to help you with a warranty exchange. Sorry to hear this did not resolve the issue you are experiencing. When the lawn is being cut uneven, this can indicate a few different things. The first being that the lawn itself is rough or uneven. However, if this is not the case then it is possible that the grass is too tall, or the cutting height is set too low for the type of grass. Try raising the cutting height and reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 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. Hoping these suggestions help!
