More than expected of a mower

I used 80 V self propelled lawn mower past 2 springs to whack 3' tall weeds with up to 1" stalks. While it won't do that and climb uphill at the same time, there's no problem munching huge weeds while going downslope. And height adjustment allows passing over rocks up to ~3" rocks. Great tool!
I replaced my well used gas powered mower with the 80 v self propelled GreenWorks mower. I mow about 1/3 acre, and need the self propel feature less than 1/4 of the time. With the 4 amph battery purchased separately, I can finish with a battery needing a recharge. The mower is light and easy to push. With my GreenWorks blower, string trimmer, and an edger attachment, all my lawn care needs are satisfied. I would recommend this mower even if you think you don't want a battery powered mower.
Due to pandemic desired a mower which was battery-operated. This unit fits the bill perfectly. Have not run the unit to the point of total battery discharge but have mowed for 45 min. periods. Light weight. On slight slopes you almost do not need to use the self-propelled feature.
I am very pleased with this product after just one use. The battery charged in under an hour. Height adjustment is very simple and easy to do. Starting involves the push of a button...no more cord pulling. The speed adjustment of the blade takes a little getting used to. Some grass clippings are left on the lawn in thicker areas. I have 3/4 of an acre, and battery easily lasted as long as I needed.
No problem cutting 1/2 acre lot with two batteries provided even had surplus charge on the second battery. Unbelievably quiet compared to regular combustion engine.
I replaced my 20 year old Honda self propelled mower with the Greenworks 21" non self propelled and am very happy with my decision. My yard is very small and takes as much time to edge the sidewalks, driveway, fencing as it does to mow. It only took less than 1/2 charge from a 2ah battery to mow my yard! Disclaimer: I own several motorcycles and drive a gas guzzling suburban. This was never about my desire to save the planet, it was about buying a mower that is easy to use, easy to maintain, and does the job. Mission accomplished!
