Our small company now has two of these mowers. The first one (for the office) is so good, we bought a second one for my "home office".
We do our own landscaping and maintenance on weekends, to save on having to hire groundskeeping staff.
I have to say, these mowers are quiet, powerful and bullet-proof. We've never had a single problem in their entire lifespan (so far!) and aside from re-sharpening the blades every year, there's absolutely zero maintenance if you keep them clean and lubricated.
The "auto-speed" feature that speeds up the motors when encountering heavy vegetation took some getting used-to, but one quickly learns how to maneuver so as to keep the motor running at higher speed all the time. That is actually my only nit to pick - aside from this issue, I have never in my entire life had a mower as good as this one.
My mower switches to higher power when required ok, but never returns to normal mode. I have to stop and re-start it. Is it defective or a poor design?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Mart2018
The GreenWorks 80V integrates a patented Smart Cut power saving technology. This feature helps in adjusting the rotation speed of the blades, depending on the type of grass being worked on. In the event you are working on a thick type of grass, the Smart Cut technology feature will prompt the machine to speed up the rotations of the blades.

Used once so far, and very happy. Easy to assemble, Much quieter than my gas mower. Did my entire lawn (about half acre), on one charge with no problems. I like the self propelled feature, my lawn is fairly flat with small inclines here and there, handled those with no problems. No more gas, oil, tune ups etc. etc.
I have only used it once, but I am impressed with this product. I am looking forward to using it again. I really like the way it folds and stores. It would be nice to have better battery charging instructions. I also wish the self propelled wheels would go loose when the drive bar is released. It’s ability to cut is great and the duration is good. Looking forward to getting more products from Greenworks.
I’m always a little apprehensive ordering things online for fear of something requiring a lot of assembly but had it up and running in 10 minutes. Very easy! Easy to use with lots of power. Much lighter than my old gas mower and now no need to wear the air filter and ear protection headphones. Love being able to store it vertically. I could mow my yard 5 times on a charge. Thanks for the great product!
I love this mower. I don't like dealing with gas, running to the gas station and such, dealing with oil in the mower. This machine has all the power of any gas mower I ever used. I love that you can stop and start it easilly, unlike gas where because of the pull-action where you want to have as few engine stops as possible. I let my backyard go this year due to rain and vacation, the grass was up to my hip, and the mower went right through it without any issue. Very glad to have the 5Ah battery, I have about 18,000sqft of grass, so along with my other 2Ah batteries, I can mow non-stop.
I bought this mower recently to replace my previous mower which used gasoline and was needing serviced. I find that the battery doesn't last as long as I thought it was going to. The mower only runs about 20 minutes on a full charge.....it was advertised to run for 60 minutes. I find that it automatically shifts to higher gear to help cut the higher grass and I guess that sucks the life out of the battery faster.
