Just received as a gift from my wife and mowed my lawn. It worked as good or better than I expected. Easy to operate and powerful. Nice even cut and stayed at near full charge after around 20 min. to mow my yard. So far very happy with it. I rated durability as good because I only used once so far and seems well made.
I would recommend this to a friend!

3 Great Benefits For My Neighbors and 3 for me
on October 2, 2016
Posted by: Off the Petro Grid
from Minneapolis, MN, United States
Gender:Male
There are 6 great benefits:
1) With 2 batteries, you never run out of charge.
2) Only 60 pounds with 10 inch rear wheels. Easy to push and maneuver. Can store it on the wall.
3) Elimination of pollution from small gas engines that is about 50 times (50 times !) worse than gas cars.
4) In terms of energy (oil well/coal mine to mower blade), it is about 10 times more efficient.
5) In terms of CO2 (oil well/coal mine to mower blade), the electric mower is about 14 times better.
6) I have eliminated another carburetor from my shop. No filter maintenance. No oil changes. No checking of the oil level.
ONE: It comes with two 2 amp-hour batteries. Each lasts about 30 minutes. Since the battery recharge time is also 30 minutes, this means the first battery is ready to go when the second battery is depleted. I need about 70 minutes of battery to mow the lawn. When the 2nd battery was empty, the 1st battery was already recharged and ready to go. How long does the battery last? It’s an irrelevant question.
TWO: Weighing only 60 pounds including the battery and with 10 inch rear wheels. It is easy to push and maneuver. So I don’t miss the self-propelled feature of my previous gas mower. The lawn mower has two speeds for the blade. When the lawn is light it operates at the lower motor speed. When the grass gets heavier and the mower senses the motor speed has dropped below a certain threshold, it kicks into the higher speed. It has one lever to change the height of the mower deck. It is very easy to adjust. The handle adjustments work well for my height of 6’-3”.
THREE: One hour of gas-powered lawn mowing produces as much pollution as four hours of driving a car. The average car burns about 12 gallons in 4 hours. So a gas mower is about 50 times worse than a car on a per-gallon basis. I mow my yard about 20 times a year. So I have just eliminated the pollution equivalent of 240 gallons of gasoline per year!
FOUR: I needed about 0.4 kWh (400 watt-hours) to mow the yard, instead of a quart of gasoline. In terms of energy, I used 1,350 Btuh instead of 28,500 Btuh. That’s right. The electric lawn mower engine is 20 times more efficient than the gas engine. Since power companies are around 35% efficient and since refineries (including the extraction process) are only 75% efficient, it’s more correct to say I used 4000 Btuh instead of 38000 Btuh. Still around a factor of 10.
FIVE: I am on XCel Energy’s Windsource program. Thus I am using a zero-carbon lawnmower and have eliminated 7 pounds of CO2 every time I mow the yard . Even using Xcel’s standard energy mix, the lawn mower only generates about one-half pound of CO2. So it is 14x better.
SIX) No maintenance of a small engine. Yahoo!!
My only wish list item would be fora left-side discharge chute that can be attached to the rear bagger outlet. I hope GreenWorks has a 2-stage snowblower in the near future.

Not as good as expected.

Mower is not as powerful as expected. Bogs down even when grass is not tall and kills the battery FAST! Definitely not made for Bermuda grass. Blades dull down very fast. Biggest issue is that some materials are cheap and starting to disintegrate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Crazy Power!!
on June 28, 2016

Brought this lawnmower home a week ago. I don't have a large lawn, but I needed a lawnmower that my wife could start and use and I didn't want to have to string power cords or have to have her pulling a starting cord endlessly only to have the machine not start.
This past winter (2015/2016), I'd purchased the 80V Greenworks snowblower and was so impressed with it that getting the lawnmower became a no brainer. Plus I'd have an extra battery for both the snowblower. (My driveway is a bit too big for one charge cleaning of a heavy wet snowfall)
To my surprise, the lawnmower came with TWO batteries!! Bonus! Now I have three batteries to power both machines.
Next, the lawnmower was almost fully assembled. Just had to attach the handle, lift the machine out of the box, charge the battery and decide if I wanted to use the bagger, to mulch or to use the side discharge. (All necessary pieces to do any of the three are included).
I had my snowblower 80V battery fully charged so on to the lawn.
As stated, my lawn is small so I absolutely expected to get it cut on one charge.
To see what kind of power was available, I lowered the deck to the second lowest setting - which was a good 1.5" lower than my previous lawnmower was cutting. The lawn is extremely thick with a lot of thatch & when previously I'd tried the same with my Toro lawnmower - the thickness of the grass would stall the machine. The new Greenworks 80V mower slowed momentarily and then the motor seemed to almost gear down and powered and rev'd right back to the same RPM as if it were just sitting on the driveway spinning.
It threw the grass well into the bag & did not plug going into the bag. It filled the bag till it was jammed before leaving any cut grass on the lawn and even picked up old leaves etc that were laying on the cut grass.
When I emptied the bag - I was happy to see that the opening was large enough that the grass emptied into my recycle bin with no extra shaking or having to grab grass to get it out of the bag. There are convenient handles at the top and back of the bag so it's easy to empty. Also, it hooked easily onto the lawnmower when I replaced the empty bag.
When I put the lawnmower away in the garage, I twisted the two locking tabs on the base of the handle to release the handle from it's push position (of which there are three or four adjustments for different sizes of operators). The handle swung up over the motor and down in front. I then removed the grass catcher bag, lifted the front of the lawnmower up to vertical and the lawmower is stored in a much smaller footprint.

Couldn't be happier and if it continues to perform like my other Greenworks lithium tools - I have to think I'll have it for LOT of years.

Greenworks GLM801600 80V Cordless Lawn Mower

I like everything about this lawnmower EXCEPT that I had wanted a self-propelled model, which Greenworks does not make...yet! Great on flat lawns; a bit difficult on hills and when you don't have much room to turn machine around. I can't exchange it because there is nothing to replace it with!
I would recommend this to a friend!
