[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this little rider this month, received on Wednesday and had the first go on our yard today. I am very pleased with the ease of driving this mower. Still learning but so far this mower performs better than expected. The only issue is figuring out how to adjust for mulching as I thought the lever was in the correct position but there was a whole lot of grass inside the area in back. Next purchase will be the bagger attachment.
Arrived in good condition but had trouble with the parking brake. The right brake cable was not hooked up correctly so we had to fix that. And then the parking brake was so tight it wouldn't work. My husband spent quite awhile adjusting the brake so it would work. Kind of disappointing in Greenworks quality control
Pros: Convenient, Quiet, Environmentally Safe
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only had this mower for a month but the few times I’ve used it I can say it’s going well. The dual 60v 5amp batteries make easy work of my 3/4 acre of lawn. It’s comfortable and the speed control is a nice feature. I’m looking forward to mowing through the rest of this year.
I bought this mower in March of this year (2024). I live in the south and mow just under 1/2 acre. The first month I used this mower it was great and I would have given this mower 5 stars based on the first 3 or 4 mowings. I managed to mow the entire yard in about an hour on a single charge and the cut looked great. Since it has been a wet spring where I live and the humidity has been high, meaning the grass is never completely dry. I mow every 6-7 days (never more than 7 days between mowings) and since summer kicked into full swing, I have to use the Turbo button for the entire time I am mowing. I can no longer mow the entire yard on a single charge and it is taking closer to an hour and 45 minutes of mowing time as you must mow slow and occasionally clean out the deck. If you live in a warm humid climate where the grass grows fast, this mower is simply inadequate for a 1/2 acre yard even though it has a 25 inch cut. I am sure it will perform great in other parts of the country but I will be going back to a gas powered mower that can handle high lift blades and hopefully selling this mower to someone with a 1/4 acre or less. Another quirk I noticed is the self propelled has become harder and harder to disengage with use. The drive disengages but the mower will not roll backwards. Again, initially this was fine but it is getting harder and harder to get the wheels to disengage every time I mow. I would not recommend this mower to anyone that lives in the South.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Ed73. We are sorry to hear you do not recommend the 60V SP Lawn Mower. Many customers have had great success with this model and come to enjoy it in our product line up. We wish it could have provided the same experience for you. In the South, a few common grass types include Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, and St. Augustine. Generally, these types should be mowed once every 5-7 days during the growing season, but this may vary based on your lawn's specific needs. We would recommend cutting accordingly to how quickly your grass grows, please note runtimes vary due to cutting conditions. We also suggest, a mowing height between 2.5 to 3 inches is best for most of the season, except during summer stresses when the lawn mowing height should be raised one-half inch to mow at 3 to 3.5 inches. Raising the mowing height provides more insulation from summer heat and reduces water loss from your soil. The self-propelled feature is not usable in reverse. They are designed to lock when pulled back to prevent damage to the drive belt. If you are using the self-propelled feature, the mower will attempt to move forward and will be difficult to move backwards. You would have to release the self-propelled lever to pull the mower backwards while still holding onto the start lever. We hope this helps. We hope this information helps you understand our product better, and perhaps encourages you to give it a second chance! If you have further questions and would like us to investigate this with you, we would be more than happy to discuss the matter with you please contact Greenworks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
