It's Pretty Good!

Exceeds my expectations in terms of battery life per use (can't speak to long term)--and they don't really seem to advertise that once one battery runs out, you can charge it while you're running on the second battery. Very helpful for a big yard. Quality seems top notch, including the charger which has cooling fans. Folds up nice. Assembly is minimal and easy.
What keeps me from 5 stars is the cutting quality is a little bit subpar compared to my old (and dull) gas mower--more often I have to double-pass thick spots. Not too big a deal though. The more annoying part is pretty well covered in other reviews: when you disengage the self-propel it takes a solid couple seconds until you can roll those wheels backwards, like for changing direction and pivoting. Quite annoying, really. I'd probably go 3.5 stars if given the option.
That said, net-net, I'm happy with it and would still recommend it.
This thing is awesome. No cords, easy charging, cuts through tall grass with ease, self-propelled makes hills a pleasure. If you need a new mower or just want one, go get this one today.
Can anyone show a picture of where the gearbox oil is supposed to go? The manual shows it's near the left rear wheel. Clearly if you're comparing my mowers picture with that of the manual you can clearly see there is no gearbox oil at stated location? Or am I blind?
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Powerful
Upgraded from a gas push mower that was over 20 years old. After constant maintenance, dealing with gas and frustrating hard starts I finally gave in and went electric. The Greenworks mower is so much easier to use. It starts at the push of a button, is much lighter and easier to maneuver and it stores upright to save space. The battery doesn't quite last the 45 minutes or so that was claimed but it does charge quickly so that does make up for it.
Replaced my riding tractor w/ Greenworks Pro 25" Self-Propelled Lawn Mower

I purchased the Pro 60V Brushless 25" Self-Propelled Lawn Mower 2/ 2 4.0AH Batteries and Charger with a little skepticism that the batteries would support doing my lawn. The first time using the mower, the batteries only lasted about 75-80% of the lawn. Unknowingly, the batteries need to be broken in. I almost spent an extra $300 on a 6.0AH battery to support cutting my entire lawn in one effort. The second time I used the mower, the batteries supported cutting my entire lawn and my neighbors back yard. Also picked up a lot of leaves in the process. Love the twin blades and the turbo feature for bagging. Mulch feature is excellent as well. The mower is smart enough to know when to apply extra power to get through thick areas or areas with excess cuttings. Before I purchased this mower, I had read a few reviews concerning the self propelled feature. What I found was the feature likes to stay engaged for about a second or two after releasing the self propel lever. To avoid tugging the lawn mower back towards you, just leave the lever go about 2-3 feet before reaching the point of pulling the mower back. Smooth sailing. I am really happy that I purchased this mower with a 25" wide cut. Replaced my riding tractor that had a 42" wide cut. No more gas or gas cans, oil or oil changes including disposal of same or clouds of smoke from the engine. Walking behind the mower in or out of self propel is easy and keeps me in better health as well. If you buy one, you won't be disappointed.
