Best mower ever. Easy to use, and no messy gas. The self propelled feature makes it fast and effortless. The batteries last for front and back yard and charge very quickly. Love my green works tools!
Easy to use and it does a very good job. Takes a lot less effort to mow. The cleanup is much easier as well as storage because you can stand it vertically for storage and cleaning.
Everything is good except for the battery life is not as advertised! It just lasted about 20 mins, I have to use 2 batteries to finish my work ,kinda of disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello LoveLinesS,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are feeling let down by the run time that you are currently receiving. The run time is dependent on the load acting against the unit among other factors.
On your next mow, please utilize the following tips to extend your run time!
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. 3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily. 4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging.

I purchased this mower after multiple years of dealing with constant issues with my gas rider. By the time it arrived, some of my grass had grown to almost knee high, but I raised it to its highest level, and it smoothly ran through it, without issue. I'm so glad that I made this purchase!
no major complaints, very powerful up hills, easy height adjust and handles taller grass like a gas unit. My only (minor) issue is with the direct drive if you are mowing up hill you need to get off the self propelled paddle while still moving up, it stays engaged and does not release to let gravity assist back down the hill with out another push up hill, very minor usage quirk. Batteries are unreal how long they last, I have yet to have it switch over to battery #2 and my lawn would use a tank of gas on the 25" powered gas unit to finish, speechless. Satisfied++
