I was a lifelong gas-powered lawn mower user, but decided to go “green” with my latest purchase. After doing much research I decided to purchase a Greenworks battery-powered mower and don’t regret my choice. The Greenworks mower starts with a simple push of the button and I’m ready to cut. I love the relative quietness of the mower compared to my previous gas mowers. My lawn is about a 1/4 of an acre and I easily complete the mowing on a single charge of one of the two 4 volt batteries (I don’t need to engage self-propelled mode). The quality of the cut is good and my lawn looks great. All-in-all, I am greatly pleased with my Greenworks purchase and look forward to completing the collection with a battery- powered weed whacked and blower.
I have mowed my yard twice with this mower prior to this review so I would have an idea how it performs. There does not seem to be a lack of power at all although in the Spring when the grass is thicker it will be tested a little more. But so far, even through tall grass, it has not had any issues. In face, I have yet to hear the mower increase power on its own. For a steel deck mower with a 25" cutting width it is also relatively light. Speaking of that cutting width, it is definitely nice and does seem to cut down on the time it takes to cut the yard. Adjusting the cutting deck height is a breeze with the single handle lever and takes next to no effort. Battery life has been very good so far. I can mow my entire yard and at the very end it has just switched over to the 2nd battery. This is not using the turbo feature and only occasionally using the self propel. The regular "high efficiency" blades that come on it don't have as clean a cut as my Honda mower. I plan to try the high lift blades in the Spring to see what difference they make. I'll give up some battery life for a little bit better of a cut. Even so, I'm still pleased with the mower and love not having to worry about gas/oil/spark plug/filter on a gas powered version. Suggested improvements would be figure out how to do a side discharge, improve the cut just a bit, and figure out how to re-position the self propel levers as I have already bumped into them several times while mowing and worry I'm going to break one off. Other than that, very happy with it and look forward to many years of use. I already had a Greenworks 60V weed eater and blower so this was a natural selection for me as far as a battery powered push mower.
Great mower! I call it my green machine. Does a fine job mowing, I haven’t challenged it in any heavy or thick grass. One battery doesn’t last as long as the other. I find the machine is a little heavy with both batteries when I need to just push. So I just use one battery and switch batteries when I need to.
Bought this mower about a year ago and it has performed as advertised with two batteries and I can cover my 8000sf lawn without running out of power. Very reliable and quiet. Thought it was cool to be able to finish mowing in the evening with the headlights on too. I would recommend this machine to anyone who wants dependable equipment.
Just purchased a few weeks ago. Had a learning curve with rear wheel drive on the turn around while using self propelled on. I rarely use the self propelled because it is pretty light. Turbo mode is great for long thick areas.
I was very impress with the power this Lawn Mower has. The self propelled was the main reason I bought it not to mention the stand up feature it has. The lawn mower comes with two battery, I only used one and it took almost 45 mins to cut my complete lawn.
