I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this mower and so far I’m very happy with it. I’ve only used it about 3-4 times so far since I purchased it towards the end of summer. The controls are pretty easy to use and the batteries charge quickly. Today I used the mower to mulch all the leaves in my yard and it did a great job however the batteries only lasted about 25-30 minutes because I was using the turbo feature to power through the leaves. So I probably won’t do that again and only use the turbo feature for certain smaller sections. The mower is pretty quiet compared to gas mowers and the self propulsion is a great feature especially since my lawn is uneven. As I said haven’t had too much experience with cutting my lawn yet but so far I love this mower. Highly recommended.
After many happy, but loud, years with my Honda gas mower, I am thrilled I tried this Greenworks mower. I still have the Honda if I need it for especially difficult leaf pickup or wet grass. But I've used this new Greenworks twice and i could not be happier. Quiet, powerful, works like a charm. Feels very gratifying knowing the mower delivers on all fronts as the advertising specified. I have a decent sized front, side and back yard, but with two 4.0 batteries installed, I only power through 50% of the one battery. Very impressive. All indications are it cuts grass as well as my Honda. Did I mention I couldn't be happier. And at this very moment it's tucked away vertically in my shed! Battery charged real fast. Two more days and I get to take it out to play!

Easy to use lawn mower. Battery life is good. It’s hard to get use to the self propelled. There is a hesitation before it kicks in and when you stop the rear wheels lock up until you release the self propelled function and move the mower forward manually. Just takes. It takes a little while to get used to it. 4 year warranty is great. The plastic wheels concerns me but no issues so far.
After using it for the first time I was very pleased with its performance. It exceeded my expectations. My grass had not been mowed for 2 weeks a the mower did an excellent job. I would recommend it to everyone.
I've tried a couple of different electric lawn mowers and frankly, I hated mowing the grass because there was never enough power and the battery would die halfway through my yard. I would then have to stop for several hours (and sometimes have to wait until the next day) to finish the yard. Ever since switching to this Greenworks 60V, I can easily finish mowing my entire lawn with only a single charge on the batteries. Lots of the time, I have finished before even dipping into the second battery! The power is amazing, as it easily chews through thick patches of grass. The mulching option is also fantastic, so I don't even have to bag and empty clippings anymore! Best purchase I've made in a long time!
The battery life is to short. After fully charging both batteries in less than 10 minutes they need to be recharged.

Hello John Montgomery,
We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the run time of this battery. Depending on the tool, 10 minutes when using this battery could be normal. However, in most cases a 10-minute run time on a 4.0AH battery would be considered abnormal. The run time varies depending on the tool that it is being used in but also the load acting against the unit while in use. So that we can appropriately address this issue, we ask that you please reach out to us directly at 1-888-909-6757 or submit an email to info@greenworkstools.com for further troubleshooting. We hope to hear from you soon.
The mower had an immediate positive impact. It reduced my cutting times by 20%. Unlike my previous battery mower, I no longer have to stop and change batteries. It takes about 1 hour to cut my yard and I run the mower on Turbo and in mulch mode the entire time. I believe I can get at least 1 1/2 hours runtime. IT also doesn't sacrifice quality. My cuts are even and no visible clippings remain when done. It also is very simple to store vertically. Overall, this is an excellent and reliable mower.
