The machine is working very good. The blade height is limited a too much, it is missing the 1/2" settings. I found that the bag falls off frequently there is no way to lock it in place.
Bought this for the width and low maintenance. I was pleasantly surprised how it was so much more. I have a 1/2 acre of uneven terrain. A bit of it is uphill and it's so easy to mow now with the self propelled. It's very quiet, cuts great, and the battery life is great as well. Love that I don't have to do oil changes anymore and it's better for the environment. I've recommended this to my neighbors after they have seen how quick I can do my lawn now.
I purchased this mower to maintain a small yard area around my rural farmhouse and have been extremely pleased with its performance. I have been searching for a tractor service to mow the rest of my property, but can't find a suitable service. In my frustration I decided to try my mow a driving path to my shed, and to my delight, I was successful! This machine has the power of a gas mower, but is lightweight and very easy to manage for this 63-year- old grandmother. The battery lasts about an hour, and by then I'm ready to rest anyway. 30 minutes for me and the battery to recharge and go again. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
I purchased this to complement my Greenworks blower and string trimmer, which I have been happy with. I love how quiet this mower is and surprised by the power. Now I can cut my lawn any time I like without having to worry about disturbing the neighbors! Nice machine.
I have used the lawn mower to cut my yard three times now. Quality seems good. A single battery on one charge is more than adequate for the 30 minutes to cut the grass. I am using the mulching feature and it does a very nice job. The amount of effort to push this is not a factor (I am 58) and requires just a bit more than walking behind a self propelled. However, I imagine if you use the bag it will become a lot harder to push as the bag fills up.
Really love the ease of use and comfortability. Battery life is as advertised. I can mow my .3 acre lot with about 1-1.5 battery charge. It's quieter than my gas mower for sure and so much easier to maintain. My only complaint is that it just doesn't make an even cut. Every pass I make I'm left with longer blades of grass left behind and I have to make additional passes. I never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height off. Currently using the mulching blades. I haven't tried using the max lift blades that come with, but it's my understanding that's supposed to be used for bagging, which I'm not looking to do (plus I don't want to drain the batteries faster).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello johndoe75
Thank you for your honest feedback! If the grass is too tall try raising the cutting height and reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 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. Hope this suggestion help!
