I’ve mowed my grass three times with it. Love the mowers concept but does not cut clean the first time have to mow a second time in another direction. My lawn is three months old. Biggest issue is the battery goes dead after 32 minutes of operation.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Elrond,
thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate to hear that the run time is unsatisfactory. The run time of a lawnmower is dependent on the load acting against the unit and fluctuates depending on the height setting, the terrain, grass height, type of grass, whether you are mulching, using self-propelled function etc - there are so many factors to consider. The run-time of a battery would depend on the load acting on the unit while in use (speed, terrain, unit height, grass height, and density). Please be aware that the more power being used from the lawn mower (i.e. lawn mower speed, terrain, grass height, density, etc.), the faster the battery charge will drain. Here are a few tips to help you extend the run time. 1) Set the mower to the highest cutting height (or 1/3 of the length of grass), mow no more than 1/3 of the total length at a time. 2) Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass and ensure that grass is dry. We hope these tips will help you with the issue you have encountered, however, if they do not please kindly contact us at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com. We would be happy to look into this for you.
I purchased the mower last week, my first electric. I have been nothing but impresses by this lawnmower. Everything from the performance, the ergonomics, down to the cool lime green/black paint. I four see being a loyal greenworks customer for years to come.
We got this to fill in for a gas powered mower that is having issues with the self propelled feature. This mower cuts great. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that after watching several you tube videos the cutting time is not as long as advertised. This should come with 2 batteries. We have a small double residential lot and have to stop and recharge to complete the yard. Batteries are crazy expensive. Please send us a spare!!!
I bought this for my 78 year old mother and she loves it. She has a very big yard so the larger deck is handy. She likes not having to deal with gasoline and being able to easily fold it for storage in her small garage. It cuts well. She has learned that in order to get the most out of the battery to make sure she has it on the right height before cutting the grass. She does wish the batteries would last a little bit longer though
I was worried that this lawn mower was not going to work for me but when i used it it was awesome. Power was enough to handle my medium yard and very surprised that battery out lasted the time i needed to cut entire yard. I am able to cut when it is cool early in the morning or late in the evening without waking or bothering the neighbors. My only regret is that buying an extra battery 60v 4ahr is almost impossible to get and if you find one it is extremely expensive. You figure they would offer a second 60 v 4ahr battery as a perk of some kind. All in all very satisfied with it and wife is even to cut with it a lot safer than a GAS POWERED ONE. Thanks
