First Use good but Glitches

Purchased 5-9 assembled mower without any problems. Didn't bother with the manual as it only required inserting the handle. First use 5-12. My yard is 10K sq ft. I was able to mow with single battery charge and still have two bars showing on handle monitor. My grass was not especially long but there were areas more dense than others, and the mower automatically increased power to compensate. I played a bit with the turbo mode. All worked well The overall work session was shorter than usual. Mower is light and easily maneuverable. I found a comfortable walking speed though that adjustment knob as pretty sensitive.
Overall very satisfied. BUT
One complaint/problem - the mower quit 3 times without any obvious cause. It just died, as if the battery got pulled. First time, I checked everything and all secure and OK. After each failure, mover restarted and work continued. IS there a heat issue? I live in central Florida. I am willing to consider the handle calipers which control the mower may be more sensitive than I expect. I will test this in future work sessions. It would be annoying if this is a characteristic of the mower. Unsure at this point if it will be sufficient cause to return the product.
I was skeptical about battery operated lawn mower but Greenworks does make good quality products. I bought 60v self propelled. Out of box took me 5min to set up. Fully charge battery lasts me more than hr of mowing with half used as self propelled. No issues so far!
I have owned this mower for several months and consistently provides me with great service...I am loving Green works products. Their customer support is excellent!
Originally, I wasn't 100% sure about my purchase of this mower or electric mowers in general, but it's been awesome so far. I've got a little over 0.2 acres and I'm pretty sure one battery charge will cut the whole thing as long as I keep it decently maintained. The mower itself seems to be well built and shipping was super fast. It isn't peak grass cutting season yet for Georgia, so we'll see how it really does in a few weeks, but I'm not too worried.
The only con I can think of about the mower so far is that the "plug" in the back for using the mulching function is a little too loose. After mowing, there's usually quite a bit of grass accumulated/stuck around the plug itself - more annoying than a problem though.
I'll definitely be looking into purchasing other Greenworks 60V tools!
Moved from 6.5 acres tired of gas dangerous everything about it .I get 3 mowings use bagger am disabled Highly recmend for older parents self propelled verry light iI mow off to side ond handed no complaints I like I said if your parents are at home this is a very safe can always pull the key.
So easy to take out of box, charge and start using. As an older first time mowing lawn and with almost half acre to tackle, I was delighted at how well the self propelled feature worked. Looking forward to years of use.
I have always had a gas mower and tools, I first switched to the GW 60v blower then got the chainsaw for small projects and even the trimmer when my gas one died. This season I was going to replace my mower, my last gas tool, and really shopped around and when I bought this one. I even told myself I will just return it if it doesn't perform. I am happy to say 3 months in and cutting every week, I am pleased with the mower. My .33 acre yard can be cut with just the 5.0h battery however having the backup battery from my other tool is nice to have as sometimes I forget to fully charge my 5.0 battery. The positives: Its quite compared to gas, the wife loves it and it make you realize how loud the neighbors gas tools are. The bagging option works really well even with wet or heavy grass. The negatives: The self propel takes a second to engage, then when you use it and let off it you need to rock the mower to get the back wheels to release as they are locked to only go forward so you can't pull back. This just takes a few cuts to get used to it then its fine. Overall this is a great tool with plenty of power and lives up to the claims on the GW website! I rarely give a product 5 stars but this product lives up to the hype.
