So quiet!

Just did my first mow today and super happy with the results. A) It's suprisingly quiet and B) it's so easy to start and use. I'll never go back to a gas mower.
After reading many great reviews I decided to buy this mower. I'm guessing the people who gave those great reviews never owned other mowers previously. I own .25 acres with a large house in the middle of it. My yard is small. The battery only lasts for 30 to 45 minutes which doesn't always allow me to mow my entire yard before the mower dies. In the spring we had some rain so I had to mow twice a week to keep the grass as short as possible because of the short battery span and the battery would still die before getting my yard completely mowed. The mower only has a single blade instead of a double blade, which doesn't cut the best. It allows grass that is laying over to stay laying over and leaves skippers. Also it doesn't pick up leaves when driving over them. Previously I owned a double blade gas mower that would spin fast and suck the grass upright and cut it off very nicely, but not this mower! It looks great and is lightweight but that's now a reason to buy a mower. It does not do the job! Buy a gas powered mower instead!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Rejected BuyAHonda
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you're not completely satisfied with the run time of your 60V 21-Inch Self Propelled Brushless Lawn Mower. The run time for this lawn mower with a 5Ah battery is up to 60 minutes. The run time may vary slightly depending on cutting technique and the condition of your lawn. We based the run time off optimal conditions-load. Here are some tips that will help to achieve better 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 at a time. 2. Mow when grass is dry. 3. Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass. 4. Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater. 5. New or thick grass may require a narrow cutting path. 6. For the best results keep the lawn under 4" in length and walk at a steady pace to allow the blades to cut efficiently If you would like to contact us, we would be happy to speak with you about the tool and sort out any issues you've been having we can be reached at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com
We bought this for my moms house. She lives in town with a smaller front and backyard. Not having a cord makes it soo much easier ! And it’s a great price.
I was excited to change from a gasoline powered lawn mower to a battery powered one. I did my researched and purchased a Greenworks 60V (model #MO60L410). The convenience of not having to buy and store gasoline and change oil is worth the additional cost of a battery powered mower. However, the 60V mower has a few negatives. First, the battery doesn't have a long enough run time, so I purchased an additional battery which cost about half the price of the mower. This significantly increased the cost. Second, the mower blade doesn't turn fast enough to cut all grass blades which causes re-mowing. Finally, replacement blades are expensive and only available online.
As a professional landscaper this has been a lifesaver. Many of my properties are located on a lake and include multi-level terraces. This lightweight, easy option makes my job more productive each day.
My husband and I bought this mower last spring when our gas mower died. We love it. The mower does a great job cutting the lawn evenly. The only drawback is we have to recharge the battery about 3/4 of the way of mowing. We have a corner lot and it takes about an hour to mow. We just need to buy a second battery this year.
