This mower is perfect. The lighter weight of it allows me, as an older woman to still mow my own lawn. But it's not too light. If feels solid and strong and I expect it to last a long time. The batteries provide enough power to mow my lot sized lawn. I was so impressed with the design I purchased a Green Power weed eater. I purchased it on line and the price was much lower than in the stores.
First, the good news: the mower is fairly quiet and lightweight, so it's easy to work with. The bad news is that the battery performance is terrible. My lawn is about a half acre and it takes three charges to mow it, which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take almost two hours to fully charge them. The description says that the batteries take 40 minutes to charge, which isn't even close to the actual time. Because of this, completing a job that would take an hour with a gas mower takes five hours with this one. And, yes, I mow when the grass is dry, rarely use the self propelled feature (why did I pay for it if I shouldn't use it?) and keep the cut length set to high. Really disappointed in this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This will complete our mowing requirements. We have greenworks 48v battery operated mower and we are completely satisfied with that product. With that confidence we bought this blower. As of now there are no issues with this item
We bought this setup for our son who is twelve to do lawns this summer. We love the safety of the battery. No gas or oil to mess with. It’s easy to move and lightweight. It’s the perfect size for a small person. The only downside is that the wheels are any bigger as we have to have it on the tallest setting compared to a 3 on our old mower.
Easy to use. I love it! If you’re on the fence, but it. You will not be disappointed. I’m going to purchase more Greenworks yard tools. The batteries are interchangeable with one another, that’s a plus.
