The batteries can mow a 1/4 acre IF you set the speed to the lowest but do a great job
I have mowed the yard twice and the result is excellent but it takes a few days to mow my acre as I do need to charge in between mows
Now after my 4th charge, my charger lights are always flashing red so I have to guess when the batteries are charged.

Hello Sanna,
We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower. It is important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life, here are a few mowing tips to help achieve the optimal run time.
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. 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.
3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily.
4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging.
5) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed.
Regarding the charger, we are sorry to hear that you have encountered an issue with your charger. Please try resetting it. In some cases that the charger has been plugged in for an extended period, it may malfunction. Simply unplug it for a few minutes and then plug it back in and try another outlet.
If you continue to experience this issue, it is likely that the battery or charger may be experiencing a fault.
We hope these tips will help. If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please contact Greenworks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

Mower works great. Easy and light. My only complaint is battery life. The two 5AH batteries just aren't enough to mow more than 1/10th of an acre. Even without engaging the self propelled feature.

Hello Sbroomall28,
We are so sorry to learn that this lawn mower did not meet your needs, and that you felt throwing it out was your best option! Had you contacted our Customer Care, they would have been more than happy to assist with the warranty claims process. If you are still in possession of the batteries here are a few troubleshooting suggestions to check out.
1) When the battery is inserted, the light should begin flashing green to indicate the battery is charging. If this light is not igniting or is flashing red, this may indicate an issue and we would be interested in hearing more about this. If the light simply goes solid red, try removing the battery and unplugging the charger for about 10 minutes and place them both indoors in a room temperature setting, as this might indicate the battery is at the incorrect temperature to be charged.
2) Ensure that the battery has been fully inserted into the charger. Sometimes this requires a firm push into place to make sure that it has been properly seated.
3) Try resetting the charger. To do this, simply unplug it for approximately 10 minutes and then plug it back in and try reinserting the battery. If the charger has been plugged in for extended periods of time, this can sometimes cause the charger to malfunction.
As it is, we genuinely hope that this experience does not turn you away from Greenworks for good we would like to hear more about your experience to see how we can do better in the future. Please give our Customer Care team a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). Thank you for your feedback!

It's got more than enough power for the job and is lightweight. Being cordless is a bonus.

Batteries don't last long

I bought this about 1-2 months ago. The advertisement says it would last 45 minutes and can easily mow half acre, but not for me. My lawn isn't even half acre big, but the batteries would die even before 90% of my lawn is mowed. I tried different ways to see if I could finish the lawn at one charge, never successful. Bagging option is also not good. The mower kept dying so I gave up on it and just did side discharge. Charging would take about 2 hours or so.

Hello KKAC,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower.
It is important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life! This unit is advertised as running up to 45 minutes, but it goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains.
