I have to say that the power and torque was GREAT. However I ended up returning mine do to the battery life. I realized that for the cost of extra batteries, I could easily by gas for years. So I did return it and purchased a gas mower. My yard was just to big.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello calliesman576,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that this was not a good fit for you. The run time depends on the load acting on the unit; if you are cutting very tall or thick grass and are causing the motor to work harder, the run time will reflect this. We realize that you have since returned this product and are sorry that we did not get the chance to assist you with this matter.

I bought this back around the beginning of May 2020 and the reason was I had bought the Greenworks snowthrower and I love how easy it is to use, how light and how efficient they both work. I am a senior and I am the one in our household that has to maintain our lawn and sidewalks now due to my Husband being disabled from a horrific workplace accident that makes him unable to do the things around the house that he use to do and that I relied on. So when I had been looking for something smaller I went on line and started looking. Found the Greenworks and decided to give it a try. Low and behold it was what I could handle. The Greenworks Lawnmower is so easy to adjust and very light to push and I love that my snowthrower and my lawnmower use the same battery and the time on the battery is charged enough for me to cut my whole lawn front and back whole property is 75'x100' so I figured grass only is about 50'x50'. Sure I could have used a wider cut but the 17" works for me. I highly recommend this or any other Greenworks lawnmowers or snowthrowers. It has made it so I myself am not struggling with gas lawnmower and a very heavy duty snowblower.
I like the idea no fuel, no oil, just plug in the battery push the button and mow. I can mow the whole back yard on one charge. Same with the front. I like it when the thicker lawn slows it slightly it kicks up the speed to compensate. A neighbor up the street was driving past while I was mowing and stopped to tell me that is the quietest mower he has ever heard. My old mower with a gas engine gave up so we opted for this one.
I have used this mower for 2 summers now and I absolutely love it. I mow about a third of an acre, and as long as I don’t let it get too long, the battery is is just barely enough to get it done. I love not having to get a carburetor cleaned every year.
I purchased to replace a previous electric mower and have nothing but positive remarks. To me the greatest positive is the unique positioning of the self propelled drive, that is controlled by a thumb without needing to move your hand or wrist location crating seem less transitions.
I’ve had this for a couple of years now. I love it. It takes care of all my lawn needs. It’s quiet, no gas and oil to worry about. Virtually maintainence free!
