Works great--more than enough power to get the job done

I was on the fence about buying an electric mower for my new house, because the property is over half an acre. I didn't want to have to stop in the middle of mowing to charge my battery, but I also didn't want to buy another gas machine. So I bought this lawn mower and an extra battery just to be safe--it turns out that I don't need the extra battery to mow my lawn, but it's still nice having a backup. It seems that one battery is just enough to mow my lawn, but that's without using the self-propelled option.
The added benefits are the lack of emissions, no more smelling like gas after mowing the lawn, the quiet motor, and the fact that it folds up nicely for easy storage.
Overall, I definitely recommend the mower to everyone.
Super impressed with the cut, easy start and aelf propel. It is so much quieter that my old gas mower. A great buy, for sure! Love it so much that I bought a greenworks trimmer today! I'm sure I will love it, too
I purchased this mower a month ago my grass was super thick and about 3.5 inches long on my first mow. I have just over a quarter achre and it filled the bad three times but I still had a third battery life to go when I was done
I replace the blade on my mower each season. I love that the replacement blade is easy to find on the website, available, reasonably priced, arrives quickly, and is easy to install. Thanks Greenworks!
First Rpund: my Lawn is under 5000 sqft for a small fron tn and back yard. Front yard is under 1000 sqft. Mawn mower after first charging didnt finish front yard, left incomplete. tried 3 times of chargning over several hours. took 3 rouns to complete lawn.
2nd attempt after 2 weeks. Tried to use it on 15-MAY-2022. Charged both batteries for over a week. This time Lawnmower stopped under 10 minutes without completinm\g my front yard. which is under 1000 sqft. My lawn is uncut in the front and looks bad.
This Lawn mower would ruin you weekend schedule, cannot rely on this lawnmower for a small lawn.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with the run time that you are receiving. Please know that there are many factors that can affect the run time. The run time of a lawnmower is dependent on the load acting against the unit and fluctuates depending on the height setting, the terrain, grass height, type of grass, whether you are mulching, etc - there are so many factors to consider. The run-time of a battery would depend on the load acting on the unit while in use (speed, terrain, unit height, grass height, and density). Please be aware that the more power being used from the lawnmower (i.e. lawnmower speed, terrain, grass height, density, etc.), the faster the battery charge will drain. Here are a few tips to help you extend the 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 of the total length at a time. 2) Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass and ensure that grass is dry. 3) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed. We hope these tips will help you with the issue you have encountered, however, if they do not please kindly give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
