Got the 80V 21" mower. Very easy assembly and great looking mower. Charged up the battery over an hour and then off and running. Only used it three times so far but got a good hour of runtime and manages to just cover my front, side aand back lawns. Much quieter and easier to use than my previous gas mowers - the benefits of less air and noise pollution are worth it I believe. It's a solid mower and should last a while but will report back. I went for the highest powered 80V version as I saw a lot of reviews where the lower voltage/ampage batteries had shorter run times, power and got quite hot - so far I'm pleased with the power and performance. One surpising thing I have found with the mower, and not mentioend in any reviews, is the fact that there is no wind vortex under the mower that I had with all my gas models. My gas mowers would have a strong wind effect from the rotating blade that sucked up any long straggling grass into the blade for a much tigher cut. This mower will leave the odd uncut long strands of grass that happen to be laying flat as you mow over. Critically the vortex would also enable me to suck up/dislodge any damp leaves or debris that settled into the lawn and often killed the grass. This was especially useful in Fall/Autumn with lots of leaves on the grass - looks like I will now need to go over the lawn with a rake or blower, which defeats the aim of being greener I guess. Not sure if this is the same for all electric mowers or just Greenworks but I think it's a big design flaw. I am sure Greenworks could design an alternative tilted cutting blade that provides the vortex - I assume this may not be the current design due to power efficiency for the battery - but I would take a reduced run time if this meant i could clear up the leaves/debris in one pass wtith the mower.
I had a new sod installed. I used this mower 3-4 times sofar. It is easy to use and assemble. It took me less than 10 minutes to unbox and start. I will focus on what I like simply because it is a good equipment. The 5.0 Ah battery was able to run for more than 9000sq ft of lawn which equals to about 45 minutes. Quality of cut was good. Most of it is made of steel. On the negative side, the self-propelled system do not respond immediately. It needs little bit of learning. That is why I did not put 4 starts because with time it will not be an issue at all. I am already in love with the greenworks line that I recently purchased a timmer.
I have owned this mower for several years now and it is a pleasure to operate. It can handle any thick or wet grass. My neighbours appreciate the quieter motor. (than my previous gas engine mower). Very reliable. No problems with it yet. I like the automatic switching of the motor to rev up with the grass is tougher to cut.
I've had this lawnmower of over 1 year so far, and I'm still content with the performance. My lot is is about less than half an acre. Sometimes I have to charge it twice to get it 100% done. Might get another battery to help. Satisfied with it doing most the backyard, side, and front lawn. Glad I went with the 80v instead something with less power.
This is the perfect mower for a smaller yard, ( in my case). It is so handy and convenient . My yard is about 1,000 sq ft. This mower handles my thick grass easily and cuts evenly. The 4 mah battery lasts for at least three mows, and would probably do another. Charge's quickly, and ready to go again. So glad I made this purchase !
I purchased this mower two years ago and it is still going strong and runs as well as the day I bought it. Bought a 4ah battery with it and I am able to do the entire yard, which takes over an hour, on a single charge. Runs just as good as a gas mower! My next goal is to get more in the 80V line.
