Great but not perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like most of the features of this mower, but all batt powered mowers have a different "run" routine that you must get used to. Hold this lever, push this button, now go, etc. It runs quietly, like to turbo feature, don't appreciate the operation delays, however. Engage the drive wheels and a delay. Want to back up a bit, release the "go lever" and the wheels remain locked up until you manually push it forward a few inches, then pull back. Learning curve from gas, esp. if you are used to nicer Honda's. Ryobi may not have the same build quality and 40v is pushing it for a lawn mower, but I liked the single lever to activate folding the handle. This one not only requires you to simultaneaously pull (slide) 2 tabs (at the lower ends of both bars) at the same time, hold them, and then somehow push the handle up with your knees of belly. And the 2 piece (3 piece) handle is not solidly connected, so if you don't pull/push to the 2 bars simultaneiously you can twist the top (3rd) portion of the handle and possibly damage it. I was surprised because the lower portion of the handle consist of 2 rather sturdy metal bars. But they depend on the lower latch portion to stay paralel, not the top piece. And on mine the buttons that lock it into place are spring loaded, and one side would always get stuck, and would require a tap with a rock or hammer to release after 10 minutes of mowing, although that eventually resolved itself after about 25 to 30 hours of use. Tight tolerances I suppose. Another I don't like but which is common on these electric mowers is uniform height adjustment. One lever to raise all wheels seem convenient, but sometimes you need one side higher that the other, like along a sidewalk or curb. How about 1 lever for each side? But I appreciate not having to move all four wheels individually!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This I feel is built better than most with a classic metal body I feel like I holds to the ground better and cuts smoother too
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An improvement, but not a 5 star solution. Most manufacturers offer high lift mulching blades for those of us that prefer to return our yard clippings to the yard. They either come as a twin blade, or a blade with the ends angled up with three or four points to both lift and cut the suspended blades of grass several more times, until they are too small to stay suspended in the air and they drop to the ground.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Durable, Environmentally Safe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mower lasts a long time and Battery is nice and strong for a long Time. Highly recommend to anyone wanting something other than Gas. Go 80 V its the best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend Greenworks 80V 21" Battery 4-in-1 Self-Propelled Lawn Mower. ! It is quite and cuts my whole acre of lawn with battery still charged to do more mowing.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it! Exact amount of Battery time for my medium size lawn. Upright storage Is a major plus for my small garage. Handle adjusts to a variety of heights to suit different users!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my 1st 80V Self-propelled Greenworks lawnmower 5 years ago and it is still working great! We live in a court, and I have always been able to cut the lawn with one 4.0 amp battery, no problem. I am still using it and now have the backpack blower, trimmers, etc. I decided to buy a new lawnmower for our son who had just bought a new house. This new model is amazing. I love the headlight too! I highly recommend that if you are in the market for your first electric lawnmower, that you would consider Greenworks. I guarantee, you won't be sorry.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower works great both for cutting the lawn and picking up the leaves. Our property has quite a bit of slope to it and the self propelled feature makes easy work of the incline. It is a great product.
