Do not buy unless you have a flat yard

I have had an 80V 21" push mower for 7 years. I bought this mower to help with some steep slope cutting. It is basically worthless. If you try to use it to cut grass more than a couple inches tall or use it to mulch and bag leaves it stalls out. If you try to cut on a slope greater then 15 degrees it stalls out. I am back to using my 7 year old push mower.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Terry55552. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the mower. User safety is the top priority, and it is strongly advised not to use the mower on inclines greater than 15 degrees. This is not a limitation of the unit itself but a safety precaution to ensure safe operation. For optimal performance and safety on steeper slopes, equipment designed for those conditions, such as brushcutters or string trimmers, is recommended. When grass is varied, sparse in one area and denser in another area, and is above the ideal height of 4" the mower may lay the grass over and this can result in uneven or uncut grass. Here are a few tips to ensure the best results: If the grass has been left to exceed 4", we advise that you raise the cutting height and cut no more than 1/3 of the length of grass at a time, wait a couple of days and do another 1/3, cut when grass is dry and walk at steady pace to allow the blade to work more efficiently. As the lawn becomes consistently maintained you will see the cut and run time improve. Hope these tips help.

Generally positive review except for the battery run time and lack of availability of spare 80V 16 Amp batteries. I posted a question about getting a spare battery but the answer was they are not availble on line or otherwise currently. I spoke to a superisor about getting one and am waiting for a reply. Some more details below.
Follow up to my original question about the batteries -- We recently purchased 2 of the 80V mowers, Models MZ548 and MZ608. We have 2 acres to mow using both mowers and can't quite finish on a single charge. This is much less than the advertised run time or number of acres they can mow. We get about 55 minutes on the MZ548 and about 70 minutes on the MZ608. This is about 30% less than the advertised run time.
I have called about getting 2 additional 80V 16A batteries ( Model LB80160). One spare / extra battery for each mower. I talked to one of the supervisors and hope to get an answer soon. It is disapointing to not be able to complete 2 acres with 2 mowers in one charge.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this mower for about 5 years now, and it’s still going strong. From the very beginning, it’s been reliable, easy to use, and surprisingly powerful for an electric mower. I really like how clean and even it cuts the grass—it’s made lawn care feel less like a chore and more like a quick, satisfying job.
The 80V brushless motor has held up better than I expected. It still has plenty of torque, and the battery life, while not what it was brand new, is more than enough for a regular-sized yard. I usually rotate between the two 2.0Ah batteries, and the rapid charger brings them back to full power pretty quickly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] everything for outdoor use is greenworks, my self propelled lawn mower, my chainsaw, my riding lawnmower, and just ordered the bagger for my riding lawn mower. All are great pieces of work, never break down, easy to assemble and go forever on the battery charge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have the 21” self propelled 80volt mower and two 80 volt blowers and the string trimmer 80 volt and the 80 volt snowblower and love everyone of them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this mower for a few weeks and I like it a lot. It does everything I need it to do as far a cutting grass is concerned. The batteries it came with should be plenty of power for most people. I would give it 5 stars BUT the trailer hitch in the rear is too high. I have a lawn trailer and a chipper that I tow and the hitch it about 5 inches too high for both and I think it would be too high for most pull behind items. The hitch height on the old mower was perfect. Also, it does not come with a mulch plug. The side discharge chute it comes with sticks WAY out from the side.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Powerful
