After years of hurting my shoulder while trying to start my gas mower and string trimmer each spring and then having to take them in for a costly tune-up, i had enough. I purchased a pro series 80v mower and trimmer and could not be happier with my purchase. Push the bottom off we go, i have well over 1/3 acre to cut and can make it on one charge of my 5ah battery, couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No complaints- works great

I bought this in mid March and I will say I am 100% satisfied. I have mowed 10 times since I bought it and no problems. Makes a nice cut (example below)
Here is a list of things that may help you
1.) When using self-propelled disengage the last little push forward( a few inches) and the mower will pull back with no wheel lock.
2.) If you use the bag do not let it get to full. It will shorten run time and change the angle of your blade.
3.) Balance sharpen the blade.
4.) Do not store your battery fully charged
5.) Overlap about 10% from your last cut pass or you will get stray blades of grass uncut.

I mow 8000 sq ft total and I use the same battery (4ah) for the weed trimmer too. (bad idea as the 4ah battery is heavy). I always finish everything with 30% battery. I do not bag and mulch the grass in. .
.. someone else complained the self-propelled is to slow... I have no problem with the speed and full speed is too quick. I run it at half speed and it is a nice comfortable walk.

This is my first battery operated lawn mower. I've watched and waited for years to see them get stronger and batteries last longer. I am pleased I waited. This little self propelled mower can mow my .25 acre property with battery to spare. Then I put battery in my new 80V backpack blower and clear off the sidewalk and driveway. This model is much lighter than my previous gas self-propelled model. I can push it up my graded lawn with ease without using the self-propelled feature, though I appreciate the self-propelled assist when called upon for the long incline runs across the back yard. The self-adjusting power feature means the mower takes a moment to get up to a good walking speed (which is also adjustable) using self-propelled feature, but once there it maintains well. Cutting performance is just as good as my conventional gas mower. Well done Greenworks! Customer service even walked me though a hiccup at first use (push and hold the green start button first, then engage the blade lever to hear mower start) and gave me other tips on my other purchases, saving another call. They were courteous, professional and very helpful. A good experience for me. Now I feel confident in replacing all the gas yard equipment.

Love my 80V mower

I have never owned a battery-operated mower. I love it!
The charge lasts long enough to mow my good-sized city lot more than once. It lasts long enough to mow the entire yard once and the front and sides another time. I mow my front elevation twice a week.
Kentucky is hot, humid and wet. Grass grows thick here. This mower can take it.
As a great-grandmother, I appreciate the push-button start. I like the mower's various speeds to prolong battery life, and the mower's sound is much kinder on my ears. I can mow early in the day and feel confident I am not disturbing the neighborhood.
Changing the mowing deck's height is the easiest EVER. Pull one lever for the whole deck.
The 21-inch path is not noticeably different from my gas-powered Craftsman mower.
My mower is not self-propelled. I don't need one. This mower is light weight.
I will never go back to gas.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

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).
