Great lawn mower but with a couple of minor issues

Purchased a month ago and have several full mows with it. Power is great. More than enough to handle my lawn and the turbo feature is good for the extra long grass. The batteries last for my large lawn. Height adjustment is so easy with one lever. The two issues I do have are minor. First, when using the self-propelled option if you want to stop and pull the mower back, you have to wait a few seconds before you do. If you don't the wheels are still engaged and they lock. Second, I wrongly thought when the manufacturer says it has automatic switch over when the first battery dies. This is partly true except when the first battery dies the mower stops. You have to let go of the safety bar and give the mower a second then start it again. In my experience, that's the only way it switches to the other battery. Those are the only issues I have with the mower. Overall I'm quite pleased with my purchase.
Works great for the yard my size. I mowed 4 times this spring and used the bagger 2 times. And the power of one battery. Would recommend this to anyone who is interested in buying a battery mower. I was surprised that the mower deck is metal .Good job.
Just bought a house with a 10,000Sqf lot and this mower with the 4ah goes trough it with no problem nice even cut and was able to do the front and back yard with some juice left in the battery. The sensing feature when the grass is thicker wakes up the full power of the mower to get those areas done. Love it!
I’ve worked as a commercial landscaper in the past and at first was a little skeptical about purchasing an electric mower. I knew that I wanted something equivalent to the power of a gas-powered 5hp motor. After researching for an entire year straight I finally found the mower that was right for me. I’m absolutely in love with the Greenworks 80v pro 21” Self-propelled. It’s quiet, powerful, cuts like a dream and all without the smell of gas and yearly maintenance. It has 7 different height adjustments and is easy to fold up for storage or transportation. Most importantly it’s built extremely well and has strong plastic components. I got mine during the spring sale and couldn’t be happier. What more can you want from a lawn mower?
The self-propelled feature works great. I was able to get about an hour and 20 minutes on a full charge of both batteries; the recharge took about 45 minutes. It leaves less of a mess than my gas powered mower did when mulching.
Only used twice so far, mower cuts and bags extremely well. Self propelled is quirky but easily learned and has sufficient pace. Bought this mower since i already had 80V Pro trimmer, leaf blower and snow shovel which have all worked flawlessly.
My most recent greenworks purchase is a corded chain saw. I have not used that yet, but will soon. I expect good times based on my prior product experience with greenworks.
I do have 3 other 80v yard products that I totally love. I went with battery devices because I don’t want to use gasoline products regularly. I choose 80v pro products because I have a large, wild yard, I need the products to stand up to rough usage in a rough landscape. My first greenworks product was the 80v mower. I like that battery products are so quiet yet get the job done. There’s not much I dislike about the mower. I do love how easy it is to change the height of the cut and also the range of the changes.
My other 2 products are the 80v weed wacker and the hedge trimmer. The 80v battery does make the device heavier but the performance of the devices is excellent.
Recharge time during the day is quick. A little pre thought to plan the yard work around battery recharge times is probably the hardest thing I do now. Price will need to go down a bit though.
I bought the 80 volt 21 inch self propelled lawnmower a little over a year ago and it is awesome. It has a clean cut, mulches well and does a great job bagging. I really like how easy it is to operate. I bought the 5ahr battery for it and that’s more then enough power to mow my 1/2 acre property. The best thing about this mower is my wife likes operating it so that cuts down the amount of time I mow!
