[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mower as part of a package with a trimmer and blower; it was very cost effective and has worked well. I wish the battery life was a bit longer but it only takes 40 minutes to completely charge again. I do like the interchangeability of the battery between the various tools - makes things simple.
I bought this lawn mover 80V 21" self propelled lawn move to upgrade my 40V push mover, I bought in feb 25 for this summer, all time I used it gave me more hassle. for level 4 also it doesn't work - i mean to finish small front and back yard lawn I have - I have to restart this device more than 3 times. Charging also doesn't last.
When I called support, I was told to use 5 or 6 level, means cut nothing? Also alternate I was told to turn the lawn mover (which i never did for 40v or any in past since 2007) and clean. I will try that if that helps but to me why I need to clear that - I never did for any of my past 3+ lawn mover since 2007.

Hello Bpatel.
We are sorry to hear about the difficulties you have experienced with your 80V 21" Self-Propelled Lawn Mower. We understand how frustrating it is when a new mower does not perform as expected, especially when your 40V model worked more smoothly for you.
This 80V mower is designed for higher power output, which can make it more sensitive to factors such as cutting height, grass thickness, and buildup under the deck. If grass accumulates beneath the mower, it can restrict airflow and reduce cutting efficiency and occasionally cleaning underneath the deck can help restore performance. We recommend doing this only when the battery is removed for safety.
Regarding runtime, actual cutting time can vary depending on the height and density of the grass, the mowing mode used, and terrain. Using higher height settings (levels 5 or 6) does not mean “cutting nothing,” but allows the mower to maintain power more effectively in thick or tall grass. For shorter, well-maintained lawns, lower settings should work better once the deck is clear.
We appreciate your feedback and want to make sure your mower works the way it should. If cleaning the deck does not resolve the issue, please reach back out to our support team with your unit and battery information so we can assist further under warranty.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently moved from a condo to a home. First time in over 10 years I've done yardwork. Each piece of Greenworks equipment I have works great. Highly recommend!
Very happy with newly purchased 80V self-propelled lawn mower

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mower arrived in a well-designed package. Assembly was super easy. Instructions were perfect. Build quality is excellent. Love the way it folds up for easy storage. Looking forward to getting years of service from this mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve had this a couple weeks and could not be happier with it. We live on a couple acres and need it for along the fences. It is perfect to get that job done.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Batteries don’t last a third of what they say. Can’t mow 8000 square feet with 3 batteries
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear the run time hasn’t met your needs. Several factors can affect battery life—dense or tall grass, hilly terrain, or grass over 4 inches all require more power and can shorten run time.
For best results, we recommend raising the cutting height and trimming no more than one-third of the grass length at a time, then waiting a couple of days before cutting again. Mowing when the grass is dry and walking at a steady pace will also help the blade work more efficiently. As your lawn becomes regularly maintained, you should see both cut quality and run time improve.
For an 8,000 sq. ft. lawn, you might also consider one of our Greenworks ride-on mowers, designed for larger areas and heavier cutting needs. We offer a range of options to suit different lawn sizes and conditions, and our team is happy to help you find the right fit. You can reach us via Live Chat on our website (www.greenworkstools.com) or by phone at 1-888-909-6757. For a home with a lawn size of 8000 sq ft, you may want to consider one of our Greenworks ride-on mowers. These units are designed for lawns that require more heavy-duty cutting needs. We have a variety of options for a range of household lawn care needs. We hope the above information has been helpful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower has enough power to mow a ditch with very thick growth. The propulsion helps when the growth is thick and tall. I wish I had the rapid charger just to help with charging one while I’m using the other when I have a lot of heavy duty mowing to do. I’m buying more greenworks items!
