No problem cutting 1/2 acre lot with two batteries provided even had surplus charge on the second battery. Unbelievably quiet compared to regular combustion engine.
I replaced my 20 year old Honda self propelled mower with the Greenworks 21" non self propelled and am very happy with my decision. My yard is very small and takes as much time to edge the sidewalks, driveway, fencing as it does to mow. It only took less than 1/2 charge from a 2ah battery to mow my yard! Disclaimer: I own several motorcycles and drive a gas guzzling suburban. This was never about my desire to save the planet, it was about buying a mower that is easy to use, easy to maintain, and does the job. Mission accomplished!
I purchased a Green works 21" Cordless, Brushless 80 Volt Self Propelled Lawn Mower 3 weeks ago. It is GREAT. This electric lawn mower is actually fun to use. I can mow the front and back yards and only use 2/3 of the battery. Recharging is really nice as it only takes approximately 45 minutes for a complete recharge. It is easy to use and clean.
I bought this a month ago and I've only mowed once but wow! It does everything my old Toro did, the battery lasted more than 1 hour. It recharges really fast. Only negatives are the release on the mower to remove the battery is really stiff. I already split a nail. The mulcher doesn't seem to do well with leaves but it may be a height issue. I need to play around with that some more but again, wow!
Bought this mower because i was so impressed with the chainsaw...Two years in, mowing two yards weekly during the growing season, and it hasn't skipped a beat. I have 2 2ah batteries that take 30 min to charge, and one usually gets the job done on a 1/3 acre lot if it's not too tall. Very quiet, and zero maintenance except wiping it down, and sharpening the blade once a month or so...
It is easy to start and light enough to push w/o using self propelled mode except on 45 degree angle hills. I'm on 1/3rd acre and can mow it w/o recharging which takes a bit more than 30 minutes. Best mower I have ever owned and the constant tune ups for gas mowers are in the wind!
I've had the pleasure of using this mower 3 times in our yard (normal city yard) and once in a large yard and I am VERY happy with it. It replaced our old 4.5 HP mower and so far there have been 0 compromises. My favorite part is the push button start, way better than pulling a cord hoping it starts. Its also very quite which makes mowing the yard much more enjoyable.
The variable speed makes it only mow as hard as it needs to, and the 4 Amp battery seems to have a run time of at least 1 hour.
Its light enough to pickup my self (makes it easy to transport) and its easy to get it to rest upright so it takes less space in the garage.
Thus far I've used mulch tall grass without the bag and it preformed better than our old mower. Also used it last weekend with the bag to mulch heavy leaves and it ate them up without any issue.
This mower has made me realize there is very little use for internal combustion engines!!
