[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4th year and I'm still loving this mower. I am mowing nearly 1/2 acre and during the mowing season, mowing once every week or two. The gas mower always required filling the gas tank halfway through, but with the electric mower, I'm able to do the whole lawn with one charge. It's also nice to be able to turn the mower on its side sweep out underneath the base without worrying about spilling gas or oil. The mower also seems lighter than the gas mower making it easier to push on the hilly terrain.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this mower nearly a month ago. At first I was on the fence about it because going from a gas mower to electric has its learning curves but overall I think it’s a good purchase. It came equipped with two batteries and starts effortlessly without hesitation and is quiet compared to the gas mower. At this point I would recommend this greenworks lawnmower for purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several of their lawn and garden equipment tools I have been very happy with every tool that I have purchased and would highly recommend them to anyone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has been using this mower for about a year now. He says it does a fantastic job. The battery life is great and makes the job of mowing the lawn easy. He especially likes the way it starts up without effort, unlike our one gas mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item because it does exactly what my gas mower does, plus it's lighter, and self propelled and has lights in front so I can cut grass in the dark and not wake up my neighbors. Comes with 2 batteries, a 80V 2.0 Amp hour, and a 80V 4.0Amp hour battery, with fast charger, rarely does it quit, my yard is approximately less than a 1/4 acre. On jackrabbit speed I get to hop to it, and turtle speed is s l o w.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of this mower is that it's very powerful and the battery life is great. After mowing my initial time, I noticed that it left circular mow marks in my lawn - probably where I would stop. My thought is that maybe the mower vibrates and settles a bit so that it cuts those circles with shorter grass? The only other complaint I'd already read about is the going forward glitch where you must wait a few seconds before pulling it backwards.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello NelsonBlackburn. Thank you for sharing your impression on this mower. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to know it's met your expectations. Circular mowing marks in your lawn, also known as wheel marks or scuffing, are often caused by the mower's wheels digging into uneven areas of the lawn. This can lead to the cutting blade not cutting at the correct height in those areas, resulting in a shorter, patchy appearance. How to prevent circular mow marks. 1. Ensure your mower blade is sharp. 2. Alternate mowing directions. change the mowing direction each time to prevent the grass from growing in one direction and reduce wheel marks. 3. Ensure you overlap your passes slightly, but not excessively. 4. Avoid mowing wet grass, allow the grass to dry before mowing. 5. Ensure you are mowing at the correct height for your grass type and avoid scalping. 6. Check for unbalanced deck, if the mower deck is unbalanced, it could contribute to wheel marks. The self-propelled feature is not usable in reverse. They are designed to lock when pulled back to prevent damage to the drive belt. If you are using the self-propelled feature, the mower will attempt to move forward and will be difficult to move backwards. You would have to release the self-propelled lever to pull the mower backwards while still holding onto the start lever. We hope you will find this information useful.
