[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s quiet, it’s got headlights! The batteries charge up fast and we are able to mow our .3 acre no problem with the both batteries. Love the turbo option but so far haven’t needed to use it. It’s simple enough for my 13 year old to mow the grass and make adjustments as needed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Someone in the family got one last year and I borrowed it to mow my lawn. When the mowing season started this year, someone else in the family bought one. So we got one too. Easy to maneuver, very nice cut, great features for the money.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it early to mid May and it's a great mower. I don't get around well so the turtle speed works great for me. I love the way it can be folded down to store . It saves space . My only riff about it is it's hard for me to push the buttons to fold it down.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased 5/7/25. This mower replaced a 48 YO Honda self propelled mower. I like the light weight of the mower and ease of use. My only reservations with it is that after a short period of time (15-20 Min.) of mowing low grass it suddenly stops;. According to the "Trouble Shoot" information the problem is engine overheating. it starts again after a brief time but I don't like this feature. This condition occurs probably 6-8 times and the yard is small. (4200 s.f.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the lawnmowere twice since I purchased and it works wonders. It is intuitive to assemble, easy to use and cuts the grass effortlessly. I can even talk on my phone while cutting lawn. Love it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll be honest. I was somewhat skeptical about switching from gas to battery operated. I have been pleasantly surprised .This mower cuts better than any gas mower I've ever had. It goes through ankle high St Augustine grass on its lowest height like a hot knife through butter.My only regret is not switching sooner..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this Greenworks 80V combo kit delivers impressive performance. The mower cuts clean and has plenty of power, the blower is strong enough to handle heavy leaves, and the string trimmer is lightweight and easy to maneuver. Everything feels well-built and is a great value for a cordless setup.
However, the biggest downside is the battery runtime. The kit comes with two 2.0Ah batteries, which only give you around 15 minutes of use per battery on most tools—less if you’re using turbo or tackling heavier jobs. It’s really frustrating to have great tools that can’t run long enough to finish even a small yard in one go. I found myself stopping too often to recharge.
If this kit came with 4.0Ah or even 5.0Ah batteries, it would be nearly perfect. Hopefully, Greenworks considers offering that option in the future.
If you already have other 80V batteries or plan to upgrade them, this kit is a great investment. Otherwise, be prepared to either work in short bursts or purchase higher-capacity batteries separately.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Joel77. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the 80V combo kit. Batteries are the costliest item to manufacture and ship in any kit. Full kits including a tool, battery, and charger are priced affordably so that consumers can begin building that line of tools and move forward purchasing tool-only units. When you purchase batteries on their own, it is more notable the cost that they carry. One of the many benefits of the Greenworks 80V platform is the interchangeability of the batteries. If additional batteries are purchased in a combo pack (tool + battery) for another Greenworks 80V tool, you will have an extra battery that would provide you with the additional run time. Alternatively, additional batteries can be purchased to extend the run time. This unit is compatible with 80V Greenworks batteries (only). Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please contact us directly through chatbot on Greenworks Tools website that will direct you to a Live agent or call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Greenworks mower 3 days ago. I am pleasantly surprised at how quickly and easily I was able to put it together. I have 1/2 acre to mow with combination flat terrain, slopes, and a hill. It was the first mow of the season and the mower plowed through tall grass (and weeds) with no issues. I used a combination of turtle and rabbit speeds and occasionally the turbo boost. I was especially appreciative that the mower self propels given the slopes and hill. I moved 1/4 acre one day and the remaining 1/4 acre the next day. The batteries made it through both days without needing recharging. (I recharged it in the evening of first day used.) Features that I didn't expect but found amazing: the ease of using batteries, the ease of starting the mower, the ability to mow high grass, the ease of changing the height of cut using just one hand, and the folding storage position. I did read all instructions thoroughly, plus several reviews, and watched a couple of You tube videos. I especially made note of warnings to pull red key and batteries before doing anything involving blade. I did this before cleaning bottom of mower off before storing it in garage. Plus I noted never use it in wet grass.
I am a 71 y/o female in good physical shape but with very limited mechanical abilities. I put the mower together and mowed 1/2 acre of challenging terrain with high grass, slopes, and a hill. I am very pleased with this mower and it definitely exceeded my expectations.
