[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.

[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!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mower about 3 months ago and was very pleasantly surprised with how much power it had to mulch thick grass. And I with the 2 batteries, I had no problem mowing my 1/3 acre lot. I especially love how it senses thicker grass and automatically turns on turbo mode.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am here shopping to replace some Greenworks lawn equipment that after 8 seasons that has FINALLY began to fail me. This stuff is made incredibly well - the equipment im looking to replace has been heavily used all with eager reliability since day 1! I can not say enough good things about this brand. You will not regret a purchase I am certain! Im excited to choose some new equipment, have it delivered and get back to work doing more "Greenwork"!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the 60V 21" Greenworks push mower. This 80V has just as goog of run time with the added Turbo feature. My leaves won't stand a chance!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this mower in May and finally used it last week. I will list the positives and the negatives. POSITIVES ..Light and easy to use ..Fast charger is amazing. Charged my 4 A and 2 A batteries in a couple of hours ..Does a good job cutting the grass as long as it is dry and not too tall ..Don't have to run to the gas station ..Don't have to service my mower ..Easy to store on its side and takes up very little space ..Has an LED headlight NEGATIVES ..Batteries don't last as long as advertised. Using self-propelled mode, I was able to cut about a 1/3 acre on one charge using both batteries. This is not tragic as charge is fast. ..The mower is not powerful enough to shoot gras out as you are cutting. Instead, it leaves clumps of grass every few feet. Annoying. ..The left side battery has a tendency to get jarred out of position causing you to stop and reseat it. All-in all I am very pleased with this mower. It does the job, is light-weight and is easy to use. It remains to be seen how this mower will last in the long run. I have about 30,000 sq. ft. and I can finish cutting the grass on the second charge so not too bad.
We bought a GreenWorks push mower at a garage sale. It had only been used a couple of times. We love using it but the battery doesn't make a good connection, and it sometimes won't start. Other than that we've been pleased with it.
