Bought it last month and so far happy with it. It is quiet, rans well, cuts well, efficient, and runtime is okay. A little concerned about how long the battery last.

Hello Big Green. Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the performance, cut quality, and quieter operation of the 80V 21" Self-Propelled Lawn Mower (LM2138S). We understand your concern about long-term battery performance, as runtime and battery lifespan are important factors for overall satisfaction. Battery longevity can vary depending on usage conditions such as grass thickness, cutting height, and terrain, but maintaining best practices, like avoiding full depletion, storing the battery in a cool, dry place, and charging it after each use, can help extend its overall life. For optimal runtime, mowing regularly and not removing more than one-third of the grass blade at a time can also reduce strain on the battery. You may also find it helpful to review official Greenworks instructional videos on the Greenworks Tools YouTube channel for battery care and mower operation tips, including this video on tips for storing your Greenworks battery (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q-ITYPs3yBo?feature=share). If you notice any significant decline in performance over time, we recommend reaching out to Greenworks success team so they can review your battery and provide assistance if needed. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.

Looking good

Purchased in April 2026 and so far has been excellent doing the areas around my house. I am a 74 yo female and own a bit under 3 acres so this is augmenting my rider mower. Definitely was easy to put together once delivered and have found it easy to handle even on the slight slopes and around my trees. Battery life is decent .. though will probable purchase a second since i do need to recharge .... which is done in less than 45 min. to finish up. Stores easily once folded ..... I don't uses the bag so use the side discharge for mulching ....I am consistent in cleaning the under carriage after each use .... Will see the durability and longevity
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Who needs Gas? NOT ME !!!

I purchased the lawn mower after owning the a previous model. I was going to just get the previous model again. However, I saw this had the dual batter option, and that is what sold me. I live on over 1.5 acres so we have some land. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain when our old mower stopped working. So when we got this we put it right to use. In a few lower areas of grass I got over 90 minutes run time on the 2 batteries. As impressed with the first one we had I was that impressed all over.

We live in the mountains with a hillside in our backyard. Our first mower did a fine job on flat terrain, but I had to push it up the hill. We searched for a high quality, self-propelled mower and decided on Greenworks 80-volt. It has all the features we were looking for. Now it mows the hillside with ease, as I am able to hold the controls with one hand and walk comfortably along behind. It is now a "piece of cake" to mow! No sweat, literally.

Broke within 6 months

My father purchased this for me when I purchased my first home, and it was working great, until, during my last mow of the season, it would not turn on anymore. I did the troubleshooting so I assume it is an issue with the start handle, but I have been unable to reach their customer service team.
Pros: Quiet

Easy To Use
on July 3, 2023
Posted by: # A Cut Below
from Florida
I bought this unit back in February and have used it for about 25 cuts so far. The set up was easy and the mower runs great. The battery charges quickly. The issue is with how clean, or not clean, the unit cuts. Not sure if it is the design of the deck, the blade or just not enough oomph but it leaves way too many blades uncut even when cutting at a snails pace and with a significant overlap. I thought that the 80 Volt would be powerful enough to lift all the grass for a nice clean cut but it does not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello # A Cut Below,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! When the lawn is being cut uneven, this can indicate a few different things. The first being that the lawn itself is rough or uneven. However, if this is not the case then it is possible that the grass is too tall, or the cutting height is set too low for the type of grass. Try raising the cutting height and reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. If you have tried these suggestions, try having a look underneath of the mower deck and ensure that there has been no damage to the motor shaft, fan, blade, blade washer/insulator or the bolt. If any of these parts have been damaged or thrown off balance this will result in an even cut and likely, a noticeable vibration while in use. Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us at Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my doubts about this battery powered mower, but I’m pleasantly surprised that it could handle a big backyard and do the job right. it’s just as powerful as using a gas mower minus the mess easy to put away and take out. very convenient
