[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mower about a month ago. It is very easy to assemble. 80V battery is as powerful as a gas mower. And 5.0 Ah makes it faster to charge. I am really satisfied with this product. The self propelled option is also very easy to turn on and off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this mower for 3 summers It is lightweight, folds for storage, & batteries charge quickly.
I bought 2 years ago works great! However I need a blade and can’t find one! Not happy about that. People who sell them don’t carry the replacement blades! Would have given it a 5.
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective
Just received this 80V 21", Cordless Battery, Self-Propelled, Lawn Mower & "What a machine!". I would recommend highly. It came with a 2A 80V battery 3/4 charged, & a 4A 80V new, uncharged which I put on the charger immediately. As I couldn't wait, I loaded the 2A battery in & installed all parts as per the manual. Starting first time was simple & "by the book". After 45 mins, I found I had cut my whole yard, using half speed & propelled power with the battery finally giving up.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my 1st battery powered mower and I could not be happier, it is much lighter than gas mowers, quieter and no noxious fumes. I recommended it to all my neighbors.
This was a great upgrade from gas mowers! No more struggles to start a mower. It doesn't break down in the middle of mowing season. My gas mowers would inevitably break down in the middle of mowing season and the wait time for a repair was three weeks. For that reason, I had two mowers. The savings in repair costs has more than made up the difference in price between this mower and a comparable gas mower. My one criticism is the side grass discharge chute. I'd rather not use the bag, so I used the chute. That required installing the plastic cover. Without it, the chute is closed and no cut grass will be ejected while mowing. If the chute cover is bumped against something, it is likely to pop off. This makes it more difficult to mow in tight spaces. I've given up on using the chute and now use the bag. I wish there were a way to open the side chute without installing the plastic cover.
I’ve had this mower for almost three months now and I mow every other week. I only have .25 acres the first month I could mow the whole lawn with no issue, the second month I had to recharge one batteries to finish (three full batteries), and now I can’t even mow half of my yard with both batteries full. Not sure if I got faulty batteries but it’s ridiculous that it takes me 5 hours to mow my .25 acre lawn because I have to wait for batteries to charge.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello SabsBurch,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that the unit has not fully met your expectations. The overall battery life is dependent on many factors such as where they have been stored, charged, and handled. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place. Following these steps will ensure you receive the most of the battery life. Runtimes can vary depending on a few factors, including but not limited to if the self-propel feature is used throughout the entire cut, grass texture and consistency, cutting height, and lawn size. If you wish to address your concerns directly with one of our Product Experts, please contact us by chatbot through the customer contact page located on our website on www.greenworkstools.comor call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see whether your run time and battery life would be considered average.
