Best purchase ever

I bought this a few years back. It is so easy to use. Put the battery in and go! No exhaust, no pull cord, adjustable cut lengths with a pull of a lever, maximum grass cutting width. It even stands up to take less room in my shed. Great product!
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable

Love it, but...

Overall, the mower is great and I would never go back to a gas mower. Still, a couple of things bother me. The side chute clogs much too easily. In the real world you often mow when the grass is not real short or not real dry. The rear grass collection works well, but I'm old and I really don't like to manhandle the collection bag, plus where am I going to put all that grass? And, even more bothersome, the grass tends to spit out of the chute (when it's not clogged) in large clumps that are very unsightly. My old gas mower had a bigger chute and ejected the grass in a wider area that needed no raking to look OK. Why couldn't this chute be designed the same?
Another, perhaps minor, point: when you stop going forward and pull the mower backwards, which one does all the time,the self-propelling motor does not disengage instantly, but instead keeps the wheels locked for a short time, making it hard to immediately pull the machine backwards.
I could add many compliments about excellent design features: the ingenious storage position, the quiet engine, the powerful long-lasting battery, the surprising ease of mounting and dismounting the collection bag (if you use it).
Pros: Convenient, Cost-Saver, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not what I was expecting at all.

from Spokane wa
Purchased a simular model back in Dec 2022 to repalce my Honda. Not bad BUT, qaulty control is very bad. WHen I forst used it I thought hummm, ok but then a speak developed. Turns out the bot holding the right tube was not tightened. Since then it now creaks and clunks. I puchsed my Honda used 8 years ago and it never clunked, creaked or squeeked. The power and run time on the Greenworks is good plus it's quiet. However, the cutting quality is about as good as what you may expect with a cheap mower. I find I have to do two passes of areas. Bottom line, I am not happy and look at my HOnda and think, I shoudl just use this for it does a much better job. WOudl I recomened Greenworks, no, woudl I buy again, NO. NOw I am stuck with an expesive mower that is about as good as a low end mower you woudl by at cheap retailor. Sorry Greenwork, but I did expect much better!
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Performance

I first used this mower today. I have less than 1/4 acre and my fully charged battery completed about 1/2 of my yard I am very disappointed and expected much more for the money
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello notdelighted,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower. It is important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life! This unit is advertised as running up to 60 minutes with a fully charged 5Ah battery, but it goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains.
Here are a few mowing tips to help achieve the optimal run time.
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. 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.
3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily.
4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. 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.
5) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed.
We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). We are happy to help you further. All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

Almost perfect
on May 31, 2023
Posted by: Bill254
from Texas
Gender:Male
This is my 5th 80v tool (18” chainsaw, pole saw, weed eater, blower). It cuts great, has good speed, and runs smooth. It takes me more than one 2AH battery to do my yard (16 pallets of grass on about a quarter acre). Two things would make it perfect - add a phone holder, and look at a better way to release the rear wheels when you are under self propelled operation. You have to release the wheel drive lever 3-5’ before you either turn or pull the mower back so the wheel drive releases. The wheels will lock up if you don’t give it enough time/distance.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

Long runtime. Can't handle thick lawns.
on May 12, 2023
Posted by: JMatt64
from Guilford, CT
Gender:Male
Been using this mower for two seasons. Two issues stand out. 1) It does not handle thick, 3" or more height when cutting. Leaves clumps of grass even when the bag is empty. 2) When the bag is only halfway full, it's enough at that point to block the discharge shoot, and stop anymore clippings from entering the bag. I constantly have to empty the bag well before it is full! It seems the clippings don't get discharged at a high enough velocity to push them further back into the bag!
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello JMatt64
Thank you for your review. We are very sorry to hear about this experience!
In most cases this means either of two things. Depending on the length of the grass and when the last time it was cut the bag may fill up quickly. Another reason, why the grass not flowing into my bagger properly could be the collection bag is clogged. If the lining of your grass bag is clogged with old grass, you should clean it and once clean the air should flow through the grass bag more efficiently and improve the grass collection.
Hope this suggestion helps! If you find that you are still experiencing issues, we would be more than happy to assist with further diagnosis. Please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).

80V 21” lawnmower
on May 1, 2023
Posted by: waterdog
from Utah
Gender:Male
Bought this mower last fall. It came ‘tool only’ and I couldn’t afford the battery and charger at the time. Love to review it. My 60 volt was brilliant till I hit a hidden stump and toasted it. Would like to know if the 80V can run with one battery or the two it’s slotted for. I also feel a little ‘bait and switched’ with the tool only. Love all my other Greenworks tools and would like to stick with you.

Self Propel went out
on April 24, 2023
Posted by: LukeB25
from Georgetown, Tx
Gender:Male
The self propel stopped working after about 8 months. It kills the mower when attempting to turn on. Only good thing I'll say about this is the battery life is pretty decent but it's not much use to me without the self propel as I have extremely hilly land on 2 acres and mowing with the bag it too much.
Pros: Convenient, Quiet
