I have used this mower twice since receiving it. The first cut was at its highest setting as my yard had gotten completely out of control with weeds almost a foot tall. It was so smooth and powered through all of those weeds without any problem. The simplicity of start and stop compared to typical gas made bagging and emptying the bag so easy. It was the fastest I have ever cut the lawn. A week or so later I went back to do a proper cut on my zoysia lawn. I set the mower at 4 height and went to work. My lawn is very thick in some places and you could hear the mower power up to get through those areas. Again smooth cut and easy bagging process. With the thickness of the grass, I was actually worried the battery would die before I finish. My yard is very steep and I was using the self-propel feature a lot. It had no problem and the lawn looked great. The easy adjust height made it easy to cut the edge without scalping it like often happened with my previous mower. Delivery is not the fastest, so be patient - it is worth the wait!
Overall the mower works very well. It's so nice to finally be able to cut the grass in relatively peace and quiet. Im very impressed with the battery charge and I'm easily able to cut my 1/3 acre lot size with plenty of charge remaining. I don't use the sell propelled though as the mower is easy to push. The self regulating variable power is nice and I have yet to even come close to stalling. I use the rear bag and it works very well and is super easy to removed empty. I would have rated 5 star but there is one minor flaw that I need to modify - the battery cover hinge mechanism is poor and doesn't allow the cover to fully open, making removing the battery awkward, I ended up disassembling the top cover parts and added a different huge so now the cover opens completely. It took about an hour and a half to modify. To me this is imperative as the cover is opened up pretty much every time you use the mower. Other than the poor battery hatch, the ergonomics are very good.

I ordered the Greenworks Pro 80V Cordless 21" Self-Propelled Brushless Lawn Mower. It was temporarily out of stock but still arrived in a timely manner. I found it easy to assemble, though the picture on the box was slightly different from what was inside. I already owned a fully charged 80V battery so was able to test it right away. Everything worked great. It was nice and quiet. I did my entire lawn (.3 acres) with power to spare. I recommend this product.
Mower was incredibly easy to set up out of the box and did a terrific job on its first use - cut even and bag was easy to empty. Even with my lawn being flat happy I got the self-propelled version of the 80V to maximize ease of use
I have owned this machine for 3.5 years, and I love it. I use it to mow my 1 acre property and without any attachments, I get beautiful lines in the lawn. I also use it to collect and mulch leaves in the fall, and it works great! People can't believe with the speed of the blades that on pavement, it collects every small piece of debris. All without having to store, pour and smell gasoline! Oh, yeah, and its easy to store, stands up on end making it very compact, leaving lots of room for my other greenworks tools!
Out of the box and mowing in no time! I was so impressed with the quality of the mower and the quietness of the motor. I shopped around and was so glad I found the "Made in the USA" product.
