Looking good
on July 2, 2026
Posted by: Skymark

Gender:Female
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

Almost perfect

I've had the mower for a year, first mower my son used to cut lawn, envisioned this extensive learning experience. Didn't happen, was so simple, safe and easy, the big 'experience' was over in 2 min. Now that we've used it through the season I can say its been very good. With a sharp blade it cuts and bags very nicely. I have one complaint that has become rather annoying over the year. It has an auto-adjusting speed. Low speed blade on light demand, auto-steps up to high speed when grass is thicker. This is useful to conserve battery life. One problem: on low speed, bagging/suction is rather weak. Insufficient, and there's no way to over-ride it. I sharpened blade to razor sharp, cut the grass so cleanly it didn't produce enough load to step speed up to high, leaving grass clippings behind. Requires going over cut paths more than once. If this one detail could be changed - have a manual over-ride - the mower would be great.
I am very happy with it, so easy to use, no thought about gas, oil, air filter, plug, nothing, just charge battery and cut grass. I really like the mower, just wish it had an over-ride for the self-adjusting blade speed.

Not enough power to finish .35 acres.
on May 27, 2022
Posted by: RTP mark
from Raleigh, nc
Gender:Male
I have had this mower for a month and a half so far and used it to mow my .35 acre lot 4 times so far. With both batteries fully charged, I have never been able to completely finish mowing my yard. The batteries are drained before I can finish. I need the batteries to last 4-5 more mins but they are drained before I can finish. I attempted to recharge the first battery to be drained while using the second battery. The drained battery sat on the charger for 15 mins but the red light on the charger apparently stayed on the entire time so it never gets charged. That may be a protective mechanism for the batteries but it means I will need a third battery in order to mow my lawn without taking a significantly long break from mowing. I also have tried rationing the use of self propelled but I still can finish mowing my lawn with the two 2.5ah batteries. Very glad I have not surrendered my gas powered mower yet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello M_D_In_NC,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with this product. Here are a few troubleshooting suggestions to check out.
1) When the battery is inserted, the light should begin flashing green to indicate the battery is charging. If this light is not igniting or is flashing red, this may indicate an issue and we would be interested in hearing more about this. If the light simply goes solid red, try removing the battery and unplugging the charger for about 10 minutes and place them both indoors in a room temperature setting, as this might indicate the battery is at the incorrect temperature to be charged.
2) Ensure that the battery has been fully inserted into the charger. Sometimes this requires a firm push into place to make sure that it has been properly seated.
3) Try resetting the charger. To do this, simply unplug it for approximately 10 minutes and then plug it back in and try reinserting the battery. If the charger has been plugged in for extended periods of time, this can sometimes cause the charger to malfunction.
Should you continue to experience a problem with the battery and charger, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the battery and charge so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information

Great Mower
on March 18, 2022
Posted by: PDXtomct
from Oregon
Gender:Male
I bought this mower to replace an old gas mower. It wasn't the first time I had tried replace the old mower. Twice before, the battery powered mowers just weren't satisfactory in terms of their cut quality and speed. I was a little worried that the same thing would be true with this mower. Not the case. This mower required very little set up and I am very pleased. It's quiet, doesn't spell as bunch of CO2 and does a great job. My lawn isn't huge, but I do mow it once a week or so when it's growing. This mower is particularly adept at mulching, which I really didn't expect from a battery powered mower. Greenworks hit one out of the park with this mower.

Puts the thrill into mowing
on March 2, 2020
Posted by: Memphis Mark
from Memphis
No noise. No vibration. No exhaust. Just now. The models are changing so rapidly now. More choices. More variations. My 80v model already has different wheel sizes. Different paint/color scheme. Even got a new lawn service so my grass would be thicker, greener and faster growing.......so I could mow more often!

Poor Battery Life

The specifications of battery lasting 60 minutes is false. I am lucky to get 15 minutes. I am very disappointed and would not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, Customer Care , August 30, 2021
Hello Ryck11,
Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear about your experience with this battery. Please know that the described run time is abnormal. When used with both batteries the runtime is up to 60 minutes depending on the load and condition of your lawn while in use (speed, terrain, unit height, grass height, and density). Please be aware that the more power being used from the lawn mower (i.e. lawn mower speed, terrain, grass height, density, etc.), the faster the battery charge will drain. We would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please visit our website and use the customer contact page to send us a direct email.

I hate this mower when I try to go backward the wheels lock up. I have tried stopping the mower and pushing it forward, but the wheels still lock up. This has to be the stupidest thing Greenworks has done.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, May 27, 2024
Hello Archie 1776,
Thank you for your review. The self-propelled drive system with rear-wheel-drive and variable speed control on this unit has been designed for maximum traction, maneuverability, and control. Self-propelled mowers move under their own power, utilizing a dedicated propulsion motor or a geared transmission running of the main (blade) motor. This reduces the strain of pushing a heavy lawn mower, meaning bigger areas of lawn can be mowed more frequently as the operators are less fatigued. The wheels temporarily lock when the self-propel feature is not engaged for safety precautions, however with a slight push ahead the mower should engage the self-propelled feature right away and get you right back to mowing as desired. We are sorry to hear that your purchase fell below expectations, if you ever have any questions or warranty needs, please do not hesitate to reach out to Greenworks 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.
