1) Low quality plastics After just two uses - the plastic blade mount came loose and the blade shaved the plastic protrusions holding it in place. I returned my product. 2) the 2.5 Ah batteries are not really great. After 50 minutes of use, these were both completely drained.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The 21” blade cuts the lawn in fewer passes. One battery holds enough charge to mow my 8000sf property. The turbo function is how the blade should rotate all the time and is on par with a gas mower when activated. Mower is much quieter than my previous electric mower.
I was a skeptic at first, sure that an electric mower couldn't rival the power and cut quality of a conventional gas mower. I purchased the 80V unit because it is rated to cut up to an 1 acre and we have a .96 acre lot with tons of weeds and long grass. I have to say I'm more than pleased with my decision to switch. The Greenworks mower is every bit as capable as my previous gas mower was. Plus much better for the environment, easier to maintain, and quieter.
I'm super impressed with this electric mower. I got two batteries with it, and I can charge one while I'm mowing with the other one. It was packaged well, easy to assemble, and easy to start. I like the quietness of it, also. It's lightweight, and I've had no problems with it. I do not keep my lawn mowed down to the turf, but at 2.5 - 3" and the mower does fine cutting it. I also like the easy height adjustment. The overall design of it seems well engineered, and I can be done mowing while my neighbor is still pulling that starter rope.
After owning a 40volt I expected the 80volt to be more powerful and more self propelled.

Hello Just a mower,
Thank you for your question and interest in Greenworks Tools! When it comes to the comparison of our voltage lines, the higher the voltage, the more power the motor has. With that said, the 80V lawn mower would be more powerful. However, the higher the ampere-hour (Ah) rating is on a battery, the longer the run time will be. If you are doing light to medium jobs, any of the Greenworks 40V Axial platform will suffice. However, if you wish for more power than the 80v line would be the best choice. It is worth noting, with the added power comes a heavier unit. If you have a specific question or would like more information, please feel welcome to speak to a Greenworks representative directly at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).

What’s there to say about this? It lasts for the entire yard. I start by using my 80 volt string trimmer and then when I’m done with that, I take that battery from the trimmer and put it in the left side of the mower. It uses that battery first and then the second battery on the right (in my experience). The cut is better than ANY mower I’ve ever used. Even my grandfather who saw me mowing using this thing was impressed and he is apparently thinking of getting on for himself since his gas mower is nearly a decade old and he’s tired of all the maintenance. Speaking of maintenance, there really isn’t any on this machine, other than keeping it clean and sharpening the blade once in a while. I was also mowing later in the evening a few weeks back and I made a discovery that I don’t recall seeing on the page when I first purchased the mower: this thing has a headlight and does a decent job of lighting up just in front of the mower. This is the best mower I’ve ever had and I’ve become a customer for life!
