This is my first battery-powered lawn mower, and I'm truly amazed with how quiet and powerful it is. Before buying, I compared it with another popular brand. What sold me on this GreenWorks mower were (1) the steel deck, and (2) the brushless motor, which means durability and power. Our front lawn plus the sidewalk-to-curb strip is about 1,600 sqft total, and runs the battery down to about 50% to completely mow. I'm doubtful this could tackle a whole acre on a single charge, but it's more than enough for our needs, it cuts beautifully, and it's quieter than any gas-powered mower I've ever used. The only complaint I have about this mower is the handle assembly. There's a cord on one side of the upper (start) handle which you need to feed into the lower section of the handle, and it doesn't feel like there's enough room for it. They say to be very careful with that cord, but you basically have to force it in to get the handle to the point that the bolt holes line up. And then, you need to make sure the bolt doesn't damage the cord. I'd almost deduct a star for that, but everything else about this mower deserves high marks, so I'm sticking with the 5-star rating.
Got my lawnmower last week and it was very easy to set up. Mowed the lawn a couple of times and the battery was more than sufficient to mow just over 4000 sq feet of lawn with excess power and the pick up of clippings is much better than the gas powered mower I’m selling
My tractor mower seized up and the cheap Big box push mower I had wasn't operable for my 5/8" acre lawn, so I went for this Greenworks mower - very easy quiet to use, easy start and store. Batterys don't last as long as I'd like, but they give a solid hour and to be honest after pushing/walking (i've almost only cut long grass this spring, due to failed other mowers, and travel)...and it cuts good well through that...after an hour I'm ready for a break, batteries charge fairly quick half hour
I'm really enjoying this lawnmower so far. With the batteries fully charged it almost cuts all of my quarter acre. Even if I let the lawn go to long and have to cut a significant portion using the turbo I just need one more charge, which my bad back doesn't mind
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.
