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.
I realize this review will read like I was paid, unfortunately I wasn’t, but I love every one of my Greenworks products. I now own a weed eater, hedge trimmer, pole saw, 2 blowers and now this lawnmower. The key to every one of these is they just work exactly as you want. I’ve had a few of these for over 3 years and still running strong. This lawnmower? Same thing. Out of the box. Charge the battery, put it in and it works. Plenty of power, super light, works exactly as I want it to. Thanks Greenworks! Keep up the good work!
I can't believe I am saying it, but I cant wait for spring to get my lawn mower out again! I have a mid-size lawn and this mower is great. The cut is solid, the battery life is strong, and not having to purchase gas and check the oil makes me smile! I now own the 80 volt mower, backpack blower, and the chainsaw, and I don't see my transition to Greenworks stopping anytime soon.
My "lawn" is a mix of native ground covers, bunch grasses, fallen leaves, and the occasional twig, on uneven ground. This mower powered its way through the rough stuff as well as my old gas mower, and I appreciated the way the blade speed varied according to the challenge. After whacking down 1/2 acre, I still had about 25% charge left, and the battery fully recharged before I finished my lunch break. If you are joining the anti-lawn movement, this is your tool for mulching and controlling open spaces.
I got tired of replacing carburetors every year, so I researched cordless electric mowers. The reviews consistently pointed to Greenworks as being the best. The no risk guarantee sold me, so I ordered online. I have about 1/4 acre of lawn to mow, with a lot of maneuvering around flower beds. I received it from the company about four days after I ordered it. Assembly was minimal, and did not require special tools or "another set of hands."
The batteries came partially charged, so I decided to go ahead and give it a try. My previous mower had been self-propelled and battery start, and was a real chore, because the self-propelled feature would just leave the wheels spinning in the grass. The 21" Greenworks was a dream to push. It is so lightweight that it took no effort to get it around the yard. Even starting with the partially charged battery, I had plenty of juice to get the lawn mowed. It cut evenly , even on my irregular lawn. The battery charges quickly, so I was able to get enough power for my trimmer as well.
I love the fact that I can adjust the wheel height of all four wheels with one lever, and it is a smooth operation to raise and lower them.
