I am very pleased with this product after just one use. The battery charged in under an hour. Height adjustment is very simple and easy to do. Starting involves the push of a button...no more cord pulling. The speed adjustment of the blade takes a little getting used to. Some grass clippings are left on the lawn in thicker areas. I have 3/4 of an acre, and battery easily lasted as long as I needed.
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.
I've owned my Greenworks mower for over 8 months now. It passed the summer lawn mowing test with flying colors. For lower to medium high grass it cuts through it with no problem. When the grass gets a bit high, the electric motor automatically speeds up for extra power. The Greenwork handle height is adjustable making the mower "relatively" easy to push through your lawn. The Greenworks mower runs on an 80 volt battery, so theres no irritating carburetor issues that you get with gas equipment. Theres no need store gasoline or do messy oil changes. Its virtually maintenance free. My favorite feature is the extra quiet operation. It allows me to simply put my Bose headphones on and cut the grass. No mess, no stress. Greenworks gets 5 stars from me.
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!
