Recently converted from gas to electric in my yard tools. I purchased the 21 inch 80 Volt Mower and used it for the first time. The cut was very even and uniform while the unit was very easy to push (did not get the propelled version). When the turf got thicker the smart motor feature kicked in continuing the even cut. Also used the bagging feature and did a wonderful job getting the loose leaves. A nice addition to the care of my yard.
I would recommend this to a friend!

retirement toy

My husband recently retired and decided he needed to do the yard work again. He had stopped because he had bad shoulders and could no longer pull the cord on the old lawn mower. He got his mower the other day and immediately started on the yard - he is happy and active again. Thank you

I love my new 80 volt push lawnmower. It has amazing power, and does a great job! I love the easy start, and not having to deal with gas and oil anymore.

Constantly impressed with these products. Able to edge, mow and blow the sidewalks with one battery. This lawnmower is a powerhouse. Easy to use.

Wish this lawnmower was strong like a gas power la

The machine isn’t very strong blades of grass stay up. The mulching and suction seems to be less stronger than a gas power lawnmower.
My wife seems to think it’s a play toy.

Hello Champo,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with this product.
The issue with the cut can be many factors: grass is over 4 inches in height and too tall, the underside of the deck needs to be clean and clear of debris and the blades need to be replaced or sharpened seasonally. Here are some more cutting tips that may be beneficial:
1. Set the mower to the highest cutting height (or 1/3 of the length of grass), mow no more than 1/3 at a time.
2. Mow when grass is dry.
3. Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass.
4. Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater.
5. New or thick grass may require a narrow cutting path.
6. For the best results keep the lawn under 4" in length and walk at a steady pace to allow the blades to cut efficiently.
If you wish to discuss your experience further we would like to invite you to visit contact GreenWorks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com.

Great Mower - but just one strange characteristic

Got the 80V 21" mower. Very easy assembly and great looking mower. Charged up the battery over an hour and then off and running. Only used it three times so far but got a good hour of runtime and manages to just cover my front, side aand back lawns. Much quieter and easier to use than my previous gas mowers - the benefits of less air and noise pollution are worth it I believe. It's a solid mower and should last a while but will report back. I went for the highest powered 80V version as I saw a lot of reviews where the lower voltage/ampage batteries had shorter run times, power and got quite hot - so far I'm pleased with the power and performance.
One surpising thing I have found with the mower, and not mentioend in any reviews, is the fact that there is no wind vortex under the mower that I had with all my gas models. My gas mowers would have a strong wind effect from the rotating blade that sucked up any long straggling grass into the blade for a much tigher cut. This mower will leave the odd uncut long strands of grass that happen to be laying flat as you mow over. Critically the vortex would also enable me to suck up/dislodge any damp leaves or debris that settled into the lawn and often killed the grass. This was especially useful in Fall/Autumn with lots of leaves on the grass - looks like I will now need to go over the lawn with a rake or blower, which defeats the aim of being greener I guess. Not sure if this is the same for all electric mowers or just Greenworks but I think it's a big design flaw. I am sure Greenworks could design an alternative tilted cutting blade that provides the vortex - I assume this may not be the current design due to power efficiency for the battery - but I would take a reduced run time if this meant i could clear up the leaves/debris in one pass wtith the mower.

Works great! Very little assembly required. No more messing with trying get the gas motor started.
