[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to mow but could never start a gas powered one. This battery mower not only solves that issue but it is light weight and has more power than I ever thought it would. Awesome mower.
I’ve never hated a purchase more. If you live where the dew stays on for awhile, or is a more wet, humid climate in general, do not purchase this. The mower cannot handle it. The wet grass gets gunked up and blade shuts off every few feet. And due to it constantly shutting off and needing to be restarted, the battery depletes extremely quickly. Should have returned it forever ago.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Chase206,
We acknowledge your disappointment with the mower's performance. We understand that it did not meet your expectations. As our lawn mowers are electric, it is advised to not use them in damp/wet locations or if it is raining. Wet grass is inherently more challenging for any mower due to its increased weight and resistance to cutting. Wet grass is heavier and more difficult to cut, which can cause the mower to struggle. Mowing wet grass can negatively impact the quality of the cut, potentially leading to unevenness and clumping of clippings. What to do instead. Wait for the grass to dry, if possible, wait until the dew or rain has passed and the grass is dry to the touch before mowing. Raise the cutting height, if you must mow wet grass, raise the mowers' cutting height to minimize the amount of grass being cut at once. Clean the mower thoroughly, after mowing wet grass, be sure to clean the mower deck and blades to prevent rust and corrosion. We hope you will find this information useful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just finished putting together our new lawn mower,,,double teamed with husband,, Directions are written very small...and pictures don't really show thwhole method...tricky, but we got it together. Standing it upright to get started was a new "method" for us...Husband is 86, and I"m 79...a challenge but we did it. Tomorrow is the true test of it.. Batteries charged in a timely manner..about 40 minutes for 4.0ah and 20+ minutes for 2.oah. Important to locate model and serial numbers on batteries and charger and mower...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for the past 3 months and I love it! Very quiet and strong! Charging speed is very fast. 1 80v 4.0 battery is sufficient enough to cut my 1/4 acre peoperty.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this mower for a year and have been impressed and amazed by the improvement over the Honda gas mowers I've used for decades. I have a huge problem with the Greenworks unit in that every time I try to mow a slight grade the mower emits three beeps and the self propelled system shuts down while the blade keeps spinning. The unit turns into a push mower at the worst possible time. this happens even with fully charged 5ah batteries and no matter whether I've been mowing for a while or just starting out. I have to shut the mower down completely and restart everything to get the propelling system to start again. What is causing this and what is the solution?
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Greenworks for years now. Mower, weedeater, blower, compressor, chainsaw, etc... We thought is was about time to introduce mom to the benefits of electric lawn care.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the mower for about 3 weeks now, and so far, so good. Very quiet, efficient, and able to mow my entire lawn with just one battery.
