Bad Quality and terrible blade and battery

This product did not even last a year. i ran it less than 15 times and from the very beginning the blade did not cut completely and required me to go over the lawn twice. In addition, the back wheels have locked up and prevented me from running it. Also, the battery now only lasts about 15 minutes before needing a recharge. Stay away from this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello psigos.
Thank you for your review. We are not sure what specifications you are referring to, but we regret to hear that you do not recommend this product. Many customers have had great success with this model and come to enjoy it in our product line up. We wish it could have provided the same experience for you. With the included 4Ah battery, you can expect up to 45 minutes of mowing time, in ideal conditions. Runtimes can vary depending on a few factors, including but not limited to using self-propelled, self-propelled mowers do use more battery than standard push mowers as more power is being demanded from the battery to run the blades and the wheels. Grass texture and consistency. Cutting height and lawn size. For added runtime, we recommend purchasing an additional batteries. If you have batteries from another 80V kit these 80V batteries would be compatible with your 80V SP mower, please note, the higher the Ah (amp hour) the more runtime a battery will provide. We recommend a 4Ah battery or higher for optimal runtime. The good news is you don’t have to wait until the batteries are completely depleted prior to charging them, lithium-ion batteries do not have a memory effect and charging them when they’re not fully depleted won’t do any damage. It takes about 30 minutes to charge the battery, and you’ll know when it’s ready because the light on the charger will turn from red to green. If you don’t let the grass, get too high, you’ll be in good shape as far as getting an even cut. However, if you’ve let the grass get long, you’ll likely need to make a few passes for it to look even. One of the ways it’s able to provide a consistent cut is its sensory technology. This technology senses how tough or high the grass is and adjusts the power output accordingly. So, if you’re going over a flat area with low grass, it won’t put out as much in the way of RPMs, and if it hits a tougher spot, it ramps up the power to keep up. We would like to address your concerns with the back wheels. The self-propelled feature is not usable in reverse. They are designed to lock when pulled back to prevent damage to the drive belt. If you are using the self-propelled feature, the mower will attempt to move forward and will be difficult to move backwards. You would have to release the self-propelled lever to pull the mower backwards while still holding onto the start lever. We hope this information provides a better overall user experience.
Should you have any further questions contact us through Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline 1-855-345-3934.

This is a Champ!
on October 26, 2024

I bought an earlier version of this mower five years ago, and it still runs like a Champ! This is some of the best money I have spent. I decided to move from gas powered tools to electric, and electric has been better. The only problem that I've encountered is getting new batteries that hold a charge. Even brand name batteries are prone to punk out after a few months or a few uses. With that said, I would buy another one of this mower any time. I truly have not had a single problem since it was bought. Yes. I recommend this company and mower to anyone who is tired of messing with gas-powered tools.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective

Overall a very good mower

Not inexpensive, but I bought it because it was highly rated. I'm happy with my purchase. It cuts well and mulches leaves well. I love the benefits of electric vs. gasoline: quieter, no exhaust fumes, easy starting, and much easier maintenance. Very simple height adjustment, too. I like the vertical storage. Not sure why it needs a headlight. Also, apparently Greenworks has engineered a safety feature (?) that makes it more difficult to pull the mower back (towards yourself), e.g. at the end of a row. But my one suggestion for improvement would be to make the speed control more stable -- not so easily moved. I must be lightly bumping into it (and my belly isn't that big) and the control moves. should be easy to fix, no?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this mower and I'm glad I got the 8.0Ah battery. The mower is super easy to assemble and operate. I bought this for my wife so it would be easier to handle and operate than the gas powered mower we had previously.
