[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this today. I haven't been this excited about yard equipment in my life. The power is there, it's really efficient, and it does a great job. I don't think I'll be buying any other brand of yard equipment from here on out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very quiet - can listen to podcasts very easily. Cuts well - very efficiently. Clean - with side chute closed, it mulches well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first ever electric lawnmower, so I was kind of not 100% with my decision to do the switch, and also because of the fact that my house is on a corner, which means I have more lawn to cut I was not sure, I could do it in 1 charge of the two batteries, but it did do the job, I did for the most part not use the self propel feature to save battery power, but it was no problem since it is much lighter than a gas lawnmower. The grass was perfectly cut as long as I did not rush through the passes. Love it very much.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only used once so far, so this is my initial impressions.
Quick start guide wasn't as clear as I would like, but I figured out most everything without going to the owners manual. Didn't realize that the ignition plug had to be installed to run at first.
The handle to engage the self-drive feel a little flimsy, not sure how long they will last.
There is a little delay after pulling the lever for the self-drive for it to engaged which took me a little while to get used to. Runs quiet although I thought it would be even quieter than it was. Cuts the grass fine, and I like that the speed can be adjusted.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to go electric after decades of gas powered mowers. I did my research and I liked what I saw about Greenworks. I used for the first time today and it did a great job. I look forward to many years of trouble free use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have only used gas mowers in the past, and boy howdy was I pleasantly surprised by this purchase. Great deal for the power it had. Never going back. Love this mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I am satisfied with the mower. I have a small yard, so having a battery-powered mower works for my needs. There is a little getting used to the new self-propelled controls. There is a slight delay between when you pull the lever to go forward and when the mower actually starts moving. You get used to it quickly, though.
