I got tired of replacing carburetors every year, so I researched cordless electric mowers. The reviews consistently pointed to Greenworks as being the best. The no risk guarantee sold me, so I ordered online. I have about 1/4 acre of lawn to mow, with a lot of maneuvering around flower beds. I received it from the company about four days after I ordered it. Assembly was minimal, and did not require special tools or "another set of hands."
The batteries came partially charged, so I decided to go ahead and give it a try. My previous mower had been self-propelled and battery start, and was a real chore, because the self-propelled feature would just leave the wheels spinning in the grass. The 21" Greenworks was a dream to push. It is so lightweight that it took no effort to get it around the yard. Even starting with the partially charged battery, I had plenty of juice to get the lawn mowed. It cut evenly , even on my irregular lawn. The battery charges quickly, so I was able to get enough power for my trimmer as well.
I love the fact that I can adjust the wheel height of all four wheels with one lever, and it is a smooth operation to raise and lower them.
I was skeptical of using electrical lawn lowers but after seeing many reviews I decided on this one and it had never disappointed. Makes lawn work more fun than a chore. I live in Texas Humidity, but I hardly sweat using this thing!
Works as well as expected for my small lawn. On turbo mode and self propelled, it uses little more than one of the two batteries to do the job. Used it to mulch the autumn leaf fall in place and it did a great job, still with charge to spare
I purchased the lawn mower after owning the a previous model. I was going to just get the previous model again. However, I saw this had the dual batter option, and that is what sold me. I live on over 1.5 acres so we have some land. Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain when our old mower stopped working. So when we got this we put it right to use. In a few lower areas of grass I got over 90 minutes run time on the 2 batteries. As impressed with the first one we had I was that impressed all over.
I really bought it for the battery to give my chain saw extra run time, I thought it was self propelled but it's not. However the light weight & large wheels make it reasonably easy for a 62 year old to push if you're smart & mow the most level direction rather than going around in circles. The biggest surprise was that it mulches better than it side discharges, especially surprising since I am not an enthusiastic mower & the grass get's very tall sometimes. I like that it's very light with the battery out & is east to flip over & clean thoroughly when finished - I just store it in a spare room between mows. I still wish I had self propelled but this one works well for what it is. As for the battery - it works in the chain saw but makes it quite heavy.
