POWERFUL & GREAT BATTERY LIFE

My grass is very thick (like carpeting) and the mower has no trouble with cutting it. I have the mower set up to the highest setting as I don't want to cut this type of grass too short. I like the variable speed option.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this a few years back. It is so easy to use. Put the battery in and go! No exhaust, no pull cord, adjustable cut lengths with a pull of a lever, maximum grass cutting width. It even stands up to take less room in my shed. Great product!
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable

Does an ok job on medium to thin grss but if your law is thinck like mine you HAVE to walk slow otherwize it bogs down plus you wil have to stop to clean it out. I have medium size yard and now that it is thick, I have to stop t 3 to 4 tie sto clean out the mower. Very concerned that soon I will see smoke comming from the motor. An expensive mistake.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, September 13, 2023
Hello JoeAR,.
We're sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied with this lawn mower. It is important to recognize that the run time depends on the load acting against the unit and fluctuates depending on the height setting, the terrain, grass height, type of grass, whether you are mulching, operator technique, etc. - there are so many factors to consider. The harder the unit must work, the quicker the battery charge will drain. Similar to how the gas in a vehicle will deplete quicker when driving at higher speeds or carrying more weight.
Here are a few tips to extend your run time!
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months.
3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily.
4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging.
5) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed. 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.
We hope these tips will help! Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us on Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the lawnmower/trimmer/ leaf blower combo after reading so many positive reviews. After testing all three out, I'll add my name to the list of happy customers. I'd recommend electric to just about anyone, and am grateful to Greenworks for making the transition easy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gardenworks Pro Lawn Mower Review: A Smooth Experience from Start to Finish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Gardenworks Pro Lawn Mower, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience—from setup to performance. This mower is a game changer for anyone looking to achieve a pristine lawn with minimal hassle.
Setup: Setting up the Gardenworks Pro was a breeze. The instructions were clear, and all the components fit together easily. Within 15 minutes, I had it assembled and ready to go. No complicated steps or need for special tools—just straightforward assembly. It even comes with all the necessary oil and fuel, so you’re good to go right away. I appreciate how user-friendly it is.
Performance: When it comes to mowing, this mower really delivers. The power is consistent, and it glides effortlessly over both flat and uneven terrain. I was able to cut through thick grass with ease, and the blades provided a clean, even finish every time. The adjustable cutting height is a great feature, allowing me to easily customize the mower’s settings to my preferred lawn length.
Comfort: The ergonomic handle and cushioned grips make using this mower a comfortable experience, even for longer mowing sessions. It’s designed with the user in mind, and I didn’t feel strained or fatigued. The self-propelled feature works like a charm, especially on inclines, which helps reduce the effort required on my part.
Durability: I can tell that the Gardenworks Pro Lawn Mower is built to last. The sturdy construction and high-quality materials ensure that this mower can withstand the wear and tear of regular use. The deck is made from durable steel, and the wheels are robust, providing stability and smooth movement.
Ease of Use: Another standout feature is how easy it is to maneuver. It’s lightweight yet sturdy, making it simple to navigate around obstacles like trees and garden beds. The grass collection bag is large, so I don’t have to empty it frequently, which saves time. Plus, the mower’s quiet operation is a bonus, making it less disruptive when I’m mowing early in the morning or late in the evening.
Overall: In summary, the Gardenworks Pro Lawn Mower has exceeded my expectations. Its combination of easy setup, powerful performance, and user-friendly design make it an excellent choice for anyone in need of a reliable lawn mower. Whether you have a small yard or a larger one, this mower will make your lawn care routine a breeze. Highly recommend!

Gets the job done. The white grass catcher may not have been the best color idea considering it’s going over the lawn frequently. I’ll need to replace soon because it’s dirty—more brown than white.
