[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Batteries don’t last a third of what they say. Can’t mow 8000 square feet with 3 batteries
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear the run time hasn’t met your needs. Several factors can affect battery life—dense or tall grass, hilly terrain, or grass over 4 inches all require more power and can shorten run time.
For best results, we recommend raising the cutting height and trimming no more than one-third of the grass length at a time, then waiting a couple of days before cutting again. Mowing when the grass is dry and walking at a steady pace will also help the blade work more efficiently. As your lawn becomes regularly maintained, you should see both cut quality and run time improve.
For an 8,000 sq. ft. lawn, you might also consider one of our Greenworks ride-on mowers, designed for larger areas and heavier cutting needs. We offer a range of options to suit different lawn sizes and conditions, and our team is happy to help you find the right fit. You can reach us via Live Chat on our website (www.greenworkstools.com) or by phone at 1-888-909-6757. For a home with a lawn size of 8000 sq ft, you may want to consider one of our Greenworks ride-on mowers. These units are designed for lawns that require more heavy-duty cutting needs. We have a variety of options for a range of household lawn care needs. We hope the above information has been helpful. If you would like more detail on what units may be best suited for your needs, please contact us through Live chat direct on our site or by phone at 1-888-909-6757. We are here to help.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mower wasn’t fixable and the guy recommended I try battery operated which os what my son has. So this is my first battery mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only had it for a few weeks, but I love it. Plenty powerful, and the charge lasts a long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 3 weeks ago and I'm happy with the purchase. It quietly and effectively mows and mulches thick grass. It is also very light and maneuverable.
I wish it had adaptive power assist based on how hard you push the handle. Instead, it's just a dial that you slide, which makes it a little more difficult to slow down for thicker grass.
The battery life isn't quite as long as I was hoping though. I can get through about 70% of my half-acre lot before it runs out. It's not a big deal because it recharges quickly. I can do my edging, get a drink of water, and it'll be recharged enough to finish the job.
Overall, a very good product. It's great to have a maintenance free mower with no worries about gas or changing the oil.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blade cuts a nice even surface and mulches great. Cuts through heavy grass with ease when blade is kept sharpened.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased my first 80v Greenworks tool. I’m so happy with my 80v 21” self propelled mower. It cuts my 1/3 acre yard with plenty of power left in the battery. The lawn cut is amazing. I already have two other tools. A leaf blower and a chainsaw and I’m equally as pleased. I ordered a pole saw and looking forward to getting a cultivator in the fall.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got it this week and have only used it once, but very glad I bought it. Much easier for me to start than a gas powered mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this for a couple of years and it has never let us down no matter how long the grass is. We use it to "rough trim around the fence line and around all the edges of our and my MIL property. Low noise and max performance.
