I recently purchased the mower and have used it 3 or 4 times. Short version: if you have a small or large flat suburban golf course you can stop reading and just go buy it, it cuts well and is very quiet. If you have a large hilly yard with the occasional mole hill you should probably still buy it but you will want to think about it.
The good: it cuts grass well, is pretty fast at its highest speed setting, is very quiet, battery life is good and recharges quickly. The not so good: the drive mechanism is a bit slow to engage and especially disengage, but you quickly adapt to that similar to regenerative braking in an electric car. You learn to disengage 2-3 feet before you change direction or the wheels stay engaged with the drive and you can't pull backward. Fortunately it's light and it's easy to push that last foot or two. The biggest disappointment for me is the blade. It's very soft and dings up really easily. For those of us with the occasional mole hill and gravel driveways you will be sharpening a lot. On the plus side it sharpens easily since it's so soft but I'd rather work harder less often. It's also a terrible mulcher. The Honda dual blade mulching mower I retired for this unit just made grass and leaves go away, turning them into a fine powder that required a mask if it was dry, and sucked up wet leaves from the ground. This mower just turns grass and leaves into smaller pieces and gums up the deck with wet mulch. With a better blade/mulching this could be a full 5 star machine, but it gets 4, 2.5 for mulching and 4.5 for cutting with a generous round up to 4 since I mow a lot more than I mulch leaves. As a dry mower it is excellent. In real life when you have to mow when wet (I live in Oregon) it's less than excellent but still pretty good overall. I recommend it, I'm happy I made the switch, the smug satisfaction I get from using electricity and not having to fill the gas tank, the quiet, it all works for me, but it is more of a chef's knife than a cleaver. It rewards delicacy and patience, if you are an impatient bruiser you might want to stick to dead dino power.

Beat my expectation!

Bought to replace a top-brand self-propelled that after 2 years was having starting issues. A neighbor told me about his experience with his Greenworks mower so I gave it a try.
1st) It's so light I find I don't even use the self-propel mode all the time. 2nd) The power was easily enough (even bagging my tall fescue). 3rd) I think it bagged better than my old mower and filled the bag more completely. 4th) I had plenty of battery left after bagging my 14,000 SF lot (I don't know how much of that the house takes up, though).
SO... This mower is faster, lighter, simpler, and more reliable than my top-of-the-line old mower. This 80V lawnmower works amazingly well, and it puts this product line in a position where gas is finally obsolete.

Mower works as advertised. The grass discharge shoot doesn't let the clippings fly/scatter and tends to blow them into a row. Otherwise works fine.

I purchased a new home a few months ago and when I cut my lawn all my neighbors compliment me on how nice and neat it looks afterwards. I think they’re a lil jelly. Lol

Very sturdy and powerful. This mower has made my gardening routine even more efficient. This year I won’t be bagging a single leaf, the mulching function on this mower shreds the fallen leaves almost to power in quick time, from there they go straight into compost. Very satisfying to use and highly pleased that I bought it.

I have been pleased with the performance of this mower. I have nearly a half acre yard and was able to mow the yard completely on one charge. This fall as I have a lot of leaves that I mulch, I will mow a bit slower to get them thoroughly mulched. In this case I have not quite finished the entire yard on one charge, however, a 10 to 15 minute charge has allowed me to finish.
The battery seems to fully recharge in approximately an hour.
The self propelled feature is hardly needed as it is quite light and easy to,push.
