Easiest Mower I have ever used
on October 11, 2020
Posted by: Milli
from San Antonio, TX
I bought this mower when I gave my old gas mower to my son who bought a house. This is the best and easiest mower ever! Plenty of power with the 60V. Have to slow the self propelled speed from the max because it is too fast. The 5Ah battery it came with is enough to do most of my yard unless the temperature is 100+, an issue if South Texas. Adding the 2 Ah battery that came with my attachment capable weed eater to the second port fixes that. I replaced all my other electric and gas powered lawn tools and the 60V is plenty of power. Have attachment for edger, pole saw, and hedge trimmer. Add the blower with an extra battery two. I am never going back to gas.

Powerful battery operated lawn mower. On par with gas powered. Love the fact that you can store it upright unlike gas powered.mowers. Saves a lot of space in my garage.

Wish this lawnmower was strong like a gas power la

The machine isn’t very strong blades of grass stay up. The mulching and suction seems to be less stronger than a gas power lawnmower.
My wife seems to think it’s a play toy.

Hello Champo,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with this product.
The issue with the cut can be many factors: grass is over 4 inches in height and too tall, the underside of the deck needs to be clean and clear of debris and the blades need to be replaced or sharpened seasonally. Here are some more cutting tips that may be beneficial:
1. Set the mower to the highest cutting height (or 1/3 of the length of grass), mow no more than 1/3 at a time.
2. Mow when grass is dry.
3. Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on newly cut grass.
4. Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater.
5. New or thick grass may require a narrow cutting path.
6. For the best results keep the lawn under 4" in length and walk at a steady pace to allow the blades to cut efficiently.
If you wish to discuss your experience further we would like to invite you to visit contact GreenWorks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com.

Great Mower - but just one strange characteristic
on October 3, 2020

Got the 80V 21" mower. Very easy assembly and great looking mower. Charged up the battery over an hour and then off and running. Only used it three times so far but got a good hour of runtime and manages to just cover my front, side aand back lawns. Much quieter and easier to use than my previous gas mowers - the benefits of less air and noise pollution are worth it I believe. It's a solid mower and should last a while but will report back. I went for the highest powered 80V version as I saw a lot of reviews where the lower voltage/ampage batteries had shorter run times, power and got quite hot - so far I'm pleased with the power and performance.
One surpising thing I have found with the mower, and not mentioend in any reviews, is the fact that there is no wind vortex under the mower that I had with all my gas models. My gas mowers would have a strong wind effect from the rotating blade that sucked up any long straggling grass into the blade for a much tigher cut. This mower will leave the odd uncut long strands of grass that happen to be laying flat as you mow over. Critically the vortex would also enable me to suck up/dislodge any damp leaves or debris that settled into the lawn and often killed the grass. This was especially useful in Fall/Autumn with lots of leaves on the grass - looks like I will now need to go over the lawn with a rake or blower, which defeats the aim of being greener I guess. Not sure if this is the same for all electric mowers or just Greenworks but I think it's a big design flaw. I am sure Greenworks could design an alternative tilted cutting blade that provides the vortex - I assume this may not be the current design due to power efficiency for the battery - but I would take a reduced run time if this meant i could clear up the leaves/debris in one pass wtith the mower.

I had a new sod installed. I used this mower 3-4 times sofar. It is easy to use and assemble. It took me less than 10 minutes to unbox and start. I will focus on what I like simply because it is a good equipment. The 5.0 Ah battery was able to run for more than 9000sq ft of lawn which equals to about 45 minutes. Quality of cut was good. Most of it is made of steel. On the negative side, the self-propelled system do not respond immediately. It needs little bit of learning. That is why I did not put 4 starts because with time it will not be an issue at all. I am already in love with the greenworks line that I recently purchased a timmer.

Amazingly powerful and quiet

from Markham, Ontario, Canada
I have owned this mower for several years now and it is a pleasure to operate. It can handle any thick or wet grass. My neighbours appreciate the quieter motor. (than my previous gas engine mower). Very reliable. No problems with it yet. I like the automatic switching of the motor to rev up with the grass is tougher to cut.
