I highly recommend this mower.If your afraid of switching from gas to electric don’t be.This mower is every bit as powerful as my cub cadet that I used for eighteen years.My yard is nearly two acres. It not only mower the whole yard. I still had a forty eight percent charge left on the batteries when finished.The mower never bogged down at all.By all means buy it
First of all, when I saw this mower in person it was much bigger and beefier than it appeared in pictures! The seat is extremely comfortable, and the steering wheel placement is convenient and out of the way when you get on and off the mower. I love the little cargo bed in back! Fantastic for hauling fertilizer, seed, or plants. I also love the exposed tubing all the way around the mower that makes it easy to tie it down to a trailer for transport. Also, the 2-in receiver in front lets you use this mower to move around a small trailer, or boat! It is so incredibly easy to use, that it makes mowing the lawn actually fun! Love the removable batteries system, and the three dual Port chargers! I mow two yards, and after I'm done with the second one I still have an indicated 83% charge. To think that I'll never have to put gas in it, change the oil, replace a belt, for worry about whether it will start after sitting through the off season, absolutely justifies this purchase. I had to think for quite a while to come up with anything I would change. One minor thing that's not really a problem is, I would rather have a heel toe or two pedal forward and reverse system as opposed to the switch. It's no problem though. If you're thinking about an electric Rider with a good amount of cut, this is the one. I've done all the research for you. You don't want one with lead acid batteries! This has lithium ion batteries just like the electric cars on the road today.
My 2 acres has some slopes and flat areas. The 6 batteries gives me enough power to mow it. I have side discharge although mulch kit is included. The only frustration is the forward/reverse switch and blade on reverse. I have to press and hold the button to keep the PTO running. It’s easy to accidentally bump the front/reverse switch. I think it should be a lever like shifter of a car. It’ll be more intuitive. Also, the more should not free roll if in area. Be care and remember to put parking break on. As for the seat, I wish it’ll let me slide back more. I’m average height of 5’9” and it feels cramp for my leg to press the accelerator pedal. I especially like the battery design as they are easily removed to charge and can be used in other Greenworks Tools 60v tools. Some other brand has a 1 piece giant battery pack than is hard and heavy to replace. Turn ratio is better than gas powered mower as there is more room in front, without the engine, for the front wheels to turn. My wife enjoys using the mower as an ATV.
I purchased this about a month ago and it has exceeded my expectations. The unit is much more rugged than I had expected and the battery life is exceptional. I have 3/4 of an acre where the house sits on a slight hill. The mower easily climbs the hill and navigates the entire yard without any issues. If I use all the batteries, I still have 75% left when finished. I may experiment using less batteries to better utilize their full extent.
