Cuts great, handles well. Going from forward to reverse seems a little slow to engage, but basically OK. Mowing in reverse takes getting used to as you have to hold the button the whole time. if the intention is safety, keeping one hand engaged that way instead of steering seems counterintuitive. Overall a winner and would definitely buy again. Would give it 4.5 stars if that was an option. I don't give 5 stars very easily but its close.
We have 5 acres with slope, rocks, and holes. The larger tires on this model have been great for handling rough areas without getting stuck. The mower has handled our tall field grass easily. Recharge time on the batteries is pretty quick. The mower has plenty of power for going up steep hills.
My only major knock is having to take all 6 batteries out to recharge. An onboard plug in would be much more convenient. Also, the instructions for putting on the mulcher are not good. Maybe something was lost in translation, but this needs major improvement, and I’m an avid do-it-yourselfer.
Overall, though, great mower so far. Love being able to recharge from our solar panels and not having to keep gas around. It cuts really well and is very quiet.
We are thrilled with this mower. After putting alot of money into keeping our gas rider working the last few years, we were happy when Greenworks finally came out with their rider, which we had been waiting for. We have close to 2 acres to mow, it is not flat, and there are lots of things to go around. Starting at 100% charge, it does the whole thing. We also enjoy using it to pull around a utility cart for lawn chores.
We are very impressed with how much fun we had putting it together, and driving it off the ramp. My husband didn’t want a new mower, but we’re getting older and I hate to get gasoline and smell in the car. He loves it and is sorry we didn’t get this mower sooner. Easy to use, charge, cut and does our bill with ease.
I’ve used the mower about a month now. First, it’s most comfortable seat I’ve ever had for a riding mower. It cuts the grass very evenly and leaves a smooth finish. The batteries have held up as advertised. I have about 2 acres and Have charge to spare when done. Plus the batteries charge back quickly.
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
