[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine has worked perfectly. It works well at mulching leaves. It's nice to set the blade speed higher for mulching. I can easily mow my 3/4 of an acre lawn on one battery charge. I love that my chainsaw, trimmer, blower and now mower all can use the same batteries and chargers. I used the heavy duty steel shipping frame to make a stand for my canoes - bonus!
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this unit at the beginning of summer this year, batteries last longer than I expected. Unit runs well, the only issue I've had is two things. one the blades for the 30-in have been on back order for 6 months, secondly when using the bagger, there's a huge opening above the rear wheel that doesn't really allow for the proper air flow so that the bag literally stays empty and it's nothing more than a mulcher.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower exceeded my expectations! No more belts coming off in the middle of mowing. This thing rides and cuts amazingly. It also has more power than I expected and I haven't gone below 1/2 of battery charge so far. Perfect for my 1/4 acre lot. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a difficult review to write because we love the idea of this electric mower BUT the run time just is not what is advertised or claimed.
We have given the Maximus Z over 32 hours of use so far and we can confidently say this mower is meant to be for less than an acre with the lowest blade and speed setting. It is not meant for farm use over an acre which is what we purchased it for. It cannot even do 2 acres on flat ground on lowest setting. I feel like there is some serious false advertising claiming that it can do up to 5 acres. Yeah maybe over 5 days with 5 charges in between with at least 3 hours for a full charge each time.
We find ourselves looking for a gas powered machine that can handle a longer run time.

Does the 80-volt Maximus 60” Zero Turn Mower really cut 5.12 Acres

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I believe Greenworks 80-volt Maximus 60” Zero Turn Mower is going to be a great mower. It is well designed, sturdy, and comfortable to ride. It did a great job of cutting my yard and my field. However, I had to charge this lawnmower five times to mow approximately 8 acres. But this could be because of the height of the grass and the settings I placed the mower in. The first charge I mowed an area where the grass was quite high, I set the mower blades to high speed and the mower at average speed. The second charge I mowed an area where the grass was not very high, I set the mower blades to high speed and the mower at average speed. The third charge I mowed an area where the grass was not very high, I set the mower blades to second speed and the mower at average speed. The fourth charge I mowed an area where the grass was not very high, I set the mower blades to low speed, the mower at high speed and raised the deck up 0.25 to 2.5 height. This allowed me to mow over an hour and half, and approximately 2 acres. And finally, the fifth charge after I mowed my yard, I still had 75% of my battery left. So, I was not able to cut 5.12 Acres per charge as advertised. I believe our mowing season is just about over, I still have great expectations for next year.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this mower for 4 months now and I am very pleased with it. I have a half-acre yard and I can mow it twice on one charge. I have had a few issues with traction in tight turns but nothing unusual. Love the “cargo bed” in the back instead of a hot, noisy motor. So easy to maneuver and the ride is smooth. Cutting height is very easy to adjust.
