Regretting buying this mower, horrible batteries

Major issues after 3 years, 6/6 bad batteries, error codes, etc. Within the first year my first of 6 batteries died. Greenworks replaced as it was still within the 3 year warranty. The next spring two more batteries died (originals) and GW replaced those. I'm now a few months past the end of my warranty and my last 3 original batteries have died. Now down to just the 3 replacement batteries. which seriously reduces my cut time.
Aside from this I'm getting error codes relating to both the electric motors that drive the cutting blades. I'm expecting that I'll have to either service or replace these motors.
Seriously wish I had found a different option.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe

Hello WCFJ78. Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating this situation must be, especially after relying on the unit over multiple seasons. Battery performance and long-term durability are important factors, and while replacements were provided during the warranty period, we recognize your concern now that additional batteries are no longer covered. Reduced runtime and system error codes can significantly impact usability, particularly on a riding mower. In cases like this, component wear over time, whether batteries or drive systems, can begin to affect overall performance. While we are unable to speak to specific outcomes, support may still be able to review available service options or provide guidance on next steps. We appreciate you taking the time to provide detailed feedback, as it helps highlight areas for continued improvement. Should you require any troubleshooting, warranty assistance, questions or other concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly via chat or call 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). Thank you for choosing Greenworks Tools!
Bought this two years ago. Bought two extra batteries marked batteries 1-8 rotate them. I have1.5 ac. I get two cuts before recharge. Love this machine have trailer great yard worker. ALL Yard tools are know greeworks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's everything I hoped it would be. Does a great job. has all the power I need to get the job done several times without a recharge
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice mower. Seems to be very well made. Have used it only 2 times on about 2 acres. Plenty of power and only used 60% of the battery charge. Noticeable power going uphill. Replaced a John Deere rider that just creeps uphill after running for 30 minutes. If you have what I would call a country property that is not a manicured smooth lawn, this machine appears to be what you need.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to go with the Battery Operate Riding Lawn Mower for several reasons. 1) I am getting too old (75 year old, female) to continually have to fill up heavy gas cans, lift them up to fill the tank and smell the fumes as I mow. 2) No more oil and filter changes, spark plug changes and battery maintenance.
I am so happy that I ditched gas and took the plunge to Battery Operated. The mower has been a dream to ride with comfortable seat, speed controls, constant blade speed and so many blade height adjustments. My yard lot is 80 x 120 and thus far I have been able to mow the yard 3 times without having to recharge the batteries. I am actually enjoying mowing the lawn for the 1st time in a long time. Highly recommend...buy one now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my 60v 42" riding mower, unpacked, and assembled and mowed the front pasture that was long and ragged after a dry winter. Nice cut, fast, and used only about 40% of battery. The ride is a little stiff and jerky but the cut is fast and clean. So far so good.
