[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this combo pack this month and the mower itself seems to operate well. I'm a little concerned about the leaf blower. During use I did experience a lack of response when I pushed the button to start the device and on a couple times the blower locked up with a grinding sound and stopped working all together. Waiting to see what the issue may be. When it operating it did work well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good features, easy to use. Would be better if comes with an extra battery. The company app is not available in the US, that's weird. Registration is a hassle, can't download the receipt.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I HAVE HAD THIS AND USED IT FOR ABOUT 2 AND HALF YEARS .it works well and i have had no issues. I like it so much I am thinking of buying a riding lawn mower 80-volt 42 inch. GreenWorks 80 Volt 42" Crossover Electric Riding Lawn Mower
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item because it does exactly what my gas mower does, plus it's lighter, and self propelled and has lights in front so I can cut grass in the dark and not wake up my neighbors. Comes with 2 batteries, a 80V 2.0 Amp hour, and a 80V 4.0Amp hour battery, with fast charger, rarely does it quit, my yard is approximately less than a 1/4 acre. On jackrabbit speed I get to hop to it, and turtle speed is s l o w.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it early to mid May and it's a great mower. I don't get around well so the turtle speed works great for me. I love the way it can be folded down to store . It saves space . My only riff about it is it's hard for me to push the buttons to fold it down.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are a lot of electric mowers out there. This one has the advantage of being 80v, holding 2 batteries, and stores upright. Those were important to me. As soon as I received it, I opened it up and cut my lawn. It was a dream! Fast chargers charged the batteries quickly. It used up both of the batteries, but it lasted! Had enough power and I didn't even test out the turbo mode. Love that it gives you options for mulching and open grass discharge although I didn't use any of them. The parts feel good enough quality to last. Looking forward to yard work nowadays with these awesome tools!
Have been using for a month and definitely feel I have been greenwashed. I can't mow for more than 20 mins without the battery dying (short grass too). The mower constantly puts itself into "turbo" mode which further drains the battery and even though I turn it off to go out of "turbo" mode and then back on, it goes back in another few seconds. Charging the battery takes at least 1.5 hours, but that's only after the battery has cooled since it's not, because I don't mow the lawn in the winter.... and then when it's done charging and I hit the charge indicator on the battery, it shows 4 lights and then immediately drops to 3 right out of the charger. I am all for paying a little more for a sustainable solution, but don't lie about your products abilities.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello greenwashed99. We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the mower's protection features. The mower likely enters "turbo" mode automatically due to an overcurrent protection system that kicks in when the battery is being heavily stressed, possibly by thick grass or uneven terrain. This is a safety mechanism to prevent damage to the battery and motor. To address this, we recommend exploring a few troubleshooting steps to potentially improve your battery's performance. 1. Check Grass and Terrain. Make sure you are not mowing through excessively thick or long grass, or areas with a lot of debris. Try adjusting the cutting height or moving through areas in shorter passes if possible. 2. Self-Propelled Engagement. If you are using the self-propelled feature, try engaging it more gradually and with a lighter touch. Excessive strain on the self-propelled mechanism can also trigger the overcurrent protection. 3. Battery Condition. Ensure your batteries are fully charged and in good condition. Worn batteries may struggle to provide the necessary power, leading to more frequent activation of the overcurrent protection. Yes, the batteries will require time to cool before charging. The amount of time that the battery requires to cool will vary depending on how much they have heated up while in use. The outdoor temperature can affect battery run time. If the unit is used in extreme heat, this causes the battery to overheat and deplete. We apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause. If you have tried these steps and the problem persists, we recommend contacting our customer support team for assistance with properly submitting a warranty claim.
