I recently purchased the 80v self-propelled mower. Overall, I appreciate many qualities including quick battery charge time, quiet motor, ease of storage, and cutting ability. My only complaint is that the wheel disasters are small enough to get caught in even the smallest crevices of uneven ground and the self-propelled mechanism is very weak on slight grades. To make it more frustrating, it seems like the rear wheels completely lock up sometimes when self-propelled mode is on. If not for that weakness, If have rated this machine with five stars.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought this unit to replace my gas Honda mower. I already like this machine. It works very well for my Bermuda grass on 1/4 acre yard. It has a lot of power to cut my tall grass. The self propel feature works well for me although it has few seconds delay to disengage.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

The weekend is when I cut our grass, I have been doing this since 1979 after working 60 plus hours this was my retreat and to this day I still enjoy it but after a broken spine I needed performance plus ease of use which it must have a self propelled unit and not using gas which you need to buy it, transport in, pouring it and storing it. I needed to take gas out of the equation but not give up performance. This Greenworks lawnmower not only does the job it does it safely and best of all quietly. I'm a Greenworks guy for life.

Makes me want to get out and mow!

I have owned this machine for 3.5 years, and I love it. I use it to mow my 1 acre property and without any attachments, I get beautiful lines in the lawn. I also use it to collect and mulch leaves in the fall, and it works great! People can't believe with the speed of the blades that on pavement, it collects every small piece of debris. All without having to store, pour and smell gasoline! Oh, yeah, and its easy to store, stands up on end making it very compact, leaving lots of room for my other greenworks tools!

My husband & I are both retired but still mow our own yard, etc. We had previously bought a Green Works leaf blower, then a Green Works snowblower & liked both. Our old lawnmower was dying so we got a Green Works self-propelled mower. We LOVE IT! It is so easy to use, no gas/oil, etc. lightweight & easy to maneuver and does a great job of cutting the grass. Doing the lawn seems so much easier now!

Does an ok job on medium to thin grss but if your law is thinck like mine you HAVE to walk slow otherwize it bogs down plus you wil have to stop to clean it out. I have medium size yard and now that it is thick, I have to stop t 3 to 4 tie sto clean out the mower. Very concerned that soon I will see smoke comming from the motor. An expensive mistake.
Pros: Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, September 13, 2023
Hello JoeAR,.
We're sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied with this lawn mower. It is important to recognize that the run time depends on the load acting against the unit and fluctuates depending on the height setting, the terrain, grass height, type of grass, whether you are mulching, operator technique, etc. - there are so many factors to consider. The harder the unit must work, the quicker the battery charge will drain. Similar to how the gas in a vehicle will deplete quicker when driving at higher speeds or carrying more weight.
Here are a few tips to extend your run time!
1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months.
3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily.
4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging.
5) Only use the self-propelled feature when needed. Self-propelled mowers do use more battery than standard push mowers as more power is being demanded from the battery to run the blades and the wheels.
We hope these tips will help! Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us on Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.

Gets the job done. The white grass catcher may not have been the best color idea considering it’s going over the lawn frequently. I’ll need to replace soon because it’s dirty—more brown than white.
