Good replacement for my gas mower

I've had a chance to use this a few times in varying conditions, and it works surprisingly well. I have been using a Cub Cadet SC 500 e+ (160cc) mower for the past few years, and had expected that the new electric mower wouldn't have the power to get through the tall, heavy grass. Surprisingly, the mower had no problem and actually did a much better job collecting the cuttings into the rear bag. The two 4Ah batteries provide much more time than I need to mow both the front and backyards. The only issue I had was one of the ring clips was not installed on the bag catcher rod, easily fixed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have lived in my home for 11 years and in 2015 was unable to mow the lawn due to my lungs having Pulmonary Fibrosis. I was unable to push are gas mower. So we bought the 80v self propelled Green Works lawn mower. I have no problem with this mower. It is durable, quick and the battery is very reliable.

Poor Battery 🔋
on May 19, 2024
Posted by: Raj45
from Aberdeen,MD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product couple weeks ago and tried it for the first time with full charge battery but it died half way through the process. I had to wait until I had the power again since I had to charge it again to use it. Company advertised stating you can cut half an acre with single charge which isn’t true. I’m pretty sure I will be returning this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, May 21, 2024
Hello Raj45,
We're sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied with your current run time. 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! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please start a Live chatbot through the customer contact page located on our website: www.greenworkstools.com or contact Greenworks at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

I wanted a mower that was reliable and that if service was warranted it could be done locally. After reading the reviews and on a recommendation of a local dealer that would be starting to sell Greenworks I purchased this mower. I have used it once and it has exceeded my expectations. I cut a newly seeded 1/3 acre lot of thick weed stalks and it did a superb job with only one recharge. I am very happy with my decision on purchasing this mower.

I replaced my well used gas powered mower with the 80 v self propelled GreenWorks mower. I mow about 1/3 acre, and need the self propel feature less than 1/4 of the time. With the 4 amph battery purchased separately, I can finish with a battery needing a recharge. The mower is light and easy to push. With my GreenWorks blower, string trimmer, and an edger attachment, all my lawn care needs are satisfied. I would recommend this mower even if you think you don't want a battery powered mower.

More than expected of a mower

I used 80 V self propelled lawn mower past 2 springs to whack 3' tall weeds with up to 1" stalks. While it won't do that and climb uphill at the same time, there's no problem munching huge weeds while going downslope. And height adjustment allows passing over rocks up to ~3" rocks. Great tool!

I have only had the chance to use this twice since i purchased it. I was able to get an hour of operation out of my 1 year old 2A battery and was very happy that they runtime was as advertised. I was also impressed with how quiet the mower is. I was wearing some bluetooth ear buds and could barely hear it over my music which was not up very loud. Seemed to have plenty of power for cutting and the self propelled mode. One of my favorite features is the way that it stores. Being able to fold the handle down and store the mower upright is a huge space saver. I'd give it 5 stars but i need to use it over at least a season to see how it holds up. Great job Greenworks. (i also have the 18 in chainsaw and the handheld leaf blow and those work great too!)
