Greenworks 80V 21" Brushless Cordless (Self-Propelled) Lawn Mower (75+ Compatible Tools), 4.0Ah Battery and 60 Minute Rapid Charger Included

I have not had to cut a lawn since the early 1980's. Now in the midst of labor shortages and rising prices for lawn services, I decided to try cutting it myself. This mower was/is a good choice. Our previous lawn service had empty shelves from all the awards they were not winning, so last year we bought the Green Works 40 V blower and trimmer for light clean up duty AFTER the lawn crew was done each week. We liked both of them. So this year we decided to ditch the crew and bought the 80 V Pro self propelled mower. It has so far been a great product. 1. SO much quieter than a gasoline mower. 2. No exhaust fumes 3. No hot engine and muffler to burn yourself on. 4. No pull start 5. Can be stored vertically; no fluids to spill. There are 'feet' built in to hold it upright if you like. 6. No need to cart gas home in a jerry can. 7. It is really quiet. I know I said that before but I thought you may have not heard it. 8. It is lightweight. Most of the time I don't use the self propelled feature. 9. You can use the self propulsion without having to run the blades. Handy if you are moving it a ways. 10. Battery life is good. I did buy an extra battery figuring I would need it, but I could have gotten by without it. My lot is about 1/3 acre. 11. It does not use a lot of electricity. I do not run the batteries down to empty. From about 20-33% charge, it takes about an hour to charge. I threw a meter on the charger; it starts out at about 350 watts and was more like 100 as it was finishing. 12. Wheel height adjustment is a snap. Literally. A spring-loaded lever snaps into 7 different settings. While the self propelled feature is handy, it is a bit quirky as it takes a few seconds for that motor to come up to speed. Whereas a self propelled gas mower is powered by the engine already running so it starts at speed. This is just one of those things you get used to. Not a show stopper. Once that motor is cranking, it has plenty of power and (adjustable) speed, it just takes a second that you may not be accustomed to. The quality of the cut is fine. The 80V motor has all the oomph you need to get through wet or tall grass. While lightweight and easy to manage, it is still heavy enough to leave tire tracks to line up your rows. The bagger works fine, but I usually use the mulching mode. I would buy this again and tell my friends to do the same. The competition is hot in this area, and I only own this one, so maybe there could be something yet better on the market, but this one seems to tick all the boxes and not only am I happy, my Greek chorus of nosey neighbors all seem to like it to.

Hitting my mid-30s, I became a bit of a curmudgeon when it came to yard work. I grew tired of all the noisy, unreliable, gas-powered equipment that constantly broke down. I decided to go full Luddite, swapping out my old tools for quieter, more reliable options like a 21-inch push-reel mower, a grass whip, and a long-handle scythe. These tools work great for most of my yard (though they certainly take a lot more time and effort!), which is just shy of 2 acres, but there are always those tricky spots near the vinyl siding or in tight corners that demand something more precise. That’s where the Greenworks 80V weed whacker comes in. It’s whisper quiet—quieter than my wife’s 20V and 40V weed whackers that are about 6 years old, and even quieter than my push-reel mower, which is absolutely insane that they managed to make the power tool that quiet! The battery lasts a solid 20-25 minutes of continuous (trigger down the entire time on the boost setting) use, even on thick, lush shade grass, and the same battery can power the blower afterward. Cleaning is easy, though there's a bit of a tricky spot where the guard connects to the shaft that gets grass debris wedged in there (yes I clean my tools after use, it's how you get them to last). The weed whacker is lightweight, easy to handle, and the auto-feed works well. I also use the battery-powered mower, which is well thought out and plenty powerful for typical suburban yard work (my yard is definitely not suburban and is too big for a battery mower). The grass clippings bag is easy to use and well-constructed, making clean-up simple. However, the mower is surprisingly loud—certainly not as loud as a gas mower, but louder than I expected after running the whisper-quiet weed whacker. The leaf blower, on the other hand, is surprisingly loud for a battery-powered tool and underpowered for the amount of noise it makes. It’s decent for light tasks but doesn’t quite meet my expectations in terms of power. The whacker works ok for dry grass but can't really blow other weeds around much, so it usually sits in favor of the rake or my 120v plug in blower. That said, having two batteries to swap between the weed whacker, mower, and blower is incredibly convenient, reducing downtime between tasks. Despite the blower's shortcomings, the reliability and quiet performance of the weed whacker and mower have made yard work something I actually enjoy. It’s good exercise, and the peaceful operation of these tools has turned a once-dreaded chore into a much more pleasant experience.

I was sick and tired of dealing with gas mower issues with carburetor or fuel line and what not. Took a leap of faith and all I can say is that I regret not taking this decision sooner. This mower is amazing!!! This is not paid review, I purchased this mower and writing my personal experience of using it. So far, I've mowed my lawn 5 times and am beyond delighted. I purchase 8Amps battery model and also purchased on 4 Amps battery just to be on the safe side. I have about 1/2 acre lot with some slopes here and there and 8Amps gets me thru it - Greenworks says it can mow 3/4 but I'm guessing that's in ideal conditions where land is flat, grass is not crazy tall and grass blades are not hard. This thins is powerful, way quieter than gas mower. One feature that I love above all is its ability to momentarily speed up motor the moment it senses resistance from grass...my gas mower would choke and stall where this mower cut thru like butter with increased speed. Other cool feature is that if you want to use the wheel power to move it, you can do that without having to spin the mower blade...it comes in handy when I'm move it back into garage after completing my mowing. I must say that Greenworks engineers and design team truly spent time and effort into making this awesome product, no corners were cut and its built solid, you would feel it. One tip, when your using self-propelled feature, don't try to move it back immediately after releasing the lever, wheels take a second or two to release.
