60V 17" Brushless Cordless Push Lawn Mower, 2-in-1 Mulching/Bagging, 4.0Ah Battery and 3A Charger(40min Runtime)

I am really impressed with this product. I have owned at least three lawnmowers over the last 45 years, all major brands and all four cycle gas powered. None of them have been as easy to use as this and as well designed. There are so many features that I find wonderful to use. First of all is the ease of use of a battery powered lawnmower. No more going to the gas station for gas. No more filling the tank with gas. No more draining the fuel tank at the end of the season. No more pulling the starter rope. Now, my wife can mow the lawn in a pinch. I simply plug in the two batteries which are huge and then plug-in the safety switch that connects the batteries to the motor. I like the fact that separate paddles on the handlebar control the motor that spins the blade and the motor to power the wheels to move the lawnmower. Starting just the blade allows me to mow areas that are small near fences and other obstacles. Starting just the wheels on the lawnmower allows me to cross parts of my landscape that are bark mulch to get to the parts of my landscape that our grass. All I need to do to start mowing the lawn after I’ve plugged in the batteries, is to depress the paddles that control the blade, and if I want to, the paddles that control the wheels and then press the green start button above the paddles on the handlebar. The order is important, I tried pushing the green start button before I depressed the paddles and I thought I had a broken lawnmower. The next thing I really like is the fact that the grass catcher works better than any other grass catcher I have ever used. The lawnmower ejects the grass deep into the bag starting at the back and gradually fills the bag all the way to the top in the front. I don’t need to constantly take the bag off, shake it to the back and put it back on. The bag is also easy to take off and put back on. I bag my clippings to prevent thatch and to use as mulch behind my fence to prevent undergrowth from my neighbor’s woodland invading my landscaping. Another feature, I like a lot is that I only need to adjust one lever to change the height of the lawnmower over the grass. The lawnmower has plenty of power to cut my lawn, even when the grass is tall and I’m using one of the lower settings over the grass. The lawnmower has two batteries, but my lawn is small enough that I really never actually end up using the second battery. The battery charger charges the batteries very quickly but recharge times are not critical for me because I cut my entire lawn with just one of the two batteries. The lawnmower automatically switches batteries when needed. I am glad I got the product with two batteries because a single battery is almost fully discharged by the time I finish my yard, which is moderately large. I also like the fact that it has headlights that allow me to cut the lawn after dark. They are bright enough to allow me to clearly see the grass ahead and to mow the lawn without leaving strips of grass uncut. The lawnmower is also quiet. Setting the speed of wheels is a little finicky. A small switch adjusts the speed but finding a spot that is the right pace for me is a work in progress. It’s either too fast or two slow. Another thing that took some getting used to was releasing the paddles controlling the wheels to make sharp turns. When you release the paddles the wheels are usually still locked and so you can’t pull the lawnmower towards you until you first push lawnmower forward half a foot to release the wheels. The lawnmower is well made but I doubt it will last as long as my gas powered ones because the batteries will probably die within a few years and I imagine they will not be cheap to replace. The price of the lawnmower was competitive and even cheaper than a good gas powered lawnmower. As battery powered lawnmowers go, this is cheaper than an Ego or Toro by at least two hundred dollars but it doesn’t feel flimsy or poorly made. I have been using the product for about a month and I’m very satisfied so far.

I picked up this Greenworks 40V electric mower about a year ago, back in October, and it has been a fantastic experience overall. Seriously, never having to deal with gas cans, oil changes, or frustrating pull starts again is pure bliss. It is the main reason I switched from my old model, and I have zero regrets on that front. One huge benefit I did not fully anticipate is how light and easy it is to handle. It is only around sixty pounds without the batteries, which means in the winter I can easily fold it up and carry it down to the basement. That maneuver saves me tons of valuable space in my tiny one car garage. Plus, it handles mulching, bagging, and side ejection really well; it is a versatile machine that is also a cinch to clean up when I am done. My few complaints are minor but worth mentioning for a full review. First, the suction is just not great. It cuts the grass itself fine, but right now, during the Midwest fall, it struggles to pull small leaves into the bagger. My old gas Honda was so much better at that particular task. I suspect the electric motor runs at a lower RPM and that means lower overall suction power. Also, occasionally, maybe forty percent of the time, the automatic battery swap gets confused as one power pack dies. It will keep mowing weakly for a minute or two before it finally seems to remember and switches to the other battery, and I have not figured out a way to manually force the swap. It is just annoying when it happens. Finally, I wish I could turn off the little lights. They come on automatically, and while they probably barely drain the battery, I do not need them shining at three in the afternoon in July. Give me a switch on that thing! Despite those little quirks, I am very happy with the purchase and the overall freedom that electric mowing provides. It is an excellent upgrade for suburban lawn maintenance. I just hope it lasts as long as my Honda did (20 years!).

The Greenworks 60V 21” mower is impressive, powerful, quiet, and easy to push. The LED lights and aluminum handles add real quality. Cuts cleanly, holds charge well, and makes lawn care effortless. Excellent performance and great value.

The Greenworks 60V 25" cordless mower is a solidly built machine that I purchased to replace a gasoline-powered 22" push mower. I was tired of the maintenance that comes with a gasoline powered device and since I already had battery powered lawn maintenance devices, I thought I'd give a battery powered mower a try. After a few months of use, I am happy to say that overall the battery powered mower experience has been quite good. That said, there are some issues that bear mentioning. Mower issue #1: The mower keeps the "traditional" design of gasoline push mowers with two wheels forward, followed by the deck, then the following wheels. This means that it has the same issue that comes with gasoline powered push mowers where the forward two wheels crush down the grass before the blades can cut it. This is a problem with this mower in particular because of mower issue #3, below. It's not clear why Greenworks chose to go this route. For a gasoline powered mower, the designer is pretty much stuck because the power source is a big hunk of iron that needs to be mounted in the middle of the deck to swing a big blade around, so the wheels naturally need to be placed on the four corners of the deck to keep the whole thing stable. Yes, I realize this is a bit of an oversimplification, but most gasoline powered mowers do it this way to keep costs down. The Greenworks mower, however, doesn't really have that set of problems. Placing the blades before the front wheels (very doable because "electric") would provide a much better cut and would eliminate issue #3. Mower issue #2: The mower achieves its 25" cut width by using two side-by-side blades under the deck. The blades are considerably further from the mower deck edge than any other mower I've owned over the years. As a result, the amount of uncut grass next to the mower deck is greater than with other mowers so I find myself trimming more than I had been. --- Mower issue #3: As mentioned, the mower uses side-by-side blades. This implies, and is true in fact, that the blades are short. The short blades seem to have less of a vacuum effect to pick up grass that is lying down. Enter issue #1; the front wheels crush down the grass before the blades can get to it then the low vacuum isn't enough to pick the grass up completely so the grass along the wheel lines is a bit longer than elsewhere. When the grass eventually un-crushes itself, you end up with an uneven cut. At this point you either live with the uneven cut or you end up going over the lawn a second time to fix the issue. Which brings up the other issue with the side-by-side blades. --- Mower issue #4: The dual blade design misses spots. I don't mean that there is a line where the blades miss cutting the grass, but rather that one will be cutting straight, look behind and see a random clump of uncut grass right in the middle of the pass you’re currently making. If you run over it a second time, it'll then be cut, but it's unclear why this happens. Playing with the self-propelled speed control, it seems that the uncut clumps are more prevalent when cutting slower. That's very counterintuitive, but testing it repeatedly, that really does seem to be the case. --- Mower issue #5: For all of the reasons given in the previous issues, the default blade speed pretty much guarantees the need to mow the grass twice, either by making two passes every time or by mowing once, then going back and mowing a second time. Interestingly, Greenworks provided a "turbo" button to increase the blade speed. Increasing the blade speed does seem to mostly mitigate issues #1 through #4. After a lot of experimentation, it seems to be the case that running the mower in turbo mode, using the self-propel speed control to set the speed to ~3/4 results in an acceptable cut without the need to cut the grass twice. --- Mower issue #6: The controls. Oh, the controls. How do I hate thee, let me count the ways... The self-propel speed control is placed such that it's really easy to change using either thumb. You know what else can easily change that speed? EVERYTHING!!! Tight spot backing into a bush, speed change. Pull the mower towards yourself and touch the handle, speed change. Remove a hand from the handle to grab a low hanging branch, speed change. Sometimes I'm just walking along and the speed feels a bit off, look down and see the speed has changed. No idea how that happened... Clearly, nobody actually tested the mower prior to releasing it to the public as this was very noticeable within 10 minutes of using it. Which brings me to the self-propel engagement control. These are two little paddles towards the user behind the troublesome speed control. When you pull the mower towards yourself to, you know, mow like a normal human, guess what bumps into you before the handle? If you said the self-propel engagement control, you would be correct! If residential lots are perfectly flat, this would probably never be an issue, but where I live there is very little flat land. Try mowing a ditch or a steep bank and *not* come into contact with the handle. It's extremely annoying because you're pulling the mower up the bank and suddenly the thing jumps forward and locks the wheels so that you can only go forward. Clearly some thought was given into control accessibility, but how about expending some thought to protecting those controls from issues that come with normal use. --- Mower issue #7: Well, I say issue, but it’s really about a design choice. The mower has two batteries. It uses these serially, meaning first one, then the other. It’s clear that the mower is aware of its batteries as it queries them for their status and is happy to run with only one battery installed. The problem with this choice has to do with the physics of batteries. By running the batteries serially, that places maximum load on first one, then the other battery. Battery physics says that the higher the load, the more energy is wasted. It’s easy to see: take a battery and discharge it over one hour, then use the current draw to come up with an amp hour rating. Do the same thing over 10 hours and calculate that amp hour rating. The second one will be significantly higher than the first. Convert each to watt hours and you have energy, with the latter having provided much more than the former for the exact same battery. You’ll also have stressed the battery a lot less in the second case. Using its batteries in parallel would result in half the load on each battery resulting in improved runtime and less wear on each battery. --- I know that all those issues sounds like a lot, but overall it really is a pretty decent mower. Here are a couple of bonus tips for things that were not obvious to me when I made the switch to electric. Tip #1: It hadn’t occurred to me how much the fumes from my old gasoline powered mower were keeping away insects. I very quickly found a cloud of insects forming around my face with the new mower. Taking a page from my old hiking days, get yourself a broad brimmed hat (good idea to keep the sun off you anyway), and spray the brim with DEET (ASIN : B0738NCJMH). This keeps most insects away from your face without needing to slather chemicals on your skin. --- Tip #2: Use hearing protection! I’d thought that without an explosion engine running that hearing protection wouldn’t be necessary. Engine/motor-wise, this is true. What I didn’t recognize initially is how loud things like small sticks, pine cones, etc. slamming into the deck would be. If you have none of these things in your yard, the mower is pretty quiet, but otherwise hearing protection is a must.

You won't go wrong buying this battery-powered mower, at least in my case. We bought this Greenworks 25", 60 volt battery-powered mower a couple of months ago when it went on sale at Amazon. It came in a big box, so be prepared. Easy to unbox and put together. This mower is definitely much lighter than a gas-powered mower. Very easy to use. I wasn't sure at first because it performs so differently, but with consistent use, I was able to figure out its quirks and maneuvered it without difficulty. I am 4'11" tall and found that the lower handle adjustment (it has two positions) was perfect for me. I also found that when making a turn, it is better to take it out of self-propelled drive just by releasing the lever. Made it very easy to make a turn without the wheels digging into the lawn. Press the lever again, and you are off and running. I have a number of hills and valleys to maneuver and it performs with no difficulty. You can distinguish when one of the batteries empties by witnessing a slight "surge" noise in the power. I can get about an hour or two out of the two batteries. I love the 25" wide deck, as it cut the cutting time in half compared to the gas one. What I really like is how easy it is to store when I collapse the handle. Before storing it, it is a must that you clean the under-carriage of debris and mud/dirt. I also have the same voltage Greenworks weed wacker (which is also a lightweight gem), so I can interchange batteries. The landscape picture is a third of our property. My husband is particularly enamored because he doesn't have to cut the lawn/moss anymore!

I only have a small 350 square foot patch of grass that i have mowed 3 times over the past 3 weeks. The battery is still on the original charge and has only dropped 1 light bar out of 4. It cuts clean, it's very very quiet compared to my old gas mower, it's very light weight which makes it nice to maneuver, the bag is easy to remove, the ignition button and throttle levers are so nice and easy to use. I went with the 60v because it has more suction power to lift the grass up and cut it clean and pick up all the leaves. The size was perfect for my needs. It's a very durable mower for being mostly plastic and it looks pretty cool. I think it a pretty good mower for the money . It's also very easy to clean and it collapses down (folds up) into a very small package which makes it easy to store in my shed. It supposedly has a head light but i don't know how it works since i don't mow my lawn in the dark. Maybe it has a photo cel that turns the light on? I need to try this thing in the dark to verify this. Overall, you can tell i'm impressed with this little battery operated machine. It also has a 3 year factory warranty which is impressive. You can purchase an extended warranty if you need.

This product is light, easy to store, runs well, charges quickly. I used it twice since I bought it and like the way it handles. You do need to know that the instruction manual is not very legible, and the photos are not really good. My particular problem was how to release the battery from the mower. The battery has no handles, and the release lever is not marked or colored differently from the rest of the mower body and is hard to detect. After searching your YouTube videos and website sales pitches I could not find ANYTHING relating to a battery release. I hope in the future when I need to speak to a company representative, I will be able to get a reply. Needless to say, less pitches more help. Color your release RED. I regret making a one-star review of this portion of my review.

this is A great system ...came with charger and two batteries and extra set of blades. lots of plastic so hope it holds up over time...electric motor is a little louder than expected but still more quite than a gas one ...and no fumes. the one handle adjustment to raise and lower the deck is such a great design...no more having to adjust each wheel one at a time. cuts ,mulches , and bags well.
