60V 25" Self-Propelled Cordless Lawn Mower – 2 x 4.0Ah Batteries & Fast Charger(75+ Tool Compatibility, 80Min Runtime)

Replaces 21" Honda push mulch-only mower. I am using in mulch mode. Mulches reasonably well and leaves a smooth surface --- much better than old mower. The extra width saves steps. The self propel saves me a lot of effort and works well with more speed range than I need. The two provide batteries will handle 1/4 acre lawn without recharging unless grass is really thick. The batteries recharge quickly with provided dual charger. The price seems reasonable and certainly competitive. Overall I am pleased with the purchase after 4 mowings --- durability remains to be seen.

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.

First, I'm a senior citizen and have owned many mowers over the years. Just purchased and made my first cut with this my first battery powered mower. Very easy unboxing and setup. Charge batteries, insert and push the button. My yard is half acre with about 15-18k square feet to mow. Used just less than one battery to mow entire yard. Never needed to use 2nd battery. Cut was great....no lines....no little balls of clippings...very smooth even cut on mulch mode. Have not use bagging yet. The self propel speed is adequate. I like to walk fast and the top speed setting is the same as my current Honda mower. The slow-medium speed settings are very slow. The only negative I found is, like others say, the mower hesitates about 2 seconds to pull back when mowing around bushes, trees, etc. when you need to pull straight back, if you release the self propel handle 3-4 feet from the end of row, that solves the problem. Also, the self propel handles seem to be a little flimsy for long term use. The collapsible handle is great and the ability to store on its side saves a lot of garage space. The 25" cut is nice compared to my Honda 21 inches. Appears to be solidly built and if is trouble free like my gas Honda has been for past 7 years, this will be a nice yard work investment. Highly recommend.

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.

Only a couple of mows in, but so far this has been a great mower for us. The 25 inch mow is amazing, and the metal case is thinner than our old mower with plastic, which has the effect of getting the cutting surface closer to the edge of the mower. This, combined with the dual blades allowing the case to fit between the tires, means a mow right up to the edge. The dual batteries work well, and seem to have power to spare, and the quick dual charger gets them going again quickly, so I could see this being good for, sae, a kid making extra money mowing in his neighborhood. The unit is, however, quite heavy, so if getting it around involves any lifting, this might be a problem for some people.

I’m very happy with this battery lawn mower. The blade was super easy to assemble, and it comes with two batteries. It takes about 45 minutes to mow my lawn and uses only around 40% of one battery, so the autonomy is excellent. The battery charger is very efficient. The noise level is very reasonable, it looks great, and works very well overall. Definitely recommended!

Two batteries last about 45 minutes.

I have used it twice and works very well so far it is a little on the light duty side . my other lawn mower was a Honda HR 21in 4hp witch i got in 1987 to now and it cut a ton of grass in mile term 250,000 miles worth as a expression. Do not think this one will not last as well . but still think it will do fine.

Battery life is outstanding! Perfect cut every time as well!
