Wow. One of the most impressive tools I own.
By Craig Gordon on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018
I rarely write reviews, but this product is so awesome in every way I just have to. I already own lots of battery powered tools and even have a very high-end all electric boat with Lithium batteries for tournament bass fishing so I’m no stranger to battery power. Despite this, I was slightly hesitant to order the 40v model vs. 80 vs. the Lowes exclusive 60. I was only worried about it having enough power and not bogging down in my very thick/dense yard. Worry not.We have a 2+ acre yard so I really got this to mow inside a small fenced pool area vs. using a riding mower and also to trim around some trees. A testimonial to the power of this mower - because I had put down seed with straw blankets on top in spots, i let the entire about 3k sq/ft area grow for several weeks. Most of the area was about 8-12” high. I thought for sure the mower would choke even on the highest (7) height setting. It had no issues at all even at the fastest self propelled speed and only 2 or 3 times even kicked into the auto sensing high power cutting speed. I mowed the area once at height 7 then moved it to 4 and redid it just to get it even shorter. I also used self propelled for a 40 yard walk to/from area including it pulling up a decent hill for half of that as a test.Pros (all super great)-easy 5-10 minute assembly out of box-everything very solidly built, like a “real mower”-powerful multi speed self propelled. Also, this works without starting mower, unlike gas mowers. So you can use it to get to/from job area limiting battery use..... or push it if u want.-very quiet compared to gas. 1/4 - 1/2(max) the noise-battery life? I used 5ah battery to mow that area 2x for about 20 min. Of mowing and use of self propelled. It took 1.5 hours to charge battery so I’d estimate I used at most 50% of battery (they say 4 hrs to fully charge). Calculate that out to estimate of let’s be conservative and just say 40 min. Of run time. With 2 batteries I would think you can mow a 1/8th to 1/4 acre area.-7 easy mowing height adjustments-easy everything ... start, self propelled, instructions, assembly-no gas, oil, dirt, setup time, maintenance.. just walk out get mower, push button, mow-winterize - e.g. gas treatment, run gas out, etc.... nada-grass bagger/bagging great, clean cut-batteries: easy in and out and even are to hold spare. Please ignore all the complaints I see within of people saying the battery is hard to remove once inserted (I.e. that it’s hard to press the release and u need a tool to help with that). Absurd comments unless you have zero wrist strength and your fingers are so big your hand doesn’t fit in a mailbox.-battery can be used in the other green works tools. ( I also,bought the equally awesome blower and trimmer. Trimmer tested with using all my existing Ryobi attachments which is nice if desired.)Con-with thick real thick yard, I would say height adjustment below 3 will drag mower deck in front. (Too low)

Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A complete piece of junk!!!!!!
By Jim Joe on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2019
Update Oct 9th (purchased Feb): 8 months later and NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE FROM THIS TERRIBLE COMPANY! They outright REFUSE to provide assistance. Uploaded another video of the mower failing to work without even cutting grass. Biggest waste of money I've made in a while!Stops mowing every few feet and beeps repeatedly. Not in thick grass or on a low profile or anything. Refuses to restart until I tip the mower completely onto its side and then right it again. This thing cannot handle grass more than 1" above its cutting profile. One of the absolute WORST most WORTHLESS and HORRIBLE mowers I've ever had the displeasure of using!The battery is almost IMPOSSIBLE to remove. The flap that hides it doesn't open far enough for NO REASON AT ALL besides BAD DESIGN. Absolutely NOTHING fits right on this thing.The "safety" bars that you have to pull while it runs will pop OUT of their sockets a couple of items every mowing session. But since you can't move more than a few feet before it completely gives up anyway, it gives you plenty of time to fix it.It has insane problems where it won't start mowing until you tip it over and right it, and then sometimes it WON'T STOP MOWING even if you're not even touching the darn thing. You have to manually rip out the battery or red circuit breaker in order to get it to stop mowing.UPDATE 4-25: After more than a DOZEN contact attempts to the company without a SINGLE response, I am seeking legal council to pursue action against greenworks for not only a dangerous item, but an item that does not work and a company that's outright refusing to provide any sort of help or support.Call the line: "We can't do anything you have to fill out the form online"Fill out the form online: ....... nothing.....Fills it out again: nothing.........and again: nothing..........calls back: "We can't do anything you have to fill out the form online", but they don't respond, "We can't do anything you have to fill out the form online."It's now been almost THREE MONTHS that I have been trying to get support from SOMEONE, and NOTHING! HORRIBLE PRODUCTS, HORRIBLE SERVICE, absolutely HORRIBLE company! Avoid at all costs!
