60V 21" Brushless (Self-Propelled) Cordless Lawn Mower, 2 x 4.0Ah Batteries (3/4 Acre, Rapid Charger, 4-in-1, LED Lights, IPX4)

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!).

Very impressed. Nice quality, comes almost fully assembled (you have to attach the upper handle to the lower handles). Love the push button start and self propelled features. Made to hold both batteries and automatically switch when one runs down. Easy height adjustment, quick release of self propelled feature for manual control. Haven't used it a lot yet but it worked well on my almost half acre lot which is a pretty even mix of grass and weeds. Since we are both in our 70's it's much easier for us to use than our gas powered mower.

When this arrived and we went to insert the handle there was extra cord between the lower handle and top handle and we could not insert it to make room to insert the top handle. Luckily by brother came over, he removed the cord bracket from the bottom and we were able to pull it down that way, but then we had extra cord at the bottom which I had to pull through the tubing toward the center of the mower so it did not get caught on the wheels. Secondly, one of the batteries says 4 bars when charged but quickly goes down to 2 bars after one pass. I will call customer service on Monday and will change my review if I get help. Otherwise it performs great, yard look great and easy to manage machine. Seems very powerful.
