Hubby is very pleased with this lawnmower. No more extension cables through the window! Battery lasts for ages. Good cut too. Been using and is a delight. Relatively quiet also and lightweight in use. A good purchase.
Read the instruction before use. I didn’t and the mower kept cutting out. On referring to the instructions I found that I had the cut set too low. After resetting the cut the mower performed really well. Very happy with it and would recommend.
This is an amazing mower. It’s easy fit the battery, to turn on, to empty, to adjust and to store.
This is the first cordless mower I’ve had, I’d definitely recommend
It is really great lawnmower. Cuts the grass neat and clean.
The base battery full charge is enough for the area 15m x 10m this and is more than enough. Charger also quickly charges the battery, but if you want bigger area to cut suggest to buy additional battery or bigger batteries.
The lawn mower works very well. I have 4 medium size lawn of each 30 sq.m. each. Couldn’t mow more than two at a time without recharging, but that’s okay. But fortunately my lawns are flat. The self drive works but is not very powerful I can’t imagine it would be of any help on a sloping lawn like I had in my previous house where I had a petrol mower with self-drive (unfortunately that rusted away).
I’ve been using this lawnmower for several months now and have been very satisfied. After reading other reviews I was hesitant on the battery power. I have the 2x24V batteries. But as long as both batteries are fully charged I can mow my lawn and also use the Greenworks blower (I bought this separately and the batteries are interchangeable) without having to recharge. It takes about 15 minutes on my grass, so not a large lawn. If you have a larger lawn, definitely go for the bigger batteries.
There was one problem with the rear flap. There are two pins that hold the rear flap in place and one broke. This in turn caused the flap to bend out of shape. I contacted Greenworks and they immediately sent a replacement part, no questions asked. Very satisfied with the guarantee and the customer service. We’ll see if the mower holds together for the long haul. But for the money, it still seems a good deal. I was able to replace the broken pin with a small wooden dowel (from leftover IKEA furniture parts) and it is working fine now.
First year good second year very poor batteries don’t hold charge , spoke to Amazon no help hopeless. 3year terrible. Do not buy this useless mowe
It would have been given 5 star in all areas but I cannot screw the lower handle screws into the machine as they don’t seem to be aligned and I can’t see the corresponding holes to connect them but its a reasonably tight fit so can still use it . It cuts very well indeed.
Sturdy machine. Easy assembly. Should have notification of the 2 pin plug
I love it that so quiet no noise very powerful cut all my large garden. No problem cheers
Cutting and pulling power are at least as good as the equivalent size petrol mower. OK, so the batteries only give you twenty minutes or so of use before needing recharging, but who want to mow grass for longer than that in one go? Not me. Hand me that bee
Bought to replace a petrol mower with the pull cord. Need life at bit easier at my age. This mower is just the job. The handle was the only thing needing attaching & was really easy to do & get the right height. The speed adjuster is perfect, with arthritic knees I can slow it down or speed it up depending how I feel. The batteries are simple to install & charge. I’m so pleased I bought it as I can now my own grass for a long time to come.
My two smallish lawns add up to about 80m2 and are uneven with slight slopes, which it can do with a bit of power remaining in the two 4ah batteries, using it’s self propulsion for 100% of the cut. The specifications claim a 480m2 cut is possible but I’m very doubtful – even if the area is very flat, the grass very short and self propulsion not used. As other people on here have stated 200m2 is probably the practical limit and even that may be optimistic.
A search of the forums that discuss lithium batteries gleans some useful advice:
1/ Store the batteries over the winter about 60% or 2/3 charged to extend their useful life.
2/ For safety NEVER let the batteries get colder than about 4C as this can damage them internally, resulting in a fire or explosion when they are used or charged.
It’s self-propelled or not whichever way you want to use it. Much lighter than the petrol mower it replaces so easy to manoeuvre. I’m much more productive with this. Batteries are adequate for both my lawns and quick to charge after. Very pleased with this. Expensive but I recommend.
When I received it I assembled it straight away and put it to use the day after because I needed to charge the battery. It does just what we need it to do
The second one is very suitable for my two small lawns and a single battery would be more than enough for these. This is surely the machine’s intended purpose. However, I was hoping the mower would prove useful for going around my trees and bushes in my orchard. I tried it out and it worked very well as it is very manoeuvrable, definitely powerful enough and unlike my strimmer there was no danger of damaging the plants.
So, I purchased a second 2Ah battery, a “used but good” item for 40.69 from Amazon. Both batteries last for12 minutes of constant mowing which means the machine can be used for 24 minutes in total. I found that this enabled me to get over half of my orchard done which is fine for me as mowing for 24 minutes is enough for me in one go.
I am therefore very pleased so far but you will have to weigh it up carefully to see if this tiny machine is for you.
The instructions are just about ok. I would of preferred to have all the information in the book, not part on a separate sheet. It would be better to have the paperwork at the top of the box not hidden on the bottom. The handle folding arrangement is poor. The second tread heeds to be longer so the Handle folds before coming off the second tread. The handle it’s self is not very ridget. The worst thing I found is the height adjustment. Having to rely on flexing the plastic mechanism is poor engineering. I can’t see this mechanism lasting very long with heavy use.
Some kind of clips would be helpful to hold the electric cable in place. I used cable ties with slack around the handle folding arrangement.
As yet I haven’t used the mower on a law but when I do , will revisit this review.
Mid April update
Used a couple of times on a new lawn . Battery life was fine on my small lawn and the cut was very good.
Increased my star rating
It’s also pretty quiet. I went out to mow the lawn at 8.30AM the other Sunday and it simply wasn’t a problem… it didn’t even wake my wife!
BUT if, like me, you have a third of an acre of land, and say half of that is lawn (total around 700 square metres), you’re looking at 2 full charges to mow your lawn (so one break in the middle to recharge). The ad says it should do up to around 480 sq m, so I guess that’s about right.
Be aware, though, that with long grass, I needed to recharge twice to finish the job. I’m not talking “knee length” grass here, mind you. More, “oops, I missed a week” length (in spring when the grass grows quickly)
Each recharge takes a couple of hours.
This sounds like a pain, but seriously, this mower is so easy to use and to set up that I don’t find it an issue at all.
However, in use it is brilliant. It has extra power when needed and cuts through anything I have. The grass bag, while not huge, is easy to detach and empty. The height settings are fine for me, but may be slightly high if you’re cutting a bowling green!
As others have said, not having wires means you can get on much more quickly. My rt minutes is now about 30. I love it. The 1 bar of battery is enough to do a bit of strimming with the matching strimmer. Charging times are OK too. Haven’t measured it, but seems quicker than I was expecting.
Update after a few months.I’ve bitten the bullet and purchased 2x4ah batteries which have transformed the product. It’s great now, cuts well and the 4ah batteries last for both lawns , front and back. I’ve also bought a bare greenworks reciprocating saw which does small jobs fine with one of the original 2ah batteries.
Great product, expensive batteries. Moral of the story: unless you already have spare greenworks batteries from other appliances then get the 4ah batteries to start with.
