The mower itself is amazing! That earns 5 stars. The mower uses two rechargeable batteries. They both worked on the first mow. I but both back to recharge and noticed that one of the batteries on the recharging station was flashing red. Come to find out that battery won’t take or hold a charge. Tried switching sides to see if it was the charger itself. Was really disappointed in this as the mower itself cuts beautifully and is a workhorse.

I've always managed to avoid mowing the lawn, but once we bought this mower I've actually enjoyed taking a turn mowing once in a while. This mower is impressively powerful and cuts like a gas powered mower, but is SO much quieter. The self propelled function is very strong and really moves the mower quickly at the highest setting. The mower is so light that I really only use it when mowing the steep ditch at the front of our house. We have close to 1/4 acre of yard to mow and we have finally managed to mow fast enough to get the entire yard done without having to recharge the batteries. The batteries recharge fairly quickly though so it's not unreasonable to split a larger mowing job up over the day. (Or just buy a second set of batteries.) The light on the front of the mower is an additional handy feature, as there were some evenings over the summer that I mowed until it was dark out due to the heat during the day. I also love that this mower can be stored upright, or even hanging on a wall, because it takes up less floor space in our garage. Lastly, when this mower first shipped, the box was fairly torn up and one of the two bolts and knobs for assembling the handle together was missing. I contacted Greenworks and they were quick to ship me a new set. I was very happy with their customer service when I called in. Every person I spoke to was friendly and very helpful. (I do recommend calling as soon as their call center opens to avoid long wait times. Also, have the serial number of your mower on hand when you call.)

This is a great product. Easy to set up and very easy to use. Much reduced noise compared to my neighbors lawn mowers. Cuts very neatly. Battery is also quick to charge. Would have preferred a longer lasting battery

I really wanted to love this mower. It's a solid build and cuts the grass well. But very unfortunately, the battery is a huge issue and needs to be upgraded. They say that you can cut the lawn for about 45 mins. That is not really the case and simply depends on how high the grass is. Especially during the spring when the grass grows crazily, the mower can only run about 25 mins. However, if I cut the grass every three days, there is no problem for the mower to run that long to finish my backyard. It's a really frustrating thing when I have to recharge one time before finishing the yard.

I've been looking at different battery operated mowers since i spent $150 getting my gas mower serviced last year. I don't have a massive yard, normally takes about 45 minutes to mow, and having read some reviews, i saw most saying they got about 45 minutes use out of the batteries before it died. I can confirm i get around 45 minutes worth of mow time, so typically i'm nearly done, or have finished everything just in time for the batteries to die. I have ordered a spare battery that i can use, but they have been on back order. Very impressed with the mower, very quiet. Like having the ability to set the speed of the self propelled motors. Feel on the highest setting it's dragging me faster than i want to go, but i'm able to dial it back, and then slide it onto full power when i'm walking up the slope of my back yard. Putting the mower together was super easy. Took longer to take everything out of the box than it did to put it together. Box is well packaged and very well supposed to prevent damage. I'm hoping to buy a trimmer & edge from the same brand so i don't have to invest in more batteries.
