Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great mower holds charge. Love it. Nice and quite.

For starters: I have lots of wonderful things to say about this Greenworks 80-volt self-propelled lawnmower. It is powerful, effective, easy-to-use, quiet (compared to many other options), thoughtfully designed, and easy to store. For my needs on a small residential (~1/6 acre) lot, this mower does it all and truly makes my life easier. Even if I needed to charge it during a mow, it charges from low to full in a short time. In short: I love this thing. Here's a quick list of my favorite things about the mower: • Quick charging battery • Enough power to cut my whole lawn and propel itself as much as I need it to • The option to mulch, side-discharge, or bag grass clippings • Seven different cut height adjustment options • Two handle height adjustment options • Quiet operation (significantly less noisy than gas or plug-in electric) • Blade automatically speeds up when it needs to • Can be stored folded, upright in a small space Here's a couple things I think aren't as good as they could be: • Pictorial quick-start instructions aren't great, and it took me a minute to figure a few things out during setup (oh, you have to hold the power button *down* while pulling the start paddles back toward the handle!) • Self-propelled speed control is a little touchy, jumping from too slow to too fast unless you're careful Here's the long review: I'm a homeowner with many years of experience mowing my lawn. But I am by no means a "lawn guy," meaning I don't mind some weeds or dandelions, I don't water, and I maybe let the grass get a little too long before cutting in the spring. Part of that is due to climate: the Pacific Northwest has wet winters and springs that make the grass grow thick, and warm dry summers that turn everything brown by June. I have used both plug-in and gas powered mowers in the past couple years, and after spending some time with this Greenworks mower, I'm not going back. This mower means I can be ready to go as soon as the spring grass is dry enough for it. No more 100-foot extension cords or greasy, smelly gas-powered engines necessary. I probably still won't be a "lawn guy," but this Greenworks mower is so easy to use that I'll certainly be taking better care of my grass. Setting up this mower is pretty simple out of the box. You have to charge the battery, pick up the mower, push the top part of the handle into the main part and insert two bolts into two nuts. When the battery is charged, you push it down into the mower body until it clicks, adjust the cut height and handle height to your desired levels, then hold the power button while pulling the start paddles back toward the handle. You're off and mulching! If you prefer side discharge, you can easily hang the attachment on the side of the mower. If you prefer to bag the grass clippings, you can remove the mulching plug from the rear compartment and hang the bag on the back. The mower is easy to use, and propels itself well. When in self-propelled mode, you can't reverse, so you have to release the self-propel paddles and roll the mower forward for a second before pulling the mower back toward yourself. It takes about half of one mow to get used to doing this. Adjusting the speed of the self-propel function is the one challenge here. It is a bit tricky to get your preferred speed 100% dialed in, as the switch that controls the speed can jump from too slow to too fast, especially when you're bumping along behind the mower already. The mower does very well over flat or bumpy terrain. I can cut my entire 1/6 acre lawn on about 2 out of 4 battery indicator lights, but I charge each time anyway to prevent from running it down too much. At the end of mowing, it is extremely easy for me to fold the handle down over the body, prop the mower up and put it away standing up. I love this feature as it allows me to fit the mower into my garage full of stuff. All-in-all, I'm extremely pleased with this mower. Highest recommendation!

Does an amazing job of mowing my yard. Especially since there are thick weeds and grass. Definitely can tell when the turbo kicks in. Unfortunately, I do have to charge the battery in order to finish the entire yard. Had I researched more I would have gotten a second battery.

Works great. Downside is the better doesn't last as long as I need it to. Glad I have spare batteries. It comes with a quick charger and it's fully charged in about an hour.

Mower is quiet and battery lasted almost my whole yard (about 4000 sq ft). Been less than a year and already the battery and charger are not working. Tried all solutions suggested online and on the manufacturer pages but nothing works. Not willing to spend so much money to buy another charger or battery. Will definitely not be buying their products.

Cuts very nice! However only getting 30 minutes probably another battery in my future

We bought this 4/19/2023. Today it is 4-22-2024. The battery has stopped charging correctly. It will charge for 30 seconds and the red light starts flashing. This is the second Greenworks lawnmower we've purchased in the last 4 years. They do not last long. We hoped that upgrading to the $500 80 Volt mower would improve the longevity. I am waiting on hold at this moment with Greenworks phone customer service and their live chat simultaneously. Phone wait is now 35 minutes - chat is 15. I'm a Total Tech member, but it does not cover a Greenworks Mower. My suggestion - skip Greenworks products. Their customer service is the worst. When the mower runs, the 80-volt model works great. Unfortunately, either the batteries or the mowers themselves do not last much longer than a year or two.

Works perfectly! I have .88 acres & although one entire battery won’t get it cut, it mows my lawn beautifully. Just get an extra battery

Overall very good.Battery backup is arround 45 min .Also it varries as per grass height.

Great so far. Battery life could always be longer but otherwise there’s plenty of juice to low our small yard. Easy to push without self propelled being engaged.

Bought this to replace my gas mower. Battery issues already, can't believe this. I keep the battery in the house climate controlled and properly charged. I do not leave on the charger either. Went to use it and have battery error. Good grief

Work good ,but grass getting clog a lot ,other than that it do the job

This mower is perfect for those who have small lawns less than 1/2 acre and do not want the hassles of gas and maintenance of gas powered mowers.

It’s ok just have to keep charging battery if you don’t mow fast

Battery wasn’t working more than 21 mins, called customer service and they suggested to return whole product

Love it!! Perfect for a 65 year old woman I love that you can adjust the speed on the self propel!! Highly recomend.

Wow for a battery operated lawnmower... lawny did a good job of cutting some tall grass and taking down weeds 6 feet tall... never thought I would have one. Good buy!

Purchased in May 2023. Used three times unit stopped working. Call Greenworks customer service. Gave me the address of an Authorized dealer for repair( Aug 28 )Unit will take 45 days or more to be diagnosed . Unit Self-Propelled either runs to slow or too fast. Battery Life is good, But unit is all plastic (don't Think will last long) Now I have no mower for the rest of the season Sorry I went to Battery power. Gas was much more Powerful .

I love it, battery life could be better but I think that’s because my yard desperately needed a cut and the grass was too long.

Difficult when turning and cutting the grass; awkward, difficult to control on a turn even on the lowest speed
