Greenworks 80V 25" Brushless Cordless (Self-Propelled) Dual Blade Lawn Mower (LED Headlight + Aluminum Handles), 4.0Ah Battery and Rapid Charger Included

This thing was my first step away from gas powered mowers.Specifically, a Toro at your pace 6.75HP 22" mower.The electric mower has far more power. I love how it can be powered with the cutters off, and it's considerably lighter than my Toro. The Toro seemed to be having problems in spring when it came to start up again. I was on carb number 3, and while it would start up, it just didn't seem to ever be quite right. Over the 15 years I've owned it, I've replaced numerous loose bolts and auto chokes, etc... Fuel lines... Oil changes. Ugh. It's been quite a pet hate thing, but one I felt had no avoidance to... Until battery tools started getting to a point of having enough power.The GW has more power than the Toro. I know the blades are shorter, but that wider, yet shallower cut means the 25" cut extends to over both wheels in the middle of the deck, more like a ride on mower, and so doesn't pointlessly lose any cutting width. What I mean by this is it's a true 25" of cutting availability, not slightly less than technically advertised.Really, no complaints. It's so light it's easy to unclog if it gets choked up. I don't have to worry about oil, so you can just flip it onto it's side and deal with the problem.I thought at first the bag was smaller, but I then noticed it's actually much wider at the back, so the shortness is actually an advantage as you don't kick it as you walk.It folds up and has a huge grab handle to move it into a corner of my garage, something the Toro couldn't do.I suddenly have a free gas mower if anyone wants one :DThe only ever so slight negative I found... I was always worried about drive lag, as I'd heard electric could have this. I find this one doesn't, but it has a slight gap between when you let off the rear wheel drive to when it actually releases the wheels. If you mow right up to something the wheels won't disengage. You have to release the drive earlier than expected, and free wheel up to an object. That way the wheels are unlocked for you to pull the mower back.If you don't you have to brute force drag it back (something the much heavier gas mower needed continuously mind you, so I'm not even that bothered by it.)I feel this is more of a quirk, and something I can simply get used to to avoid, or continue brute forcing the (much lighter mower anyway) out of stuck spaces.5 out of 5. It's great.

Just a heads up if you live solo and have this delivered, the box weighs over 100 pounds. I had to flip it end over end to get it inside the area where I assembled it. The instructions for assembly and use are okay, not spectacular but I've seen a lot worse. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble it. One important thing to note is this mower only comes with ONE battery even though it holds two. I was worried that it wouldn't work with just one battery installed but it does. The instructions for how to start the mower are clear, but fail to mention how to engage the blades. You need to pull back on the green bars on the inside of the handle to engage the blades. Even on the slowest (turtle) setting, this mower runs fast. I was able to mow both my front and back yards (just over half an acre) on one battery charge. There seemed to be roughly 20% battery life left when I was done. The battery seems to charge quickly which is nice. This machine makes mowing the lawn easy. It seems to cut the grass evenly.

I've used the mower twice now. The first time was with one battery. Wasn't enough. I have just under 1/2 acre. Obviously, not all lawns are flat and perfect. Maybe in the Great Plains. I'm not sure. The advertising on battery length is confusing. The box it came in says can last up to 1/3 acre. I think the Amazon listing said 1/2 acre. Saw somewhere else only a 1/4 of an acre. You'll need another battery unless you have a tiny lot. I bought a Chinese knock off for half the prize thanks to my friends at Amazon. Seems to be working just fine. I haven't burnt down the garage charging it. That battery obviously isn't built to the same quality at the GreenWorks brand but my review isn't on that. The mower is good. It doesn't cut as wide as I hoped and the RPMs are pretty low compared to gas. With that said it cuts well, and I did not experience any bog down. I'd say it cuts down mow time about 10 to 15 mins. Was it worth the price tag? I don't know yet, but I'm satisfied with it. If you go to a Home Depot or any type of store like that gas is dead. Electric is the new wave. Just jump on and don't make it political. Afterall we are no longer mowing grass like the Amish do. We evolve. I recommend buy.

This mower is advertised to cover 3/4 of an acre on a single charge, but in reality, you're lucky to get even 1/9 of an acre; that’s less than 15% of what’s promised! It constantly stalls on grass due to insufficient power, and the lack of a side-discharge option only makes things worse. While it does include a self-propel feature, using it drains the battery even faster, further limiting performance. You can buy a second battery for $220 or more, but even then, you won’t reach 1/4 of an acre; that is less than 30% of what’s advertised. Unless you have a very small yard, this mower simply isn’t worth it.
