Greenworks 60V 21 in Self-Propelled Lawn Mower, (2) 4.0 Ah Battery Kit

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!).

This is my first time purchasing a battery-powered lawnmower, and I felt skeptical and unsure about whether I was actually making a good purchase or if I was investing my money wisely. It wasn't easy to make up my mind, but after watching so many reviews of different mowers, I finally decided on this brand; Greenworks has truly surprised me with the quality of their product. My new Greenworks 60V 21" self-propelled cordless lawnmower is huge! At first VIEW—right out of the box—I was impressed by its size. Its design is beautiful, and the quality of its frame and construction is worth every dollar I spent on it. The dual charger is impressive in size and delivers excellent charging times, bringing each battery to 100% very quickly. charging each battery on 30 or 40 min. And don't even get me started on the 40V batteries—they offer exceptional performance. I have no idea of ​​the exact dimensions of my backyard, but it is large, and a single battery was enough to mow the entire thing. The second battery helped me finish the front yard, and I still had enough charge left over to mow it all over again! 😁 The batteries are the icing on the cake because they are fantastic. You really don't need to spend a fortune on more powerful batteries—like 80V or higher—for a standard-sized property... unless, of course, you happen to own a massive mansion. I believe the 40V batteries are more than sufficient. And here’s something even better: the noise it generates is almost non-existent compared to gas-powered mowers. My new 60V lawnmower is undeniably quiet. Speaking of noise, the dual charger uses a fan to cool the batteries and help extend their lifespan—which makes the charger itself a bit noisy. It’s nothing crazy or unbearable, though; I just recommend that you don't keep it in your living room or bedroom, otherwise you won't be able to hear the TV! 😆All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase. Thank you, Greenworks, for producing products of such high quality. I definitely recommend this 60V self-propelled lawnmower! 👍

This is a hard review because while the unit is very nice. It’s just too heavy. The pros are no gas or oil to mess with, it’s so easy to start, literally you do nothing but press a button. The bag is easy to put on and remove. Having said all that there is just one thing that I could get past, it’s heavy! I mean really heavy. The unit and the batteries make it hard to maneuver around edges and turns. I also thought I’d wait an electric mower but now I know that gas is for me. I gave 4 stars because this is kind of just a preference rather than a true con, but I’m 67 and at this part of the game heavy just won’t do.

Just received mine this week and was pleasantly surprised. Nice cut, easy height adjustment (just one lever that moves easily) and variable walking speed that’s easy to adjust. Battery life as promised is about 50-60 minutes. Wish I had bought this years ago. Very pleased.

This is hands down the best value for the money. #1. Powerful. This 60v lawnmower is way more powerful than my 5.50 hp gas lawnmower it replaced. Tall grass even wet grass no problem. If the grass is really thick just hit the turbo button and it goes right through. #2. The two batteries last just about the same time one tank of gas lasted on my gas powered lawnmower. I actually think with the batteries I can cut about 15% more than my gas lawnmower. #3. No gas fumes. This is huge because the funds are the biggest issue with gas mowers. If you have a lot of grass to cut you are breathing pretty heavy throughout and you don't really want to be sucking in exhaust fumes. This one thing alone is worth switching from gas. This will add years to your life. #4. This is built better than my gas mower was. Thicker gauge steel. High quality overall. I think it's slightly heavier than my gas mower was but not enough to be a problem. You have self propel if you need it but I never use it. #5. No noise. Again can't say that for gas. #6. The lights in the front are a nice touch if you are cutting right before dark. My gas mowers never had this. Hands down the best value for a lawn mower and lawn tools in general. So many benefits that you just can't go wrong. As you can see in the pictures this mower gets a lot of use. It's been about a year so far and no issues at all. I also have a green works weed trimmer and that thing is amazing. Will be doing a review on that also.

I had a very frustrating experience with this mower. The main issue is the dual battery system does not work properly. After one battery is used, the mower stops completely and will not restart using the second battery, even when both batteries are fully charged. Reinserting the safety key and restarting does not help. This makes the product unreliable and essentially unusable. This does not appear to be normal behavior, and I also found similar complaints from other users, which suggests it may be a design or quality issue. On top of that, the return process was extremely frustrating. The system kept redirecting me in a loop and would not allow me to complete the return. I was repeatedly told to contact customer service, but could not reach a real person. Overall, very disappointing for a product at this price point. I would not recommend this mower.

OMG, I love this thing. First, Read the Directions and look at the pictures on the startup page so that you know which handles to use. As an older female, it's the best lawnmower I could have bought. We have a small yard but I have already used it 3 times. It took me a couple of minutes to learn how it worked. This mower has 4 handles, 2 on the left and 2 on the right so that you can use either hand, you don't need to use both. You only have to press the handles on one side not both for the mower to move and to mow. Very easy. We ordered the 60 volt self propelled 21" and it goes very fast even on "turtle mode", which is all that I have used so far. The fast charger that came with it charges both batteries or one at a time, and the lawnmower uses 1 at a time, so you can put one battery or 2 in the mower and it will use one and then switch over to the other if you put them both in. It's very quiet but not silent. It folds up very easily so that you can stand it on end, however it is heavy. It has a couple of handle settings depending on your height for mowing. The bottom cleans off fairly easy if it's grass. The first time I mowed it had sand and dirt caked on the bottom and it did not come off with a soft cloth like the directions indicated, so I waited until the next day when I mowed the back lawn which was high and was a little wet. When I went to clean it, I used a rubber spatula and it cleaned up perfectly, even the dried on sand/dirt and the wet grass fell right off. The one thing that you might keep in mind is that it's very powerful and fast. If you have a small yard or if you are a smaller person you might want to try the 16" mower which is probably lighter. I just want to say that after using many old, heavy gas mowers, both push and self propelled, this is electric mower is amazing. No straining to pull a cord to start, just push a button. No gas, no oil, no carburetor. FYI, I ordered online from Amazon and it was on sale with free shipping so you might want to watch for that or on their website. Good luck

If you have arthritis, like this 80 year old female, a little help would be great putting it together. It runs great and did front and back yards on less than both batteries. I found the batteries difficult to remove from their housing but others in the household did not. They charge quickly and yhe machine is easy to maneuver. We have only had it a short time - one cut each front and back yards - but are pleased with its performance.
