My 19-year-old John Deere mower was getting hard to start. I ran across a fantastic deal on the Greenworks Pro 80V 21-inch mower with two 2Ah batteries and charger in the fall of 2017. It cost only $40 more than the lowest price I could find for two batteries, so I figured let's try this mower out. I was excited to try a battery operated mower for instant start (pulling a tight string multiple times to start was getting to be a chore); plus no oil changes, no air filter or spark plug to change, no having to run the gas out at the end of the season and store for winter. I was losing self-propulsion, but I have a flat yard and the Greenworks mower is much, much lighter, so this was of no consequence for me. In fact, I prefer to push the Greenworks mower as I can go at my own speed instead of walking at the slow or even slower speed of the self-propelled mower. The mower has worked great, and I'm into my fourth season mowing with it. In fact, I liked it so much I also bought a Greenworks 80V trimmer, blower, hedge trimmer, and snowblower and interchange the batteries for all of them. I sold my gas trimmer and blower, and my snowblower had died, so that need replacing anyway. I've had no problems with the tools. One of the battery chargers died a few months into ownership, and Greenworks replaced it under warranty at no cost to me. This year I could start to see some blades of grass remaining standing after mowing, so I decided it was time to get a new blade (the old blade has a number of nicks from rocks and such). I ordered a replacement blade direct from GreenWorks during a Memorial Day sale, and they shipped next day. The blade was a very simple replacement -- just use a wrench to remove the large bolt, then remove and replace the blade in the same orientation and twist the bolt back on. I didn't need directions nor had to watch YouTube videos, even though this was the first time I ever replaced a blade myself (with my old mower I always just paid someone to sharpen it, the new Greenworks blade cost the same as two sharpenings, so I just decided to get a new blade.) Now my grass is cutting perfectly again. Also, I noticed one reviewer thought the mower was difficult to put together. That person must be mechanically deficient, as attaching the handle isn't difficult at all. All my neighbors have asked about my mower, because it operates at a much lower decibel level than gas mowers. When I bought the blade I also purchased a 4Ah battery, and now I can mow my yard in one charge (with the two 2Ah batteries I had to switch out the batteries mid way). It takes about 50 minutes to mow my yard. This being my 4th year of ownership, and using the batteries year round for yard and snow removal, I am seeing shorter battery life with my four 2Ah batteries. Maybe about 20 minutes of runtime vs. the 30 I used to get. Which is why I invested in the 4Ah battery, which is perfect for my mower. I'm using the 2Ah batteries in my other hand-held yard tools as it is better to have the smaller, lighter battery for those. The 4Ah is a little large in the blower but still works OK, but I don't need to run the blower for maybe 15 minutes tops, so I use the 2Ah so I don't have to deal with the weight. I wouldn't want to try the 4Ah battery in the trimmer or hedge trimmer either as the weight would make it more difficult to use those tools. I highly recommend going with Greenworks 80v battery equipment. I absolutely love the Greenworks tools I am using. I find them to be equally as effective as gas tools, just without the noise and gas fumes. (You don't smell like gas and oil after using your trimmer/blower.) You don't have the maintenance on Greenworks either like you do on gas-powered equipment. If you make a list of pros and cons, the pro list will most certainly outweigh the cons by a large margin.

80Volt with two 2.0Ah batteries. Im impressed with the performance for an electric mower, or for any mower for that matter. I got it as a back-up for my aging gas mower and for my daughter to share on her lawn. We have each about a 1/5 acre lawn. Handled 8+ inch lawn without much problem. My daughters lawn is very heavy in the back. The grass bag is a little smaller than I'm used to, but not by much. Was able to do the lawns with about 1 and a third battery to 1 and a half battery charge for each lawn. The battery does run down faster in heavy grass, but still performs well in heavier grass. I could push pretty steadily until the bag filled up. Amazon ad said about 30 minutes per mowing time per battery, but the product says about 20 minutes per battery on the box. It has a fast charger so one can charge in about 30 minutes so this is not a problem. I think a 80V 4.0Ah battery is available. Pros - Seems pretty well built, but light, so I'll need to check durability. - The starting is easy, and the motor stop bar behaves like most gas mower stop bars (when you release the handle) - 21 inch wide is pretty close to a lot of gas push mowers. - Greenworks has other products that use this battery size. Cons - The only con I'm concerned about is the highest grass setting isn't that high. Not a problem for me as it's higher than I usually mow.

Great product easy to assemble. Works great and mulchers well.

Note: At the moment Amazon is not currently directly selling the model (Greenworks Pro 80V 21 inch Cordless Push Lawn Mower, 2 2Ah Batteries and Charger, GLM801601) I'm reviewing. At the time of this review we've mowed our yard ten times since receiving one of these electric mowers. I like this lawnmower system enough to recommend it, despite some caveats. It does what the advertising says. The batteries last, as long as you don't mow a lot of thick grass quickly. I can mow my whole yard on one battery charge, rendering moot the ability to continue mowing with a second battery while the depleted first battery is recharging. What the advertising doesn't say is that, while it is as powerful as a 160-cc gas mower, that only applies when the electric mower is running at full power. My 149-cc gas mower can easily vacuum up leaves from the lawn at the normal height setting, but that only happens with this mower if the engine revs up, and that is not a manual setting. The motor will automatically speed up in dense grass, a nice feature, but it would also be nice to choose that higher speed to use it to pick up leaves as we did with the gas mower in the fall. I would willingly sacrifice battery life for this ability. Otherwise it cuts grass reasonably well, as well or better than the gas mower. One really nice feature is the large-capacity rear grass-catcher bag. It holds about twice as much as the gas mower's bag, and it is better designed to keep the clippings inside the bag; the gas mower's bag is tilted toward the front which causes the clippings to slide forward and block the opening as one mows. This bag has a horizontal bottom that helps retain the clippings and the opening won't be blocked until the bag is truly full. And you can lift the lid at the front of the bag to examine how much is in the bag without having to remove the bag from the mower. (On the gas mower, checking the bag by lifting the lid would allow clippings to fall out, defeating the purpose of checking. It was possible to lift the front end of the mower to prevent the loss of clippings when lifting the lid, but -- trust me -- this is awkward.) Because of the larger practical bag capacity, I no longer have to stop a couple of times to empty the bag while mowing the front yard and then repeat that in the back yard, as I did with the gas mower. This also means I don't have to drag the 40-gallon trash can for the clippings to the front yard and then back to the back yard. I've gone from emptying the bag six times to two when mowing the whole yard. It's not all positives here, though. The low position of the bag means that the rear end drags on the ground when you lift the front end to rotate the mower to reposition it for mowing another row. This quickly wears the fabric on the lower back seam. I've put duct tape there for now, but a good hard-plastic sealant strip along that seam would go a long way to extending the life of the bag. And the bag capacity can mean more effort needed to empty a full bag. If you have trouble with this, you might want to consider checking the contents of the bag (the lid makes this easy) as you go, and empty it sooner. And finally, I have to check to make sure the bag lid has fully seated before resuming mowing. One of the lid's two plastic notches has a tendency to just catch the bag frame's metal rod on one edge, so it needs a little tug to the left to fully seat properly. I didn't test the mulching capability, but I did like the large plastic plug that fills the opening at the mower back, very likely making the mulching feature much more efficient. Nor did I use the side discharge chute. The side door does trap clippings when closed, though; it does not quite fit flush with the chassis side opening. It's much quieter than the gas mower in operation. Even the wheels are quieter, perhaps because they have bearings. A very good feature is the all-wheel height adjustment lever, which can be moved on the fly. This feature does extend the front of the mower a bit, so it's harder to mow close to a wall in front of you because the blade won't reach as far. That just means a little more edge-trimming. The charger is very fast! And it has a loud fan. Also, the charger didn't have any noticeable odor; it might have been burned in longer than those used by other reviewers. Since we are keeping the batteries indoors to help extend their lifespans, we're trying to figure out a place to put the charger that won't disturb those in the house. But it does indeed charge the 2Ah batteries in less than half an hour. The mower is easily maneuvered but it is not light. I wasn't using the self-propelled feature of my gas mower, but it turns out that my wife did, and now, knowing what I know, I would have gone with the slower-charging single-battery self-propelled mower version over this one. I might still do that, after some time has passed. Edit: If there is one; the model is not listed at the moment... As mentioned, I recommend this electric mower. It doesn't smell of gasoline, there is no gas ($) to put into it, no oil to change ($), and no trips to the gas station to fill a gas canister ($) and then pour in a fuel additive ($) to compensate for the ethanol in the gas. When this is combined with the higher-capacity bag, I'm now finished mowing in half the time. Maybe Greenworks will see this review and make some changes, so that the next model will get five stars. But this unit is still very good at what it does.

Been converting as much stuff as I can to electric due to it being more environmentally friendly, and convenience of being able to charge batteries off solar or any other source. Already have other Greenworks 80v tools (chainsaw and electric shovel) so I now have 4 batteries. Only used the mower twice but I have to say I'm impressed so far. It's powerful and feels like using a gas mower, even tried it while it was raining in very wet grass and it went through without issues. The battery life is not quite as good as they advertise but I presume that's based on only mildly tall dry grass. It rains a lot here so even on a good day the grass is going to be humid from all the rain we had before. Either way, it takes 2 minutes to swap the battery so battery life on stuff like this is really not that huge of a deal as long as you have 2 or more batteries you're always going to have power. It's faster than adding gas.

I've been using this since last summer and the mower seems to hold up well in light or thick grass to cut easily. The battery life estimate (30mins per battery) is very close to advertised. I don't have a large yard and my yard takes maybe 45-50mins to mow. I go through 1 battery for 70% of my lawn then finish up with the last battery with plenty of life left in it. The blade on the mower seems to hold it's edge and I've mowed the lawn no different than with a gas mower and it's been seamless. Highly would recommend if you want to go electric and don't have a massive yard.

Cette tondeuse sert à tondre ma pelouse sur mon terrain d’une assez grande superficie. Je l’adore. Elle est silencieuse, facile à partir et à pousser. Ses deux batteries de 80 volts sont suffisantes pour la tonte que j’ai à exécuter. De façon générale, j’utilise l’énergie d’une batterie et demie à chaque utilisation. La hauteur des roues est très facile à ajuster. La seule amélioration à apporter à ce produit serait que l’extérieur des roues soient en lignées avec le bout de la lame pour une tonte plus rapprochée des surfaces verticales tels les abords des bâtiments.

Light weight and easy to use. I can mow both my front and back yard on less than a single charge of the battery. The storage of this lawn mower with its folding capabilities is ideal for my single garage. I feel good about my lowered carbon footprint, as compared to my old gas mower, and the neighbourhood can sleep in on a Saturday- even when I mow at 9:00 a.m. because this mower is so quiet.

A battery lasts about 20 minutes and takes 30 minutes to charge so I though I’d get a third one when I realised they sell for freaking 200$. i guess I’ll take 10 minutes breaks in between my charges…lawnmowner runs great and smooth tough!
