Greenworks 48V (2 x 24V) 20" Brushless Cordless (Push) Lawn Mower (LED Headlight), (2) 4.0Ah Batteries and Dual Port Rapid Charger Included (125+ Compatible Tools)

This review is for "Greenworks 48V (2 x 24V) 20" Brushless Cordless (Push) Lawn Mower (LED Headlight), (2) 4.0Ah Batteries and Dual Port Rapid Charger Included."This is my first battery-powered mower after many years of gas-powered ones. I was very reluctant to make the switch, but wanted to get away from some of the maintenance needs of gas mowers, as well as the need to have gas on hand all the time.The whole concept of a battery mower seemed strange to me. I kept picturing the toy mowers I had as a kid. Would it have enough power? Would it do a good job? Would it last? I can't answer that last question yet, but on the first two I am very pleased.In fact, I'd have to say that this mower did a BETTER job on my lawn than any of the gas-powered ones I've owned, AND it was easier to use. I'm not even sure how that happened, but it did. Here's what I like about the mower:- It's very lightweight compared to a gas mower (though not as light as a toy!)- The one-lever adjustment for all four wheels is super convenient and easy to use- It's really quiet and, of course, easy to start- I had no trouble pushing it up small inclines (this model is not self-propelled)- The height adjustment on the handle allowed me to find a comfortable position, which was not true of my last mower.All of these things bested my gas mower. One other thing I really like with a battery mower is that it's no big deal to stop the mower (maybe there's an obstruction in the path up ahead, maybe you get a text) and then restart it. You just let go of the handle, and then push the button when you're ready to go again. This is not as easy with a gas mower, and I found myself almost never stopping that one until I was done.I have a lot of "wild onion grass" in my yard, which is pretty tall and thick the first cut of the season. This mower did not clog or stop when I got to the thick patches, and handled them like a trouper. Also, my gas mower was self-propelled, and I was concerned whether this push model would be hard to push. It is not. I don't have any hills to cut, just gently-sloping lawn, and I had no trouble pushing it because it is light and has great wheels. In fact, at times I forgot that it wasn't self-propelled. But if you have bigger inclines or are not in the best of health, you may want to consider this option. I didn't find it necessary (let's hope that remains true as I get older!)The only thing that wasn't ideal was battery life. My yard is about a third of an acre, and typically takes a bit over an hour to cut. I didn't time it, but my batteries died when I was about half-way done. As I mentioned, the grass was thicker/higher for this first cut of the season, so I'm sure that used more juice, and I was also getting used to working the mower. But it is clear that I will not get my lawn done on one charge. However, I knew this going in, and this problem is easily solved by buying spare batteries, or just taking a break and doing the lawn in two halves, which I did (I weed-whacked while recharging the batteries).So if you're reluctant to take the plunge from gas to battery, I say go for it. And consider this model (or its self-propelled cousin) due to its great performance and great price. Consumer Reports rates it highly, as do I. I will try to update my review to comment on longevity/any trouble spots once I've used this for a while, but in all honesty, it is so reasonably priced that I could buy one every year and still save money over paying a lawn service, so I'm not too worried about its overall life span.

Update: Aug, 2024This thing just works every time! It needs a new blade now. I had to buy more batteries for it. I now have the two 4 amp-hour batteries that came with it and I bought after that. With those two sets of batteries, I'm good to go! Even if I get negligent and the grass gets real high, I don't run out of battery. I know exactly how much to mow before I change the batteries. I try to leave one bar on the batteries to be kind to them. In many ways, this is much better! Believe it or not, I've found that I can do the lawn with this thing faster than I could with the zero turn riding mower! Not to mention that I can get to a lot more places and save time with the weed-eater. I get enough so often, I won't even bother to weed-eat. Totally happy with it after more than two years!_____________________________________________________________________________________I live right on a highway (US 13), so I have a thin strip that adjoins the neighbor's easement or whatever, for their driveway. On the other side, those neighbors have a fence and there's a real steep strip that's very hard to mow. Then, in the front there's the public property that the Gov never mows because people go EEK! and mow it themselves long before they get around to it. So I don't have much, but it's a challenge in places.I got this thing almost exactly a year ago. I thought I'd give it some time before I wrote a ridiculous review. I was a little hesitant. What encouraged me was all the reviews stating how powerful it is and how it can make it through thick, tall grass. Sure enough! It takes a lot of grass to stall it out! It IS better than many, if not most regular mowers. The only thing I've ever had that beats it, I still have. It's a 36 inch Gravely riding mower with a 16 hp engine! That's a big engine for a 36 inch mower! It's a beast. This mower coming in second to it is not a dis; it's more like a silver medal! Anyway, I have now set that aside and use this mower. I haven't purchased any gas in well over a year. (Hybrid car, All electric car, electric weed eater and a bunch of solar.) I think it actually takes me less time to mow more of it than with the riding mower mowing less of it!!It pretty much rocks! It's a little narrow; it would be better if it were, say, a 28 or 30 inch mower, but then you'd need a much bigger motor and bigger batteries to provide the extra torque that would require. As it is, the 4 amp hour batteries (they're in series when it's mowing; in parallel when charging) just barely make it. So I bought a pair of 5 amp hour batteries. I mow both strips with the neighbors and some small grass areas with the original 4 amp hour batteries and then mow the front (the rest) with the new 5 amp hour batteries. Perfect! All the batteries end up with either one or two bars (out of three) left. I'm very sure this is much kinder to the batteries. They're good batteries, by the way. The both always have the same number of bars left after mowing and at any time during charging. The charger, by the way, is a work of art! Really nice charger! It can charge two batteries at the same time and has separate circuits for each battery. It has a temperature controlled cooling fan in it. The mower has a fuse | disconnect thing between the batteries that can be removed, say, for servicing or whatever. I DO NOT leave the batteries in it! I bring them in to protect them from temperatures they wouldn't like. This thing has been absolutely ZERO maintenance so far! I haven't even cleaned it! I'm VERY happy! I have a 3000 square foot building and a huge driveway that wraps around it or I'd have a quarter acre.Lithium batteries are just EXPENSIVE. Get used to it! Given that, it's not really at all expensive!

Works very well and i have been so excited for this to get here now that it has i instantly put it together and used them and my family is happy too thank you so much! 🥰😍😍😍🙏🏼

I've used this for a season now and have been happy with it. My yard is not too large, it's less that a quarter acre and I can finish the lawn when I start fully charged. The times where it runs out of power are when I haven't mowed in a while and it has to work harder to get through things.I'm not particular, or critical, or how a mower cuts, or I couldn't really tell you the difference. I can get it cut to the height I like and that's what I need.It's heavy to lift, but if you collapse the handle you can roll it easily to where you need it to go and store it vertically.The mower had some damage when it arrived, but it was cosmetic so I didn't fuss about it too much.In all, I really happy not messing with fuel for a gas mower, and this gets the job done!I chose this mower in particular because I wanted the battery compatibility across other tools, so I opted for the dual 24 volt battery approach.

Mower is probably the best item out of it all because the chainsaw keeps on losing tension when cutting so you have to keep tightening the chain and the hedge trimmer keeps losing power, even with a full battery, it also stops cutting if it gets a piece of brush 3/8 of an inch stuck between the blades and it seems like the Weedwhacker barely has power to even cut weeds, so if you want a lawnmower and have an already well maintained Yard then go for it, but don’t buy the rest of it!

Just got it today! Easy set up. Charged the two batteries 2 hours. I Did the whole lawn. Done

Good product.
