You were the FIRST video review of a batter powered mower (even Consumer Reports) to finally CUT TALL GRASS. Which is my worry as I transition from gas to battery. I don't know how you can review a battery powered mower and NOT CUT rather tall grass so thank you.....this finally answered my questions about Greenworks as I contemplate 40v vs 80v battery mower
An added benefit the electric mowers that fold up and stand vertically for storage is that the blade is fully accessible for sharpening. It is not necessary to remove the blade from the mower. I use a Dremel with the sharpening accessory. It takes about five minutes.
I was just given one of these, that’s why I’m here. I’ve been using a old Worx electric lawnmower in the back dog yard for 10 years after replacing the lead acid batteries once. I’m thinking of replacing it with this one if I like it. Thanks
All of my outdoor hand tools are corded -- and even if I cut the cords occasionally, and I do, I still vastly prefer them. Used to own (for 12 yrs.!) a Black and Decker 18" mower, corded -- and LOVED it. It ate small tree roots, rocks, bricks, and heavy grass like a Cookie-Monster goes through chocolate chippers. It finally burned out (wires melted), and I tried to rebuild it twice -- I liked it that much. Ran over wires, yes (several times -- wire nuts and electrician's black tape got it going again); used a 50' extension cord and 120v 15 amp power, and LOVED it. I would buy more of those if I could find any new. The Greenworks 20'' mower my wife purchased when the B&D died cuts fine (stalls in heavy wet grass, but that's okay) -- BUT the batteries are good on average for maybe 20-30 minutes each (4 hr. type) and 15-20 (2 hr. type) in very DRY grass in my suburban yard; I have two 4 hr. ones and one 2 hr. (came with the mower), and often cannot even finish my FRONT yard, which is not that big. It takes two or even three days to do both front and back -- when with the Black and Decker, it used to take 3 1/2 hrs. overall in one day. I HATE these batteries and will not purchase more. When it goes, I will find a corded model again, if I have to make one myself.
Love your unboxing technique. I've used only Black and Decker battery powered garden tools for seven years. I'm never going back to gas or AC powered devices. Good review. I have Lawn mower Edger Hedge trimmer Leaf blower / vacuum 6" lopper 10" Pole saw They all work great. I have a corded leaf blower for heavy accumulations of Fall leaves. My 36V lawn mower battery is 7 years old and still going strong. When it dies I'll take a look at the green machine.
Yeah, I really like mine, it also works well in wet grass. I’ve got three batteries for it now so maybe I can cut the whole lawn in two days, here in Michigan.😢
The place whose lawn I mow just got a mower like that. I couldn't figure out to start it - the instruction manual is TERRIBLE. This video has helped me some. Now how do you turn it off?
This is a really compelling product to me. In terms of actually run time how long does it last? How long does it take to recharge the battery? My yard is very large, so I'm hesitant to buy a electric mower but this one seems promising.
If you have a large yard I bet two batteries should cover it. Id say it takes me 30-45 minutes to mow my lawn and as you saw it was only half way down. And the grass was really tall because I wanted to push the mower. I think the battery takes about 3 or 4 hours to recharge. If you're not in a hurry to buy it you might add it to your cart and watch it till the end of the Summer. Lawnmowers usually go on sale at the end of the summer on Amazon.
the recharge time on the batteries is quick enough that you can swap them out as you go. (I have a lowes 80v Kobalt). by the time you wear out battery 2, battery 1 is recharged. if you buy other tools, I have a trimmer and a saw, you end up with alot of batteries (I have 5) so power is never an issue
it really varied based on lawn length and sharpness of blade. if the lawn has not been cut in 2 weeks then you will get a lot less time. with these battery powered mowers that mulch, it is extremely important to cut every week and keep blade sharp. wet grass and leaves also make a difference. in my opinion after having a greenworks for 2 years they are only worth it for small lawn you cut every 7 days. why? because i also have the cheapest mower you can buy the weedeater from walmart. it has started 1st or second pull for over 10 years cost half as much as a battery powered mower i have only changed the oil once and added oil maybe 4 times. it does not mulch but can easily handle grass that has not been cut in more than 2 weeks with a dull blade. not as quiet not quite as light but a wider deck. only maintenance is to run it til its empty before you store it for the winter and add oil when low.
If the space where you store your mower gets below freezing during the winter you'll want to bring the mower inside your house. The electronics of the motor control board have poor resistance to freeze-thaw cycling .
The link you provided shows a 13" mower. They may have changed the link? Greenworks 24V 13 inch Lawn Mower, 4Ah USB Battery and Charger Included MO24B410
I bought my 1st lawnmower when cordless mowers had just come out and we didn’t really want gas stored in our garage… 1st time homeowner at the time. Same home, 12 years later, I’ve gone through at least 3 if not 4 Cordless lawnmowers, meanwhile people are walking around with the same gas lawnmower. The problem is you can only get 2-4 years out of the batter and then when that goes, you also need to replace the blades, starter etc. So how much does that all cost? More than a new mower. The best one I had is my current one, it’s got a 40V 5A battery but that is $150 USD to replace. My grass is very dense and I have a very steep hill, so I’m going with a self-propelled gas mower this time, if you maintain them properly you can get 15 years out of them, not 2-4.Yeah you will need to buy the gas and possible repairs other maintenance, but it’s worth it. I used Self-propelled Toro gas mowers when I worked in landscaping, we would get used or refurbished ones and they would get through the toughest jobs, had to have a 20 Gallon can with us if we had a full day ahead of us but they could go all day. Also, cordless are not used commercially, they would require multiple batteries and would likely overheat. Now you can get a Briggs or Honda engine, you would have thought we would have gone away from gas engines by now, nope, if you want something to last you’ve got a get the gas...
I just purchased this mower and maybe I have a defective one but it shut down repeatedly (5 times) when I was cutting grass that was less than 2 inches. Any suggestions?
I like gas cars because of the range, gas mowers because of the speed, gas snowblowers because electric ones can't work in deep snow (which comes often in Minnesota) but electric chainsaws because of their ease of use. But I'm not sure about electric side by sides.
This was a nice summary video of this mower. I’ve seen several but it’s the first one I’ve watched on the Greenworks specifically. I’ll be comparing everything I wife’s iPhone to this one. Nice drone shots and follow shots! I have about a 6000 square-foot yard so I probably will need an extra battery; what was the runtime you got on this battery? I’m in Wisconsin.
I have one and somehow I ended up making a lawn care business. This was by Accident as well. Just beacause I was doing my Mother in laws house then she told a friend so now am mowering her yard. inshallah I can make a nice buessness out of this. Quit my second job and just do this as that as my second job.
Issues with this mower: Batteries do not last, 5AH will run for about 20-25 min and are expensive The underside gets clogged with grass more so than the other mowers I used. Try a different brand perhaps...
I bought one in the first year with 2 batteries it worked great second year now it seems like I need a third because the batteries don't last that long they did the first year i stored to batteries in doors I wonder if you're running into the same problem as I?
I have the 4Ah batteries and they seem about the same life as at first. I got the second battery for $80 on an amazon sale. I got it because I have the leaf blower, chainsaw and weed eater too. Maybe get the bigger size.
@Michael Bowman -- Its a manicured urban lot. No snakes. Sticks yes. Mower mulches 'em into dust. Haven't had to go to ER yet. I think you would be surprised. You can see the cut rows BETTER at night with the headlights beaming across the grass.
You can leave it in there. I usually don't. I have left it there for 2 weeks before though. It shuts off when its done charging. Also I left the battery charged and after all winter it still had 2 bars left so the battery doesn't drain that fast.
I have a Lawn mower 80 V I bought at Costco... works ! Except the batteries the left battery works the right battery will not... states that it is charged, the round signal is dark. If I put the battery in the charger it will not charge or at least show completed... when I mow the yard the left battery works and when that is exhausted you would think the right battery would take over... NO! Greenworks Customer service is horrible does not work either number. So I will need to return item to Costco.
Id say it takes me 30-45 minutes to mow my lawn and as you saw it was only half way down so you probably get a hour to hour and half run time. And the grass was really tall because I wanted to push the mower. Yeah I throw in on the charger after each mowing. Same with the Ryobi weed eater then its ready go go anytime.
The hour plus long single charged run time is very good. Keeping the mower and the Ryobi on the changer day after days ready for the next use is a bit risky, isn't it? There are so many Lipo battery accidents during charging.
Yes I worry about leaving it on the charger too. I take it off the next day or that day if possible. I just put it right on the charger right after use so I don't forget. I did check the battery and charger after the charging light was off and nothing was warm so I think it shuts off the charging is done.
WIth lithium batteries its better to keep them topped off rather than drain them all the way. They will last a lot longer. You also want to store them at less than 85 degrees, so dont leave the battery in your mower in the garage.
@@edgerramirez6782 If your "lawn" isn't at least knee high, you likely have some damn golf course type of lawn and are clearly too rich to be mowing your own grass to begin with. Normal people don't have cute little flat lawns like this reviewer has.
I used it for 20 minutes and it stopped. Dead. Nothing.. the battery pack won't give me a reading. I let it cool off... Maybe it overheated? So I charged the battery again... Again.. I. Mowed for 20 minutes... And dead. It doesn't last very long. Battery sucks.
I got this as a gift for birthday. Since getting it, I agree it is easier to use than the gas mower, if only way less powerful. Can only do the most easy part of my yard with it. Well after about 9 or 10 charges to that 5ah battery that was included with it, it no longer charges. Complete and total waste of money because going online now, there are thousands of people who have the same problems with these horrifically defective products. STAY AWAY. I feel bad that this 400$ gift is now going to the landfill after it couldn't even make it through half a year. Yeah i'll stick with my heavier but reliable gas mower which has been going strong for 14 straight years now with nothing but the occasional carb job in the springtime. So much for being cleaner for the environment when you are filling up our landfills with your defective Li-on batteries that don't even work a dozen times before they are waste. Could you imagine an electrically powered car that you could only charge up 10 times before it was dead and you had to purchase a new one?
SOUND FAIL? Why play some dude doing beat box? I wanna 'hear' the mower; how silent it is compared to a gas mower. Please REMOVE the beat box; totally un-needed.
This guy is definitely not a techie. One thing about ALL rechargeable battery powered equipment. Battery pack lifespan and runtime per charge preservation DEMANDS as close to nominal full discharge as possible with every charge /discharge cycle. With yard equipment, the energy demand for each task is as variable as the weather, among other factors. Therefor, having a spare battery pack to swap out at nominal full discharge is EVERY BIT as important as having a gas can for a gas mower etc. I would never think of buying a cordless electric mower with only one battery pack. It's pure folly! It also makes a great argument for equipping oneself with an array of same battery system equipment, in this case such as this G-Max (their trademark for their 40 volt system) mower, a G-max string trimmer, hedge trimmer etc.to stretch the usefulness of multiple same system battery packs / chargers. ( My 35 year career as an in hospital biomedical engineering technician involving extensive work on a wide array of rechargeable battery powered medical devices, charging circuits and battery chemistries informed the above statements)
been using a neuton for 15 years or so, heavy battery but the mower itself is super light. battery life is good for very small lawns only, I'm excited to try the new battery tech. this mower will probably be perfect for me. also i haven't had gas in my house for 15 years, and that's great. no oil, no fumes, no exhaust, the noise is pretty much on a par with a fan as he says in the video. nice to see the big companies finally selling electric mowers.
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
My mower runs but now its not cutting the grass, blade is brand new, used it 4 times last summer and it has been garaged all winter. Its brand new and was running just fine before I stored it. I adjusted the height, no change.Greenworks customer service has taken a dive. They were not helpful, it seems like no one is knowlegable when it comes to "my mower runs fine but will not cut the grass". I would suggest to move on from Greenworks, very poor customer service.
So glad I could help. Keep it in your cart at the end of the summer to monitor the price, Amazon usually discounted mowers a lot at the end of the mowing season.
It was a great mower until it quit working. Mine worked fine for a few months, now when I use it, it runs for a few seconds and then just stops. Turn it on again, runs a few seconds and stops. It is not a battery issue, does same on both fairly new fully charged batteries. Any ideas. I have not been able to get thru on the customer service line yet.
Thinking about getting greenworks, would i have to get an extra battery? The back lawn and front can get thick. I have a ryobi and have it for years but as much as i like it but pain when i have to mow grass when its high up. Sometimes using 3-4 batteries to mow.
Good review. I'm buying a used one tomorrow for $100 and this helps me with my decision. One other good thing I can see about doing away with gas mowers is you don't have to worry about pulling your arm out of socket trying to start one after every winter. One other caveat about the cordless varieties though, is you really want to keep at least the battery (and charger imo) inside in airconditioned temperatures. Extreme heat and cold will play havoc on rechargable batteries so having a place for permanent storage in the house or garage is a must imo. Also many cordless tools will want to be kept inside as well as the oils in them can be finicky to extreme temp ranges. If I might also suggest, I believe it's better to mow first, then weed eat. For one, the wed eater is there to just get whatever the mower can't reach, and for two, mowing first will keep your ankles out of the tall grass when it's time to weed eat. Thanks again for the review :)
One thought for you up northers - when you put a gas mower away for the winter, you often have to take it to a lawn mower shop to get it running again in spring - if you're not a mechanic. And unless you get the really big boy, gas mowers tend to choke in tall grass.
I bought a certified 22" push mower and its amazing. has a powerful 175cc motor that cuts through grass like nothing. Its the most powerful gas mower ive used so far and its surprisingly light. I have a landscaping buisness i use gas but for my home i use the cordless
Never! Drain all of the gas including the carburetor and the mower will quickly start in the spring with fresh gas. Many gas mowers have a drain bolt near the bottom of the float bowl for this. If no such bolt, then loosen the hex head bolt that holds the float bowl to the carb. Gas gets old so use new gas.
How’s the mower doing now? My gas one just went dead and I’m considering electric. My yard takes an hour to mow. Would one battery last that long? Thanks.
You were the FIRST video review of a batter powered mower (even Consumer Reports) to finally CUT TALL GRASS. Which is my worry as I transition from gas to battery. I don't know how you can review a battery powered mower and NOT CUT rather tall grass so thank you.....this finally answered my questions about Greenworks as I contemplate 40v vs 80v battery mower
Probably the best lawnmower review tbh he covered pretty much everything and showed the capabilities of the lawnmower.
An added benefit the electric mowers that fold up and stand vertically for storage is that the blade is fully accessible for sharpening. It is not necessary to remove the blade from the mower. I use a Dremel with the sharpening accessory. It takes about five minutes.
I was just given one of these, that’s why I’m here. I’ve been using a old Worx electric lawnmower in the back dog yard for 10 years after replacing the lead acid batteries once. I’m thinking of replacing it with this one if I like it. Thanks
I just picked one up on Amazon. I already had the trimmer and for $40 more on Amazon you get a extra battery and a blower which is a steal!
All of my outdoor hand tools are corded -- and even if I cut the cords occasionally, and I do, I still vastly prefer them. Used to own (for 12 yrs.!) a Black and Decker 18" mower, corded -- and LOVED it. It ate small tree roots, rocks, bricks, and heavy grass like a Cookie-Monster goes through chocolate chippers. It finally burned out (wires melted), and I tried to rebuild it twice -- I liked it that much. Ran over wires, yes (several times -- wire nuts and electrician's black tape got it going again); used a 50' extension cord and 120v 15 amp power, and LOVED it. I would buy more of those if I could find any new. The Greenworks 20'' mower my wife purchased when the B&D died cuts fine (stalls in heavy wet grass, but that's okay) -- BUT the batteries are good on average for maybe 20-30 minutes each (4 hr. type) and 15-20 (2 hr. type) in very DRY grass in my suburban yard; I have two 4 hr. ones and one 2 hr. (came with the mower), and often cannot even finish my FRONT yard, which is not that big. It takes two or even three days to do both front and back -- when with the Black and Decker, it used to take 3 1/2 hrs. overall in one day. I HATE these batteries and will not purchase more. When it goes, I will find a corded model again, if I have to make one myself.
Perfect video! All I needed was to get it started (I as doing it backwards, no results). Loved the "quick unboxing" 😂🤣🤣🤣👍
Love your unboxing technique.
I've used only Black and Decker battery powered garden tools for seven years. I'm never going back to gas or AC powered devices.
Good review.
I have
Lawn mower
Edger
Hedge trimmer
Leaf blower / vacuum
6" lopper
10" Pole saw
They all work great. I have a corded leaf blower for heavy accumulations of Fall leaves.
My 36V lawn mower battery is 7 years old and still going strong. When it dies I'll take a look at the green machine.
Used gas my whole life but i dont like breathing in all the fumes. Ill get electric in the future
The future is now!
Thanks so much! Answered my every question! Ordering right now!
I hate mine.. it did 1/4 of my lawn this 1st spring mowing and the battery died. Now, I cannot get the battery.
Great review! Picked one up this weekend. Anxious to see if I can get through my yard on One battery.
Did it?
Yeah, I really like mine, it also works well in wet grass. I’ve got three batteries for it now so maybe I can cut the whole lawn in two days, here in Michigan.😢
Thanks bud I am going to purchase this mower over the winter for next Spring.
Yesterday I saw two of these at a Goodwill store. There must be a message in that. Color me wary!
I need this in my life
Thanks for sharing this info. Now I know exactly which lawn mower to get. Great video👍🏾
Aweaome AWESOME review! Im totally going to purchase this mower. Great job!!
I have a push mower and I’m tired of getting stuck, because of the sticks. I need these
You still have to pick up sticks before you cut your grass.
The place whose lawn I mow just got a mower like that. I couldn't figure out to start it - the instruction manual is TERRIBLE. This video has helped me some. Now how do you turn it off?
These are getting worth a look.
How quiet is it? My gas lawn mower practically blows my eardrums out. Edit: nevermind you answered my question.
This is a really compelling product to me. In terms of actually run time how long does it last? How long does it take to recharge the battery? My yard is very large, so I'm hesitant to buy a electric mower but this one seems promising.

I laugh how they all still have a "motor" on top. They are mostly empty underneath. I love mine. won't ever go back to gas.
Just bought one and the weed-eater that uses same battery (I bought 2 x 4Ah)
That music is hilarious
This is the perfect review
If the space where you store your mower gets below freezing during the winter you'll want to bring the mower inside your house. The electronics of the motor control board have poor resistance to freeze-thaw cycling .
The link you provided shows a 13" mower. They may have changed the link?
Greenworks 24V 13 inch Lawn Mower, 4Ah USB Battery and Charger Included MO24B410
After 4 years, is it still doing well, or how long did it last? What are your thoughts about it now?
I bought my 1st lawnmower when cordless mowers had just come out and we didn’t really want gas stored in our garage… 1st time homeowner at the time. Same home, 12 years later, I’ve gone through at least 3 if not 4 Cordless lawnmowers, meanwhile people are walking around with the same gas lawnmower.

nice mower, but I'm partial to the Ego self propelled. Just glad you decided to go battery, I will never go back to gas.
I wish my neighbor had that. He mows late at night.
Police Wife Life LOL maybe you should send him this video.
Honestly you should throw your feces at him.
Police Wife Life call the police
Im going to invent an electric dog doo clean up launcher and review it. Maybe you can use it when he mows next time.
@k lol
Cool edits 😎
Weedeater is a brand name.
Pro landscapers use the term WEED WACKING.
!
His is pretty cool. Wish I would have bought that ryoubi weed trimmer. Mine sucks.
I just purchased this mower and maybe I have a defective one but it shut down repeatedly (5 times) when I was cutting grass that was less than 2 inches. Any suggestions?
I went battery powered 5 years ago, never will go back to gas. Just sharpen the blades and replace the battery every 5 years, easy.
Im now a believer,. The quietness alone is so nice to have.
Richard smith Kool man .thanks for the advice .
I don't like batteries. Much prefer corded. A cord never goes dead or wears out. Maybe I will pick myself up a corded one when my gas one gives out.
I like gas cars because of the range, gas mowers because of the speed, gas snowblowers because electric ones can't work in deep snow (which comes often in Minnesota) but electric chainsaws because of their ease of use.
But I'm not sure about electric side by sides.
This was a nice summary video of this mower. I’ve seen several but it’s the first one I’ve watched on the Greenworks specifically. I’ll be comparing everything I wife’s iPhone to this one. Nice drone shots and follow shots! I have about a 6000 square-foot yard so I probably will need an extra battery; what was the runtime you got on this battery? I’m in Wisconsin.
Great video thinking about getting this how is it working for you still? And I also heard that the battery is a little hard to get out
Great information!
First of all,i need a lawn
I was like you... unitl januray.... Now I have a lawn to take care of.
I have one and somehow I ended up making a lawn care business. This was by Accident as well. Just beacause I was doing my Mother in laws house then she told a friend so now am mowering her yard. inshallah I can make a nice buessness out of this. Quit my second job and just do this as that as my second job.
Issues with this mower: Batteries do not last, 5AH will run for about 20-25 min and are expensive The underside gets clogged with grass more so than the other mowers I used. Try a different brand perhaps...
Does it come with a warrenty
How does one clean the Greenworks chordless lawn mower. All Lawn mowers need cleaning and spayed off once in awhile.
I've sprayed it off several times. Its no problem. I just don't sprat much on the battery compartment. I've had no problems with the water.
Is there a difference between with usb and without usb?
Can you calculate the area of lawn that can be mowed with a single charge?
4:20
Stinkie it is indeed. YAAY for electric technology!!
and its just $400 for this machine !!! can U believe it?? i was thinking it would be $1500 or so
I'm a Motorhead so I like the smell lol. But aren't gas mowers in the $500-700 range too?
I bought one in the first year with 2 batteries it worked great second year now it seems like I need a third because the batteries don't last that long they did the first year i stored to batteries in doors I wonder if you're running into the same problem as I?
I have the 4Ah batteries and they seem about the same life as at first. I got the second battery for $80 on an amazon sale. I got it because I have the leaf blower, chainsaw and weed eater too. Maybe get the bigger size.
Thnx man I was thinking about picking one up, this helped alot!
Thanks for the beat box . Oh the mower video too .
No headlights? I live in Texas and the when the summer heat hits triple digits, mowing my lawn at 5 am with headlights makes a BIG difference.
@Michael Bowman - I own one. Its a Ryobi 20 inch cordless brushless electric. Bright LED headlights for night mowing.
@Michael Bowman - I sure doubted the headlights. Never thought I would use them. But they took me by surprise. I can see great at night.
@Michael Bowman -- Its a manicured urban lot. No snakes. Sticks yes. Mower mulches 'em into dust. Haven't had to go to ER yet. I think you would be surprised. You can see the cut rows BETTER at night with the headlights beaming across the grass.
Can you leave the battery plugged in to the charger for long periods like 5-6 months when not in use? Thanks for the video.
You can leave it in there. I usually don't. I have left it there for 2 weeks before though. It shuts off when its done charging. Also I left the battery charged and after all winter it still had 2 bars left so the battery doesn't drain that fast.
How do u charge the battery
works in a slopy terrain?
I have a Lawn mower 80 V I bought at Costco... works ! Except the batteries the left battery works the right battery will not... states that it is charged, the round signal is dark. If I put the battery in the charger it will not charge or at least show completed... when I mow the yard the left battery works and when that is exhausted you would think the right battery would take over... NO! Greenworks Customer service is horrible does not work either number. So I will need to return item to Costco.
Yeah I’m going electric. I’m just wanting for my 10 year old push mower to go Tango Uniform.
Awesome mower review, how many times did you had to dump your bag?
I think it was around 5 the grass was pretty high.
Is the machine rechargeable by plunging into the wall?
Imagine what the 60v one could do.
ive seen a 80 volt one too lol cut grass all day
How much run time you get with one charge?
Do you charge it up each time before you use it?
Id say it takes me 30-45 minutes to mow my lawn and as you saw it was only half way down so you probably get a hour to hour and half run time. And the grass was really tall because I wanted to push the mower. Yeah I throw in on the charger after each mowing. Same with the Ryobi weed eater then its ready go go anytime.
The hour plus long single charged run time is very good. Keeping the mower and the Ryobi on the changer day after days ready for the next use is a bit risky, isn't it? There are so many Lipo battery accidents during charging.
Yes I worry about leaving it on the charger too. I take it off the next day or that day if possible. I just put it right on the charger right after use so I don't forget. I did check the battery and charger after the charging light was off and nothing was warm so I think it shuts off the charging is done.
WIth lithium batteries its better to keep them topped off rather than drain them all the way. They will last a lot longer. You also want to store them at less than 85 degrees, so dont leave the battery in your mower in the garage.
Thumbs up
How many times did you have to empty the bag?

Was that a ween in the background?
For non-dachshund people, a ween is a dachshund.
Yes, she is named Hana and she shows up even more in my new video.
I don't trust a lawn mowing review from a person with a lawn like that.
S G maybe he grew it out for the review?
I grew the lawn extra high to push the mower to its limits.
@@Somecooltech1 I have been known to do that my old-ass self, before getting a self powered mower
For reals. I have like 2 acres high grass. I have to pay for a tractor to mow. Come cut my grass buddy
@@edgerramirez6782 If your "lawn" isn't at least knee high, you likely have some damn golf course type of lawn and are clearly too rich to be mowing your own grass to begin with. Normal people don't have cute little flat lawns like this reviewer has.
You cannot clean it with a hose.....the instructions said no water.
I used it for 20 minutes and it stopped. Dead. Nothing.. the battery pack won't give me a reading. I let it cool off... Maybe it overheated? So I charged the battery again... Again.. I. Mowed for 20 minutes... And dead. It doesn't last very long. Battery sucks.
I got this as a gift for birthday. Since getting it, I agree it is easier to use than the gas mower, if only way less powerful. Can only do the most easy part of my yard with it. Well after about 9 or 10 charges to that 5ah battery that was included with it, it no longer charges. Complete and total waste of money because going online now, there are thousands of people who have the same problems with these horrifically defective products. STAY AWAY. I feel bad that this 400$ gift is now going to the landfill after it couldn't even make it through half a year. Yeah i'll stick with my heavier but reliable gas mower which has been going strong for 14 straight years now with nothing but the occasional carb job in the springtime. So much for being cleaner for the environment when you are filling up our landfills with your defective Li-on batteries that don't even work a dozen times before they are waste. Could you imagine an electrically powered car that you could only charge up 10 times before it was dead and you had to purchase a new one?

10 соток я этим говном 6 раз заряжал аккум пока скосил 4АЧ
SOUND FAIL? Why play some dude doing beat box? I wanna 'hear' the mower; how silent it is compared to a gas mower. Please REMOVE the beat box; totally un-needed.

great drone shots
I have one. The lawn mower is a piece of crap. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This guy is definitely not a techie. One thing about ALL rechargeable battery powered equipment. Battery pack lifespan and runtime per charge preservation DEMANDS as close to nominal full discharge as possible with every charge /discharge cycle. With yard equipment, the energy demand for each task is as variable as the weather, among other factors. Therefor, having a spare battery pack to swap out at nominal full discharge is EVERY BIT as important as having a gas can for a gas mower etc. I would never think of buying a cordless electric mower with only one battery pack. It's pure folly! It also makes a great argument for equipping oneself with an array of same battery system equipment, in this case such as this G-Max (their trademark for their 40 volt system) mower, a G-max string trimmer, hedge trimmer etc.to stretch the usefulness of multiple same system battery packs / chargers. ( My 35 year career as an in hospital biomedical engineering technician involving extensive work on a wide array of rechargeable battery powered medical devices, charging circuits and battery chemistries informed the above statements)
It's not electric it's battery operated
um, battery is electric...
Batteries are electrical devices bro....
Great lawn mower, less noise, found that high grass cutting uses more battery life, recommend highly
When he said ultra quick i thought it would take a minute and joked it would be a second and it was
I've been using electric mowers for 8 years. Would never consider gas again.
Absolute garbage. Battery life is so poor expect to need to fully recharge them two or three times to be able to mow even a modest sized lot.
I’m experiencing this now lol. Probably have to get a higher voltage
been using a neuton for 15 years or so, heavy battery but the mower itself is super light. battery life is good for very small lawns only, I'm excited to try the new battery tech. this mower will probably be perfect for me.
also i haven't had gas in my house for 15 years, and that's great. no oil, no fumes, no exhaust, the noise is pretty much on a par with a fan as he says in the video. nice to see the big companies finally selling electric mowers.
Thanks for the review! If you have the 40V lawnmower, can you upgrade to a 60V battery?
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
It must really be quiet for you little daushaund to not be too scared of it. Great review. Thanks.
Your presentation is so obvious
My mower runs but now its not cutting the grass, blade is brand new, used it 4 times last summer and it has been garaged all winter. Its brand new and was running just fine before I stored it. I adjusted the height, no change.Greenworks customer service has taken a dive. They were not helpful, it seems like no one is knowlegable when it comes to "my mower runs fine but will not cut the grass". I would suggest to move on from Greenworks, very poor customer service.
Thanks for the review! What camera are you using to record? The video quality is spectacular!
Thanks! Sony a6500 and sony ax53.
That sold me I have been wanting to convert from gas to electric.
So glad I could help. Keep it in your cart at the end of the summer to monitor the price, Amazon usually discounted mowers a lot at the end of the mowing season.
To Me electric is the only way to go in my mind. saver for the enverment.... Plus you can mow on those Ozone days LOL!!! FIGHT THE POWER!!!
Disney Dad don't think about it do it
Whags the minimum and maximum height adjustments
It was a great mower until it quit working. Mine worked fine for a few months, now when I use it, it runs for a few seconds and then just stops. Turn it on again, runs a few seconds and stops. It is not a battery issue, does same on both fairly new fully charged batteries. Any ideas. I have not been able to get thru on the customer service line yet.
Did you mow on wet grass after raining? If yes, some mud may be stuck inside into the mower and prevent the engine from working.
I’m having the same issue with mine!! Keeps cutting out and can’t find a way to fix it
Thinking about getting greenworks, would i have to get an extra battery? The back lawn and front can get thick. I have a ryobi and have it for years but as much as i like it but pain when i have to mow grass when its high up. Sometimes using 3-4 batteries to mow.
Good review. I'm buying a used one tomorrow for $100 and this helps me with my decision. One other good thing I can see about doing away with gas mowers is you don't have to worry about pulling your arm out of socket trying to start one after every winter.
One other caveat about the cordless varieties though, is you really want to keep at least the battery (and charger imo) inside in airconditioned temperatures. Extreme heat and cold will play havoc on rechargable batteries so having a place for permanent storage in the house or garage is a must imo. Also many cordless tools will want to be kept inside as well as the oils in them can be finicky to extreme temp ranges.
If I might also suggest, I believe it's better to mow first, then weed eat. For one, the wed eater is there to just get whatever the mower can't reach, and for two, mowing first will keep your ankles out of the tall grass when it's time to weed eat.
Thanks again for the review :)
Just bought one. Had to return a Sun Joe that only worked once then would not recharge. Hope this one lasts a long time. Thx for the review. Aloha!
Is the music from the show Doug? Good review
Thanks. Heres where I got the song audiojungle.net/item/beatboxing/19299747
How does it mulch?
I bought a 20 inch 40V on amazon and it dies on thicker grass.
Good reporting. Thanks Jim S
One thought for you up northers - when you put a gas mower away for the winter, you often have to take it to a lawn mower shop to get it running again in spring - if you're not a mechanic. And unless you get the really big boy, gas mowers tend to choke in tall grass.
I bought a certified 22" push mower and its amazing. has a powerful 175cc motor that cuts through grass like nothing. Its the most powerful gas mower ive used so far and its surprisingly light.
I have a landscaping buisness i use gas but for my home i use the cordless
Never! Drain all of the gas including the carburetor and the mower will quickly start in the spring with fresh gas. Many gas mowers have a drain bolt near the bottom of the float bowl for this. If no such bolt, then loosen the hex head bolt that holds the float bowl to the carb. Gas gets old so use new gas.
Greatly video dude. I’m going to buy one now.
How’s the mower doing now? My gas one just went dead and I’m considering electric. My yard takes an hour to mow. Would one battery last that long?
Thanks.
If you want a cheaper option I got a corded mower from greenworks and it's awesome.
But corded ones are not self propelled.
I wish you had showed how to assemble
Are the batteries rechargeable
