Nice mower
First ever battery powered mower for me. Had trouble starting it and called customer service… normally a worthless endeavor, but got to live rep after just a couple minutes. Found out that there is more to it than just hitting the start button. You must also squeeze the triggers on the handle. This was not mentioned in the operating manual.This mower has dual battery ports, but comes with only one battery [w/charger]. Was only able to finish 3/4 of my average sized yard before it ran out of juice. After a 45 minute charge, I was able to finish.I ordered a second battery [$116.00 – Ouch!] And now am able to mow the entire yard without stopping… about an hour. The sound is much quieter than a gas mower.Now the test will be endurance. My last 2 gas mowers lasted about 10-12 years each. I’m hoping this one will last that long.

Better than Ego for one reason
I’m a landlord that provides mowers as part of the lease. Typically I order Ego mowers because the battery is good across the tools. I bought the Greenworks 60V mower because, unlike the Ego mowers, it has a side discharge. The rear discharge on the Ego is easily clogged and I’ve found it relatively useless. The side discharge on the Greenworks mower will allow you to cut taller grass and wetter grass. And since the discharge keeps the mower from re”chopping” the grass, it saves the battery for mow yard to mow. Using side discharge, I get much better performance in Spring grass.Now since they also have a special going on for a 60V blower and trimmer, this is the better buy.Otherwise, they are functionally the same. Mulching is similar. Both come with about 480 watt hours of battery in this price range. I like the speed adjustment on this unit better than the Ego because you can throttle it without removing your hands.I’ll probably buy Greenworks from now on. The Ego 7.5AH battery alone costs $400, which is just a little less than the special going on right now for Greenworks 60V mower.

High quality – Greenworks Pro 60v are the BEST!
This is my second Greenworks Pro 60v mower. First one was purchased in 2014. Original 5.0ah battery still works. Mower has never failed and still being used by my son.I now needed a self-propelled mower due to being older, and the weight on this new mower is a bit much for my petite less than 5′ height. I also have a 10% incline area that is too much for pushing without help.WOW the self-propelled works perfect! I’m still getting a workout / exercise without over taxing my 75-year-old body. Because this mower weighs 70 lbs., I am using the self-propelled ALL the time while mowing. Battery time was not reduced by using self-propelled function. Totally amazed!I mulched my lawn and there were no clippings left. It worked perfect using the regular blade. This did come with an extra high-lift blade too.Looking forward to this mower lasting for many years! Highly recommend the PRO 60v Greenworks!

Moves so easy & doesn’t trip my breakers.
Was happy this mower is so light & easy to move around. It’s so simple to push a button to start too. No more heavy gas mower w/ shoulder wrenching pull string start up. I have a battery powered electric mower that I’ve used for 8 yrs & it was used by another person before I got it, so I’m all in on electric push mowers. My old one is fantastic & still works like a champ despite yrs of abuse. It’s hands down better than any gas push mower I ever had (there were many!) & has outlasted them all on top of being easier to use. But the battery was heavy & I needed to remove it for charging & then put it back on the mower. I’m a disabled older woman & this was my only complaint, but I still wouldn’t ever trade it for a gas mower.So the time has come to ck out the corded electric mower to make it even easier on me. I have a big & difficult yard to mow & takes me 3 days to mow all of it. I was concerned about dragging a cord around, but never even thought about it tripping my breaker in the house til I already had this new corded mower. I got enough extension cords for 200’ (100’ rated @ 12 & 100’ rated 14. I may need to upgrade the 14 to 12 also, but we’ll see). I might just use my old battery powered mower in the far back & not need the 14 rated extension anyway.After it arrived it dawned on ne that my patiooutlet might not support the power this mower would draw since I run a window AC & freezer on that same circuit. I was wishing I hadn’t bought a corded mower after thinking about that. So yesterday I finally gritted my teeth & plugged it in to see if the breaker tripped off in the breaker box. All 3 (mower/AC/& freezer were running & possibly something else @ thr time). I was ready for disaster, but nothing happened. The mower just sit there & ran, so I mowed 1/3 of my 3 day mowing job. I was so convinced this wasn’t going to work out, but it was wonderful! I had to stop to flip the cord around whenever I mowed around a tree or something, but honestly, it was no big deal cause the mower felt so light & such a breeze to use that I didn’t mind that tiny bit of cord positioning s bit! I’m good about minding cords anyway since my weed eater & pole saw are also electric & I’m used to it. For people who have never used a corded mower, I’d say it’s not as hard as you probably imagined it would be to have a cord dragging around w/ you while you work. The only people this eould not be a good idea for would be absent minded people who don’t pay attention to what they’re doing because they might run over the cord, but otherwise it’s pretty simple really to mow w/ a cord. If you start out mowing nearest the outlet & work your way outward in a simple back & forth movement, the cord stays in the already mowed area & is not in the way. And if you do need to flip it around out of the way for some reason, it’s easy & nothing like trying to drag or flip a water hose in comparison. No need to be afraid of a power cord making a corded mower a pain in the neck to use. I’m the 1st person to throe in the towel when it’s sweltering hot & I’m mowing & something’s an irritation or making the job a bigger chore than it should be, Trust me, the cord is no big deal. I already love my new mower after feeling how easy it moves!!! This is making a huge difference for me as an older disabled woman who still mows. If you’re needing a light easy to move mower too, electric is the way to go. Battery mowers are easier than gas mowers & corded mowers are easier than battery mowers when it comes to pushing them around. Hope that helps someone.

Green really works.
I just thought I will share my excitement about green. Green really works. To be honest, in the beginning I felt a bit intimidated, especially not understanding the real nitty-gritty of the working of the machine. Well, I am no spring chicken, but with my knowledge now as a fall chicken. Greenworks is my newest bestest (is that a word? – LOL) friend. I strongly recommend. My advice though, is to begin on the lowest propelling grade until you master the machine. My yard is spendiforous. I wish I had more batteries though.

True love
I recently lost my gas-powered lawn mower to poor health. It coughed, sputtered, but worked til it finally died. (I will admit to his demise as being my fault for being a lousy care taker.) I decided to go with something a little less high maintenance. I researched, took leisurely strolls down the aisles at my local home improvement stores and discount stores to get an idea of what I was looking for. It wasn’t until I saw this green beauty and the glowing reviews on it that I KNEW this was the mower for me. I hit the “confirm order” button and received this mower in a day or two. As I excitedly unpacked my new purchase, I could tell immediately that I had a fine piece of machinery….but I wasn’t sold just yet. I was impressed by the metal deck (most of the electric mowers are made of plastic….I’m sure that bodes well with yard debris (i.e. rocks or sticks). I assembled it with very little difficulty. The hardest part was lifting the main piece out of the box. I connected the handlebar to the already attached lower bar, turned the screws to tighten and secure the handle bar, ran the cord to snap into the cord holder, and VOILA! It was ready to be powered up. Now, I’m not one that cares if anyone is impressed with what I have or not….but on THAT day….I was beaming. Inside, I was thinking, “Look at me, everybody! Look at what I’ve got!” Followed by my own made up tune I silently sung in my head, “I’m gonna mow my grass……and I didn’t have to get gas.” Anyway, I grabbed my 100′ extension cord (a word of advice….discard an electrical cord if your dog has gnawed at it….electrical tape can only do so much.) I plugged in my new grass munching machine, and I was off. I will say that for the first 10 minutes, I was hoping and praying that neighbors weren’t watching. I admit that upon first use, trying to maneuver an electric powered mower with a trailing cord is comical at best, frustrating at worst. However, once I got it in my head that it was pretty much like vacuuming, I began getting the hang of it. There is a plastic piece that guides the cord as you turn, but sharp turns will cause the cord to get uncomfortably close to the front wheel as the cord guide isn’t capable of handling such Evel Knievel type stunts.Now, I will say this…it does not handle well in dew-riddled grass. (But then again, neither did my gas-powered mower). Let the grass dry first….then it will cut through like butter. The REAL test was my back yard. (My front lawn is MOSTLY Bermuda with a moderate sprinkling of various weeds.) The back yard….I don’t even have the slightest clue what is growing back there! I think a lot of crab grass, some fescue, poke weed (that grows much taller than I ever will), maybe some privet, and Lord only knows what else.So, I took to the task, pushed the little black button and pushed down the lever (I forgot to mention this awesome feature….but I’ll get back to that). Mowing with lowered expectations, I made my way through the first strip. (The grass was dry, by the way) By the third strip, I knew I was working with a powerful work horse! This thing was trudging through like a soldier! About an hour later, we were done. Poke weed…GONE, knee- high grass….GONE. I was completely impressed. I wanted to hug my new mower. It proved itself a keeper, and the glowing reviews were well earned! Now, getting back to the push start thing. I couldn’t tell you how many times that muscle between the shoulder and neck seized up while trying to start my gas powered mower. You can’t possibly look “ok” when you’re doing yard work walking around like Egor. That little black button on the side of this mower requires one push and one pull back of the lever, and you’re ready to go! Yes, this was the one feature that sold me. (Not to mention it is relatively quiet. My neighbor came over that morning and commented on how quiet it was…he didn’t even know I was doing yard work until he saw me). As I glanced over to my other neighbor who was pulling the cord to his gas powered piece of crap, I took a trip back in my mind to the days when I too, had to push that little gas button several times, and crank that puppy up by pulling that cord numerous times before it finally started. “HA HA!” I chuckled in my head. “Mine is better than yours is” (once again, this was a conversation in my head.) So, to sum this all up….this Greenworks mower truly is worthy of all praise. Would I cut a 40 acre field with it? No…no I would not. But I would cut a 1/2 acre yard with it! It will not bush hog, it will not clear timber, or anything of that nature. But if you have thick or thin (DRY) grass, if you have a relatively small yard, if you are tired of having to remember to buy gas, pull a cord, change the air filter, change the oil, etc. then an electric mower is for you! This particular model, I found, is the best deal. You get the side chute where it spits out the grass (if you choose to use this mulching feature) and you get the bag as well. You can adjust the cut length as well. The price of it beats all the others I looked at with the attachments. (Plus….it’s metal, not plastic).

Lasted me 8 Years
It did well until it finally stopped working after 8 years. Now when you plug it in, it blows a fuse or the socket itself. I did get a KBPC3510 Bridge Rectifier and that fixed it but now it just starts as soon as you connect the extension cord. It’s not a perfect fix but it will get it back working.

Maneuverable, quiet, and long battery life
Operates smoothly. Self propelled feature makes a big difference when mowing lawns with hills, slopes and home structures (e.g., around and under deck stairs, retaing walls, mowing around chimneys, A/C compressors,flower gardens) and other places lawn tractors can’t reach. It’s so quiet! No longer have to wear ear protection. Great!

battery like is nowhere near an hour of runtime
I have used it once. It did a good job cutting 25X35 area. It weighs ~ 80 lbs. So nice not to have to hassle with oil and gas. Need to watch the recharging time on battery. It will overheat and not shut itself down while charging.

Great mower!
I love this mower. I bought thr 60v with the weedeater and blower and all 3 work flawlessly. I was really surprised how much power they had. I wasn’t sure after having gas mowers my whole life, but I would definitely reccommend. Great job Greenworks

It comes folded up in a box that might be heavy for some people to move.
Nice little mower. If you are used to a cord, this is perfect.

RUBE GOLDBERG WOULD BE PROUD
I’ve used the mower about 5 times. In general I am pleased with my purchase. I like the extra power (12amp) compared to my old Black and Decker (9amp;I kept it as a backup). It makes it easier to cut longer grass and move the mower a little faster without bogging down too much. Seems like good quality although one can never be too sure. I always expect things to break and as long they can be repaired by me I’m ok with it. The bag design is good. Easy on and off and carries a decent amount of grass before getting too heavy. They used Torx (star) head screws to secure the motor cover which makes no sense as Phillips would do just fine and not require a special tool. Yes, a small flat blade screwdriver can be used, but it will mess up the screw head and make removal difficult eventually.The RUBE GOLDBERG AWARD goes to the on/off safety switch mechanism. This, in my opinion is the worst design possible. Maybe this is an OSHA requirement. I don’t know. One has to hold down a large push button and then pull the bale arm to turn on the motor. I took the mechanism apart and it is a mess of little cable, small spring, tiny brass bushing, and a lever arm to engage the electrical switch. It works just fine but I don’t know for how long. The Black and Decker design is much simpler and consists of a large sturdy plastic lever arm which pushes on the DPDT switch which contacts either the power circuit or the stop circuit. The BD design can be seen on Youtube. It is extremely difficult to re-install the Greenworks mechanism. If it breaks, I’m read with an industrial ON/OFF/ON DPDT toggle switch which I will install and junk all of those little parts. As stated above, I’m pretty please with my purchase and would recommend this mower, but I think it would be better to buy it locally so that it could be more easily repaired or returned if need be. I WILL TRY TO UPDATE THIS REPORT AS REQUIRED.UPDATE: I forgot to mention that 2 of small plastic wheel hub covers were missing on my mower. A small item and probably not worth dealing with customer service over. The mower is working great.ANOTHER DESIGN FLAW: there is rubber “flapper” that drags off of the rear edge of the mower body presumably to prevent debris from flying out and hitting the user. The rubber flapper prevents the lowering mechanism from reaching full bottom. The lowering handle cannot make it into the last two notch positions. This can be remedied by removing the flapper if you choose to do so. I do not recommend that you do this and am just pointing out a design feature.

GreenWorks compared to Black & Decker
I’m giving this review primarily to compare this GreenWorks mower with my previous mower, a Black & Decker Lawn Hog. I consider these mowers very comparable, so if you’re considering a corded, electric mower, you may be deciding between these two. I used my B&D mower for several years and was disappointed in many ways. I even considered going back to a gas powered mower. I’m glad I didn’t because the major problems I had with the B&D seem to be corrected in the GW mower.The biggest issue that was solved with the GW is the channel between the deck and the bag. The B&D would get grass caught in that channel constantly and I would have to pull grass out of there by hand over and over. The GW mower has a much wider and shorter channel. I never needed to pull grass out or anything with the GW mower and therefore didn’t have to stop to empty the bag nearly as much.The GW mower has a bigger blade and it seems easier to get closer to walls, etc. too.The B&D mower has a one step start but the lever must be held on the right side. This makes single-handed maneuvers virtually impossible with the left hand. The GW mower has a two step start process that initially takes both hands but then the lever can be held by either or both hands.The seal around the grass bag was a little better on the B&D mower. I’ve read some reviews of the GW mower to this effect. There is one thing that I noticed (almost) right away. The GW bag has a top gasket that needs to be put into place before use. If you don’t connect this rubberized part to the top of the bag, grass will spill out the back quite easily, so make sure to put it into place properly. Even when this is done, there is still a little grass that escapes the bag from time to time. Didn’t seem to be a big issue to me though. The GW bag tapers a little, so the opening is a little smaller than the rest of the bag. This makes it slightly more difficult to empty a full bag. Instead of holding the bag totally vertical to empty, if it’s held at about a 45 degree angle it makes it easier.Some people have mentioned the cord holder of the GW mower. Initially I was skeptical of the design, but after a bit of use, I prefer it over the B&D mower with one caveat. The hole for the GW mower cord holder needs to be a little bit bigger. When using an electric corded mower, one needs to make sure to use a properly sized cord. This means that longer cords are thicker. Bending a thick cord enough to fit through that small hold makes me wonder if it will eventually damage the cord over time.Storage space can be an issue for some when it comes to mowers. The GW mower is easy to fold up for storage. It has quick unlocking points halfway up the handle. A secondary folding point that requires a little more time is also available to make it even smaller.Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the GW mower with the few exceptions that I mentioned above. It’s easy to use and is at a very competitive price point. Having used these two comparable mowers, I would definitely recommend the GW mower over the B&D mower.

Heavy, bad design for managing the cord, but gets the job done
If I could give half-star ratings, I’d rate this 3.5, but I rounded up to 4 to be generous. It does do the job, and handled my overgrown lawn pretty well, including sucking up the large maple leaves that I didn’t bother to rake first. This was with green but fairly dry grass that had been unmowed for several weeks while I tried (in vain) to fix my old mower, then shopped around for a new one, and then waited for this one to arrive. I would consider recommending this to others, but not without a few caveats. Bang-for-the-buck, it’s not bad.I don’t know what other people are thinking of or comparing to when they say this thing is “light.” That’s not how I would describe it at all. I bought this to replace my Black & Decker Lawn Hog MM575, and that is a feather compared to this GreenWorks mower. The box it arrives in is marked “team lift” and “66 LBS,” and obviously most of that is the mower and not the box, so I’ll let you decide whether ~60lbs is light for an electric mower. Compared to my old one, I consider this very heavy.The cord management on this is awful. My old mower was corded electric, so I’m accustomed to the hassle of dragging around a cord. It takes getting used to after using gas-powered mowers, but it’s not a big deal. This thing, however…. Well, I’m guessing that whoever designed it did so on a computer, and it probably looks “on paper” like it would work, but actually using it is a mess. The small clip that can be used to hold the cord against the handle pops off the handle with the slightest strain, so that’s basically garbage. The cord lock “thing” that hangs from the bar across the handles doesn’t do much and I’ll probably not bother using it in the future. The worst part is that, unlike the Black & Decker, this one has a short cord into which you plug the extension cord, instead of plugging it into a hard mount. You’re supposed to “knot” the cords to keep it from unplugging, and then use the cord lock “thing” to… take strain off the knot? Or something. But since the other clip readily pops off the handle, the whole cord assembly ends up low on the mower and beyond arm’s reach. If you’ve never mowed with an electric mower, I’ll tell you that you’re going to want to have hands on that cord frequently, to flip it out of the way or whatever. Having to constantly reach so far down just to do that makes mowing much more of a hassle than it should be. Compared to how the cord is handled on the B&D mower, this is just a bad joke. Cord (mis)management is by far my biggest gripe so far, and it really does affect the whole mowing process.Bagging seemed to go fine, the bag attaches relatively easily, dumps easily, etc. The mower also supports side discharge and mulching, but after being annoyed with those modes on my old mower, I’m happy to use the bag and dump that into our yard waste bin for curbside pickup. Other lawns/other people might find those modes more suitable, and the mower looks like it should be able to handle them fine.Overall, I don’t specifically regret buying this, but I’m not going to rave about it either. At least my lawn looks tidy again.

Works Great, Highly Recommend
I’m very happy with this purchase. I paid on Wednesday and it was on my doorstep when I woke up Sunday morning.Let me start by saying I was undecided of what to buy for my small yard. I only have about a .15 acre lot which takes about 20 minutes to cut (for the guy I’ve been paying). I just knew I didn’t want a gas mower, that was for sure. I first purchased a Great States 16″ push reel mower on here a couple weeks ago. It works pretty well, but the only problem is the highest setting is only 2.5 inches which I failed to realize before I bought it. It was a deal breaker for me. The GreenWorks can be set as high as 3.75 inches.So I came back and bought this GreenWorks mower which was the other one I had originally considered. I wish I had just bought this one first.The box is quite heavy, you will ideally want to have an extra hand to help you carry it to where you want to assemble. The mower is mostly assembled right out of the box, with just a few steps involved. I cringe when I have to assemble even the most basic of items, but this took me a total of about 10-15 minutes to get it ready to go. **very important to remember this part** => there is a large block of styrofoam underneath the mower that you need to remove before you turn this thing on for the first time. I only happened to stumble across it when I was trying to raise the height setting. That would have been messy.Once you plug it in, all you have to do is hold the start button down with one hand and pull the safety lever back with the other and it fires right up. This thing has plenty of power. Definitely more than I was expecting. My grass was upwards of 6-7 inches long and it cut right through it just like a “regular” lawnmower. The height adjustment is a single lever that lifts the whole thing, so you can raise it up in one motion instead of having to adjust each individual side. Love this!The chord did not get in the way as much as I thought it would. This was the biggest hang-up I had about buying the mower the first time. It will cost you a few extra minutes in the total cut time by having to deal with it from time to time, but you get used to it and you get more efficient as you go along.I used the bag to collect the grass clippings and it seemed to work reasonably well, although there was a decent amount of debris that found its way onto the top of the mower (the green metal part in between the bag and the motor). I’ve heard that it does collect under the motor casing from other reviewers, but I did not remove it this first time to inspect. I just used my blower at the end to blow off all the extra clippings off the top.Bottom line, the mower works great and the quality is as expected. At this price, you really can’t beat it. Highly recommend.

powerful motor, but parts keep falling off
I bought the corded model as i don’t mind managing the extension cord for my medium sized yard. it’s much like managing the cord on a vacuum cleaner. i love the light weight of the mower and it is much like pushing a vacuum cleaner over the lawn. i’ve only used this for one season of mowing, but it has already lost a fluted nut during mowing that holds the handles together, and a large nut and bolt fell off during mowing that holds the handle to the body of the motor. they are forever lost in my lawn. pushing the mower with only one side of the handle attached to the mower body is really difficult, but luckily it’s winter so i’ve got some time before spring arrives to get it fixed. i have yet to contact customer service, so i don’t know how hard it will be to get replacement parts

It works
We got tired of having to buy gas and pull start our old gas mower every mowing season. So, we decided to go green and save ourselves from breathing in gas fumes with this electric mower. We had to get used to dragging an electrical cord around but once we got used to a mowing pattern that didn’t affect the electrical cord connection, it was fine. It’ lightweight enough to push around and the push button start is much better than the old method of pull start that hurt my shoulder when it wouldn’t start easily. Would recommend this mower.

Great mower, durable and easy to use. Highly recommended
I’ve had this mower for 8 years now and it still runs just fine. It has power and reliability and is just an overall great value.A little backstory about why i chose to go with an electric mower: My yard is small (1/8 acre) and pretty level so I decided to give this corded mower a try. My neighbor whose house is situated on a similarly sized plot was the one who introduced me to electric mowers told me how he’s also never had any issues.The toughest part about using a corded mower is figuring out the best way to maneuver/cut the lawn without having to constantly adjust the power cord. Once you get that down, it works just like a regular mower – it’s got enough power to handle taller lawns and the occasional wayward branches/debris. It’s easy to maneuver and switch between bagging/mulching/side discharging. It’s easy to adjust the height of the blade, there’s only one lever to adjust.Here’s a couple of tips for those considering doing the switch to electric mowers.1.Buy yourself a nice extension cord that will A) stand out from the lawn color and B) reach from the power source to the farthest corner of your lawn and then some. I originally used the extension cord that i had for the christmas ornaments which was a dark green color. I ended up running it over it a few years ago because it blends in with the lawn so I switched to 50ft BRIGHT ORANGE power cord and have been using it ever since. Much easier to deal with the orange cord.2. Figure out the best way to mow based on how your lawn is situated and where the power source is. NOW MEMORIZE THAT PATTERN. It took a few mowing sessions for me to determine the best way to mow without having to repeatedly tussle with the power cord but I’ve got it memorized now and I just follow that same pattern every time I mow. I don’t mind that its a corded mower one bit; in fact, I would prefer this over the battery one which costs way more and you are limited in how long you can run the mower by the number of batteries you have. Generally, its easiest to start at the point in the lawn that’s closest to the outlet and end at the furthest point from the lawn. I keep the cord between my two legs while I mow so that when I do the U turn at the edge of the lawn to do the next line of grass, the cord easily follows behind the mower. It’s also feels lighter and is way quieter than a gas mower (it’s about as loud as a vacuum cleaner) so for those of you go-getters who insist on mowing the lawn at 8am on Saturday when the rest of the world is sleeping in, your neighbors will thank you.

So pleased. Gets the job done!
This mower is great. Arrived early. Easy assembly involves handle only. So glad to have NO gasoline and NO battery to charge. I ordered the recommended electrical cord and once you figure out the best pattern for mowing you’re set. So lightweight and easy to maneuver. But the fact that it’s metal, not all plastic, gives it the sturdiness and weight to mow through my think fescue beautifully. Starts easily. Nothing negative to say. I had previously ordered a different mower and sent it back. So glad I did. This Greenworks mower is far superior for only a few dollars more.I did the research and trial & error for you. Just order this one!

No Big Complaints – just a great lawn mower
No Big Complaints – just a great lawn mower. Probably the next best thing to using a scythe – have you seen the world championship lawn mowing competition? 🙂 Those guys are insane…For all of my long years of youth, I had been using a Toro gas-powered motor to mow the lawn for my house. Reliably, every week, I’d get out there, go to the gasoline-vapor-filled shed, fill up the mower’s gas tank, careful not to spill any, and be off and on my way. Sometimes it would be hard to start. Very hard to start. Other days just fine. Noisy and smelly, but it did the trick. Worked fine mulching or bagging. Fast forward a few years – when I was off on my own, in my first house, I had a relatively small yard, and decided that I would “go green” and get one of the old fashioned non-powered push mowers. Big mistake – it just didn’t cut as well as the powered one period, and it lacked that magical ability to cut taller grass if I had forgotten, or to “suck up” grass if it was in divots. It was relatively quiet, but still pretty noisy as you’re shuffling along. When I moved, I knew it was definitely time to go back to a motorized mower, but what to choose?Along comes this mower, which I got from Amazon, but off-season (dead of winter), so it was significantly cheaper than normal. The promise was that it would have the oomph of a gas mower while using the less-emissions-generating electricity that we all know and love, all while being quieter than the equivalent gas mower. Startups are dirt simple and easy. The caveat for it all is that you’re now tethered to your outlet and lack the free reign of movement. For those with a normal sized yard, this isn’t normally an issue, but if you’re out in the back woods you may find this to be too restrictive.First – to start out – as other reviewers have commented, to get the maximum length away from an outlet, you need a tougher and fatter 12 gauge extension cord to run this puppy safely, so if you don’t have one of those, you’ll also need to order one, and they’re significantly more expensive than the normal ones you’re used to. I got a 100′ cord, with winter flexibility, for about $50 – if I ever get an electric snow blower, it would work just fine with that as well. This added thickness also means there’s a good chance that the “cord holder” that the mower comes with is not going to cut it – it’s simply too small. Not a big issue, just hold the cord with your hand, and problem solved.The mower itself works like a champ – it mows. I haven’t blown a fuse in the house. Startup is easy and you don’t find yourself doing a 90’s dance move every time you want to stop mowing for a second – weren’t those good times? There’s no rabbit / turtle / choke throttle on this – there’s just one setting – mow – which works just fine for me. The bag holds the clippings from my entire lawn (since the wife hates mulching), and I have a decent sized yard (such that I needed the 100′ cord). It’s got a single place to adjust the height of the mower, which is a neat feature. It has the power of a gas mower, at least for my suburban purposes. I don’t have to run and get gas every month that’s 4 times as expensive as when I was mowing as a kid. If I mow for an hour, at full tilt, it’s about $0.20 in electricity with this thing, so over time I expect this thing to almost pay for itself. Switching from bag to mulch is done via a block that you put in place in the back, and is done easily enough. There’s a side attachment as well.Now for the downside – cord as tether and the noise. It’s billed as being less noisy than a gas mower. It’s marginally less noisy than a gas mower, but it’s still extremely noisy – because the primary noise maker is the small tornado that’s happening under the hood. You’re saved only the noise of the gas motor. It will wake the baby if you try running this outside their window. You will still want noise cancelling headphones or work earmuffs. I’ll make a comment for the cord as a tether. Yes it’s frustrating when you’re not paying attention and the cord slips out. No, it’s not terribly complicated on how to plan for it – start closest from where your plug is and then work outward – voila – your cord isn’t going to be chewed up by the mower, because it’s always behind you.

Purchased for a friend and she loves it.
I bought this mower for a friend, whose spouse was temporarily disabled and unable to do yard work. She loves it for its light weight and the great job it does on the lawn. She caught on to cord management very quickly. Lovely little machine! How did I know to get it? I’ll tell you.Back in 2009 I decided to try an electric mower after my old push mower burned out. I got the 20-inch model even though the guides said that my 1/3 acre lot was too much grass for this kind of machine. Well I was used to trudging behind a 21 inch mower so I didn’t see how a 20 inch would be all that different if the cord would reach. The mower I chose (a Task Force purchased at a local chain store) is identical in all but styling details to the GreenWorks 25022. Even the wheels are the same. It has the same EZ height adjuster, same amperage, everything. It probably was built at the same Chinese factory. Right out of the box, the mower worked very well. I needed 150 ft. of heavy cord to get to every place on my lawn, which is extreme but did not cause me any problems. I suspect my local utility is supplying power closer to 125 volts than the minimum 110.At the same time I bought this mower, I also purchased a 21-inch gas-powered Troy-bilt as a backup. I quickly came to prefer the electric for its light weight and ease of maintenance. Comparing the two, the gas mower has more power to plow through overgrown or damp grass. The electric can handle overgrown grass, but you have to slow down and the side discharge will clog occasionally. If I had to cut overgrown grass with the electric, I would raise the deck to the highest setting and then cut it again at standard height the next day. It takes me about an hour and a half to cut my lawn with the gas mower, and by the end I’m worn out. The electric takes me about two hours, but at the end I’m still fresh because it’s SO much easier to push.My brilliant repair #1:Early in the second season one day, I was happily cutting away when the mower lost power and then quit running. Kicking the tires did not revive it, so I put it away after calling it a hunk a junk and finished the season with my new gas mower. I used the gas mower exclusively the next year also, but in the spring of 2012 I took the cover off and gave the electric motor a hard look. A gap had opened up between one of the brushes and the armature, causing a spark to arc across the gap and deposit a layer of carbon on the armature. When the carbon got thick enough the motor wouldn’t run any more. I found the owner’s manual, called the parts source, and ordered new brushes. They installed easily, and the motor has run perfectly ever since.My brilliant repair #2In the 2013 season the safety switch started popping loose and shutting down the mower. I carefully disassembled the switch, found nothing broken or worn, and carefully reassembled it. Since then it’s worked perfectly for four years. Just recently it’s started doing it again, occasionally, but this time I doubt if taking it apart will fix it. Parts wear out.Update 7/28/2017: My less than brilliant third repair. As expected, the safety switch continued to pop loose. I opened the case and saw that some plastic bolsters around the kill button had broken off leaving the button with too much freedom of movement. I bought a simple toggle switch (overpriced at $9.50) and installed it in place of the original. Losing the dead-man switch was not a concern to me because I was a grown man before those things were required. However, I also lost the blade brake. Without it, after power shut-off the blade continues to spin like the flywheel it is for at least ten seconds. That is dangerous, so kids, don’t do this repair. I’m going to get a second switch to reinstate the blade brake. It will be completely manual, but better than nothing.As others have mentioned, the choice of cord is critical. Pick one too small for the job, and you’ll burn up the rectifier. I think the rectifier is also sensitive to hard use. Keep the RPMs up, don’t lug it down in thick grass. A sharp blade will slice through the grass more easily, without bogging down. The blade is easily removed, and can be sharpened with no trouble if you have something to clamp it and a 10 or 12 inch flat mill (aka “flat bastard”) file. I’m sure YouTube has videos on how to do it.Others have also mentioned that the motor compartment is not sealed. Grass and leaves and trash will accumulate in there and potentially cause trouble if not cleaned out from time to time. This service involves backing out the four bolts that hold the plastic cover in place. After removing the cover several times, I have stripped the heads of the soft bolts and can no longer get them out. The buildup of trash may soon cause me to need Brilliant Repair #3; or more likely I’ll just buy a new GreenWorks. If you want your mower to last, replace those soft factory bolts with hardened stainless steel versions, and keep the threads lubricated.One other thing I love about this mower: You can flip it upside down to clean the deck. I promise the gas and oil won’t run out of it!

Works like a charm…
This is a review for the Greenworks 25022 12 amp electric mower with dual-column gas chromatograph. If you swallowed the last part of that first sentence, then be forewarned about the rest of my review…you’ll get a lot of that. So pay attention.First of all, this thing is cool. I don’t usually jump right to `coolness’ as a major criteria, but let’s face it – mowing your lawn with an electric mower is about as manly as shopping for curtains. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But if you ARE going to use one of these, it should at least look cool.By cool I mean it’s low and sleek and aerodynamic. You may not think this is important, but when most of your neighbors have shrines to Dale Earnhardt in their man caves, every little bit helps. Even the green finish is race-car quality. And yes, I put some “3” stickers on it as soon as I unpacked it.It also appears kinda jacked up, with those larger rear wheels. But seriously, these make a lot of sense, and they make maneuvering a lot easier. Which is huge if you are a clumsy dolt like me. Add in a trailing power cord and you’ve got all the makings for an amusing video.OK, let’s get down to brass tacks – do I like it? Um, duh…did you not see the five stars? If all you want is the bottom-line, then yes, I own several Greenworks products and this is by far my favorite. The folks ate Greenworks may love me for this, but beware guys…if I get around to reviewing your electric trimmer you may not like me so much.Unpacking…there was none. I mean really…outta the box, fold up the handle bar, attach cord, cut grass. I could still smell the exhaust fumes from the UPS truck that dropped it off when I first started mowing. Press the control handle down, press the start button, start mowing. I admit I get a cheap thrill out of the simplicity of button-start. It took a while for me to get used to the fact that if I ever have to pause mowing, I didn’t have to do the one-hand-on-the-control-handle dance, also known in some cases as the “just moments later I ended up in the ER” move. It’s where you have to pause to pick up an obstacle, and with a GAS mower, you are loathe to let go because you know that means pulling the cable to get it going again.Now, if I have to stop and start again, I often wait for a car to go by so I can grin at them while I press the button. Granted, most of my neighbors pay to have their lawn cut, so my feeble attempt at showing off is most likely a complete waste of time.Back to the details…using the mower is a breeze and it has handled everything I have thrown at it just fine. I live in Florida, and my lawn is a mix of St Augustine and some other stuff that I am pretty sure are weeds. I’m sure the good people who write all the neighborhood “appearance” laws will let me know soon enough if I am right. Point is they are thick. But behold the power of electric torque (whatever that means). I think it means that when push comes to shove, electric power can be pretty awesome. So I have never had any issues, even with wet grass.Let’s talk about the height adjustment thingy. My first reaction when I read about this in the reviews was “who cares…set it to the proper height for your lawn and forget it”. If you’re popping this thing up and down I am betting your lawn hates you. But when I got it in person and tried it out, it was almost orgasmic. If you have ever struggled with those individual spring adjusters on each wheel, you will love this. I raise and lower it with ease. I have no reason to do so, but again I just love doing this when I am out front by the road. I look like Vanna out there smiling as I use ONE hand to change the height of the entire mower. Just have to remember to set it back to the right height. Coupla times I was so caught up in showing off that I left it on low, and sure enough the electric motor happily chewed a bald spot in my lawn as soon as I hit the start button.OK let’s talk about mulching. Hmmmm…well, I don’t have much to mulch, but I rarely use the catcher. And I never see clumps of grass or anything like that. When I do use the catcher, it works just fine, and the grass I see in there looks pretty well chopped up. By the way, I only use the catcher when I need new clippings for our outdoor composter, which gets pretty darn disgusting here in sunny FLA. I mean, when you open the lid and you see a whole lotta creepy things squirming around your banana peels and coffee grinds, ain’t no way I’m gonna reach in and scoop ANYTHING outta there. So I add more grass to cover them up. Point is I mulch all the time, and no problems.I guess at this point I am done talking about the mower itself. Which brings us to the subject of what it takes to mow a lawn with a power cord. I admit it took me a bit to come up with a method that didn’t involve me tripping over the cord multiple times and landing on my face. Power cords can be remarkably potent weapons in the hands of someone who is clueless. And let’s get one thing out of the way right now…yes, I have run over the cord by accident. Luckily it wasn’t at the same time that I forgot to set the height back to high after showing off. Otherwise I might not be here writing this review.I am pretty sure I own one of the biggest lawns of anyone who currently uses an electric mower. I stopped caring about lot sizes at some point in my life, perhaps right around the time I realized I was more excited by the Home Depot catalog than I was with the one from Victoria’s Secret. But I am told by my other neighbors that we have the biggest one. I dunno, maybe 40,000 sq ft? No more than an acre for sure. So the first rule I learned is to work in small sections. I was worried this would be a bad thing when I started a new section…how would they line up? Would the Lawn Police cite me for uneven lines? Luckily it doesn’t seem to matter.You also have to work OUT from the cord source. Yes, I know this sounds obvious, but if you knew me like my wife knows me, this is an important point to make clear. Kind of like the time I was cutting a tree down that was near our house, and I managed to notch it on the wrong side. Given a fifty/fifty chance of screwing something up, I have a unique ability of not choosing wisely.So what I do is work perpendicular to wherever the cord is plugged in at the house. I know that’s a big word for some people, so think of it this way…it looks like a big T…the cord comes straight out from the house forming the base of the T, and then you start mowing side-to-side forming the top of the T as you go along.Here’s my big tip…ignore the fixed cord holder on the mower. Why? Because I found that as I am mowing my way out, it’s easier for me to just grab the cord in one hand, and I simply shift which hand I use as I go back and forth. This way I always keep the trailing end of the cord on the house side. Believe you me…this greatly reduces the trip-and-fall-on-your-face factor. Not that that ever happened to me. Really.Here’s another tidbit…when I shopped for power cords, I ended up with a 100′ and a 50′. The 100′ is a royal pain in the patooie. Not only is it heavy and cumbersome, but the outer sheathing is `sticky’, and when you start trolling along a hundred feet of cord, it can be remarkably hard to do if it clings to the grass like bratty kid that doesn’t want to go to the dentist. The fifty footer is yellow and the surface is smooth. Get yourself a smooth cord. Trust me on this.OK this is really long and Amazon probably won’t even approve it. If you need or would like an electric lawn mower, this puppy rocks. I really really like it, and no, Greenworks is not giving me a free t-shirt for doing this review. Although that would be kinda cool. I figured I’d better drop this hint now just in case I do ever get around to talking about their trimmer.

Excellent corded mower, works as advertised.
This review is for the GreenWorks 25022 12 Amp Corded 20-Inch Lawnmower; if listed under a different or similar item that is due to product aggregation for various models by the seller or website, not in error.Overall: This corded electric mower lives up to its high ratings, if you are in the market for a corded electric, and not gas or cordless, this is a great choice you won’t regret.Background: I was in the market for a new lawnmower moving to a residential home from a condo where the association took care of the yard work. I wanted something less messy than a gas mower, quieter, and lighter, and I didn’t want to run out of fuel, whether that was gas or battery power. For me, that meant a corded mower with constant power, and I was willing to trade maneuvering around an extension cord to get the capability.Product Description: As advertised. I can’t find anything in the ad that wasn’t true to form. All the features listed are in fact present and nothing appears over-sold. The folder upper arm is especially nice for storage, and the single lever for height adjustment works equally well.PerformancePros:- This is a 20-inch mower and it delivered on width and effectiveness. As with any mower, the rotating blade is sufficiently far enough back from the front of the mower that it won’t work right up to a fence head-on, you need to go along the side, where the space lost is only equal to the width of the wheels.- Even given the overgrown grass, working at a steady pace the mower kept up and the electric motor didn’t get bogged down.- The mower has a tie down on one of the cross-bars to attach your electrical cord, with a place to loop the cord, making it impossible to get “unplugged” by sheer tension.- Maneuvering around the cord (not included) was not difficult – it’s just like a vacuum cleaner – all you need to do is establish a pattern that has you working further and further away from the outlet in use and you’ll never dice up your cord.- No more yanking on cords and pulling your shoulder out of its socket. Just push the button (which does not start it, rather it releases the V shaped lever), and pull the V lever up to the pushing handle to start. Very, very easy.- No more noise than a vacuum cleaner, and outside this is very tolerable. Not recommended for your carpet.Cons:- The collection bag is a little small, as is the opening from the back of the mower into the bag. This didn’t appear to be a problem, and the bag was able to keep up with what the mower was feeding it.- Removing the bag is very easy, it’s a little harder to get it back on given the way the hooks are designed to hang on the same bar that acts as a hinge for the back plate.Packaging & Assembly: The mower came inside its retail box, and that was inside a standard cardboard box with a very tight fit. The mower comes with two brackets to the “pusher” assembly, an upper half and a lower half. As packaged, the lower half was folded over the mower, and the upper half was disconnected entirely. The upper portion had to be fit to the lower and the tightness/torque of the quick releases adjusted. This was very simple and allows the upper section to be quickly folded down for storage.Power: My first trial with this mower was on a section of lawn inside a gated area that was overgrown. I set the mower to its maximum height using the adjustment lever, which adjusts the height of all four wheels simultaneously. Power was constant with no hiccups. Ensure you have the proper gauge electrical cord for the length that you intend to use. I use a 14 gauge for 50ft and have had no problems with the cord or mower. Don’t go cheap on a skinny cord or you’ll burn up the cord, the mower, or your house.Price: I purchased this mower at full price in September 2016 for $132.99 plus tax. It was comparable to similar models with similar features.

Good Product but conflicting information and HORRIBLE Customer Service from Greenworks
I ordered product MO60L516. The order process and delivery was good. The item was easy to assemble and it works well. I like how quiet it is and how easy it is to use. Because of the lot terrain I did not get a self-propelled. I do not think I need it or will need it unless I let the grass get too tall. I was also very happy with the quality of cut.The main issue is that Greenworks seem to have the ABSOLUTE WORSE customer service. I have tried calling them 6 times and one time was on hold 60 minutes with no answer. The other times were all over 20 minutes. I have tried the chat feature and was able to get 2 agents on the line out of about 8 tried. Both times were after long waits. The training of the agents does not seem great. One agent insisted that the battery will last close to 60 minutes and the other insisted that it will be closer to 45 minutes. I felt that the information I received contradicted each other and I am now not sure if I will keep the item.I contacted customer service because there are 3 different stated run time for this product. Amazon states up to 60 minutes. Greenworks packaging states up to 45 minutes and their website states both 45 minutes and 50 minutes. The first agent at Greenworks that I chatted with told me it will last a hour and suggested I try it out. Contact them again if I had any issues.This seems like a minor issue but I have a lot that is just under a 1/2 acre including my house so I am mowing much less than a 1/2 acre.I mowed today and got just about 45 minutes before it quit. I mowed 2 days ago so there was barely any growth. I just wanted to test it to see the time I would get. My lot is fairly flat. Today was dry. I had the wheels set higher. In my opinion this is the best scenario for longest run time. I expected better than 45 minutes.To be fully transparent – I chatted with the second agent today and was told that the average is 45 minutes. She made it seem like any more would is not to be expected.Lastly – If I keep the mower I will need to charge in the middle of mowing to get my yard completed. Or the more likely solution is to spend more money on a second battery.Amazon should change the information on this item to reflect what is on Greenworks page. The 45 minutes AVERAGE runtime should be used and specified. I think it is misleading to state “up to 60 minutes.” I would also warn against expecting this mower to cut a 1/2 acre. I think it will be closer to 1/3 acre.

Had it for 7 years now, always dependable and mostly problem free
Was looking for a replacement handle for it and realized I never left a review, so here’s a pretty dang long-term one. I bought this in the spring of 2017, here we are 7 years later and it’s been mostly reliable for all that time, but with some gripes, almost entirely with the handle assembly. It shook bolts out of the lower handle assembly, and as you maneuver the mower around it torques the attachment points, sadly right where the metal on the handle is thinnest and weakest. One side broke a year or two back, I was able to zip tie it back into working condition (along with a broom handle for structural rigidity- it ain’t stupid if it works, right?), but now the other one is going out, and I don’t know if I can keep it chugging along.The mower itself is a champ, I don’t even know if I’d had to sharpen the blade in ages. It’s always started and never given me much in the way of trouble. Even though being tethered to a power outlet is a bit of a pain, I’ll skip that trap and deal with lasso-ing the power cord out of the way and around obstacles instead of buying into a battery ecosystem I really don’t wantI’m almost tempted to buy this exact mower again because it’s been so reliable. The mower itself has been so rock steady I fully believe I could get another 7 years out of it, so I don’t think I’d regret buying the exact same one as a replacement

Works great
I’m am a 80 year-old woman that still mows her good sized yard and I read all the reviews; warts and all. I’ve used the green works corded mower about five times so far and the first two times were through the fresh new spring grass which was fairly long. I needed help unpacking the mower because it was heavy for me but had no problem putting it together. I also ordered the appropriate cord. It mowed very well and it is so very easy to adjust the height with just one hand on the lever. I did check the screws holding the handle on at the base each time since that seem to be an issue with them loosening but I haven’t had any problem. I do have to push the mowers since that is the type it is and as far as the cord goes, you just have to pay attention. It is not as convenient as a gas, but that is what I signed up for. I have to admit that at 80 it does give me a little bit of a workout, but that’s just the way it is. I’m glad I chose the green green works and I do have a couple other green Works tools

Outstanding Product
First time used with great results. This mower performs well for what it is. It’s quiet but not silent as some other reviewer expressed. It’s not for large yards by any means but perfect for little backyard and does well with long grass. Highly recommended!

Mower very good, but not perfect… customer service slow but gets the job done
Fifth update to review: Today is July 15. I received the correct part. Time is very valuable to me and the time I spent dealing with customer service was a lot more than I expected. However, the product is very good, and ultimately the customer service did come through. So 4 stars, I guess.Fourth update to review: Today is Saturday June 25. Bad news: I received the same wrong part I received before. Now I have 3 wrong parts and, worse, I have to pay the shipping to return them. The mower is not useless without the right part, but I can’t mulch without it, so I have to empty the bag frequently. The mowing job is more than twice as long. I would happily pay someone else for the part just to avoid customer service. I have wasted more money in dealing with service than I have paid for the equipment. Ugh. The way I look at it at this point is I paid $193.81 for a mower that worked for 2 years. I think I will give the old mower to goodwill and hope the new one lasts more than 2 years.Third update to review: Today is Monday, June 20. Good news: The rep from Sunrise called me before I had a chance to call them.. so I did not have to wait “on hold.” They promised the correct part would be sent, and gave me a number to a repair shop that can check my mower. The repair shop is 17 miles away, which might seem far but in my area in rural Michigan it’s not that bad. Just fyi… the flap at the back of the mower should not stay up, like in the picture. There are springs at the flap hinge that force the flap to remain closed. Maybe that’s why the plug flew out of its hole. Anyway, at this point I think I would not get a Greenworks mower unless I had a backup mower and enough time to deal with repair shops and and customer service calls. If you’re a busy person, maybe hire a service.Second update to review: Today is Sunday, June 19, 2016. Yesterday I received the wrong parts. I also received a voicemail from Sunrise Tools in Canada. I guess Sunrise Tools does customer service for Greenworks, I was impressed they called on a Saturday morning, but when I returned the call in the afternoon there was no answer… not even voicemail. I will try again tomorrow but I am not looking forward to taking an hour off of work for a broken lawn mower. I have to assume the call will take the better part of an hour since that’s how long the last call took. This problem is so bad that I bought a second mower. I just couldn’t let my lawn overgrow too much longer. The first mower was $193.81. The second mower was $168.54. I bought it at Menards because I needed it that day. Plus I figure 2 hours (so far) of my time for customer service… this mower is getting expensive. I can get a service to mow my lawn for $25 per week. (Saginaw, my area, is a very inexpensive place to live!) It’s about $300-350 per year…. plus I save all the mowing time. I’m starting to think it would be cheaper to just hire the service. The pictures show (1) where the mulching plug goes and (2) the two parts. The top one is the right part (taken from the new mower), the bottom one is what they sent. Maybe they sent the wrong part because they had the wrong manual, I don’t know.Update to review: Today is Tuesday, June 14, 2016. On Monday I waited 19 minutes on hold to talk to someone about getting to get a replacement part called a mulching plug. I had the name and part number ready because I had the manual but the customer service rep (CSR) had a manual older than mine and the part numbers were not the same apparently. When I finally finished the call my cell phone said I had spent 47 minutes. Terrible. A lot of that time was the CSR going back and checking for correct data.I bought this mower July 3, 2014. This review is written June 11, 2016.I never had an electric mower before. Love it. For a small yard without obstructions between the lawn and the power outlet, it’s definitely the way to go. The first year, two of the nuts shook off their bolts. I replaced them with new nuts and no problem since. Just yesterday the plastic mulching plug fell out of its hole (the hole in the back that you can use to catch clippings) and the blade ripped the plug to smithereens.I will call Monday for a new one. The point of this review is: this mower is convenient but it is not 100% maintenance free. It is, however, MUCH less hassle than the gas mowers I’ve owned in the past.

A powerful, yet lightweight, corded lawnmower
This lawnmower performs exactly as described online. It is louder than I had expected, but I can’t complain with the results of its cutting power. I’ve used this mower 4 times thus far.

TIny-boned old lady can mow her tough fields.
I have 2.33 acres. and seldom have to mow due to the drought, but the last two years we have had crazy rain in the late winter and the grass and weeds in my orchards are 2-feet high, while my lawn, which I just mowed a week ago, is back to 8 inches. My mower has done a marvelous job, and is so dependable. I am buying another because a “helpful” but incapable friend broke mine by trying to mow over a big rock and a clump of roots, got the cord tangled up in it, then left it out in the rain. Mowing with this model is also satisfying exercise.

Hits all the marks
I purchased this mower on April 28, 2020. It arrived on May 10, 2020. Good thing it was two-day shipping. Anyways, the mower is pretty incredible. I have had many mowers in my life, all gas powered. But as I shop at the local home improvement warehouses, I see that electric mowers are outselling gas by at least 3-1. There will be ten to twelve electric, some corded, mostly cordless, and only two or three gas powered. So after I completed my new backyard in our new home, I was faced with the decision to go either corded, cordless, or gas, for my mower/blower/trimmer. I pondered for weeks, by candlelight, slippers warming my toes as I sipped brandy and my dog slept near the crackling fire. Then one day my neighbor hollered over the fence and said “Hey, I have a brand new trimmer…keep it in your shed! I got no grass anymore.” So that was the main reason I went corded. Boy am I glad I did. This mower has nothing wrong with it. And I hope and pray, silently, to myself, of course, that it stays as such. OK now for the cold, hard review…Putting it together was a snap. It was so easy I don’t even remember doing it. It has cam locks – little levers that, once adjusted, allow the handle to fold down for storage in seconds. It’s so easy. Also a shining point is the height adjustment. GONE are the days of bending down and cranking a tiny, rusted lever at each wheel that you can barely see, not at all sure which way to torque the damn thing. Eh no, this thing has ONE big lever, clearly marked, on top, in plain view, that a bird could push. Sipping coffee is more difficult.The unit is light. You won’t miss propulsion. Just use your legs.The unit works. I am the type of person who would rather mulch than bag. Call me crazy. Where does the grass go? No man will ever know this and live. But I actually worked for a landscaping company in my teen years, and I recall that we always mulched the clippings and I also recall that the lawns we mowed were dramatic, emerald, rolling expanses owned by Albuquerque’s elite, wealthy one-percenters. So if it was good enough for them…The unit is smooth. My vacuum cleaner makes much more noise and vibrates more than this green shed princess. It feels part hovercraft, part UFO, and just a little bit lawn mower. I can’t even think of it as a lawn mower. That would offend me. It’s amazing.OK, so what else…Oh jeez. Don’t run over the cord. Don’t buy a cord that you can’t see. Don’t put a blindfold on. Flip the cord out of the way. Don’t mow your feet either. Don’t sue because the coffee burned your lap. Yep.So my yard is not small. It’s not big either. It’s a thousand square feet, because that’s how much sod I ordered.So it took so long to come that I borrowed a mower. This one was a fairly antiquated Honda rear-wheel-drive model that weighed 3,267 pounds. So by contrast this thing is like a ping pong ball.Yes it’s been three weeks, three times. We shall see how it overcomes time and the elements. We shall see…

This is a GREAT Lawnmower!
This is a GREAT Lawnmower. I bought one in Aug. 2014 the year I retired and I am still using it here Apr. 2020. Lets see: my lot is approx 80′ X 170′, 80% grass that gets mowed 3-4 times per month from March to November (long season – I live in mid-south). You have to get used to maneuvering with a cord; but, you never have to buy gas or oil. So, whenever you want to mow, just plug it in and go.It’s not as heavy duty/powerful as the avg. gas mower but my lawn is just the average lawn; no week whacking, and since I do it most once every week in the summer and set the blade on a relatively low setting (1.5″ or so) it generally keeps the grass from getting too thick between mowings. Generally… once in a while when we’re having a lot of rain and I’m a day or two late the grass does get thick in one spot of maybe 25′ by 10′. Even that I can do without raising the blade height if I go slow and back up/go forward a bit as needed. If it stalls from too heavy grass I just release the power control, move it back and start again. (stalling the engine has been forgiving – not killed the motor yet – but I quickly cut the power when it binds). One advantage of the mower being of lighter construction than a gas mower is that if I bend the blade on a rock or edging timber I can just take it off, sledge hammer it straight again, sharpen it up a little and put it back on. (sort of like the bumpers on my old Toyota pickup ;)If I had it to do over again I would buy it again. As a matter of fact, I’ve had this thing almost 6 full years now and now that it’s getting old I’m glad to see they’re almost the same price as mine was back in 2014 if I need to buy one. Except this time I already have the cord.Doing the [ballpark] math: 2014: mower $149 + $95 for a better grade cord = $244/66mos = just under $4/mo to own the equipment PLUS add any electricity, which I haven’t noticed on the meter (not a lot). Compare to a gas mower which would have cost me avg $2.50 in gas each (1gal) mo X 46 months (excluding non-mowing winter) = $115 + $300 for a decent mower = $415/66mos = just over $6/mo over same time frame (except all of my metal mowers, in the past, have rotted out within 4 years due to the humidity down here so would have been more like $10/mo over 4 years for me, instead of almost 6).So, for me $4 vs. $10/mo (also, having no hassle getting gas once a month before I can start is a BIG PLUS to me). My choice: I’ll use electric. Not as powerful or easy to maneuver as gas mowing; but, once you get used to slinging the cord around, a heck of a lot cheaper, and energy use is almost non-existent. Just try NOT to run over the cord. (I’ve been very careful and not, but had 4-5 close calls in the past 5+years – there’s always electricians tape if you do – I haven’t been so lucky with my hedge trimmer cord :)) ). Hope this helps.Book version soon to be released! :))Mark

Mows well, good for light duty use
I have used this twice (once a week) and have been pleased with it for the most part. It is light weight and cuts my typical residential yard as one would expect. I have some “trash grass” (I don’t know what it’s called, but it grows super fast) in my back yard that creates clumps of dense, high growth (even after just a week!). This area did slow the mower down. I ended up tilting the mower deck up then when the motor was at speed again lowering it back down. A few times of this and it seemed to do the trick. The manual recommends cleaning it out (no water!!!) after use. It is easy to flip to the side (unplugged of course) and then I use my leather gardening gloves to clean out the residue that accumulated under the deck.For actual usage. Other reviewers recommended a heavy duty extension cord for 100 feet. I needed the 100 feet, so got one of those at the same time. There is a loop thing on the center bar of the mower that you are supposed to push a loop of the cord through and then it goes over a hook, to prevent unplugging. Well, the heavy duty cord doesn’t fit through the loop! Not really that big of a deal as I essentially held the cord between my hand and the bar while mowing. As previously mentioned (by other reviewers), once you figure out a decent mowing pattern it’s fairly simple to mow with the cord. One thing I did not like is the heavy duty cord is HEAVY. This is extra weight you have to drag around while mowing (the mower is light and easy to maneuver otherwise). I also found that it would sometimes drag to near the edge of where I needed to mow. I tried “flipping” it over to the side, out of the way, but the cord was too heavy. I ended up “flipping” and then tugging to make sure it was clear of the mower deck.Assembly–pretty intuitive (I didn’t have to look at the manual. basically, you just pull it out of the box and unfold the handle (one of the pictures shows it folded up for storage–this is about how it comes). No tools needed. One thing I didn’t figure out until after my first mowing, it comes with the mulch plug installed. After removing that it did a OK job of bagging. I looked under the deck (while cleaning) and the blade mounts to what looks like a plastic round fan (two plates, about 2″ apart, with a lot of fins between them), I assume this is what is used to blow the grass into the bag–it’s really not powerful enough to blow all the grass into the bag. I also had to keep an eye on the bagger, more than about 1/2 full and the grass stops flowing into it and it starts mulching.This mower comes with a 4 year warrantee, so I’m hoping it lasts that long. I attempted to register the mower with the website and they require you to enter the date of purchase. I entered the date at least 6 different ways, and it would not accept my registration due to “date format error” As it wouldn’t provide information on what the correct format is I have no idea what I did wrong. I submitted a feedback form on their website over a week ago and have yet to hear from them. So, in all good conscience I just can’t give this mower 5 stars, although I do really like it.Nov 15 update: This mower got me through the summer, no problems. It was great to just pull out and use. No fooling with the spark plugs, gas and what not to get it operational. I look forward to many more great years with this work horse.

Exceeded my expectations
To be honest, my expectations weren’t very high to begin with because I borrowed an old corded 18″ Sunbeam when my gas mower gave up the ghost last year and navigating with a cord was a hassle. I bought a new gas mower this year, but reviews for the new engines (finicky carbs & no user controls) worried me a little, so I decided to get an electric as a backup. I considered Li-ion cordless, but they were a lot more expensive, usually smaller, and replacement batteries cost about $100 and only last a few years.That’s when I found this little gem for a great price. The reviews were generally good, so I bought one.I do not expect this mower to fully replace a gas mower, especially when the grass is heavy and/or wet. So far I’ve used it four times because the grass isn’t growing at full speed yet (cold spring). But so far the Greenworks 25022 is exceeding my expectations.I like this mower a lot more than that old Sunbeam. First, 20″ is noticeably better than 18″ – it’s almost the same width as my gas mower (21″). I was a little concerned if a 12 amp motor was powerful enough for a 20″ blade, but so far so good. Second, it’s lighter and easier to push – the large back wheels are great. We have a fairly level yard and I feel no need for self propulsion. And third, it does a decent job mulching (since my town doesn’t pick up clippings). I have not tried the bag or side discharge. Other niceties include a single lever height adjustment and a handle that quickly folds in half to save a little space in the garage.As for navigating with the cord, I’m getting better at it. I’m tending to mow backwards more. That way I don’t have to cross over the cord on each pass (Warning: Watch that you don’t back over your toes if you use this method). Oh, and always mow away from the outlet. I’m using a 50′ 16 gauge / 13 amp extension cord with no problems (actually, it even worked with a 100′ 16 gauge cord, but it’s not recommended).Overall, it doesn’t feel as heavy duty as a burly gas mower, but it looks fairly well made and has a 4 year warranty so I expect many years out of it. Time will tell. I also expect to use this mower more than I originally intended. I bought it as a spare, but now my plan is to use it in early spring when the grass is starting to grow, then switch to the gas mower for the summer when it gets heavy, then switch back to the electric at the end of the season when the grass is light again. Not only will this allow me to delay buying gas in the spring to keep it as fresh as possible (all new gas mowers recommend not using gas over 30 days old or adding a stabilizer), but it will also let me easily run the gas mower dry before the winter (which is also strongly recommended now). That way I won’t have to try to time it with the final mowing of the season – I’ll simply switch to the electric whenever it quits.One final observation: We have a fairly small and level yard (Cape Cod house). A 50′ cord is just long enough to cover it (with outlets in the front and back). And we don’t have many obstacles (trees, shrubs, gnomes, fountains, junk cars, etc.). If you have a large yard with a lot of obstacles, any kind of electric probably isn’t right for you. But for our yard, it’s great. Who knows, maybe I won’t even replace the gas mower when that dies.

Perfect mower
I love this mower. It’s my first electric one. Granted, moving a long cord around is a bit annoying, but it sure beats having gas go bad over time and yanking a starter cord. This guy starts right up and does the job. I have a small, but not tiny backyard. This 20″ model is absolutely fine. It’s relatively light weight, though not something I really want to be lifting. That the handle folds down is really helpful in saving space. I used it last year and am getting ready to do my first mow of the season. I really like how reliable it is. I would not say that it is significantly quieter than a gas mower.

Happy So Far
I ordered this mower and once it arrived I found the shipping box was taped but the interior box was not (it hadn’t been opened, it just had never been taped closed on top to begin with) which had me a little concerned. I found everything was included in the box and it looked like it had not been touched since it was packed at the factory. The product box fit snuggly without any gap between it and the shipping box.The assembly was very easy, amounted to screwing on the handle bars and handle bar clamps which allow the handlebars to fold down. Everything looked new and unused.I have used it three times so far. It is my first electric mower and I was surprised by how light it was compared to the gas mowers I’ve had before.I have had some difficulty adjusting to having a power cord. The first time I used it I kept stepping on the cord and unplugging the mower. The second and third time, I did not have this issue and I have found that mowing away from the power cord works better than mowing towards it (kind of obvious in retrospect) but it was the opposite direction that I am accustomed to mowing my yard. I am getting used to having a cord though so I’m adapting to that.It adjusts height surprisingly easily. I have had gas mowers that were single lever adjustable but this is the easiest and lightest to change heights. It is not self-propelled but I don’t really notice that unless I’m already tired and only then when first start moving again after changing directions. Once I’m going I don’t even notice it.My yard is fairly flat outside a few valleys caused by water run off and has few obstacles to mow around (just a tree here and there and the water meter thing near the curb).It is quieter than a gas mower, but not as quiet as I was expecting. I am very much enjoying not having to worry about oil or put gas in the mower before mowing.The mower collapses down quiet compact and the bag rests nicely on top maybe an inch higher than the mower and the handlebar does not extend beyond the wheels when folded down.The bag when full is not as heavy as some gas powered mower bags I’ve had to empty. However I have tested the mulch and side shoot options both of which work well.The mower is very easy to start, I’ve had electric start gas powered mowers and was a little nervous about buying an all-electric mower due to having bad experiences with the electric starts going out or not working after a couple uses. So far this one has given me no issues.After mowing, when I clean the mower I tilt the mower up on its front wheels and have noticed that the front of the mower bed (the metal part that is painted green in the pictures) will touch the concrete. I like it that it makes contact to prevent the mower from rolling making tilting it up like that easy. But I wish they had a rubber pad across the front so that the metal and paint didn’t touch the concrete driveway. I’m going to visit a home improvement store or something to see if I can find something to stick on there one of these days to protect the paint.Overall I am happy with my purchase and recommend it. As of this moment I would buy it again. If I encounter future issues with it I will do another review with the update.

A VERY pleasant surprise!!
I got this mower for a “junk” mower to trim a river lot (electric is available at some lots) so I would not have to haul around a can of gas and a heavy gas engine mower. I had no doubt that – being electric – this mower wouldn’t have the same power as a gas engine, but for a small lot that didn’t have to look “perfect” and that I could take all day to mow, I thought it would be perfect. Which it is.Only problem is, I won’t TAKE it to the river lot, because I gave it at “trial run” at my house when I got it, and now I want it for my home!! THIS THING IS A LITTLE WORKHORSE!!!!! It’s not as heavy as a gas engine mower (maybe), but it’s still hefty enough – doesn’t bounce all over the yard. The starting and stopping of the electric motor is my absoloute favorite part – OH my WORD, how wonderful! As everyone said in other reviews, you kind of need to work out a pattern to keep yourself from running over the cord. Only problem is, I am not bright enough to do that, apparently……….I was constantly cornering myself with the cord. BUT – I would mow full-blast right up to the cord, let go of the handle, and it instantly shut off. I’d continue pushing it over the cord while it was off, give the cord a little backwards “kick”, push the button to INSTANTLY turn it back on full blast, give a little backwards pull of the mower to get the spot where the cord was, and then I’d go on mowing again. I even cut weeds that my riding mower couldn’t get to behind the house that I had been too lazy to go back and weedeat (HEY – it was way behind the house. No one could see them. Don’t you judge me.), and it bogged down no more than a regular gas mower would have – a slight slowing of the motor and then wide open again once it ate them down to the desired height. I’m talking a patch of grass and weeds so high I LITERALLY lifted the front wheels off the ground and sat the mower down on top of them rather than try to push into them, they were THAT tall and dense (HEY- I SAID don’t you judge me!), and it made short work of them in no time. The wheel adjustment is ALSO awesome – one easy push with one hand and the mower deck slid up and down with absoloute ease – no “struggle to get the control out of one level and into another on one wheel, then go do the same fight on the other, and PRAY you got them both on the same mark”…..both wheels adjust with next to no effort at the same time. The cutting width is HUGE for a small push mower, and it seems like the blades cut right up to the edge of the shield – it cut WAY closer than either my riding mower or my prior push mower, and it was a great, even cut. No “little tufts still standing in the turns” with it. I didn’t use the bag, can’t comment on it yet.SOOO, overall – for the money??? OH yes. I would buy this mower again in a heartbeat.Which I may have to do, since I still have no mower for the river lot, and this one doesn’t seem to be going there as a “junk” mower any time soon after all.

Works good
I had over 12 inches of grass. It plowed right through and actually mulched. It didn’t leave rows of dead grass on top of the cut grass. LOVE that.Only complaint is that it’s heavier than my 16 in and leaves pretty deep ruts in the grass. It’s not a deal breaker. I figure when I’m able to cut it shorter that this will be less evident.I got sick and I didn’t realize I had left my 16 in uncovered. When I went out to mow I found it had been in the rain. It wouldn’t start. Sad face. It was 5 years old and only cost $100. I figured I had gotten my monies worth, so I ordered this new one. I put the old one under shelter to dry out. When the new one arrived I tried the old 16 in, just in case. To my joy, it fired right up. So now I have two lawnmores. 😁 Getting it from the back to the front has always been a hassle due to elevation. So now I can store one up and one down, and my first world problem is solved.Greenworks are very reliable. I highly recommend.

I’m in love with this mower
The media could not be loaded.
I FINALLY did it!!! Decided to go battery powered.I have acre of slopes and hills with a courtyard. This mower is magical. The 25 inch cutting deck is impressive. The mower is so smooth, the pull speed is slow to fast and even has a turbo (blade speed) option for thicker grass/leaf areas. I used the mulching option for the initial cut. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The battery life lasted longer than I thought it would. I was out there on a full charge well over an hour… and some of that time was me playing around figuring things out. The battery indicator flashes as it’s getting low on juice… even then it gave me another 20 mins before a loud beep and shutting off. The battery charger is louder than the mower (that’s how smooth this thing runs)But charges pretty quickI was on the fence for years about getting a non gas mower. I’m so happy

Very sturdy, powerful, and a great deal
I’ve used corded electric mowers for almost 20 years. This is a good one. If you are new to electric mowers, make sure you have cords rated for the amperage of your motor. If you use thin/light duty extension cords you will burn out the motor after a couple of years. People tell me that they don’t want corded mowers because they worry about cutting the extension cord. That has never happened to me. The corded mowers are a lot cheaper than gas or battery mowers, easy to start, no fussy gas engine to deal with, no batteries giving out before the lawn is done, and they start up every spring as soon as you turn them on. This particular mower has a good design. I’ve used it for two seasons now. One nut on the handle came loose, and fell off, but it was easily replaced. Otherwise, very pleased.

Mower
I am impressed so far with the first time mowing. It’s easy to assemble and easy to start. I have half an acre to mow with lots of obstacles. So the hassle came with using an extension cord. But once you get the hang of it, it went quickly. Hope it continues to perform as it did.

Great Mower
I bought this mower three years ago. We live in a wet environment so the grass is high in the spring. This mower doesn’t even hesitate to power through the tall grass. I’m over 70 (and under 5 feet) and this mower works great for me. Because it’s electric I don’t have to deal with filling it with gas. Managing the cord isn’t a problem.
