Q: This looks pretty good but tell me, what is the mulching plug? I do not see it listed in the accessories?? by Anonymous on September 24, 2011
A: The mulching plug is included with the mower. The mulch plug goes in the discharge chute opening and creates additional air flow under the mower deck to help the blade cut the clippings into finer, smaller pieces by Todd, Product Expert
Q: Can I use an extension cord with the lawn mower cord? My yard is small, but my only outlet is on the back of my house. by Cheryl from Florida on June 12, 2011
A: Cheryl - you HAVE to use an extension with this electric mower. The mower does not come with a power cord. You can use a 16-gauge outdoor rated extension cord if you only need 40 feet or less to reach the edges of your yard. If you need more than 40 feet of extension cord to reach the edges of your yard, you should use a 14-gauge outdoor rated extension cord. by Todd, Product Expert
Q: You just answered someone that "this mower is not mulch capable". However, in the reviews area you stated, " but it will mulch in addition to the standard side discharge." Which is it? Even the Home Depot site says it's a mulching mower. that is one of the positives I liked when reading about the mower.

A: Hi Janet - The Greenworks 25012 mower has a 2-in-1 mowing deck that allows the user to either discharge the grass clippings out from the side of the deck, or mulch the grass clippings by inserting the mulch plug (included with the mower) in the side discharge chute. by Todd, Product Expert
Q: does the power cord come with it or do i need to purchase separately? by Anonymous on April 26, 2011
A: The power cord would have to be purchased seperately. GreenWorks does not add one because they don't want the added expense due to some people already having cords.
At 60 years young, I've used a few mowers over the years, but never an electric one until now. Since we have a very small patch of lawn in our backyard to mow and I was tired of messing with a gas mower and a reel push mower (that broke after one season), I decided to try this one. I've used it twice now here in Portland, Oregon where it rains once in a while. So, the grass was not bone dry and was several inches long and the mower mulched with no problem at all.
Does a very good job! The first time I used it I was wondering where all the grass was going. Sure, there was a very small amount that had accumulated around inside the deck, but it still was not what I have seen with other mowers I'd used before. I just tipped it on side and with disposable gloves cleaned out most of the grass.

Great Mower
I only got to use it 2 times since I got it due to all the rain we have been getting in my part of the country. Beats the snow though! Works just great! Because of only getting a chance to cut my yard twice this year so far the grass gets kinda high before we dry out enough to cut. Goes through the tall grass and cuts well. Makes my yard look great! Best looking yard in the neighborhood. Cost of fuel - NOTHING. Got To Love It!

Greenworks Mower is Easy to Use
I love how easy it is to work with. I am sure I will get better with the cord. The biggest issue I have is getting the pattern down so I do not have to stop all the time to work around the cord. But each mow gets better.
It works great and mulches wonderfully. My only complaint is the plastic flap on the back to keep things from flying up already has tears in it. It sticks under the mower with any reverse motion so I can see it will be gone before the end of summer. This has been a good buy.

Use
I have used it twice and has worked as expected. It does a great job mowing. A good thing I researched all mowers available. As of now I am very happy with the mower.

My husband is reading -
I'm 82 - female and in fairly good shape - maybe even mentally. I found the mower easy to put together and easy to use. I was looking for a lightweight mower as I have a gardener. He shows up a bit later than the grass decides to grow so I usually mow once or twice before he starts for the summer.
In Washington - with the rain - cold - then warming and dry - weather the grass grows when it wants to. So the mower seems fine and I am happy with it.

Powerful Electric Mower!!
Don't we all wonder if it's going to be as good as it's advertised? Well, here's one that is everything they say it is!!!
This mower is quiet, powerful and impressive! I put it on the lowest height adjustment and it cut grass like a gas-powered mower!
I winter in Florida and wanted something electric, not gas-powered. This is it! The neighbors are impressed too! Finally, something that does what it's advertised to do!! Thank you for a fine product!

2nd Electric Mower
Long story short. The positives: The mower works as advertised, no problem in assembling the handle and the mower started immediately and performed well. I use it in mulch mode so I have no knowledge of how the grass catcher works.
The negatives: The mower was shipped without the knob for the height adjustment lever. After calling the number included in the owners manual a lever and knob were shipped to me.
From the very beginning, the lever refused to stay in any of the height slots but the middle one. I attempted to use the new lever but it made the problem worse as it is shorter than the original lever.
I finally used the original lever with the knob and ended up having to use a bungee cord to hold the lever in the desired height slot.
Lessons learned: While it's a pain to have to manually adjust each wheel, it's far better than a system that does not work. Never again will I purchase a mower with this system for height adjustment.
After all, once I discover the right cutting height for my lawn I doubt I'll need to change it.
I'm disappointed with the workmanship and with this height adjustment system.
