Greenworks (21") 80-Volt Lithium-Ion 3-In-1 Cordless Electric Lawn Mower (with Battery & Charger)

I wanted to purchase an electric mower to lower our family's carbon foot print, with our 3/4 acre property it had to be a cordless version. In late 2016, things finally came together and I was able to purchase the Greenworks 80v Pro, with the 4ah battery.

This is the best mower I have owned, period. And there is no comparison to the mower it replaces, a Poulan Pro 6.25 hp with California emissions package. It is superior quality, cuts and mulches way better, and has extra features that are really convenient once you experience them.

For example, the quiet operation, upright storage and single lever height adjustment weren't huge boxes to check off for me when comparing, but now that I have it I love them.

The steel deck makes the mower heavier than I expected, but I also feel that it is built to last and will be worth the extra effort in the long run. It is somewhat lighter than the gasoline mower. Our property is big, has steep hills and takes 3 or 4 hours to mow. This mower handles it no problem.

The 4ah battery lasts up to 1 hour, and takes a full 45 minutes to charge. I used to mow the lawn straight through, but now I will take a break to charge my batteries and the mower's. I can also do other work around the yard. I do have to charge the battery twice, which means that the battery lasts slightly longer than a full tank of gas on the old mower, which I had to fill 3 times with normal length grass.

The automatic power adjustment is fantastic. You save battery charge on thinner or shorter areas, and the mower absolutely never chokes out, even in heavy grass. The mower also mulches much better than any of my gasoline mowers ever did.

Great job Greenworks, and I am going to buy the trimmer with battery as soon as possible.

Note -- I am actually located in Costa Rica, the review says Oregon, which has a similar climate (in summer, coastal Oregon)
