Greenworks (18") 24-Volt Rechargeable Cordless 2-In-1 Self Propelled Lawn Mower

My first mow was a dream, what a change from gas!!

I charged the battery overnight, then took the mower shell out of the packing box and moved it onto the lawn. Dropped the battery in the top slot of the mower, locked it in place. I adjusted 1 lever to change the setting for all the wheels. To start it, I pushed 1 button, 1 time, pulled up the starting bar, and it started to whirl like a quiet fan. To go, I pulled the self propelled bale bar, and away we went! Quiet, steady, and I think cooler, and so clean. Did not throw dirt and debris like my gas mower did. (Blade was very sharp, and really cut my grass, did not pull it off the blade)

Rear wheel drive was different to get used to, had to anticipate the turns a little, but if I got going too much in a turn, I just released the self propel bar and it took power off the wheels so I could turn it manually.

Very well thought out design, and so simple in concept. Not like you grandmothers' Gen 1 corded electric mower from the 70's. This is the real world of electric power.

My first spring mow in Florida was a real nice experience. Can't wait to use it again.

This the first electric mower I've ever owned. I live in the northern central Oklahoma, not that its much different from anywhere else. My lawn isn't just one type of grass but 2 or 3 that are mixed in together.

When my mower arrived I was surprised at how nice this green machine looked. I hadn't realized that it had cam locks on the handle for quick folding ability for storing and transporting. A very nice feature. Charging is very easy in or out of the mower as stated. I have only charged this battery once and as I write have finally put it on the charger for the second time. I've mowed with it three times and decided to charge it to keep it fresh for the next use. Mind you I don't mow the whole yard with this mower as I bought it for getting where the rider doesn't get.

I was concerned at first when a couple of reviews had mentioned that the self propel was faster than they cared for, due to their age. I'm a 56 year old male with COPD and found it quite easy to keep up with, and easy enough to push when not using the self propel. The one thing I found that could be improved on would be the rear wheels. These could be larger as I find it very easy to hang up on uneven terrain, I use the number 2 setting for mowing. Speaking of wheel setting the one lever adjustment is a joy to use and easy.

Another thing I found was that in areas where the grass grows faster than other grasses it does tend to bog down quite easy as opposed to a gas mower in the same situation. A quick lift to let the motor regain its RPMs and its good to go.

Would I buy another? In a minute. Although I would buy the 36 volt if I were to mow the whole lawn, to avoid the bogging down that can occur with the 24 volt. I have shown and recommended this mower to friends and family to consider when it comes time for them to replace or buy a new mower.

Received my mower and charged the battery. I was mowing my yard as soon as the indicator indicates it was charged and ready to go. What a pleasure to be able to mow my yard without filling it with gas & oil and pull a cord to start it.

I have mowed my front and back yards with no problems twice now. I am very happy so far. Will see how this works out during this season??? Hope we continue with this machine to work as well. So far, so good.

This mower seems well built and cuts well. It is quite heavy because of the large battery. The speed control is very awkward to engage and has only one forward speed which is fairly fast. It would be better if it were more variable. Too soon to tell how the battery will last, although the unit seems to have adequate power for a small yard.

I have approximately 1/5 Acre of varying terrain (self propel is a must) and grass types. After the first full charge I mowed and bagged the back yard on 6 then mowed (& bagged) the front and back again on 4. I still had 1 green light left on the battery when I was finished. I have since mowed (& bagged) 2 more times with no problems. I haven't used the mulching feature yet. I will admit the rear wheel drive took a little getting use to in the turns as I have had a FWD for the last 12 years. Also, it does start quickly when the drive is engaged but settles into a comfortable pace after a few minutes. I can mow & bag my yard in just under 1 hour, not including trimming and edging. The battery charges quickly. The 1st charge takes 15 hours but the last 2 times I plugged the battery in before I left for work and it was ready to go when I got home. I grew up with a corded electric mower and have also used gas powered riding and push mowers and this mower is by far my favorite.
Mowers Direct also gets 5 stars. The price was $50.00 cheaper than the one I saw at Lowes (plus no sales tax and free shipping) It even arrived 1 day earlier than scheduled.

My first time around was a disaster. It was like the wheels wouldn't go around. That is one wheel wouldn't go around. Why not, well let's take it off and see. Drive gear was not engaging wheel teeth. This is no good. Let's take off the other wheel. Why was it driving? No idea, call service. Took it in to service. No idea. We'll check it out. Call next day, "pins not in drive gear where are we now? Pins on order, but are not in stock right now. We will ship when they come in. Meanwhile my grass keeps growing. Hope pins come in soon.

Easy to handle and clean. Cuts well and I love the fact that I don't have to smell gas and oil all day.

If your grass is high or damp the mower tends to stall so if I could pick over I 'd buy a stronger mower, but I am happy with this mower.

Love our new mower. Works great. Mows the whole lawn. Quiet and runs great.

The one thing that I'm still trying to figure out is how to turn the mower while it's on self-propel without it yanking my arm.

Very happy and very satisfied.

This mower is perfect for my small yard. I've used it 5 times and have had no issues.

Just wish it had an air conditioner or sprinkler!

The mower does a very good job - easy height adjustment - pulls itself very well, but is heavy and hard to push by hand. Have not used the bagger yet however, the mulcher does very well. It has plenty of power to mow my entire yard - front
and back, approximately 2400 sq. ft.

Suggestions to improve the mower: "crazy wheels" on front for ease in turning corners, etc. a lithium battery would be lighter in weight and easier to maneuver. BEST FEATURE: No hard starts, no gas engine, and no gas pollution! The price is right for the quality of mower.

Greenworks (18") 24-Volt Rechargeable Cordless has been a great mower, mulches and bags no problem. Use it in Florida, with heavy lawn and it works like a dream.

Battery is HEAVY - it is most of the weight of the mower.

My neighbors envy me now. :-)
