Greenworks 40V 21" Self-Propelled Mower,Axial Leaf Blower,12" String Trimmer with Batteries and Chargers

I posted two before and one after picture. I purchased the Greenworks 40V 21 inch, self-propelled mower, blower, and edger bundle. I have a half acre of land so it took me approximately 4 hours (putting lines in the yard) to cut my lawn.My yard looks fabulous. The mower is quiet, very light weight, and makes a clean cut.It is true that when putting mower in reverse, you need to gently pull back, wait about five seconds and pull back again. You will know when the mower is in reverse mode as it will pull back with ease and you will see the wheel handle move and make soft clicking noise.I also found that letting up off of the handle slightly will send you in reverse mode faster than simply waiting.When cutting around trees and smaller areas, I release the self-propelled mode because it goes really fast. When in self-propelled mode, ease up off the self-propelled handle to slow the mower down. It goes a lot faster than my old gas mower.The 2.0 battery only lasts about 45 minutes. The 4.0 battery lasts 1-2 hours depending on the charge. I use one abbey while the other is charging and then switch.Instead of paying $159 for two more batteries, I am purchasing the pole saw and the trimmer, which will come with another battery and charger. The batteries work in all of Greenworks products. I absolutely love this. The amount of money I save by doing my own lawn and trimming my own trees with user friendly, green products that is female friendly is priceless.I am a 59 year old female who have had back and other major surgeries, but Greenworks products are so light that I can use them with ease. This may be due to the fact that they are made of durable plastic, including the blade on the mower.If the mower cuts off or you temporarily cut it off, be sure to power it up again. If you press the self propel and the power handle, the mower appears to turn back on, however, I questioned whether it was actually cutting as self-propelled works even when the mower is off.The mower holds two batteries at a time. Therefore, I will use two 4ah batteries moving forward as the mower will automatically switch to the second battery after the first one dies giving you uninterrupted cut time.I noticed that Greenworks makes higher powered batteries, which can extend my uninterrupted cut time. I plan to purchase at least one.

I love this mower! It cuts and mulches very nicely. Easy to put together. Easy to start. Height adjustments made simply. No gas or electric cords to get in the way. It has a second storage spot in the battery compartment for a spare battery so when the first dies, you can easily swap it out and keep mowing. I have a relatively small yard and the battery does the whole yard plus some for the next mow. I recommend getting a large spare battery to have ready to go. Eco friendly! Not very loud for a mower and easily maneuverable.

I'm a cupcake reviewer and 99/100 times my reviews are positive because I only look for the positive in products and services that I pay for, but...Garbage product. Absolute waste of $600+. I have a big yard, but it's pretty well divided in 4 small areas between 50-150 square yards each piece. A fully charged battery to give me enough juice for the mower to cut even one section, not even the smallest one. I had to buy extra batteries just to be able to cut my lawn, and the batteries don't hold a charge! I charged them fully last Sunday when I finished mowing, ser then aside in preparation for mowing this weekend... All dead. I got 5 minutes out of two batteries.Then with the string trimmer... It doesn't auto-feed and the strings break after 2-3 minutes of trimming. Had to buy a blade attachment to be able to trim.Money pit. If you buy this garbage, be prepared to buy 14 extra batteries and a bunch of extra chargers and accessories for them to work evenly close to what you need them to be.

Good stand up storage solution. Cuts grass decently, but note that it is less battery efficient than the old two motor Greenworks mower. A 4 amp hour mow with the two motor model may take 5 amp hours with this one. Also it's more of a workout to push up hills than the old two motor mower. I'm assuming it's a bit heavier, but I haven't verified that.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Had one before. Really pleased with it.

I have been using battery mowers for over 20 years and a mixture of gas and corded electric before that. This mower performs well. I opted for the steel deck version as it was the most basic overall design. I don't need lights and other bells and whistles. I would however like the option of having the extra battery storage being wired too so that when the primary battery dies the secondary kicks in so you have uninterrupted run time. Battery life is impressive though. The motor has no problem with tall grass the torque is impressive as well. I would definitely recommend buying this mower. It is heavy so if that is a concern you may want to opt for the plastic deck models.I'm giving three stars because out of the box the included battery was defective. It will not take a charge. I have other greenworks batteries and chargers so I was able to use them. I will contact support to see about getting a replacement battery and if that goes well will update my review accordingly.
