Greenworks 48V 17" Battery-Powered Cordless Lawn Mower

Bill Showler: Used it for the final mow of the season to cut the lawn but also to vacuum up the leaves with the bag ... worked well!

Lisa: Highly recommend this product. Does a fantastic job on my hilly small/medium size yard. The power and variability is amazing for the money, and I can easily mow my entire yard a few times on one charge. The foldable handle is extremely helpful for storing away in the garage.

Eric: If you have a relatively small lawn this thing is great, easy to start, and easy to move around since it is so light to push around. However, if you have a large lawn and you cannot cut it all in 30-40 minutes it is a massive pain if the battery runs out before you finish. Also, sometimes if the grass is very long it can struggle to cut it.

overall, recommended for small lawns

Agathe Bolduc: J'ai un petit terrain 80 ×110' j'ai manqué de batterie pour le quart de mon terrain.
J'ai du rechargé et finir le lendemain.
Qualité des batteries à revoir.

AllOverAllOver: Bought this mower to replace my 10 year old Greenworks cordless that finally died. I tried everything to fix it. Both batteries were still good. Shame really.
I wanted cordless and brushless motor, this seems to match those parameters.
PROS:
Lightweight, Brushless motor, compact (for storage). Easy to use rear bag. Lithium Ion batteries that don't develop a "memory".
CONS:
No side discharge.
Fussy height adjustment (more on that later).
Motor seems to run at full RPMs all the time! Not a variable speed motor.
My old Greenworks adjusted the motor speed according to the load (very efficient).
Noisier than my old Greenworks.
It does NOT have a second set of batteries!
My old Greenworks required only 1 - 40V battery to work and it came with a spare. (I was able to cut BOTH front and back lawns on one battery.

Random thoughts:
Wheels are smaller and don't seem as sturdy as my old Greenworks. The green decorative plastic behind the front wheels was missing on one side.
Height adjustment is a poor design. Mine did not work on arrival. I had to use silicone spray to lubricate the mechanism from below the mower (2 metal rods slide against white...

Devon C.: Bought this to finally replace my gas powered lawn mower. Previously I had a few different gas mowers fail on me, so I figured I should try something new. So far, this thing has been working great for us.

The battery life seems to be pretty decent. However, I have noticed I can only mow one lawn at a time, ie front or back. Then I have to go and charge the batteries again before mowing again. This isn't a deal breaker for us because mowing both front and back is typically a lot to do at once.

This mower also didn't come with a bag, which I didn't notice in the description at first. However, this hasn't been a problem at all. Surprisingly, the mulching of the grass has been working fine and we barely notice it due to the fineness of the cut grass.

Overall this mower has been a great value and I am glad I bought it. I may update this review in the future to add details about the battery life if it starts to go down in quality over time.

Roberto: Funziona bene, peccato che il mio prato non sia perfettamente piano per cui essendo leggero non riesce a tenere un taglio stabile.

Bob Nelson: I was not expecting much in the way of quality when I ordered the Greenworks 12 Amp 18" Corded Electric Lawn Mower from Amazon. In the past I would have gone to Sears, Target, Lowes or Home Depot for a new lawnmower. But most of the options at those establishments were much more expensive battery powered electric lawnmowers, and I was not interested in the limited power, limited battery life and expense of replacement rechargeable batteries associated with such mowers. I already had the 100 ft. high-gauge power cord used with my previous electric lawnmower (which recently broke after 25 years of use), so the only expense for a new corded lawnmower would by the mower itself.

After receiving the Greenworks Corded Electric Lawn Mower from Amazon, I was immediately impressed by how well-built it was with a heavy-gauge metal main housing and metal handle assembly. Even the plastic parts are solidly made. The easy to follow assembly instructions made short work of putting the handle together and I was soon ready to cut my lawn (which was somewhat overgrown in areas that I couldn't mow after my previous electric mower broke down).

Mi-ami: I have a fairly small front lawn and lower end of medium sized back lawn. This works perfectly for me. I purchased in early Spring last year and am now starting my second season of mowing. The batteries get a full recharge after only a couple of hours, and how long they last depends on how tall your grass is. There has only been twice that I had to stop for a recharge, once was when my grass was fairly tall during a 'first mow of the season', the other was wanting to test the batteries and was using them on a second mow a week after the first- to which they nearly lasted the whole time. The mower is very easy to assemble, light to maneuver and leaves a very nice cut on the lawn. My lawn isn't perfectly level, and after having a gas-powered mower with a self-propelling feature, I had to get used to the mower not just moving naturally over the uneven ground, but the mower is so light it was just that, something to get used to. It actually takes me less time now to mow my lawns, and is easier with the light weight of the mower. I charge the batteries in-between each mow to ensure I have enough battery and have never had an issue. I highly recommend this mower.

Amazon Customer: Have used this mower 3 times and it has performed well so far. It’s light weight, which is important on my steeply sloped yard. It is very maneuverable which is helpful mowing around objects. I’ve been using it in mulching mode and it leaves a nice clean cut grass surface and battery charge has lasted well over 30 minutes, which is enough to complete my yard.
The only complaints I have are:
I’ve had debris/projectiles hit my right ankle twice already. I’m not sure how the deck height on this mower compares to my older gas mower, but suspect because it is substantially lighter that it may ride a bit higher, allowing a small gap. Both projectiles were small sticks or pine cone shards, or similar. No injuries or anything, just a surprise when it happened.
The handle is much narrower than my previous gas mower, which is not a big deal, but feels “wrong”.
My gas mower lasted me 27 years...I’m hoping this cordless mower and batteries will last me at least 5 years.
