New Green Machine Battery Electric Lawn Mower - Full Review

[@mendozadavid95]

Probably the best review so far on this mower, I’m currently on the fence on buying one.

[@TheLawnMentor]

Thank you! It really depends on your yard layout and how often you have to turn. Overall, it’s a solid unit. I might even suggest the non-self propelled unit if you don’t mind pushing and don’t have a ton of leaves.

[@dantownsend761]

Same right now. Did you end up getting it and if so what do you think?

[@chrisfisher3900]

Just picked up the non self propelled guess I will soon find out

[@rubenharris9241]

Kudos to Green Machine for allowing real transparency on their product. This is becoming rare amongst the lawn care community. Everything has pros and cons (including the stuff I own and love). This kind of honesty is greatly appreciated. Thank you Lawn Mentor and GM!

[@TheLawnMentor]

I just want to say when I incurred the “issue” with the self propel, I did reach out to them to give them a chance to make it right. However they let me know it is actually normal expected function. So, take it or leave it I guess! Still a solid unit.

[@LawnNOrder]

Great review Kyle. I like the honest and to the point opinions you added about the mower. 👊😎🌴

[@TheLawnMentor]

Thanks Chris! I appreciate the support

Nice honest review. Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

Nice honest review...there's obviously some things that need further development but I'm sure they will take note and improve

[@TheLawnMentor]

Have you had an issue with the sensor that shuts off the mower if the grass is too thick? Mine is extremely sensitive and doesn't want to stay on long enough to mulch even leaves on the ground. I had a hard time when I got my mower and don't like contacting them because of it. Have you had any issues with the sensor? If so, did you take any measures to correct it?

[@doctorcXanthophyll]

A couple of years later...what is your take on this mower? Do you still have it?

[@TheLawnMentor]

The self propel still didn’t feel good to me, but I gave the mower to my dad and it’s still kicking!

[@doctorcXanthophyll]

@@TheLawnMentor Thanks. It's a shame that these machines aren't being advertised very well at Home Depot. They only really push their Ryobi mowers and that's about it.

[@jpzsports]

Great honest review!

[@TheLawnMentor]

Thank you!

[@jynx2501]

I love mine. I got mine fall of 23. It mulches pretty decently so idk if they changed something. Its a great entry-level Electric Mower. It does come with 2 batteries, and they charge quickly. I have killed both batteries because I was using the self propel, and i used that time just to take a break. I dont last as long as 2 of those batteries... haha.

[@ta77da]

I have this mower and for some reason each of the 2 batteries I purchased will run maybe 10 minutes then shut down. The indicator on them flashes red for overheated .This is on a fairly moderate evening temperature wise. Once one does it the other will do the same immediately upon attempting starting.I have not been able to find info on the manufacturers website, just wondering if there is a solution to this issue.

[@ChuckFoxen]

Have you changed blades? Any recommendations for mulching blade?

[@TheLawnMentor]

I’m not aware of another blade that they make for this mower. Are you?

[@ChuckFoxen]

@@TheLawnMentor I am not. Guess I will crack open the manal. lol.

[@TheLawnMentor]

@@ChuckFoxen good man

[@GirLzLawn]

Single point adjustment and 62V, steel deck, all very good. I don't like that it doesn't cut at 4". Agreed on the self-propel settings vs self paced. I like the adjustable lever, but the 3 clicks is weird. The self propel would be a big learning curve for most people I think. Seems short person friendly though lol. You hit all of the important points Kyle.

[@TheLawnMentor]

Thanks PJ! It’s a solid unit and I think a lot of folks could get used to this. Not bad for $400 bucks!

[@codymadison9993]

Just ordered one hope they don’t drop a brand new model with a better speed control setup this summer and put the full price one I just got on sale lol.

[@TheLawnMentor]

I haven’t heard that they will!

[@cf6979]

I see the price is down to $325 (off season Feb 2022) at my local Home Depot so maybe it's finally time to go electric. Thanks for the review!

[@TheLawnMentor]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching. That’s a nice deal.

[@Mopar_illmatic]

Did you get to keep the items?

[@TheLawnMentor]

The Green Machine company did provides these to me for free in exchange for these reviews.

[@stepheneckert4006]

Great honest review! Did I miss the price?

[@TheLawnMentor]

Right now the mower is on sale for $399.00 at Home Depot

[@jeffaddiego3740]

How’s the battery

[@TheLawnMentor]

Great battery life! Could cut around 8k sq ft with 1 battery on mine

[@HomegrownHowTo]

Nice review. The mower looks cheap- but good to know it’s a fairly solid unit.

[@TheLawnMentor]

To me, them spending the time to use a steel deck for the mower speaks to durability. I’m looking forward to putting this through the paces over the next years!

[@HomegrownHowTo]

@@TheLawnMentor exactly! Good on GM!

Not solid at all self propelled was gone after 3 mownings,,

[@lennymarella6872]

Thanks! I’ll stick with my timemaster.

[@TheLawnMentor]

I do love my Timemaster too. But, sometimes a quiet mow with a battery powered mower, or using it to pick up leaves, is nice too!

[@pankyrustyfan1377]

This machine looks good and sounds good!! DO NOT BUY IT, I USED MINE 3 TIMES AND THE SELF PROPELLED DOES’t WORK. I called the company and explained to them the problem. It’s been 6 days and I have called them twice and get the same answer ITS UNDER REVIEW!! Not one person from the company has called or Emailed me yet! They really don’t care about their customers, they just care about the $500.00 . Not a good at commucating with the customers!

[@TheLawnMentor]

How did you contact them? I didn’t have any issues with my self propel.

[@chrisgraff2103]

Mine won’t start and the 800 number just puts on hold endlessly. The weed trimmer is blower are great but the lawn mower is a push and just refuses to start. Lame

[@TheLawnMentor]

That’s a total bummer! I’d talk to Home Depot

[@chrisgraff2103]

@@TheLawnMentor They gave me a huge run around and it turns out these mowers are online only. I ended up being able to return it in store and got my money back and went and bought a makita mower.

[@TheLawnMentor]

I guess that’s a downside of not having the product on the floor and just being a seller. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. How’s the Makita?

[@chrisgraff2103]

@@TheLawnMentor It should be here this week. I am curious as well this is all my first electric stuff. I have a greenmachine blower and weedeater the blower is amazing the weedeater is okay.

I love my toro super recycler 60v. It’s my daily driver. Fantastic mower

[@wizardmaster6639]

no one uses plastic decks on their lawnmowers please... they are REQUIRED to be made of METAL for safety and you did not have much to cut so the show was sort of lacking - but good that you made this MOVIE - I will do my own assessment - I just bought one - will pick up on Thursday

[@TheLawnMentor]

Ego makes a plastic deck dude

[@cs1992]

The self-propel operation is ridiculous. Do they actually test these things before marketing them?

[@TheLawnMentor]

Uhhhhh yeah? That’s what the whole point of this video is….a review after I’ve used it…. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gigglybeast]

All of Green Machine’s products, including the battery and charger look like knock offs of EGO’s products. So much so that I wonder if EGO actually makes this line for Home Depot??

[@TheLawnMentor]

I agree, they do look very similar!

[@bma4203]

Ego products are the leader in all battery operated lawn equipment.. All other brands Are just imitating the Big dog Brand EGO…

[@TheLawnMentor]

Some of them get pretty close! I think for the average homeowner, there are a lot of options out there. Most people wouldn’t notice the differences.

[@bma4203]

Get you a “REAL” lawn mower and cut that that thick grass w a “Reel” mower.. That height is up there a bit Bring that down 1” and it look so much better .

[@stewardship8147]

Appreciate your review… I have been looking at this as an alternative to the Ryobi HP 40V crosscut mower. Ryobi/Home Depot just increased the price to 799! I really liked the dual blade mulchingfeature, yet I can purchase nearly 2 of these for that price point. I have most of the Ryobi 40V tools which is why I wanted to stay with them. Green machine provides an excellent value, and despite the self-propelled Ratcheting thumb switch nuance… Not enough of an issue with me. My only question is does this roll easily…& How does this feel to push it manually? Most people don’t mulch the leaves into the lawn and would use the bagger function, so I would assume that like most mowers it would pick up most leaves, especially with a lower height setting… It looks like a “military beast” 🪖and I believe the value would justify adding a different brand battery and charger… I also like their hedge trimmer…which is one of the few yard tools that I do not presently have. You did not touch on the warranty which is the same as Ryobi and or Ego… five years… And three on the battery. Also this comes with two batteries and a charger which would justify the price difference over the manual push mower which only has one battery and charger. I think I just sold myself as I have been on the evaluation fence On a Ryobi alternative. It would be my luck 🤷🏻‍♂️that once I purchase this mower that green machine will remedy the design of their current speed throttle switch🧐🤨😅😎

[@TheLawnMentor]

Yeah it rolls pretty good! I had to manually maneuver it around corners and stuff. It worked fine!

[@stewardship8147]

@@TheLawnMentor Thanks, you can’t physically assess them at a Home Depot as they are not stocked yet. My lawn is mostly flat and the self-propelled feature is nice to have, but I would probably push it manually most of the time at my own pace and just wanted to make sure that it did not have any resistance. The reviews I read regarding the manual push mower rolls pretty good and this should not be much different. My old. Gas mower was self-propelled, and the mechanism broke and is not worth fixing and I push it manually. It’s great way to stay in shape!😅

[@TheLawnMentor]

@@stewardship8147 I hear ya! The self propel does go pretty slow at the lowest setting so you could probably be good there! Thanks for you comments and checking this video out!

[@stewardship8147]

Watched your video again and was trying to see if anybody has folded this unit up and stored it vertically… Can’t seem to find anyone not a big deal perhaps an additional edit to your video clip. Spring is around the corner and I will be purchasing this and the hedge trimmer. Thanks again for your info…

[@TheLawnMentor]

I did for sure do that for winter storage!!
