Picked this one at Costco for $500 with two batteries plus a Costco 8 year warranty on the battery and mower. Coming from mowing with a 12 yr old craftsman that was held together with zip ties, band clamps and duct tape, this was like a spaceship. Worth it!

I just ran this for the first time today and yeah the things you said you hated about it was true. However you can just let go of the accellerator a few seconds before you turn, the momentum should allow you to get to where you need to be, and by then the wheels will unlock and you're free to turn. That was the adjustment that I did within 15 minutes of using it and there's no problem as far as that's concerned

I used my Greenworks Pro 80V the first time a few days ago. It's awesome. While there is a slight pause when drive mode is engaged, it is so brief that it does not affect the performance at all for me. I prefer rear drive because of superior traction, especially going up a grade. I bought my mower from Costco online. It was delivered to my garage door, wonderfully packaged. Assembly is a snap. While the Costco package comes with a single-battery charger, it took under an hour to charge each battery from new. Not a problem at all. When you're finished mowing, it stows safely in your garage or shed by folding the handle and rotating the mower vertically. I'm just so very pleased with this mower.

I have this mower as well and it is a really great. Moved from gas to electric. But there are things I have not gotten used to yet. 1.) The speed control is easy to bump and change when you turn. I would prefer a less continuous control with settings that click in place or a lower profile knob design, 2.) it takes a while for the self-propelled clutch to disengage so moving forward and then pulling back is not fluid and 3.) while the mower is supposed to change over batteries automatically, the mower sometimes stops and it takes a while (15-30sec) for the system to switch batteries. These are minor inconveniences for a really great mower. Quiet, powerful, and takes up hardly any space in the garage. No oil or gas to worry about.

I have the Costco version of this. It also comes with a high lift blade if that helps anyone. So far I am very happy with it. It's definitely overkill for my lawn, but for $100 more than the base EGO push model along with Costco's perks, I decided to give it a shot. I've noticed the self propel issue as well on my first cut. What I did on my second cut was I just let go of the trigger about a foot or so from where I wanted to end and just push over that last bit. Didn't have any issues with it on that second cut. I think for most people you will be able to get used to it and figure out what works for you.

Going on 3 years with the 60v version of this mower. The 2 points that you mentioned here you will quickly get over and get use to the slight hesitation when first starting. When I engage the self propell I'm already beginning to push it so you don't notice it really. As for the locking up, if you release the self propell about a foot or so before turning that does not happen. I love the mower so much that I sold my Honda Hrx217. By the way, switch the mulch blade for the included high lift blade. You will get a much better cut. Also, being the blade is so thin I sharpen it every month with that Arnold wheel that attaches to a drill. I leave the blade on the mower while doing that as well.

I just used the same mower for the first time and I mostly loved it. When I disengage the drive and pull back, the wheels are locked. I guess it takes a while to release, but I'll get used to it. I bought it on the Greenworks site and it came with the single charger, a 4 amp and a 2 amp battery. No problem for me, since it only takes 20 minutes to mow my lawn. I'm looking forward to buying the string trimmer too.

Disengage the drive, keep pushing the mower forward manually for a foot or two then you can pull it back or do a tight turn. When you keep pushing forward for just a bit it after you disengage the self propelled feature that unlocks the wheels. You get better at with a little practice.

I absolutely love rear wheel drive mowers. If you are mowing up hill or just driving the mower up a hill you definitely want rear drive. That way when the front wheels lose grip as the front wheels down force is decreased going up a steep hill you don't loose grip at the rear drive wheels. It also makes it easier to do a fast tight u-turn by rocking back on the back wheels and turning while it's in drive.

We’ve learned to appreciate the rear wheel as well although because this mower is lightweight my kids end up letting the front come up too much and mow a bit uneven but works well for me.

Just ran across your video based on my obsessive researching on most things I like or buy. I've had multiple GW 80v products for a few years now; backpack blower, string trimmer, hedge trimmer, 18" chainsaw. My toro push mower, I got 11 or 12 cutting seasons out of it, just had it's first major mechanic issue last week. So, since I'm well invested into the GW 80v world, I took the leap of faith and ordered the 21" gen 2 mower. Man, you couldn't be more correct on the hap-hazard layout of their website. I'm a super techy, geeky, kinda guy and I got confused on what model I was buying, they have 2 different Gen 2 models(push vs self propelled at the same price but with different battery combos) and I ended up with the gen 2 21" push mower instead of the gen 2 21" self propelled, none self pace, model. Thankfully they have a reasonable return policy and it only cost me about $45 to ship the first one I ordered back, but it definitely tripped me up. Totally my fault, but I definitely think they've got a lot of room for improvement on the UI/UX of their website. I purchased their 60v self propelled mower last year for my parents to use around their garden. I fell in love with how easy it was to adjust and the folding feature, to help keep the deck clean, was one of those, it's some simple and so helpful, I couldn't wait to get one for myself. I almost pulled the trigger on their newer 80v 25" deck model, but thankfully saw another reviewer who mentioned that it doesn't offer side discharge. So, that was a bit of a deal breaker for me.

I own this mower. The mower works well. Three issues that are less than good, first, the control for self propell seems to constantly shift; second, the mower stops occasionally and you must take out and put the safety key back in; and third , you can pinch your figures by the hand controls if you don't watch out.
@hardybrothersproductreviews
@hardybrothersproductreviews 7 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't have the self shifting issue with self-propel but I wish it was truly more variable than it seems. The intermediate stopping happened a few times to me and it seemed to me like the batteries were losing contact or something, mine would restart w/out pulling the safety key, i'd just wiggle the batteries and it would start up. Haven't experienced the pinching either but see how that might happen. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I bought the 25" dual blade version of this self propelled mower. Its a very powerful mower. I do not notice a lag when engaging the self propelled feature. I do however notice the rear wheels staying locked for a couple seconds after disengaging the self propelled handle. It can be annoying but I've learned to just push it forward a bit after releasing the self propelled handle and they disengage. I have a thick lawn and it requires the *turbo* mode for much of it. If I don't engage turbo mode it results in uneven cutting. So turbo mode is great but sucks up quite a bit of battery. One negative is the weight distribution. It holds 2 batteries and will automatically switch to the 2nd battery when the 1st one dies. Great feature for sure. However the weight of the batteries plus the rear wheel drive can cause the mower to do a sort of wheelie when first engaging self propelled. So if you get the 25" version you will need to adjust to the mower's mannerisms and idiosyncrasies. Its a very solid mower and if you bag the grass clippings, it's fantastic. Best bagger ever. Just be aware there's a learning curve.

I purchased this at Costco in May of this year. It cuts really well unless I use the self propel mode. It cuts nice and level when using it in push mode. When I switch to self propel mode it cuts noticeably uneven on each pass, left side cuts higher than the right side. This has been a bit frustrating because when you pay for a self propelled mower you expect a nice even cut. Has anyone else experienced this and if so have you been able to fix it. I’m debating returning it and re buying it as I’ve not been made aware of others experiencing this problem. Otherwise it has been really easy and fun to use.

Long time green works pro user. Have the mower trimmer and blower. All 60v. I’ve landscaped using all gas products on the side for years prior to owning these. I can say every electric variant has a break in time… for you almost they al have their quirks but after owning them for several years I mow much more efficiently and none of the issues have remained issues. I’ve either thoughtlessly worked over them or have managed doing simple things like applying the gas sooner as well as when turning using the mowers locking of the wheels to my advantage. Love the video quick and informative.

Got mine at Best Buy and it's the same one as the Costco version. I've noticed the wheels tend to lock up when I disengage the transmission to pull it backwards or make a turn. I found out through trial and error that giving it a slight nudge forward before I pull it backwards or turn it will unlock the rear wheels so they roll instead of skidding across the lawn.

Yeh, I think I may have been backwards on my electric car scenario... have been corrected by a few folks... Maybe unlike gas engines that dump fuel into the carb and then take off the electric cars are instantaneous... definitely not the case for this mower there is a delay. So the batteries are 4 year warranty from Greenworks and if you buy from Costco they double the warranty to 8 years. I have Milwaukee and Dewalt tools that have lasted years with no problems on the batteries... i think the tech is getting much better but I'm definitely not a lithium ion battery expert.

Thanks for the pros and cons. Just bought mine at Costco yesterday. Would prefer NO batteries since I already have their 80V tiller, but ok, now I have spares. And two chargers. I thought all these self-propelled walk behind mowers were rear wheel drive? I have a gas/carburetor type self-propelled rear wheel drv that I've never used because it's impossible to move without the motor running - at least I assume that's the problem. I've never started it and will return it to Costco. I'm not having that problem with this Greenworks version. Rolled right out of the box. Self-propelled is one of those things you think will be great until you use it. It's more efficient for me to pull my mowers backward, and then go forward again, rather than turn around all the time, so that will take getting used to. I bought this one because, besides my itty bitty lawn I have 5 bumpy acres of grass and weeds. Except for the bit covered in pine trees, I've mowed almost the whole dang thing with a push mower, and it's serious exercise. This 80V self-propelled came with a 5 year warranty AND I could get it through Costco. I already know Greenworks' service options are pitiful in my area, so if anything goes wrong, it's going back to Costco.

However, my wife's 23' Highlander has a drive by wire throttle setup and there is noticeable latency. Maybe the older Teslas had this issue though and hopefully they'll eliminate the latency in future Greenworks products.

Great review I just recently got the Harbor Freight Atlas version that looks almost exactly the same for only $215 before tax with a 20% off coupon and I already had 4 batteries but I bought the fast charger but it only charges 1 battery at a time and it still isn't that fast but it's definitely faster than the older super slow charger that I had from before but I already had several of the Atlas tools like the 80v chainsaw, 80v weed eater and 80v pole saw and they used to have a push version of the same mower from Atlas that the wheels wouldn't spin and it was like $60 cheaper that I wanted to get because I just want to push it to save battery life and that 1 was cheaper but for some reason they discontinued it so right now they only have the 1 self-propelled 80v Atlas version that you can still push but it has that extra bar that you can squeeze so that the wheels will make it go but I don't hardly use it because I don't want to kill the battery quicker but they look real similar but I like that your batteries are pretty big and you have a fast double charger that's awesome for sure but then that makes it cost a lot more but great review!

I'm not sure if they're weeds or mini trees from seeds that fell off a tree in the backyard but would this mower cut them down just fine? Or should I trim those first before using this mower for the first time? Also, does it come preassembled in the box and you just unfold it or do you have to build it from the box? Mine is still in the box since it's been raining here.

I turned to my 11 year old son who now goes out and drops a battery and mows our yard and a neighbors yard and I said buddy, that right there is why I love these battery mowers. No fuss, just push the button and go. I bought into the full suite of tools and love them. Not a tree hugger and had many crappy electric yard trimmers and blowers and these are great. Wife and kids just get it done regardless of the chore. Price is still high but I also enjoy not lugging gas cans or worrying about bad gas and clogged carbs.

Thank you so much for the clear explanation. I purchased this mower from Costco. Most unfortunate, my husband passed away last year and he handled all the mechanical stuff on the property while I handled our business/office/home, so I asked one of his friends to assemble it for me. I went to use it for the first time today. I placed the charged batteries in, attached the grass chute, lowered the wheels, etc. I started it and was very pleased at the low volume of sound (as you mentioned, about 80 decibels); however, when I went over grass, it did not cut anything. I was totally bummed. Obviously I have done something wrong but have no idea what. Any thoughts?

Sorry not sure i know why it wouldn't be cutting. I assume you've confirmed that it in fact has a blade attached. Next I've noticed that you can hold in the self propel handle and start it and it immediately starts moving. Not sure if you then grab the other handle if it engages or not. Maybe make sure you have the green handle held first when you start and then engage the grey handle to walk with it... just a stab in the dark, no clue if this matters. Good luck!

They’ve made a mess of their offerings for sure. I’m pretty sure all of the self propelled models have two slots even if they only sell you one battery.

I have two 4ah and after one dies it auto fails to the other and I can continue or stop and put the dead one on the charger as I continue mowing. The bigger the battery the more the uninterrupted mowing time. Does that help? Greenworks needs some serious help with their product management and marketing.

Quick rebuttal on the statement "...takes a second for it to go...", push the accelerator on a tesla and you are on warp speed. I don't know who told you this but I doubt they drive a tesla

Single point height adjuster seems nice at first. But over time, the linkages and pivots wear making it quite sloppy. The mower won't cut flat because the deck is bouncing around over uneven ground. Individual wheel adjustment is better by far for the long haul. Also, front wheel drive mowers are easier to maneuver as you indicated. However, they have trouble pulling themselves uphill if there's any amount of moisture on the grass. Toro has a great fix for this issue with their Personal Pace rear wheel drive system. It drives the speed you walk and disengages when you stop. It's very fluid in its stop/go/backup maneuvers. And there are no levers or handles to fumble with while doing so. It just works. Thanks for the good video.

Curious if the Toro Personal Pace is electric? I actually replaced that very gas mower with this one and was never happy with it... Not sure if I had a bad unit but it might as well have been a push mower it seemed... My wife was not happy with it, she would joke that yeh its personal pace, whatever pace I push it that is the pace it moves... Maybe we had a bad one because I had always had luck with Toro in the past. Thanks for the info on the single point adjuster, hoping we don't experience that issue, we don't change heights often. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! - Josh

@@hardybrothersproductreviews , I have a gas powered one that I've had for 15+ years. I just got the electric version of it. The Personal Pace feature has not changed in design. I used the gas one to mow mountain bike trial for many years. It has the power to climb very steep hills with no effort on my part. I have not had the electric one out of the yard yet, but it feels the same in the yard. When the drive belt needed replaced it did slow down. I think it was slipping. The belt was very inexpensive and took 5 minutes to replace with a common ratchet and socket.

@@victoryvisiontour thanks for the reply... I wonder if maybe the belt was slipping from the beginning on ours. I don't recall doing any assembly so maybe I bought it already assembled and possibly it was put together incorrectly. I just remember being disappointed with it... My brother has it now, I'll have to take it apart and check it out.

Great review! I was never thinking of going electric but my neighbor bought an Eco from Lowes last week and it was so quiet and his lawn looks good. So it got me thinking especially as my LawnBoy is struggling after 17 years! I think I'm going to go with the Costco deal. I see Costco includes 2 batteries a 4 ah and 2ah. Does anyone know the exact run time of the 2 Costco batteries combined? My lawn usually takes 45-60 mins with a gas push mower depending on my energy levels. So decent sized subdivision home. Thanks!

Same happened to me when I saw my neighbor mowing but didn't hear him... lol. Strange that the Costco version now comes with a 4 and 2h battery, they used to both be 4ah and they had an extended warranty up to 8 years. The two 4ah batteries were supposed to last 90 mins, so I'd assume you are around 60-70 mins now... Probably my biggest gripe with Greenworks is their crappy marketing and poor product versioning/comparison... no rhyme or reason to why you can find 7 variations of the same product. crazy...

I hate that you can't go in reverse without turning it off, other than that it's pretty good. Edit- after using it again you can pull it in reverse, just have to wait a second for the drivetrain to disengage

The website and products ARE confusing. If a battery is 80v, it should work with all 80v products, but that's not the case from what I understand.

@hardybrothersproductreviews Жыл бұрын
I agree the site is confusing, but if you shop by 80v Tools, this link www.greenworkstools.com/collections/80-volt, those are all compatible to my understanding. I have about 8 tools now and they all work off the same batteries and work great. The variation in batteries comes down to the amp hours, so how long they last. I have the mower, snowblower, blower, hedge trimmer, edger, chainsaw, string trimmer and am happy with all of them.
