First Cut with Greenworks 80V 25" Lawn Mower

First cut with an electric lawn mower from Greenworks. I purchased it from Costco, which gives you an 8-year battery warranty after registering it with the provided website on the box from Costco.

I have an older 60V version of the 25-inch mower. As you later pointed out mine only shows the one battery working until that one is drained and then it automatically switches over to show the 2nd battery. So they haven't changed that. I've had it for a couple of years and started having some issues with parts (outside textured part of the back wheels started coming off). So I bought an Ego. The Greenworks cuts the grass MUCH better than my Ego, and honestly the Greenworks with two 4AH batteries with the automatic failover allows me to easily cut my yard but I have to cut my yard twice and have to change out batteries even with the bigger Ego batteries. I'd prefer the Greenworks, but getting parts is basically impossible, so I am slowly converting all my equipment over to Ego since all their equimpent uses the same batteries.

Crazy how you had trouble before you even used it. Lots of people whos bought them has issues in one way or the other. EGO Makes the best battery mower out there. Nobody beets them

Edit- learn to love the turbo.
I've been using my 21" 80v Greenworks all season and am tempted to get the 25"- but the additional motor just seems like an additional potential point of failure

@zachseeman5235 I cut some grass this morning and forgot about the turbo button. I got more to cut, so I'll use it then.

Tried one with 2 80v 4ah. The runtime was good, self propelled worked well and it’s super quiet. However the handles come loose while using it and they get all wobbly. The cut it’s ok depending on the type of grass or will cut like crap. Those two little blades don’t seem to create enough vacuum to lift the grass. The batteries work one at a time. It will automatically switch when one goes dead. I returned mine was not worth it.

So far, mine working good.

@@TheDomZilla if you have tall, weepy grass the end result will leave much to be desired but as I said depends on the type of grass you’re cutting and the height you’re cutting it at too.

Even gas mowers don't cut tall weepy grass well without double cutting.

Nice

[@TheDomZilla]

Thank you.

[@Fenix-054]

How much did you get it for? Did you only use one battery for the whole time?

[@TheDomZilla]

$750 @ Costco. I did have to use both battery, and the second on had 1 bar left when I was done.

Not bad considering Ryobi wants $2k for their 30 inch walk behind.
