Great cordless electric mower - easy to use, cuts great

This mower is perfect for my yard - bungalow on a 5000 sf lot, small front yard, medium backyard and the battery lasted just long enough to do front and back. My grass was pretty long and fairly thick so it wasn't super easy pushing thru but I did set the height to the highest possible per the instructions and it did a great job, cut evenly and completely and now I can mow it more often so it doesn't get so long. The width of the mower is narrow (I bought the 17-inch) which means more back and forth across the lawn but I was balancing price vs size in my purchase decision. Only assembly was attaching the top part of the handle, then hand tightening the bolts at the bottom and middle of the handle and flipping the levers. The handle folds up for easy storage. It started up right away, very smoothly. I didn't use the bag, I prefer mulching the clippings and it did that beautifully. It's also a little quieter than a gas powered mower. All in all, this is a great cordless electric mower!

Well-designed little mower

After getting fed up with the high maintenance requirements of gas mowers and the hassle of using corded mowers, I finally sprung the $300 for this one. So far, it's been fabulous. I've never run out of juice from the battery yet, and I've done jobs that last about 45 minutes. The battery is easy to get in and out of the charger and the mower. The handle easily folds down for more compact storage. It runs very smoothly and quietly. My favorite part is the very easy lever mechanism to adjust the mowing height. I can't talk about the bag, because I just mow with the bag off to get some mulch on my yard. Doing that, I don't get any grass splash on my pants, which is also nice. The only drawbacks to this thing are that it's only 16 inches wide, which is less than some other mowers, and it isn't self-propelling. However, I wasn't looking for a bigger or self-propelling mower. Now I really wish I had just bought this right off the bat instead of dealing with other, less convenient mowers in the past.

Just the Right Size - Like an "Andis Master" for your Lawn

( NOTE - I added a few more Customer Images to the gallery for this product; many of them have additional notes included. ) UPDATE - It's been a few weeks since my initial, glowing, 5-star review. (included below) Since then, I've had a chance to mow my entire yard again completely; I also loaned the mower to a friend to try and even mowed my neighbor's yard to try it out under various conditions. So far, I haven't found a single hidden flaw with this mower, yet I continue to be impressed by more features of the very thoughtful design. First of all, I finally tried out the grass catcher bag. I had SO underestimated how useful it is! It really should be called a vacuum bag; it puffs up like an old Hoover vacuum cleaner as the mower sucks up everything in its path. Using the bag instead of the mulching plug, the vacuum effect also makes the mower work like a Flow-Bee, sucking the blades of grass upright so the mower will cut them more precisely, and it also helps catch straggling blades of grass along the edges. Best of all, it completely eliminates the need for any sweeping (or dreadful leaf blowing) along walkways, streets, or driveways; the mower vacuums everything up, leaving the area perfectly clean and manicured, like the lawn just walked out of a barbershop! I was also surprised at how much the vacuum bag can hold; the mower chops up everything finely and blows it all to the back of the bag; it takes much longer than I expected to fill it up. The bag is remarkably simple to attach and remove from the mower and exceedingly easy to empty, it also easily unclips from the heavy steel frame so it can then be turned inside-out and rinsed clean. It's important to know that if you attempt to mow grass that is particularly wet, it may tend to accumulate around the blade. (as can happen with any mower!) This mower is normally very quiet; so if it seems to slow down or start to sound noisier than usual, stop and turn it over to see if there's an accumulation of grass around the blade. If so, simply remove it manually before proceeding. I discovered an additional benefit of the folding handle when attempting to mow under a tree with low hanging branches. When temporarily folded down, it becomes possible to mow beneath such obstacles. Larger mowers and/or mowers without easily folding handles could never do this! The manufacturer probably doesn't officially sanction using the mower this way, but if you're careful, it's a another wonderful feature! More and more, the benefit of the smaller size and light weight of this mower becomes apparent. With the cutting height shifted into high, the little mower gobbles up weeds and even moderate brush as it maneuvers in and around, over and under, various obstacles and edgings. The medium setting delivers a beautiful cut for most of my yard, but then you can tailor it down like a "bald-fade" to achieve a tightly cropped putting green look. As I gained more experience with the comfortable, well-balanced "feel" of this mower, and the way it's so easy to adjust the cutting height for a precision cut, it began to remind me of the Andis Master Hair Clipper I bought not too long ago. Arguably the most respected hair clipper in its class, the truly beloved Andis Master is famous for delivering a very precise cut, and for having a beautifully balanced feeling that is delightful to use. (comparing a hair grooming product with a lawn grooming product makes sense, doesn't it?) --------------------------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm very pleased with this Greenworks corded electric mower. The 16-inch cutting width is slightly narrower than "full sized" mowers; if you're looking to cut a vast expanse of lawn as quickly as possible, then choose a larger product instead of this model. PROS: 1- Smaller size and weight make the mower very comfortable to use, carry and store. Fits through narrower areas and around obstacles easier than larger mowers. 2- Quieter and less vibration than other electric mowers. (MUCH quieter than gas powered!) 3- Well-balanced handle has a soft padded grip, is height adjustable, and folds down instantly for storage. 4- Power switch requires two hands to start for extra safety, but then holding anywhere along the handlebar will keep it running. 5- Excellent height adjustment mechanism; large "gear shift style" control on top of mower moves smoothly and easily locks into the desired position. IMPORTANT: Move the control to its highest setting when you first start out; adjust one-step-a-time lower until you reach the desired cut. 6- No assembly required, boxed with no superfluous packaging. 7- Thoughtfully designed and solidly built. Compared to other brands of electric mowers, this guy is and excellent value; I'm impressed! CONS: (considerations, actually) 1- Smaller than larger mowers, will take more walking to mow large areas. 2- Grass catcher bag has limited capacity; when using that feature, the bag will require more frequent emptying. (but it'll be easier to do) 3- Needs electricity and an extension cord long enough to reach all areas to be mowed. (an otherwise identical Greenworks mower is available in a battery-powered model #25242, priced a couple hundred dollars more) MORE: For a few more details, please see the Customer Images I posted on the product page, noting some of the mower's details before and after I used it for the first time.

Very pleased so far

So far I'm loving this mower. The Good: Quiet. It really is at most half as loud as a normal gas push mower. It also will automatically power down a bit if the grass is easy to cut. I love this feature. Easy to push. It is fairly light, and even though it is not self propelled I find it easy to push. Battery. For my 1/4 acre lot (not all is grass), the battery seems to last about 1.5 mowings. I can mow my entire yard once, and then half again. I am not entirely sure how long the battery takes to charge, since I don't really sit and watch it, but it hasn't been a problem at all. Power: It hasn't had a problem yet for anything in my yard. I've been very pleased with the cutting power. My yard is in pretty good shape with mostly healthy grass. The Poor: Nothing really yet. I'll update this at then end of the mowing season for additional thoughts. The previous 3 years I've used a push reel mower (the kind that spins only when you push it, no motor) on my 1/4 acre lot. I have thick grass that got very difficult to mow. The reel mower did not cut tall grass very well. This is certainly an upgrade. I wanted to stay away from gas mowers, and this fits the bill. I would recommend it for small yards for sure.

Great Mower, light weight and VERY easy to use.

This is my first electric lawn mower. I've used it 3 times and I am very impressed with it so far. It was very easy to assemble right out of the box. I would advise paying close attention to the brackets position when you are raising the handle. Just be sure the latch is lined up correctly, I didn't see the position was twisted when I first assembled it. I LOVE the fact that it folds down flat and it saves a ton of space. The unit is very light weight and super easy to use. Running it on the lawn was very similar to vacuuming! I didn't break a sweat when I used this mower, usually I'm quite tired after using a gas mower. I found it very simple to get my yard done quickly, switching from the mower to edger and blower all from the same power source was very convenient. The height is very easily adjusted with one hand. It is very simple to turn it on. Just hold the start button down and pull the lever. That's it. No more sore shoulder from pulling on the string or having to run to the gas station for fuel. I Love it! I have never been more motivated to mow the lawn! I have a pretty large yard so I needed to empty the bag about 4 times per yard. The bag is smaller than the one on my previous mower however I kind of like it for that reason. Since it is smaller it is easier to remove from the mower, dump and reattach. I did a lot of research on mowers and I am glad I bought this one. I haven't had any issues. Its nice and powerful for it's size. Great Purchase!

Smaller is Better When It Comes to Eletric Mowers with Cord

This mower is perfect for my yard and a weekly upkeep. Mower is light and easily moved. More like a vacuum cleaner than mower. Cord takes a little getting used to, but I learned to lay it out to the far corner of yard and roll it up as I move closer to source. Height adjustment works great. Can set it to cut grass short, or go high to keep clover in check. 10 Amp motor worked fine with 16" blades, and it means less worries about using a long cord. You can use up to 150' with a 12 gauge cord, or with the standard 16 gauge to 50'. I tried it with a 50' 16ga cord on the end of a 100' 12ga cord and it worked fine too. Was able to handle foot high grass. Was surprised how much easier it is to use due to light weight. Even though only 16" blades, it is easily moved back and forth so a large area can be covered fairly quickly. UPDATE: Needed to contact customer service for a problem. Called 888 number which is all over product. Wait was a little long, but referred me to a local repair shop for free repairs under warranty, all I needed to do was bring receipt. Wish I could give GreenWorks six stars now!

Total met my expectations!😋6 stars !!

I got the 1 from amazon warehouse. Half the cost. Looked brand new. Runs fantastic!!! 6 plus star! The only thing that I did was push the deck button and instead of lifting handle I pushed. Well when all else fails read manual. Simple. It was wet with dew out. The mower has great power and went right thru it. I am 63 yr women and have used a mower like this for past 8 years. I decided on a push button to save the shoulder from pulling the cord on regular mowers. I have a smaller urban yard. Only used 1/2 battery power on back yard!!! Ladies if your older, single this app s for you!!! One last thing 6 is lowest setting 1 highest.

Stubborn old guy likes it!

Update: The mower also works great for mulching. It is very easy to change from mulching to basket. The mulching plug is very easy to use. I shop regularly at Amazon and frequently read and rely on customer reviews, but I hardly ever write one. I have been mowing lawns for 60 years and have always believed you need a 5 HP gas mower to mow grass. Period. But times change. I wanted to try an electric corded mower to see if it would help with several issues. Until last month, I had never, ever used anything but gas. This 16" mower exceeded all expectations. I gave away my old mower, gas cans, air filters, and tossed the oil changing pan and a bunch of other stuff. I am never going back. This particular mower is very well designed. I do not know how well it will hold up over time, but based on three mowings of heavy, wet, tall northwest spring grass, I think the build quality is very good and I expect it to last. It has plenty of power to mow grass. It is very easy to change mower height with one control. The mulching plug is a welcome addition (but mulching will have to wait for drier weather.) I did not expect the grass catcher to work at all, but it not only works great, it works better than any other one I have ever used. There is an impeller (or something) mounted above the blade which may have something to do with filling the bag. Also, the smooth curved surface of the underside of the mower may have something to do with it. Anyway, the grass catcher bag fills with heavy wet long grass until the bag is full. Completely unexpected. Here is a hint for everyone: I was looking around the shed for something to clean the underside of the mower. I did not want to use the steel scrapers I used on my old mower. I found a rounded plastic tool my wife must have purchased for gardening. It is perfect! I used this: Fiskars Fiber Composite Soil Scoop (7068). If you have never used a corded electric mower, here are some thoughts which might help. Things which are easier with this mower than my old gas mower include: lighter, much less vibration, much quieter, much easier to start, no gas, no oil, no air filter, no tuneups. To start, you press a button, squeeze the bail (just like your gas mower). That is it. No bending over, nothing to pull. It just starts up and keeps running until you release the bail. The main adjustment is using a cord. You do have to learn how to manage the cord and devise a new plan to mow your lawn. It took me three mowing sessions to be comfortable with all aspects of mowing with this mower. You will probably learn faster than I did. Thanks to all of the reviewers of this product and many more. Thanks also to Amazon for hosting the reviews.

Does the job for me!

It is great! I have a very small yard and it is perfect for doing the yard. Most of the time I can do the yard with one charge. However there have been some times when the battery did not last. I bought an extra battery. I was amazed at the power of the mowing. It is as powerful as a gas mower and sometimes it seems more powerful! I like that I can turn it off and on easily. This makes it easy to maximized the battery/power. It is very quiet so I can mowed early in the morning. The battery charges quickly and is easy to put in and take out. I am so glad I did not buy a gas mower!
