The Lawn Mowing Beast....

Right out of the box the only assembly required is 4 hand torqued screws for the pushing arm. Two at the base and then two quick release clip style mid way up the arm. Note: For quick release make sure not to over tighten because during latching it, it could be too tight and break the latch. Besides that this is a BEAST! Example: My lawn was 10in + high and thick. Broke out the new lawn mower was about to mow and it down poured rain. Ugh.... Now I cant mow. :( Wet and thick grass. I said lets test it. The deck is on medium high, and I was going to use the bagging option but wet grass would not be good for bagging so I took the bag off and forgot to up on the discharge option so I ended up doing mulching which is what will kill a mower with high grass. Nope not this thing. Some of the really thick areas it slowed it a bit but didn't kill it. My old house I had a 3.5hp tractor mower with a 42 in deck and it has died repeatedly under these condition. This thing ate it up and kept asking for more. Yes I could not walk at full pace but I was only about half pace and it just tore through it. The only thing is watching the cord. Easy enough. Just work away from the plug with each pass. I never got near it. Plus MAKE SURE YOUR POWER CORD IS RATED FOR AT LEAST 12AMPS AT THE LENGTH OF YOUR CORD! Otherwise you are wasting your time. After I was done cutting a wet thick yard front and back I easily unplugged it and hosed it off to clean it up. Then stored it to dry. Yes it is a work horse. I would recommend if you are tired of gas tanks, oil stains, and pull starts. Lets not forget that cylinder engines dye easy if bogged down. Then you have to clear the debris and pull start it again. The electric will eat through with continuous power. Had it for year now and it still chews through it all. I just spray it all over after each use and put it away dripping wet. Still not upset about the purchase.

Great mower, great product. I highly recommend it!

I've had this mower for a little over a year now. It has served me and my lawn well. A little backstory about why i chose to go with an electric mower: My weekly chore growing up was having to cut the lawn at my parents (1/3 acre); my parents had a craftsman mower which had powered wheels and ran on gasoline. The powered wheels were nice to have because the backyard had a slight downward hill to it but I hated dealing with the gasoline. I disliked having to go refill (albeit occasionally) the gas can or getting gasoline on my hands while trying to fill the mower with gas. sometimes, I would spill a little gas while trying to fill the mower. Not a dealbreaker but it was just annoying. I bought a new house recently and this lawn is significantly smaller (1/8 acre) and pretty level so I decided to give this corded mower a try. Plus, my neighbor across the street, whose house was situated on a similarly sized plot, used an electric mower and he told me that he's never had a problem. The toughest part about using a corded mower is figuring out the best way to maneuver/cut the lawn without having to constantly adjust the power cord. Once you get that down, you will enjoy using this mower - it's got enough power to handle lawn mowing and even the occasional wayward branch. It's easy to maneuver and switch between bagging/mulching. I like how the top half of the handle is held by easy-release brackets so that you can fold the top half of the push bar when you store the mower. The craftsman one my parents had did not have this feature and the mower took up much more space in their shed. It's easy to adjust the height of the blade, there's only one lever to adjust. Here's a couple of tips for those considering doing the switch to electric mowers. 1.Buy yourself a nice extension cord that will A) stand out from the lawn color and B) reach from the power source to the farthest corner of your lawn. I originally used the "outdoor" extension cord that i had for the christmas ornaments which was a dark green color. While I never had a mishap running over the cord, it took more effort trying to locate it as I was mowing the lawn. I switched to 50ft BRIGHT ORANGE power cord and have been using it ever since. 2. Figure out the best way to mow based on how your lawn is situated and where the power source is. NOW MEMORIZE THAT PATTERN. It took a few mowing sessions for me to determine the best way to mow without having to constantly reposition the power cord but I've got it memorized now and I just follow that same pattern every time I mow. I don't mind that its a corded mower one bit. Generally, its easiest to start at the point in the lawn that's closest to the outlet and end at the furthest point from the lawn. I keep the cord between my two legs while I mow so that when I do the U turn at the edge of the lawn to do the next line of grass, the cord easily follows behind the mower. All in all, this is a great mower at a great price, its got all the power and features that one could need. It is a little quieter than a gas mower so for those of you go-getters who insist on mowing the lawn at 8am on Saturday when the rest of the world is sleeping in, your neighbors will thank you.

Yes. It is powerful.

Coming from a 26 yr old great gas mower, my biggest fear was power. The vast majority of video reviews really do not put electric mowers to the test. Well my fears are over. I setup my mower in less than 10 minutes. So great to push a button and instant on. My plush bluegrass lawn was wet. Mowed about 4 inches of height off of it. (I never let it get this out of control). Went right thru it without a whimper. And much more quiet than my old one. Now I will see how it does in the fall when I mulch leaves. Guessing it may be a bit slower than I’m used to but I have no fears about it doing the job. Only initial dings I would give this are the tires are just a bit narrower than I am used to. The clip that is supposed to secure the extension cord does not work with a 12 ga extension cord. (And do get a 12 ga if you want to protect the life of the motor. ) The deck is steel which is outstanding. The mowing height adjustment is something that should be standard on every push behind. The mower is much lighter than I thought it would be. I always use the bag and this seemed to get the clippings even with the wet grass. Got this as a lightning prime day deal for $112. Unreal! Highly recommended if you are going with a corded mower.

Great lawnmower. Plenty of power using a heavy duty ...

Great lawnmower. Plenty of power using a heavy duty 12 gauge extension cord. Gotta go slow over tall grass, & make sure it's dry after rain or watering. Very convenient & easy for 69 year old semi-disabled female (5'5" tall 168 lbs) to operate. Just take great care to keep the extension cord out of mowing path, & away from tangling in your feet. Be vigilant about this & just mow away!...without the need to pull start & without the need for a man to get it going. Just push the button, pull up on the handle lever & off you go. No worries...in a jiffy, your lawn is easily mowed & beautiful again. :) jlp

Very satisfied former Black and Decker owner - Greenworks gets it right!

I bought my first electric lawn mower when I bought my first house in 2004. It was a Black and Decker MM675 with a flip-over handle. That lawn mower served me well for about 5 years and never let me down. Then, one day I used it when my lawn was too wet and the motor started to smoke as it bogged down on wet grass! I could no longer get the MM675 model, so I went to Home Depot and "upgraded" to the MM1800, the 18" corded mulching/bagging mower from Black and Decker. Immediately I was dissatisfied. It didn't feel as strong as my old mower, was more unwieldy, and had this awful plastic shroud that made it hard to maneuver. Everything on it felt cheap, and two years later, it died on me while mowing grass that was not that thick. I decided to try to leave the Black and Decker world and see what else I could find. Bear in mind, I did not consider gas because I don't have the room to keep fuel around and I have a modest size yard. I did not want cordless battery power because I didn't want to have to keep batteries alive (some require charge/discharge cycles all winter) or buy new batteries. Corded lawn mowers are a fine solution. Many complain about "cord management", but here's the trick. Your lawn never changes. Unless you are a professional landscaper (and if you are, buy a gas mower), then you always mow the same lawn. So the trick is to come up with a mowing pattern where you mow away from the outlet and never trip over the cord. Once you have a pattern, stick with it and you can mow quickly. Which brings me to the Greenworks 25022 20" electric bag/mulch/side discharge mower. It costs a bit more than the Black and Decker, but what a difference. First, the deck of the mower is metal, not plastic! That means it is thinner than the B&D. Also, with more metal the top is not covered in bulky plastic. I have a sewer cleanout stand-pipe in my yard. My Black and Decker MM1800 could never mow close to it so I always had to get out the weed whacker. I was amazed that the Greenworks 25022 could mow so close that there was no need to come back for cleanup. I did it all in 1 pass. The amazing thing is that the mower is 20" instead of the 18" of the B&D, meaning I could mow my lawn faster with fewer passes, yet it could also get closer to things due to the smaller shroud over the blade. Other nice features include very large rear tires, what might be the largest in the industry. They make it far easier to maneuver than models with 7" or 8" wheels. Cord management is a snap with a nice pig-tail cord that secures nicely. The B&D model didn't have a pigtail, just a plug on the device itself, and the cord was harder to keep in. This mower also permits side-discharge. I normally just mulch, but it is nice to have that as an option in addition to bagging. The mower activates with a simple bar that has a 1-button safety. The safety is easy enough to use to not be obtrusive and the bar is full length so you can grab it from either side. The height adjustment of this mower is far higher quality than the B&D height adjust. Strong metal controls with positive stops made height adjustment a snap. For the space limited, the handle folds very easily. The middle bar doesn't even need to be unscrewed as there are folding posts to "snap" it into place, and the screws on the bottom are retained in the unit when it folds so there are no parts to lose. I am a happy convert from Black and Decker, and recommend you give this mower a try! Update from November 2011: When I first reviewed the mower, I commented that I was just mulching. This weekend I gave the bagging feature a try because I wanted to mow up the leaves all of my yard. If you mulch those you just make a mess, so I needed to bag. The bag installed easily - just lift the spring-loaded back door, remove the mulching plug, and the bag has 2 hooked to secure it. The bag filled up quickly which was to be expected given the large number of leaves I was mowing, but it was easy to empty. One thing I quickly noticed - the bag is narrow enough to fit between the handlebars. As a result, I could pick it straight up without bending over and pulling all the way back. I spilled less clippings and got it emptied far faster. The bag is obviously well thought out and rounds out a great tool that I recommend with no reservations. Update from Spring 2013: The mower is still going strong. Just another note - I abuse this thing. I leave it chained under my deck all year long since I don't have a garage or a tool shed. It sits in the rain, the snow, the heat, and the cold. Amazingly, every spring I plug it in, squeeze the handle, and it starts right up. Can't say that for even lots of gas mowers. Still gets my recommendation! Update from Spring 2014: I tried a Black and Decker mower this year that was battery operated. It lasted 2 weeks and died when the blade hit a root and bent 90 degrees. I went back over to my Greenworks 25022. It's started to rust a bit (yes, I still keep it outside), but I plugged it in and cut my lawn in a snap. Still a happy customer!

Powerful, easy to use, well designed!

What a GREAT lawnmower! I had to get a new one, as the 15+ year old one I had finally seized up, but I didn't really want to get a cordless mower, despite the convenience. I know that the infrequent use would be hard on batteries, and the extra cost and waste of all the battery pack/charging system/etc. wasn't worth it, to me. I was very glad to find this inexpensive mower on Amazon, as the big orange home center didn't have corded electric mowers any longer...I figured that even if this Amazon one was sketchy, it'd work at least for awhile. Boy, was I wrong!! It's NOT SKETCHY, at ALL! Solidly made, handy features, and far easier than my old B&D one. And more powerful. The grass clipping bag works great, too, and holds more than my old one, and is centrally located so it doesn't get in the way. Overall, a great design for the whole mower. I had been in-and-out-of-town and hadn't mowed in months, so the yard was waist high, in spots. It just ate it right up! Now I want to buy another to store away for the future! (but who knows: In another fifteen years, maybe there will be an even better one!) By the way: I'm in no way associated with these companies, so hopefully no one will think this is a fake review! Get one; I think you'll be pleased!

works great, but not maintaince free.

This is my first electric mower. I have roughly 1/2 acre of grass to mow. I took it out today to mulch up some lingering leaves from last fall and it worked great, plenty of power, and I don't really mind pulling an extension cord. One note though, it is not sealed, the motor gets very dirty during use. I suggest opening up and cleaning regularly with a blast of compressed air or a leaf blower. The screws don't come out easy - I'm going to replace them with quick release pins so I can throughly clean mine up after every use.

Purchased for a friend and she loves it.

I bought this mower for a friend, whose spouse was temporarily disabled and unable to do yard work. She loves it for its light weight and the great job it does on the lawn. She caught on to cord management very quickly. Lovely little machine! How did I know to get it? I'll tell you. Back in 2009 I decided to try an electric mower after my old push mower burned out. I got the 20-inch model even though the guides said that my 1/3 acre lot was too much grass for this kind of machine. Well I was used to trudging behind a 21 inch mower so I didn't see how a 20 inch would be all that different if the cord would reach. The mower I chose (a Task Force purchased at a local chain store) is identical in all but styling details to the GreenWorks 25022. Even the wheels are the same. It has the same EZ height adjuster, same amperage, everything. It probably was built at the same Chinese factory. Right out of the box, the mower worked very well. I needed 150 ft. of heavy cord to get to every place on my lawn, which is extreme but did not cause me any problems. I suspect my local utility is supplying power closer to 125 volts than the minimum 110. At the same time I bought this mower, I also purchased a 21-inch gas-powered Troy-bilt as a backup. I quickly came to prefer the electric for its light weight and ease of maintenance. Comparing the two, the gas mower has more power to plow through overgrown or damp grass. The electric can handle overgrown grass, but you have to slow down and the side discharge will clog occasionally. If I had to cut overgrown grass with the electric, I would raise the deck to the highest setting and then cut it again at standard height the next day. It takes me about an hour and a half to cut my lawn with the gas mower, and by the end I'm worn out. The electric takes me about two hours, but at the end I'm still fresh because it's SO much easier to push. My brilliant repair #1: Early in the second season one day, I was happily cutting away when the mower lost power and then quit running. Kicking the tires did not revive it, so I put it away after calling it a hunk a junk and finished the season with my new gas mower. I used the gas mower exclusively the next year also, but in the spring of 2012 I took the cover off and gave the electric motor a hard look. A gap had opened up between one of the brushes and the armature, causing a spark to arc across the gap and deposit a layer of carbon on the armature. When the carbon got thick enough the motor wouldn't run any more. I found the owner's manual, called the parts source, and ordered new brushes. They installed easily, and the motor has run perfectly ever since. My brilliant repair #2 In the 2013 season the safety switch started popping loose and shutting down the mower. I carefully disassembled the switch, found nothing broken or worn, and carefully reassembled it. Since then it's worked perfectly for four years. Just recently it's started doing it again, occasionally, but this time I doubt if taking it apart will fix it. Parts wear out. Update 7/28/2017: My less than brilliant third repair. As expected, the safety switch continued to pop loose. I opened the case and saw that some plastic bolsters around the kill button had broken off leaving the button with too much freedom of movement. I bought a simple toggle switch (overpriced at $9.50) and installed it in place of the original. Losing the dead-man switch was not a concern to me because I was a grown man before those things were required. However, I also lost the blade brake. Without it, after power shut-off the blade continues to spin like the flywheel it is for at least ten seconds. That is dangerous, so kids, don't do this repair. I'm going to get a second switch to reinstate the blade brake. It will be completely manual, but better than nothing. As others have mentioned, the choice of cord is critical. Pick one too small for the job, and you'll burn up the rectifier. I think the rectifier is also sensitive to hard use. Keep the RPMs up, don't lug it down in thick grass. A sharp blade will slice through the grass more easily, without bogging down. The blade is easily removed, and can be sharpened with no trouble if you have something to clamp it and a 10 or 12 inch flat mill (aka "flat bastard") file. I'm sure YouTube has videos on how to do it. Others have also mentioned that the motor compartment is not sealed. Grass and leaves and trash will accumulate in there and potentially cause trouble if not cleaned out from time to time. This service involves backing out the four bolts that hold the plastic cover in place. After removing the cover several times, I have stripped the heads of the soft bolts and can no longer get them out. The buildup of trash may soon cause me to need Brilliant Repair #3; or more likely I'll just buy a new GreenWorks. If you want your mower to last, replace those soft factory bolts with hardened stainless steel versions, and keep the threads lubricated. One other thing I love about this mower: You can flip it upside down to clean the deck. I promise the gas and oil won't run out of it!

Survived 4.5yrs of Torture Testing!

I bought this unit back in 2012 and used it hard for 4.5yrs before it quit working this AM. During the summer I would sometimes mow my lawns in high temps (100degF+) and the unit held up just fine for those torture tests. It works well as a mulching mower, if you get too busy or lazy and let your grass grow too high then cut your lawn in 2 passes (first pass on high height then second pass on mid height setting). I'm not sure why mine died after 4.5yrs but received my money's worth. It was a no-brainer just to order a new one as I'm sure after 4.5yrs the motor's components (brushes etc) were worn as well as the switches, etc.

Good Electric Mower for the Price of a Carb Rebuild

I own a 21 acre property but the lawn around the house is fairly small, about 1/2 acre. I have a tractor for mowing my pasture but can't use it in the yard. I would mow the lawn with my old-school reel push motor (manual, not powered) but there is a steep slope into the pond, and the flat area is very lumpy because of moles, voles, and similar critters. Despite using ethanol free fuel when I can, I've had many carburetor and other fuel system troubles (thank you corrupt United Stares Congress for taking big money from corn farmers and giving them everything they want). My wheel driven Toro just broke down again. So, I bought this for not much more money than a carburetor rebuild -- not counting the two round trips to the repair shop, the wait, and the hassle. I was a bit worried that without driven wheels it would be difficult to use on the steep section of the yard. My doubts were unfounded. It is so light that I can maneuver it on the slopes more easily than the gas powered one. I have only used it once, but am very pleased with it. Wrangling the cord is an acquired skill, but after only one use I have it down pat. Will update if issues develop, but I don't anticipate any.
