20 Best Battery Powered Lawn Mower For Small Yard (2023 Updated)

I’ve had this mower for about a month and it’s been through a lot between my and my neighbour’s acreages this unusually wet spring. I have a lot of lawn. It takes at least 4 full batteries and in spring it’s oftten 6 to mow the entire lawn here but I don’t mow it all at once most of the time.

With the rapid charger a second 5 AH battery from the CS1804 chainsaw, I can go back and forth mowing with one battery in the charger which will have its battery charged almost as fast as I can discharge the one that’s in the mower.

This mower replaces another cordless model in its 10th year. That one is still working but lacks power vs the newer ones, and I needed something to rescue the neighbour’s overgrown lawn after her lawn care person vanished.

Many reviews are from people who switched from gas but I did that long ago. When I bought my first cordless mower I was willing to sacrifice some power and convenience for a quieter, no-fumes mowing experience.

With this mower, there is no sacrifice at all. This unit outperforms cheap gas mowers and rivals commercial ones. There is little to complain about here. The mower is amazingly quiet and has decent power.

In fact the mower is amazingly powerful when it wants to be. It defaults to a low power setting and increases power output on demand. The problem is that sometimes it gets caught off guard when transitioning suddenly into thick grass which can stall it if you don’t ease the mower into a situation like that to give the mower time to adjust.

Over the time I’ve had it, I have learned how to handle situations like this, but I would have preferred a manual override on the handle, for the option of entering thick grass quickly without pause under full power.

The other flaw I have encountered is the handle height adjustment lever which sticks out from the left side of the left handle rail. This can catch on metal wire fence, which is annoying. I would have placed the lever on top or underneath that rail so that it doesn’t protrude off the side.

Other than that, this comes off as a very well made and well thought out machine. The plastic deck feels rigid and strong, certainly much stiffer than the steel deck on my previous cordless mower. And it won’t rust.

Finally, I find this mower exceedingly easy to push causing me to wonder why anybody would opt for the self propelled version. This is the easiest pushing mower I have ever used and I have some rough and hilly terrain here.

I think the deck design has something to do with this which minimizes the deck dragging against the grass. I realize this mower is an older model which makes it even more impressive. Well done EGO but I wish you would stop putting those older BA2800 batteries without the fuel gauges in with the kit.

For people with large lawns like me, it’s nice to have the status indicator on the battery. This mower is perfectly capable of dealing with huge lawns but not having the status indicator on board is a significant inconvenience.

Fortunately with the help of Rona staff I found a mower with the 3rd gen battery so I’m as happy as a clam now. I’d give 4. 5 stars if possible so rounded it up to 5 with performance and value being what it is.

I have been using a corded-electric lawnmower for about four years, and while it has worked fine it has been a hassle to drag around 150-feet of electric cord. I bought this cordless lawnmower in July, and after two months of using it I’m very happy with the results.

It is not a heavy lawnmower, so it doesn’t need to be self-propelled. And given the shape of my lawn, a self-propelled lawnmower would be much more of a headache than a benefit. Not only does this get rid of the hassle of dragging the cord around, but it has been doing a better job of cutting the grass to a nice even length.

I think part of that is that I’m able to concentrate more on the mowing, instead of constantly futzing around with the cord as I go back-and-forth on my lawn. And another part is that the wheels on the SunJoe seem a little wider than the ones on my previous lawnmower, so it tends to stay level even though the ground under my lawn is a little uneven in places.

A few people have remarked that my lawn seems to be looking better this summer, even though they don’t know I have the new lawnmower. I run the SunJoe without the clippings catcher, and (as some others have noted) the exit-path for the grass clippings tends to get blocked up when you’re not using the clippings-catcher.

This is more likely to happen when I’ve let the grass grow longer. The lawnmower starts making an odd little “thunk”-ing sound when this happens. This is a little annoying, but it only takes a few seconds to stop the lawnmower and lift up the back-flap to clear out the blockage.

I suspect there are ways to make this less likely — the most obvious one is to not wait a week after the lawn needs to be cut! (although sometimes the weather forces me to wait) I’m quite happy after two months.

I’ll be interested to see what I think of it after two or three years. As luck would have it, my lawn is large enough that the battery-charge dies about 10 minutes before I’m done with the lawn, but I have a SnowJoe snowblower which uses the exact same battery, so I can just switch batteries to finish the last section.

I bought this battery mower due to health issues. My old electric corded mower was heavy and difficult to use with my arthritis. This cordless mower is much lighter and so much easier to deal with. My lot is mid-size so I picked up a spare 60-minute battery just in case as it takes about 45 minutes to do my place and the battery that comes with the mower is only a 40-minute battery.

The spare battery was almost as expensive as the mower itself but if you need it you need it. Mower came almost totally assembled except for the handle. Sounds simple but this was actually a major pain as the pre-assembly of the handle was done incorrectly (left handed and right handed parts were reversed).

It took a while to figure out the manufacturer’s error but finally got the handle and mower together. The mower had plenty of power although when turning or lifting you have to be careful to watch that the mower doesn’t slip by itself into a shorter clipping height.

There is a handle on the mower to control this and when you are aware of it, you can avoid this minor issue but there is definitely an opportunity there for improved engineering. Also the front wheels are a little smaller than they could be which exacerbates this problem but it is not a huge issue once you get comfortable with the mower and with a little practice you can avoid it slipping into lower cutting height.

The mower deck is plastic except for the cutting blade so I don’t expect this mower to last 20 years like my last one, but overall I am extremely happy with it and it has helped me tremendously doing lawn cutting vs my old electric mower.

First thing to answer some questions: It does come with a 4AH 40V battery and charger. The box for the battery and the mower may not look pristine, but the articles inside look as they state RM Class A.

Which to me is top quality. I was amazed how a small unit like this was able to cut my front law that had not been cut for 2 weeks. More interesting it is the fact that I did it early morning while some night dew was still on the grass, so that made it what I call a stress test and the mower ad battery passed it.

Do I recommend doing it or will I do it again ? Not sure as it is easier to wait to cut the grass on a saturday or sunday evening when the grass is dry from sun exposure and that way there is less effort cleaning it at the end.

If there is any humidity on the grass blades they tend to stick to each other everywhere even under the unit which can limit the cutting effectiveness. As far as the battery goes I was amazed it lasted through this initial test I setup for it.

I had to put it back on the recharger which has a protection to allow for the battery to cool down before recharging. That’s a great feature as that way the battery stress is much less and more charge can be stored for the next use.

Product was shipped next day and it got to me in 1 extra day via fedex home in the DC area. I do recommend that SunJoe use a little more padding in the box and fill it with more plastic air bubbles. I had the slightly straighten the rear right wheel on its shaft to stop some rubbing against the side and solve a small mis-alignment on the diretion it pointed to in comparison to the other wheel.

This is a super deal. I rcommend it to anyone with a mid to small yard (i. e. up to 5000 sqft) for a single pass. If you don’t bother waiting for the battery to recharge then a wider yard would work.

Also cutting weekly during growth season when the grass is dry in the afternoon should get it to go for 35 or 40 minutes. Last advice for those who read reviews to the end. I set the height adjustment to the highest setting (6) and I believe that is the best setting to keep the grass roots strong.

I don’t recommend using less than 3 unless you will be away 2 weeks and dont want the grass to look overgrown when you return, but be warned that it may hurt the grass to the level that some bare spots may come up and take a while to recover.

The quality of cut is equal to another highly rated brand’s cordless mower that I have used on our lawn and to the 20-year-old corded mower that it replaced. With overlapping passes, the cut is nice and uniform.

Because it uses a brushed motor, it’s louder than the cordless mower’s brushless motor, but it’s about the same as the old one and a lot quieter than a gas-powered mower. The mower feels solid and like it will last for years.

Our lawn is about 0. 4 acre in size, and a cordless mower can’t cover it in a single charge. Thus, the corded Greenworks mower has a huge advantage there; it works as long as it’s plugged in! Two minor complaints: 1) The thin metal power lever sometimes causes numbness in my fingers.

The lever’s diameter should be increased or a thick slip-on pad made available. 2) The power cord unplugs easily from the mower’s socket. Greenworks should provide some type of coupling lock.

Just took possession yesterday 2/21/21. I have a small lot in Florida with a lot of river Oaks that shed their leaves (about 2″ oval, thick) about mid February. PIA to rake up, especially if you have rotator cuff problems and back problems.

I bought this because another reviewer said it worked like a vacuum cleaner / mower. I TOTALLY AGREE. The mower is light weight and maneuvers easily. It did very well mowing and picking up leaves in the 3rd position.

In taller St Augustine grass, the 2nd position would bog down and it would be very slow going, so 3rd height is better. Slightly damp leaves in shaded areas took 2 passes (one forward, 2nd backing up) Getting used to the cord management took a bit of getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, pretty easy.

(I have never owned a corded mower before. ) Always mow away from the outlet source, preferably at a ~90 degree angle to your outlet so cord follows/trails you. A 75 ft 14/3 gauge extension cord worked great.

I’m sure a cordless would be easier, but with the corded, you always have 10 amps, 120V of power. Bag works very well, held more than I thought it would! When it starts getting full, the front wheels tend to get harder to keep down on the grass and it’s harder to push.

It pays to check! The bag is a bit tricky to remove when full due to weight, easy to reattach when empty. And it vacuums better with an empty bag. I was VERY happy with how well it vacuumed up the Oak leaves! And the grass clippings left on the lawn were nearly none existant.

Nothing for the dog to track in! My neighbors were impressed also with the job it did. One thought it merely vacuumed the leaves and was amazed that it cut the grass too! So this year I cleaned up the leaves for about 1/2 the cost of having them raked and in 1/2 the time.

Greenworks hit a home run with this mighty little beast!.

Once operating the mower gets a 5. We purchased the mower to be used in our backyard around a pool. There are lots of plants and objects to be maneuvered around. The lightweight mower and the 17” cut makes the mower perfect for this area.

The pick up bag keeps it very neat right around the pool deck—no need for blowing after the cut. The 60 volt power cuts the thick grass with no effort and leaves the grass looking well manicured—no swirl patterns left and no random shoots sticking up.

I have no doubt this mower could take on larger projects. My wife is petite and she can handle the mower with no difficulty. The 17” size and the folding handle makes it almost unnoticeable against the wall in the garage.

The 4 rating was given because a small bar underneath the mower deck was bent and pressing against the height adjustment cog making the height adjustment gear on top of the mower impossible to move. I do not believe this happened in shipping because of the location of the bar.

It was most likely bent when the mower was assembled at the plant. A simple check of the height adjustment procedure once assembled would have identified this problem before the mower was packed. I would think this would be standard operating procedure.

It took me awhile to locate the problem but once I identified the bent bar, I was able to straighten it slightly—just enough to clear the height adjustment cog. Now the height adjustment button depresses with ease and the height adjustment gear moves with relative ease.

The mower has only been used for one cutting so I can say nothing about the length of time the battery last other than it lasted throughout the 30-40 minutes it took to cut the backyard. And as for durability, we will have to see.

I just got this today. At first, it wouldn’t start. Luckily, I found a discussion online that solved the problem. However the solution is a problem in itself. What is the point in having height options for the handle bar if it ONLY runs in the highest height position? I could’ve gone to Lowes and gotten the same mower but through Kobalt, and I bet it would work using any function it has.

The mower is very temperamental, too. It just randomly shuts off for no reason. And it doesn’t start right up. I have to walk with it while pushing the start button for 20-30 ft before it starts. While there are a lot of good things about this mower, the negative are outweighing the positive for me.

For the price, I definitely expected a much better product. I can honestly say this will be the only Ryobi product I will ever own. And this mower better last me for a long time.

The mower fails to start even on New fresh battery. It ran for about 10 minutes and then cut out. It appears to be a problem with the bail and the start switch. I live on Cape Cod Massachusetts and cannot find anyone to repair the unit.

Because I have other 40 v products I am very familiar with tthe System What do I do now? I make sure the bag is in place and that the battery is fully charged, properly installed and th key is in properly.

Still no go? Can I return the mower for a new one and how do I do it?.

The mower is lightweight and takes a little time learning the self propelled motion. In tight places its better to use as a push mower. The battery life is limited to one hour or less. It did a good job cutting but ran out of battery befor finishing.

Will need a second battery.

First of all I would like to thank EGO for the opportunity to provide feedback on my 21″ self-propelled lawn mower. The next thing I want to do is warning the reader that this review may be a bit long.

My sole intention is to provide as much information as possible for you to determine if this mower will satisfy your needs. All comparisons in this review will be between the 21″ EGO and a 20 year old Sears gas powered push mover having a Honda 4HP motor.

I purchased the EGO from ACME tools (no promotions) and the unit arrived on time and in flawless condition. Setup was a breeze with an easy to understand manual. My yard is approximately 5,000 ft2 with fair/average grass conditions.

Additionally I always use the mower in the mulching configuration. Now for the comparison(s). Starting: EGO drop the battery in and press go – grade A Sears fill with with gas and pull start (usually 1 or 2 pulls) – grade B Use: EGO has self drive which is great on long straight runs but is difficult in areas where you have to “manhandle” the mower around objects – grade B Sears self push but was easy to maneuver around stationary objects – grade B Fuel: EGO single battery charge can complete lawn.

This is a combination of self-propelled and push. 70% propelled / 30% push grade – A Sears is single tank of gas would complete lawn grade – N/A Mulching: EGO takes multiple passes over tall grass to completely mulch grade – C Sears single pass would mulch just about anything.

grade – A Noise: EGO very quiet no ear protection required grade – A Sears loud ear protection required grade -D Intangibles: EGO super easy height adjustment, good ergonomics except in tight maneuvers, poor mulching (going slow helps), great vertical storage option, low noise.

All this comes at a cost. Longevity is unknown? Sears in the twenty years of service required routine maintenance (plugs, air filter, oil change) and 2 recoil starters. Required proper winterization.

Summary: I am not sorry I purchased this particular EGO mower and will continue to use it until it fails. However, if I knew what I know now I would not of purchased this particular model. The mulching ability is poor and it takes me longer to cut my grass because I have to move slower.

Maneuverability around objects can be tough because you can not adjust the handle. The quietness and vertical storage are huge pluses. The battery has one bar left after cutting my lawn. And of course longevity on any electric mower is TBD? The Sears/Honda mower provided 20 years of solid performance but required routine maintenance.

The motor remained strong but the mower deck was rusting through.

This EGO mower is great. Cuts better than gas – no fumes, no cranking problems, no oil or spark plugs, and much less noise. Very little maintenance; keep blades sharp, lubricate wheel bearings, pivot pin, & spring once or twice a season.

Cuts great even at highest self propelled speed. You get (2) 4 Ah batteries, however this model only holds 1 battery at a time. I think it can accept up to a 7. 5 Ah battery, which is twice as heavy.

However it works great with (1) 4 Ah at a time. Plus the rapid charger will have your second battery charged, before your 1st one runs down. Kit also includes bag, a mulching plug, and side discharge piece.

I mowed 1/2 acre and used 1 battery, and about 25% of second battery. The biggest advantage is the 4 Ah battery size works with all EGO tools, and it is light enough to carry around with my leaf blower, trimmer, and multitool edger and cultivator.

I actually chose this model to get (2) 4 Ah batteries, because even though my 5 year old EGO batteries (and tools) still work, I knew it was time to get replacements. Plus the rapid charger is so much faster than my 5 year old standard charger.

I also like the small right side activator for the self-propel function. Just release activator with your thumb, push the handle down to easily turn on the inactivated rear wheels, and easily reapply self-propelled activator to take off again.

Some models have 2 pressure activators across the handle, which seem to be more cumbersome to operate in the turns. This is a new kit for 2022, it was not listed online yet, but my local Ace Hardware was able to get one shipped to store within a few days.

Besides a flawed self-propel feature and a general feeling of “not quite the power of gas”, I’m happy with my Ego lawnmower. I am thrilled by the quite operation and the fact that it easily mows my yard on one charge; these would make it a clear winner over my old gas mower, but with the flaws it’s more of an even replacement.

Let me talk about the self-propel feature. You cannot self-propel forward, release the self-propel lever, and pull back. If you try to, the drive wheels lock-up. Instead you must let go of the self-propel lever, coast forward for about a foot, and then you can pull back.

This is super annoying when mowing under bushes or other times that I want to move back and forth regularly. The problem is compounded by the rear whiles being the drive wheels, as I can’t just “tilt up” the mower to coast backwards.

I wonder if I would have been better-off buying the cheaper non-self-propelled option. I’m a mechanical engineer. I suspect the problem is that the self-propel motor is behind a high-ratio gear train which is not back-drivable.

So even though the motor is no longer generating torque, the gear train is wound-up. This could be resolved by using a different gear train (perhaps one more rigidly mounted),adding an activated clutch closer to the drive wheels to disengage the motor, by commanding a short reverse motion on the motor to unload the gear train when the handle is released, or adding an overrunning clutch somewhere.

Most of these solutions would add cost, but this is such an annoying feature on an otherwise well-designed tool.

I loved this more when I first purchased it. It was easy and light to use and did a great job. It actually made mowing fun. But then the end of the first season as soon as the battery lost a bar the mower would start to shut off.

Then the second season it got worse and now doesn’t even start. We followed every rule of storing and handling the battery with care. We live in NY so we only use it a few months out of the year, It’s a shame we didn’t even get a full season use.

I have tried contacting Greenworks customer service multiple times by email and phone call and have never received a reply or have been on hold for an extended amount of time with no response. What good is a warranty if it’s not backed up.

I want to love this so bad but with the lack of customer service it has been disappointing.

This little mower is pretty cool. It’s very light, and, as a result, it’s very easy to operate, even with one hand. It only has a 14″ cut, so, it’s better for smaller spaces, but, I use it in my backyard, which actually isn’t that small, and, it works quite nicely.

It cuts really well, too. I live in West-Central Florida, and we have some sturdy grasses, here, like Bahia and St. Augustine, and this little mower just plows through ’em! No problem. Even grass several inches tall, too! It comes with a small rear bag, which works well.

It also works without that bag, but, if I don’t want to empty the small bag all the time, I just don’t! I leave the bag FULL, and just keep cutting. It actually seems to work better than removing the bag, because it adds a little more weight to it, whereas if I remove it, it’s such a light mower, it a little bit “jumpy”, as I walk over uneven terrain.

But, really, either way, it’s nice little mower. This 14″ battery-powered mower, which cost me $145 online, in June ’21, is not offered at my local W*M store. The cheapest battery mower is about $250, at the store.

! That’s likely a bigger mower, but, this little one is a real bargain, for smaller spaces! BTW, I’ve noticed that it seems to have an unmentioned “feature”, where, at first, it starts-up running the blade at a decent speed, but then, after a minute or so, it suddenly speeds up to a much higher rate! I’ve decided that IF I want to HURRY around the yard, I just walk much faster when it speeds-up.

BUT, if I want to take my time AND conserve the battery, when it speeds-up, I just let-go of the control lever, and let it come to a stop. Then, I start it up again, and continue mowing at the slower blade speed, using less battery juice.

until it speed-up again. Then, repeat as needed. FYI, the included charger is not “smart”, so, it must be unplugged manually when it completes charging, so as to avoid damaging the battery. It DOES show a red LED when charging, which turns green when it’s done, so, you know when to unplug it.

(The Manual says it takes 4 hours to charge. So, I just put it on an AC Timer, set for 4 hours, so it won’t over-charge. ) So, short story, long, the Sun Joe MJ401C is a nice little mower. I’d recommend it, if you need a small, lightweight battery-powered mower.

Have fun!.

Pros: It is a good sized mower for small to medium size yards. I did some testing on tall grass and this mower handles it pretty well as well. I was initially concerned whether the battery would hold charge, but in the first few times we used it the battery laster around 40 minutes.

Cons: The battery is embedded with the mower and I am concerned that over a period of time when it deteriorates, there isn’t an easy way to replace it. However it comes with 2 yrs warranty and at this price point it may not be a major concerns.

Another minor concern is regarding the height adjustment. You have to manually change the height of each of the wheel to adjust mowing depth.

I bought this exactly a month ago and over the first few times of using it, I was blown away with the overall experience. I have used it only about 5-6 times and yesterday the motor quit mid-cut and would not start up again.

The battery still had 3/4 of a charge left on it. Despite that, I recharged the battery overnight and tried it again this morning. Nothing. still dead. Tried an extra battery. still dead. Checked over everything multiple times including all contact points, key, batteries (2).

The real kick to the teeth is when I called support to get a warranty claim started and I was told to take it to one of two service centres. Both of them are ridiculously far away and I have no idea how and when I will get the unit there for warranty repair.

This is NOT a good experience anymore and I now regret my purchase despite how much I loved this thing right out of the box. Unless you are retired or unemployed with plenty of time to drive through traffic to get this flawed product fixed, I would suggest looking at another product instead.

This product and the support that comes with it are NOT recommended.

My new Ryobi electric lawnmower is FANTASTIC! I bought it a few days ago and have been somewhat skeptically awaiting the time to get out and mow. Having never used a battery powered mower, I had low expectations, although the reviews made this one sound like it might be up to the task.

I finally got out last night and I wish I could give it 6 stars. No gas or oil to deal with. No exhaust fumes to have to inhale. And best of all MUCH less noise! I can listen to music or a podcast while mowing.

One really nice surprise was when I hit a longer/thicker section of the lawn and, rather than bogging down like my old gas mower, it seemed to auto-accelerate and cut through it! Seriously – this mower is priced about the same as gas mowers and is in a different universe compared to gas.

I will never go back. I have an average suburban lot (66′ x 100′) and a single battery covered me without recharging. Hopefully it’s durable. Time will tell.

To prepare for my retiring, we decided to cut expenses and buy a lawn mower. This 80V cordless mower turned to be a perfect purchase. It saved enough in one summer to pay for itself and the battery, which was nice, but the other benefits became obvious through that summer.

It is light, so getting out and mowing is not a laborious activity, and it is quiet, so my ears aren’t worn out. When you let go of the power lever, the motor shuts off, making it silent and conserves the battery.

It doesn’t emit fumes or require filling, transporting, and storing a gas can. There are many fewer mechanical parts to maintain and divine reasons for it not working. The 5Ah battery does my front and back yards (100′ by 50′ each).

It probably would last longer, by I charge the battery immediately after use so that the degree of discharge is minimized, making the battery have a longer life overall. Its easy to clean: just take the battery out and powerwash its undercarriage.

There is one simple and easy height adjustment lever. The cruise control is nice to have for thicker patches, but I rarely use it since it uses more of the battery. It is powerful enough to plow through thick and tall grass, and if it senses that it needs more power, it automatically delivers it for as long as it needs to.

I will have to wait to see how long the batteries last. They are expensive (as are competing companies’ batteries) and it would be a shame if they didn’t last long. If that’s the case, Greenworks could follow the lead of those companies that provide a corded adapter that plugs into the battery slot.

In any case, at the time of this writing, I am thrilled with this mower and the company in general.

PROS: * 2 batteries lets you alternate them and mow continuously for 1-2 acres before running out of juice. * Light weight and easy to maneuver. * Awesome fast charger. * Batteries are light weight and very simple to attach, detach, and charger.

CONS: * Overpriced. This is a good mower, but there isn’t nearly as much value in it. It should be priced about 30% lower to make it worthwhile. * An odd delay when starting it every time * An equally odd delay when shutting it off.

It keeps spinning for a couple of seconds after you turn it off. If there’s an emergency this could be dangerous. * There’s an inexplicable front plastic bumper-spacer several inches wide that makes it impossible to mow up close to an obstacle, requiring you to turn it sideways, which is not practical most of the time.

This is a major design flaw, IMO. * Regardless of the 80v, it’s no more powerful than the cheapest gas mowers on the market. Thicker grass shuts it off continuously. It badly needs a rpm knob to turn up the power when necessary.

My $100 gas mower is slightly more powerful than this one. * The lowest height setting is only about the middle setting on a regular gas mower. It will not go as low as I’d like sometimes. * The “mulch plug” is a frustrating attachment that keeps clogging up the side discharge and must be removed every time you switch to the bag.

A plastic flap would be so much simpler and not clog up the bottom of the mower so much. * Manual says you have to buy replacement blades from the company. I am hoping this isn’t the case when that time comes.

* The rear rubber flap is very flimsy and was bent out of shape permanently within only minutes of the first use. Without the “mulch plug”, it likely would be shooting rocks and grass back at you in no time.

While this mower has several design flaws that need to be fixed, it’s a good machine for people with smaller yards and grass that isn’t thick or weedy. But for larger yards, it’s a frustrating piece of equipment to use and requires a lot of attention and battery swapping to keep it operating.

Great mower for the price. It cuts well and the push button start is completely convenient. It’s good that it comes with two batteries and a quick charger as it took me 4 charges to cut my lawn. It will likely get better battery “mileage” when cutting regular lawns.

My lawn was grown up with knee high rye grass and put strain on the mower’s battery life. I did have to make two passes on several occasions in order to cut the highest grass that I had. Overall thought, I highly recommend this mower.

It’s very quite as well.

I purchased Select Cut with 7. 5Ah battery as it was advertised to run 60 minutes, and my old self propelled gas mower took about an hour to get through my whole yard (it’s about 9500 sq feet. I have had the mower for a few weeks now, and am overall quite pleased with it.

It cuts well, I only notice a few blades here and there that it misses, and it does actually last about an hour. The first run I did was with the mulching blade installed, and I didn’t use the self propel feature.

I made it through the whole yard no problem. I then changed to the bagging blade as lawn care people fertilized everything, and my grass was quite deep and thick. I didn’t quite make it through the whole yard, but thanks to my purchase of an Ego String Trimmer, I just stole the 2Ah battery from it, and kept on going until I was done.

So nice to have this safety blanket. I still had enough juice in the smaller battery to finish my edging. Even if I didn’t, the battery charges quite quickly. Today, the grass was not as long, and extremely dry.

I decided to see how the self propel worked. It appears that both rear wheels are on a single axle, so turning while under self propulsion is a little difficult. Otherwise the self propel feature works wonderfully.

Easy to pick a comfortable speed with the handlebar knob adjuster. With bagging, self propulsion, and having to make about 5 stops to empty the bag (which holds WAY more than my old gas mower did), the battery was able to finish the yard with a little left to spare.

Actual run time was about 55 minutes. Certainly not the cheapest choice, but the mower is comfortable to use, the battery charges extremely fast, and whoever designed the single handle deck height adjustment lever is a hero.

The only minor issues are ones that I saw reported by other users. The self propel feature takes a second to kick in once you push the button, and takes a second to stop after you let go of the button.

After a little use, making the timing adjustment becomes second nature. The other oddity is when the back wheels lock up if you aren’t using self propulsion. Easy fix if you just pull it backward for a few inches to unlock whatever gets stuck.

I haven’t tried it in the dark yet with the headlights. Definitely need to do this though. simply because I can.

One of the best mowers out there! Good design, light weight, high torque, good battery life. Design is good with height adjustment from 1 inch to 4 inches in increments. This is good for more rough terrain so the blades dont clip any rocks.

The handle is adjustable to different angles for mowing comfort. After using a gas powered mower this mower is light, making it more maneuverable and easier to mow your lawn. The brushless motor is powerful, easily making a rough back yard into a manicured area.

The battery is a powerhouse. I used a previously purchased 5Ah battery before using the supplied 7. 5Ah battery. Just using the 5Ah battery I was able to mow our 0. 15 acre back yard without any problems or changing the battery.

Another great idea is the two blade mowing system. Great for really mulching the grass which leads me to the next feature. This mower is set up for either rear discharge, mulching or bagging with the included grass catcher.

I really like the powered rear wheels. This feature makes mowing up a hill much easier. I also like the way you adjust the speed of the powered – an adjustable speed wheel on the mower’s handle. Another a good feature is the LED lights on the deck.

Good for mowing at night. but who really mows their lawn at night unless your’e a commercial outfit. While the design, weight and power is great with this machine, there are a few draw backs. The rear flap between rear wheels is easily cut by the blades when the mower is pulled backwards.

Another concern is the wheels. While they look sturdy, they probably are but with a more rough terrain, they might not hold up. I’m hoping if they do fail there is a more sturdy alternative. The mower is packaged very well.

No bumps, scratches or nicks. However, I did not appreciate the redundant advertising that is really unnecessary that was attached to the mower. I’ve done my research and know what I wanted to purchase and the advertising in the mower section at Lowe’s was sufficient for me to make my choice.

But all the additional advertising that was on the machine was very wasteful and unnecessary. I hope the marketing team will realize this and make a change to more eco-friendly sustainable packaging.

This mower replaced a 5-year-old EGO and was purchased primarily to gain the self-propelled feature and a new battery. The old EGO it replaced (sold) had worked without problems giving me some faith in EGO reliability.

So far (two mowings) it’s my impression that the Select Cut two blade system does a slightly better job cutting the grass than my old EGO, maybe smaller clippings and more vacuum (I almost always bag the clippings).

Battery life has been at least an hour. The self-propelled feature is so far somewhat of a disappointment. It does not seem very user friendly to me. I am always engaging it accidentally due to the button placement (I will probably hopefully eventually adapt to this).

It should also be more easily speed-adjustable on the fly, like my old Personal Pace Toro gas mower. The drive system also sometimes does not want to disengage making manually pushing or pulling it require much more effort.

The worst part of purchasing this mower however, by far, was doing it through Lowes. I ordered it on-line and received it in a box that had been opened and then tapped shut (I found later that these boxes are glued not tapped shut at the factory).

I found that the grass clipping bag and the instruction manuals were missing. EGO service would not just send me the missing items, I had to make another 25-mile round trip to Lowes to get them. (This generated some anger in me, my apologies to the EGO service guy who was just following EGO policy.

) The service guy at Lowes first tried to give me a bag from another brand of mower and print the 175-page manual (forgetting the battery and charger manuals). When I pointed out that that the bag was not an EGO bag, he opened a glued shut box containing the exact same model EGO mower that I had purchased and took out the bag and manuals to give to me.

(Who will now get this box after they tape it shut?) Why I was not just given the unopened box to start with is beyond me, I doubt it just came in less than 24 hours after I had picked up the opened box.

I also doubt I will buy anything through Lowes on-line again.

Since purchasing this past summer I have great things to say about this little mower. It was easy to assemble right out of the box and got to work on my yard without complaint. The edge guards on this mower are set appropriately to get a clearly defined cut along the decorative elements of my yard.

The mower is extremely light weight, even with the batteries on board. It is maneuverable and can get into some tough spaces my yard possesses. It has quite a bit of suction as well, able to pick up all of the clippings as you go.

We have Kentucky bluegrass for the majority of my Ohio yard. My yard is small at just 4500 sq ft so I can mow the entire property three times before needing to recharge the mower*. *= when grass height is not over 8 inches and when there are not a lot of leaves on the ground.

There are a couple of drawbacks I have experienced with this mower however. First, the ride height is not as advertised. At the top setting there is only 2. 75 inches of clearance for the blade from the ground.

Due to this I have to keep the blades set quite high so as not to harshly catch edges of the lawn accidentally and to avoid some of the roots exposed just above the level of the grass. This was not a problem with my previous mower which on setting four, cleared this easily.

The other issue I have come across is the knobs used to hold the handle on. They extend two inches outside of the width of the mower and make it more difficult to edge along my fence line without getting snagged.

I have remedied this with smaller profile wing nuts but with the snow blower I purchased, it uses screws that tighten like a bike wheel or seat, a latch style screwing mechanism with a very low profile.

This would be a needed upgrade. Otherwise, if you have a smaller yard, this is a great little mower capable of getting the job done.

As an engineer I checked the batteries and put into charge and they are 100%. I hear the switch on the top of the handlebar clicking so it should be good. The “key” in the battery compartment is in and battery contacts have been sprayed to ensure good contact.

Hard to imagine what else could be wrong as I used it 3 times last year for very small area that my John Deere’s can’t reach due to their size. Just tried it this year and (as stated) it will not start.

I see no indication that there is a fuse or fuse link anywhere. I tried to download a manual from the web and it would not allow me to download an entire manual but rather to only view one page at a time.

Pretty disappointed.

My 1st battery mower, of 16 years, died last Fall. It was a Neuton that was much heaver than this one. I love how light weight this one is! I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks but here are my suggestions for the manufacturer.

Since I’m a petite 5’2″ lady I find the handle too long. My old Neuton had a 3 position option so just adding a least one more hole would help. The clear top of the battery housing won’t stay open when putting in and taking out the batteries (very annoying).

Also, when the battery locks are held in for removal, it takes a lot of “umph” to pull the batteries out so I have to use a bunjie cord to hold open the clear top. (wish the batteries were easier to remove).

Other than those issues, I am very pleases with how many blade height options and the bag or mulch option. Plus it is very handsome :).

I bought this from an online auction 2 years ago. I have had it for 2 seasons and it’s cut wonderfully every time I’ve used it. This mower has an issue with grass build up in the side chute, but I can live with that.

A few weeks ago, I go out to my shed to cut the lawn, and all it does is. nothing. Beeps at me twice. The battery wasn’t full so I charged it up full (it doesn’t take long, these batteries are great!) and tried again.

Still beeps. To google I go a-hunting for an answer. Greenworks doesn’t provide and answer on the site so I do some digging. Couple articles and Youtube videos later points to a bad battery, or a computer fried somehow.

Greenworks is proud of these batteries (For good reason!) and the computer is told to me to be around $30 U. S, so let’s start there. My issue, there’s no part number on this computer block at all, and, to make things worse, there is ZERO results when looking for the part.

Greenworks doesn’t list any internal part on their site at all. Guess it’s a secret or something. My serial number for my mower isn’t in their database it seems. (GWZ0110162) (01/11/20 build date) So, my experience for 2 seasons with this mower was amazing.

Self propelled system was almost too fast to keep up with, which was great to get the yard done quickly. The automatic rpm adjustment made the thick spots in my yard seem like they weren’t even there.

I give 4 stars because of the lack of parts available to fix my issue (it’s quite simple to pull the computer out, 10 screws, couple clips, easy) added to the fact their is no part number to even find the part I need.

This is my first battery operated lawn mower. I’ve watched and waited for years to see them get stronger and batteries last longer. I am pleased I waited. This little self propelled mower can mow my.

25 acre property with battery to spare. Then I put battery in my new 80V backpack blower and clear off the sidewalk and driveway. This model is much lighter than my previous gas self-propelled model.

I can push it up my graded lawn with ease without using the self-propelled feature, though I appreciate the self-propelled assist when called upon for the long incline runs across the back yard. The self-adjusting power feature means the mower takes a moment to get up to a good walking speed (which is also adjustable) using self-propelled feature, but once there it maintains well.

Cutting performance is just as good as my conventional gas mower. Well done Greenworks! Customer service even walked me though a hiccup at first use (push and hold the green start button first, then engage the blade lever to hear mower start) and gave me other tips on my other purchases, saving another call.

They were courteous, professional and very helpful. A good experience for me. Now I feel confident in replacing all the gas yard equipment.

Having owned many gas powered mowers I was skeptical about buying a battery powered mower, but as usual I had the routine starting and continual running problems with my last gas mower. Fed up with the same old problems I made the plunge and bought this Greenworks Pro 60V.

It helped that this model was actually comparable in price to a respectable name gas power mower. I’ve used this for about 1 season now to cut my front and back yard (1/4 acre of fairly thick grass), which takes about an hour and 15 minutes to cut.

This mower is very well balanced and I find myself not needing the self propelled assist at all. My son is quite a bit younger and he uses the self propelled function the entire time. Not using the self propelled will allow me to cut the front and back on one battery.

Using the self propelled will use all of one battery and about 25% of the second battery. The charger is pretty fast in my opinion (I’ve been using cordless power tools for a long time and this is on par with everything i’ve owned).

Note, the fan on the charger is fairly loud and remains on while the charger is plugged in, but its not overwhelming. The power switch between batteries is seamless and the handlebar (dashboard) battery life indicator is nicely designed.

The deck adjuster is very easy to use (one hand) and the handlebar height adjustment and rubber padding is an ergonomic plus. The mower is made with good materials and tightly constructed. If I were to guess (as a safety professional) I would estimate the mower to be around 70 decibels (dBA) under load.

No hearing protection needed, and I rarely say that. The added benefit of the low sound and vibration is that your hands and arms do not get fatigued after mowing for an extended time, and parts on the mower itself aren’t as susceptible to getting loose.

Best of all is the push button start (worth every penny). It doesn’t boast the same power as many of its gas powered counterparts but it’s sufficient and if you don’t let your grass get ridiculously high you’ll never have a problem.

I don’t see myself converting back to gas powered mowers after owning this and yes, I would recommend this mower as an excellent product.

I currently have 1/3 of an acre of mowable grass and I was looking for a battery operated mower to replace my 10 year old gas powered, push mower that was on it’s last legs. My criteria for my the new mower was to have enough battery power to mow my lawn in one pass, self propulsion when needed as I’m 70 and not getting any younger, a metal frame instead of plastic, upright storage, and a price under $600.

This mower checked all my boxes and then some as it came with 2 60V batteries. The two batteries can be used simultaneously with the second battery taking over when the first one runs out of juice. Plus, the charger will charge both at the same time and in under 45 minutes.

The self propulsion has easy access on the handle with an adjustible speed which makes mowing my sloped lawn alot easier. One battery is all it takes to do my lawn but I am clearing some more land that will bring my mowable surface to well over 1/2 acre.

This mower will easily handle the additional surface with it’s battery power. I love the quick start button, no fumes, a motor that senses grass depth and thickness and adjusts it’s power accordingly, and a three way grass output system that mulches, has a side chute, and a rear end grass or leaf catcher.

It was very easy to assemble, stores upright in my narrow deck storage compartment, and even came with an extra blade. It’s also very quiet which allows me to use it in the cool, early morning hours without disturbing my neighbors.

Plus, no more draining the gas and oil in the fall, and tuning a motor in the spring. Just charge the batteries and go.

I bought this mower a month ago (May 2022) to replace a gas mower that had issues starting. So far so good. I’m happy with the results. The mower comes with an extra set of blades and cuts pretty even.

It has a 1 lever self adjustment. No need to adjust all 4 wheels like a gas mower. Although its rear wheel propelled. It has a lot of power to go up hills, even with near a full bad of grass w/o spinning wheels.

I have a little under 1/2 acre to mow and I can mow my yard 2. 5 times before charging the battery. What I don’t like about the mower are the fragile hand levers to start the mower or self propel. They are made of plastic with is fine but it needs to be a heavier plastic and maybe no so long.

The longer levers make it easy to catch the pocket of your shorts when you are turning the mower (I’ve done it a few times already). Its pretty easy to adjust the handle height which I like. However when the mower is completely folded and you want to unfold it.

You need to lift the handle slightly or the buttons on the side wont allow you to open. Again not a big deal, just something to be aware of When the battery changes from one to the other, it goes into turbo speed.

Its slowing down because the 1st battery is slow and then all of a sudden. It switches batteries and takes off! Once you adjust to that, it seems to switch back to the old battery because it slows down and then switches to the new battery and takes off again.

The 1st time it did that I thought the mower was broken but then realized what it was doing and now I’m use to it. Other than that no issues. The mower works better than expected. It has a turbo mode but I don’t see a reason to use it.

Its a bit pricey for $700+ especially if you’re just trying to switch from gas to electric and your gas mower is still functional. I caught it on sale during Memorial Day and bought it at a pretty low price.

I’m giving a Good rating and not Excellent because of the price point.

IšverstiShow in original languageThe mower comes packaged well in the box and is easy to assemble. I assembled it by myself in about 15 minutes. It is very lightweight and easy to push, kind of like pushing a shopping cart.

It does a very nice job cutting the grass and I was able to do a third of an acre on a single charge. The mower is very quiet even on high power mode in longer grass. I deducted one star because the battery is a different size than the other 80 volt pro tool batteries that I already have, and also because the branding and information stickers on the mower are so thin that they appear wrinkled.

When I bought this mower I assumed incorrectly that I would be able to use the batteries from my snowblower and string trimmer and tiller, but that is not the case. Even so I like the mower and recommend it.

IšverstiShow in original languageI bought this mower to replace an old gas mower. It wasn’t the first time I had tried replace the old mower. Twice before, the battery powered mowers just weren’t satisfactory in terms of their cut quality and speed.

I was a little worried that the same thing would be true with this mower. Not the case. This mower required very little set up and I am very pleased. It’s quiet, doesn’t spell as bunch of CO2 and does a great job.

My lawn isn’t huge, but I do mow it once a week or so when it’s growing. This mower is particularly adept at mulching, which I really didn’t expect from a battery powered mower. Greenworks hit one out of the park with this mower.

IšverstiShow in original languageI really bought it for the battery to give my chain saw extra run time, I thought it was self propelled but it’s not. However the light weight & large wheels make it reasonably easy for a 62 year old to push if you’re smart & mow the most level direction rather than going around in circles.

The biggest surprise was that it mulches better than it side discharges, especially surprising since I am not an enthusiastic mower & the grass get’s very tall sometimes. I like that it’s very light with the battery out & is east to flip over & clean thoroughly when finished – I just store it in a spare room between mows.

I still wish I had self propelled but this one works well for what it is. As for the battery – it works in the chain saw but makes it quite heavy.

Being a woman in my 70’s and getting tired of using electric mowers for40 yrs, I inquired about the cordless at HD. The salesman sold me on this model. First, no cords , I can go in any direction without running into anything with cords.

2. Being 20 inches , really cut down mowing time compared to my 15. 3. One touch height adjust is super 4. The bag is so easy to empty , instructions to assemble on Youtube, as compared to my other cloth bags that I shook forever 5.

Love the fold down handles , easier to store. 6. Battery was easy to charge and I was able to do both the front and back yard , which are large on the one charge. 7. Good warranty. 5 yrs, and 3 on battery.

8. The self-propel, my favourite feature! The first day I used this feature , I thought oh so great ! The next cutting, I was worried that either I was over tired or the feature was not working. After all , I had emptied the bag, checked to see nothing was caught in blades, recharged the battery and still I found the mower so hard to push around ; the machine is not light with the heavy battery in it.

After huffing and puffing and almost finishing the front lawn, I noticed a Speed button , and thought what does this do , so I cranked it up to max from the off postion. Oh my ! who needs a magic carpet , I was flying around the yard at top speed , got a great aerobic workout.

Wonderful feature, just what I needed making mowing so easy. But , just be careful, that you let go of the self-propel handles near people, dogs, basement windows, plants. You don’t want to propel yourself onto someone and get throttled ! Very happy with my purchase !.

Unboxed and tried this for the 1st time yesterday. I had 2 4. 0 ah from a previous purchase so I did not have to wait for the new 6. 0 ah to charge. It self propels {Don’t push button to start blade) to where I began mow.

(Mulch plug in) I left the wheels quite high for the 1st 25 foot pass. pass and it zipped right through. I lowered it 2 notches and tried another pass right beside it. Voila! it zipped through again.

I tried a 60 foot run with walking speed on high and it did a bit of a wheelie when taking off. This was too fast for my pace so I thumbed the speed back to about 1/3. I had an area with deeper growth and it revved-up (startled me) on it’s own for a few seconds but maintained the pace.

It revved a few more times during cutting but I got used to it. The battery died(4. 0 ah) about 3/4 of the way through and used the 2nd one to finish. (60ft X 70 ft) 25 mins. Cleaned it up easily with my blower.

Folded up quickly and stowed it. Very light weight. I am so glad to ditch the gas and fumes. Next time I will try the side discharge and also the bag. I am sure the gas mower is more powerful but for me this is more than powerful enough.

Gas mower for sale cheap.

I wanted to replace the 20 years old gasoline, it is still running top shape, but I want to be more environmental friendly, not just blah blah. I was looking for 21” blade, self-propelled, this Ryobi 40V fits the bill with a good rebate, also free shipping to my home.

Just did the lawn today and simply very delight by the performance of the 40V, plenty of power and the self-propelled quite good, I have to lower to slower speed, also the lawnmower is so light you can easily push it to maneuver in tight location.

The blade also very sharp out-of-the-box, I leave clipping on the lawn, clipping very good. I finished the job in no time, there is 2/4 bars left on the battery. Those who think 40V is not powerful, it is plenty powerful.

So if you are looking for a good priced battery lawnmower this one surely make you happy.

Here we go… So this little mower is more amazing than I thought. It is the size of one of the smaller gas powered ones but boy does it cut!! The battery last around 40 minutes although I have not timed it.

In my back yard there are some deep holes from the previous owner’s animal so you can imagine the ground is not flat. There are also sticks, leaves and small areas of hills around the fence, but this small thing powered through!! I did not attach the grass catcher bc I feel it’s a waste of time.

I’ll just use a leaf blower if the cut grass bothers me. My fiancé is not too impressed he feels gas powered if the only way to mow (side eye). The ONLY downside is the battery charging. I can say honestly I have not gotten through the back or front yard completely without having to charge the battery.

And the charging to full capacity can take a few hours. I know batteries are not cheap but I would say it is worth it to invest in another battery to be able to switch between the two. I do not want a gas mower, I don’t want to have to store it, or run to the gas station to get it, or have to deal with the loud noise or extra vibrating handle.

I love my electric. 4/5 stars because of the battery. Other than that, this mower is GREAT!!! (Especially great for women, older and junior folks. Men will also enjoy if they’re not stuck on the gas powered motor).

I have had the mower for about a month now, I have to say I’m impressed with a little guy. The battery lasts exactly as long as I need it to cut around the house. With constant running, I get about 45-60 minutes out of it.

The cut that I get is actually pretty good. It seems like a small size blade, but they have engineered some type of fan system that pulls the grass up as it cuts and the little blade just does a great job.

Honestly I did not expect to be this happy with this mower. This is certainly not a mower for someone who neglects their yard, and only cuts it when the grass is very tall, I don’t think it would do a very good job.

But if you’re one that’s consistent with your mowing schedule and keep your yard trimmed, this mower is perfect. it is super lightweight and very easy to move around. So far the only downside I see to the mower is that you have to call or go online to order blades directly from Harbor freight.

No mower supply store has these blades, and they do not sell them at the HarborFreight stores. With the blade being as small as it is I think I would be lucky to be able to sharpen it 1-2 times. As often as I cut my grass I’m thinking I will use two blades per year.

You do have to buy the entire blade assembly @ $24. 99 each. So operating costs will be determined by how often you sharpen the blade, how durable the blade is and how long it keeps its edge. If I think about it I will come back and update the review when I change the blade the first time, and how long I got out of it.

My 15 year old Toro recycler drive train has been failing for some time. I am a retired small engine mechanic so I am very comfortable with gas equipment, not so with the electric. After some debate, I decided to give electric a shot.

With the cost of gas, oil, filters etc. the electric was appealing. Now the issue was which brand do I buy? I looked at many many reviews and saw the Atlas brand in a few. So happens that Harbor Freight had just opened a new store in my town.

So off I went to look the mowers over. Then the question was self propelled or push? My yard is a typical, for our area, 70’x150′. The house and garage take up a good portion but I still have a decent sized lawn to cut.

My yard is flat, while I am 70 years old I found the push version to be very easy to maneuver. Some of the reviews said that the self propelled machines used up battery at quicker pace, makes sense as you are running another motor.

I opted for the 56998 push version of the mower. I got it with the slow charger, 56993, and two 57014 batteries. I got the two batteries based on reviews that said run times were in the 40 to 50 minute range.

I wanted to be able to do my yard in one shot and not have to wait for a battery to charge in order to finish. I like the fact that if you load 2 batteries into the mower, as one wears down it would shift to the second, nice feature.

I charged up the 2 batteries, I also labeled them as “A” and “B” along with the date I put them into service so I can keep an eye on how each is performing. I needed to cut my back yard so after messing with the cut height, I found position 4 closely duplicated what the Toro used to do.

Now the grass behind my garage grows in heavy, I noticed the mower ramp up from the 40 volt run to 80 volt and as soon as I was out of the heavy stuff it went back to 40 volts, another nice feature that will save battery life.

After finishing the cut about 25 minutes and bagging the clippings I checked the batteries. To my surprise the B battery which was mounted in the right battery tray showed it had only used 1 bar on the gauge! The A battery was still 4 bars, fully charged! Today I cut the whole lawn and again bagged the clippings.

I only loaded 1 battery to see what would happen and again to my surprise the battery, when finished, had used 3 bars of power! Had I known this I may have only bought 1 battery to start with. I think as time goes the battery life may shorten but for now I am impressed.

The mower has the same power as the old Toro and nowhere near as noisy. One thing, the bag, while easy to put on and take off and empty, does not hold nearly as much as the Toro bag did. This is minor just had to empty more often.

At some point I will put in the plug and try mulching to see what happens. For now I am happy with my mower I will update this review after using it for the season.
