Greenworks 40V 20" Mower,Axial Leaf Blower,12" String Trimmer,Chainsaw,Hedge trimmer with Batteries and Chargers

Listen, it's a battery powered mower. You are not going to mow an acre on a single battery charge, let's be real. But for my small residential yard, it works perfect. YES, the battery WILL drain FASTER when you use the self-propelled function, or when you have thick and tall grass making the motor work harder to mow, that's just the reality of it. I mow twice a week, it takes me about 45 minutes to mow, Weed Wack, and blow the clippings of the driveway, and I use both batteries fully. Upgrade to larger batteries for longer use and keep a few extra and you are good to go! You can even keep a second battery in the mower in a storage slot next to the battery being used so you can swap it out faster than a NASCAR pit stop!

To start with, I got great customer service. The shipment comes in two boxes but I was missing one of them (the hedge trimmer). The company actually notified me of this and wanted to know if I wanted a partial refund or the item. Obviously I chose the item. I have used the mower with the included 5amp hour battery and it lasts just over 1/4 of grass. I think it's because at 40 volts, the machine works harder than if it was 80 volts. But I chose this kit because everything is 40 volts and the batteries are interchangeable. The hedge trimmer is great. I used the chain saw to cut grooves in a tree stump to add that chemical to break it down. It had impressive power. The leaf blower is very powerful at 40 volts and has a "Turbo" feature. As for the battery issue, the kit includes two 2-amphour batteries and they provide the few extra minutes I need to finish the lawn and still use the weedwacker and leaf blower. I can easily buy another battery if I needed to. Overall, I found this kit to be good quality and the price was incredible. I like that I can buy future pieces of equipment and use the same battery. Greenworks had the biggest selection of tools that ran on 40volts.

My smaller and older mower went kaput this summer. It was Green Works and I’d had it for a few years. It worked great in my yard and I could mow almost my whole yard in one battery. I have sort of a fair weather yard that tends to pool rainwater a bit so grass grows and often I have to wait a bit to let it dry out. A long mow takes two batteries. With the old mower. I upped my mower with this bigger one but it appears to eat my batteries. I’m not done with my small front yard and I’ve gone thru 2 larger and two smaller batteries. I’m still not finished. I have not gotten to the back yard yet. This mower is much heavier, harder to maneuver. AND is absolutely ineffective in that my batteries lose charge within a few minutes. I have a few green works machines so I have numerous batteries fully charged. Well I did anyway. I regret spending more for this bigger mower. I’m really disappointed with its performance. I also accidentally ran over Nick the snake, so I’m mourning him too. About five years ago I met Nick, who went by Nicolas at the time, while cutting blackberries. I accidentally cut Its tail off. I was mortified of course. The following spring I spotted what appeared to be a full tailed snake, not Nick, in another part of the yard. Moments later Nick too made haste. I was happy to see the two and renamed the pair Nick and Jessica. This year I noticed their point of ingress/egress to the under-well of my home. We’ve a mice arrangement. Nick isn’t a substantial snake but he sounded substantial this morning. And now I have a Jessica snake totally unaware Nicks not returning home tonight. I checked the snake parts and saw the smooth nub of his nick. So it’s definitely Nick. Please take a moment to mourn the loss of the mighty mouser and pest killer Nick. He did a wonderful job. May Jessica forgive me and May she find new love. I’ve only ever seen the two snakes, so i don’t know if there is a pile of teaming orphans Jessica must contend with. It’s all a lot. I’m very sorry for your loss Nick. The tail part 5 years ago and for all the parts you needed to function as designed today. All of the yard mourns you; the crows Mr and Mrs Kim and their soon Tim, the Bunny Bunch, and of course it goes without saying…Mr and Mrs Impossumable.

Easy assembly, charge the battery, set the mow height and go. Worked flawlessly the first time. A week later, it would not start. I checked I was doing everything correctly and still no start. After a lengthy wait on the manufacturer's customer service line, the attendant took mine and the mower's information, verified my start-up process was correct then, asked that I change the mow height setting. It started. I changed the height several times and it started at each setting. I cannot say if this will repeat but, if yours does this, try the height setting change. I really like this mower. UPDATE 1: it’s less than a month later and I experience the same ‘no start’ situation. I call customer service again. The wait is even longer this time. While waiting, I keep searching/troubleshooting the issue and find the ‘storage switch’ is not releasing all the way and this is the problem. It sticks. . . . sometimes. It can be depressed and released quickly to get it closed so it will start. Here’s the bad news. GREENWORKS doesn’t have one in their spare parts system so their remedy is to have you go buy it yourself. BS. They told me it’s not expensive. After freight and tax it is over $25. More BS. How about they pay for and ship me the part? Isn’t that the purpose of the warranty? I will be calling them back. Update to follow.
