Greenworks PRO 80V 42” Electric Lawn Tractor, Riding Lawn Mower with (4) 5.0Ah Batteries and (600W) Plug in Charger

Lawn guys come and go, and all my lawn can do is grow and grow. We live in the land of 0 radius riding mowers. I want about to spend $1000+ on a ten yo used mower "with minor issues." While this mower was pricey for us, it'll pay for itself in just a few months not paying someone.This mower is amazing! I'm 64 yo woman, I had no trouble at all on about 3/4 acre lawn that was overgrown because our yard guy had to quit due to health. I used to hate mowing... Actually mowing is ok, starting mowers is what I hated.It's quiet compared to gas mowers, I listened to music on ear buds only slightly elevated volume. So easy to start. Hold button down then engage blade with grip bar. Engage wheels with other parallel grip bar. Other reviews (perhaps other models?) some complained about waiting for wheels to engage/disengage. I had none of that. Instantly moved/stopped as needed. Also, if you want to freewheel it for maneuvering, just release drive bar, push forward a couple inches to release wheel locking (presumed safety feature) then push and pull as needed.The "throttle" is great, lowest setting an easy medium pace for me in tougher areas of yard. Then I can adjust faster for flat and easy areas. I think it would be adjustable for even those with long legs and a faster pace. Large wheels made small work of our somewhat bumpy and occasionally inclined yard. Powerful enough to easily go up those inclined (15%+-) areas without lagging, and went back down at the same pace so it wasn't dragging me.The charger got the battery from 0 to 100% in about half hour.I'll try to attach a before pic of how tall the grass was, and the mower never bogged down, cut consistently and evenly, handled it like a champ. I ran without bag since there was too much to cut. And we usually had the lawn guy run bagless anyway. The bag is rather small, so that might be an issue for some. No fuel or oil to bother with, no smelly exhaust, storing with it's space saving set up is great.I cut the 3/4 acre front, side, and back lawn areas in about 35 minutes. I'd go back out and edge, but our trimmer is gas powered 😉.UPDATE 4/21/24 Well I still love the thing... And now I'm 65. Still running great BUT battery is declining. It used to stay charged for the entire front and back yard about 35-45 minutes. Now it's lasting about 30 minutes. I guess it's just trying to be sure I get a break. Other than that, it's been cutting lawn, twigs, and making gravel out of small stones. You can see dings in the blade, which I'll probably replace before next spring, but still cuts like a champ.

I've been waiting for Amazon to ask for my review on this. I research everything and spend a lot of time reading customer reviews. So take this to the bank; this is the most expensive thing I've bought on Amazon, and probably the very best thing of all. I debated about what size, how powerful the battery had to be, whether to get self-propelled, the quality of the cut, height adjustment, handle height adjustment for walking behind it, you name it.This beast does it all. My lot is 12,000 sq. ft. I debated about self-propelled or push, these mowers are lighter and my lot is pretty level and flat. I'm 70 yrs old and I will tell you, spend the extra few bucks and get the self-propelled. I find that one charge will last me through two weeks of cutting, assuming once a week. The battery charges quickly, give it an hour for a full charge. It is easy to use and has ample speed adjustment from very slow to a good pace for longer passes. Easy height adjustment for grass height and handle height for comfort. There is a 15 minute learning curve to use the engage lever so you let it go a second before you go around trees, posts, etc. But the mower is not overly heavy and you and do the short little pushes in manual mode and then go back to engage drive for your long passes. And its pretty darn quiet. I use the mulching mode and the grass is completely contained within the housing and the mower is pretty clean when I'm done. A few flicks with a garden towel and its clean and looks like new. I pull the battery out a bit to disengage it between cuttings. I almost forgot, I really like the engine sensing feature that detects when you get to heavier, thicker or taller grass. The engine compensates and you hear it spool up to a higher rev and it never bogs down. I could not be happier with it, and would never go back to a gas mower, oil changes, spark plugs, new filters, draining the gas for winter, etc. I may be a little nuts in maintaining my stuff, my little Craftsman from Sears lasted 26 years and I gave it to a neighbor, but this PRO will last the rest of my life.
