My backyard is almost an acre and I was able to cut half of it before the battery died. The Pro 18V is one of our favorite cordless chainsaws. We are always fans of metal bucking spikes and chain brakes, as these features aid in both safety and performance.
That said, it lacks the onboard controls and Wi-Fi connectivity that you get with our Editors’ Choice winner, the $999 Worx Landroid M 20V Cordless Robotic Lawn Mower . I got a greenworks pro 60 volt, 16 inch battery powered chainsaw. This chainsaw and yellow pine were meant for each other. With one charge I can cut 4 pine trees with an 8 inch diameter, 5 cuts in the trunk and limbs off, plus about 10 pines smaller that 3 inch trunks. I’ll cut until the battery is dead and use the logs for garden beds and burn or compost the rest. Let it cool for half an hour and an hour or two to charge.
You also don’t need to fiddle with complicated on/off switches or dials as the blades shut off automatically. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never perform these functions until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating. If you’re in the market for a professional-grade cordless chainsaw, we recommend the greenworks pro 80V. This saw cuts like a dream and it has a commendable runtime. Most of all, it has an insanely quick battery recharge time, meaning that you can spend less time watching the battery meter and more time getting your job done.
Having twin blades with twice the number of cutting edges seemed to help this mower cut the grass into even finer pieces than we’ve seen with many competing battery-powered lawn mowers. Right out of the gate we wanted to test the performance greenworks pro of this lawnmower. Having already tested the commercial model, we wanted to understand what translated to the consumer version. When you have larger blades nearly 24-inches across, you need a solid brushless motor to make it all work.
A self-propelled lawnmower takes most of the manual labor out of mowing your yard because it is powered by a transmission. Typically, this kind of lawnmower runs on gas, though there are some that are cordless electric models as well. You can find self-propelled lawn mowers that come with variable speeds, which the operator controls in order to move the mower forward. For most people, a single-speed mower will do the trick. If different people with unique walking speeds will be using it, then you may need a variable speed mower. Instead of having to push the lawnmower, though, you only have to walk behind the mower and steer it where you want to go.
The wide cutting deck allows you to mow your lawn efficiently by cutting down on the number of passes required to mow it. There is also a height-adjustment lever that lets you choose from seven cutting heights, allowing you to give your lawn a smooth, polished, even look. My Greenworks 60v handles my yard much better than my previous EGO 56v mower, mainly because the EGO mower didn’t have side discharge and plugged up at the drop of a hat.
However, it does seem to “bog” down a bit easier as some of those though. It’s important to keep your self propelled Ego Powerload String lawn mower clean, especially from the inside. Look for a mower that has a wash-out port on the deck.
