If you have a small space or hard-to-reach areas that usually need to be hand-raked , this cordless blower may be worth the investment. One drawback to the Greenworks’ design is that it must be stored indoors so inclement weather doesn’t affect the battery’s ability to hold a charge. We prefer to keep our yard equipment in our shed or garage, but in this case, we’ve had to make room for it in the basement.
Greenworks was thoughtful enough to include headlights on the Pro 60V Lawn Mower—headlights! The LED lights are bright and can allow extra minutes at dusk to finish mowing a lawn. The lights are bright enough to mow in the dark if you want without disturbing anyone. But that’s not recommended in bug-infested Florida, so I don’t. Note that the lights are always on—there is no on/off switch.
The benefit is a mower that produces less heat, is quieter, and generates better performance. As I mowed by lawn, I could tell when the motor revved up in thick grass and revved down in thin, lower grass. Before cleaning the mower, unclogging or removing the grass bag, mulching insert, or side discharge chute, turn the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop, then remove the battery pack. 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. A freshly cut lawn goes a long way to giving your property a neat, well manicured look, but it takes a lot of work to keep it looking that way.
Greenworks also includes a high-lift set of blades in the kit which produces better results when bagging at the expense of some runtime. One odd thing we noticed while cutting was that you can’t instantly roll backward when needed. You first have to push the mower forward a little bit to disengage the drive. This can be frustrating when you need to do this rapidly over and over again in corners and near obstructions.
At the time of the article, the Saw plus a charger and one battery are priced at $249.99 which is a great value. Switching between stores will remove products from your current cart. Allowing for three forms of grass discharge allows you flexibility when it comes to how you mow your yard. This model has a 21″ cutting width and weighs in at 74.1 pounds, which surprisingly makes it very easy to push and maneuverable around borders and other objects.
With the included batteries, the Greenworks Pro 60V 25-inch self-propelled lawn mower easily handles up to a 1/2-acre on a regular basis—possibly more. The Greenworks 25-inch lawn mower sucks grass up pretty well with its default blades. We checked the bag and it collected a lot more material than we find with many competing brands. We saw even more grass hit the bag when using their high lift blades. If you like to bag your grass, you’ll love this mower. Examining the evenness of cut, we found the Greenworks 60V 25-inch lawnmower to leave a very even path with few irregularities.
Except there’s no fuel or fumes or maintenance or practically anything else to worry about. It’s a new world regarding yard work and I’m all in. Sign up for Lab Report to get the latest reviews and top product advice delivered right to your inbox.
In this mode you’ll have to physically pull the mower out of the charging station and push it back in to restart everything. In the past, that wouldn’t have been the case if you were thinking about buying a cordless mower. You can adjust the deck height using the single lever located at the right rear wheel. Even though this mower has a steel deck, two blades, and two batteries, that single lever moved everything smoothly and easily. Kudos to Greenworks Pro for an excellent design here.
