If you’re already a Greenworks household, you’ll be happy to know that this tool is compatible with the rest of their line of yard tools, though. Be sure to consider whether the lawnmower has swivel wheels. This is especially important if you have curved flower beds or gardens within your lawn, or if your lawn is an irregular shape. Turning self-propelled lawn mowers can be difficult, which is why having swivel wheels is an important feature.
It was also much quieter than other models we’ve used. The key with cordless chainsaws is letting the saw do the work and not trying to push them too hard. This saw cuts really nice as long as you let the weight of the tool do the work vs pushing down hard. Many cordless saws in this class rely upon a folding plastic adjustment knob to set proper chain tension. This is fairly gimmicky and does not inspire a ton of confidence. Greenworks chose to use a traditional side-mounted chain tension adjuster on the 60V PRO saw.

We’re not surprised by it and it’s no worse than we’re used to. If you only use your saw occasionally, you may want to empty the reservoir between jobs to keep it from leaking. The felt vibration is very low in Greenworks 60V PRO and results in less user fatigue. The quickness to full chain speed will surprise you if you are unfamiliar with cordless saws. The inertia activated chain brake itself is an outstanding safety feature. The brake system is ergonomic and contours around the hand while cutting, but does not interfere.
The innovative 3-In-1 design allows you to mulch, rear-bag or side-discharge grass clippings. It uses a rotating disc with three pivoting blades to cut grass, and has an 8.7-inch cutting width and an adjustable cutting height of 2.4 to 4.0 inches. You get two years of free cellular service with the 50H, but once the free plan expires you’ll have to shell out $29.99 for a two-year plan in order to connect to the app. A panel on the top of the mower contains a cutting height dial, start and stop levers, and four status LEDs, but that’s all you get in the way of onboard controls. The Operating LED glows solid green when the mower is in operating mode , and is dark when the mower is stopped, if the safety key has been removed, or if the mower is waiting for a PIN number entry. The Connectivity LED flashes blue when the mower is trying to connect to the internet, glows solid blue when it’s connected, and is dark when the mower is powered down.
Look for a mower that has a wash-out port on the deck. This way, you can just hook up your garden hose to the mower and rinse out all of the grass clippings from the blades. Self-propelled lawn mowers that are front-wheel drive provide more dexterity when it comes to turning and maneuvering. This kind of mower is perfect for those who have flat lawns.
