I was skeptical that this would cut through the sudden 8 inch growth of wet grass that had recently popped up, but I had had enough of trying to start and and maneuver my tank of a gas mower that I've had for over a decade. So, I decided on this very reasonably priced and apparently very light mower. AND IT WORKED! It cut through my lawn just as well as my old mower did, it got into tight spaces, I could easily pick it up, and the charge lasted through both my back and front yard (and there was a lot of grass!) It does feel like a toy, so I'm not sure how long it will last (but that's not horrible, considering the price), and the grass catcher is small so you have to empty it more frequently. It was easy to put together and charge the battery- which is included and can also be used to charge things like phones for some reason. I'm glad I bought it, it's perfect for my small yards (maybe each are about 50' x 60' in size.) I'm so happy about it that I had to leave a review! If it breaks, I'll add an update!

I ordered this mower Monday morning and with Prime, 1 day shipping was just $3.99. Mower arrived Tuesday Morning and I just finished mowing with it for the first time. What a difference! I've used gas mowers all my life and was recently very impressed with an electric line trimmer from B&D (GrassHog), so I thought I'd give this electric mower a shot. First of all, the noise. While this mower is far from silent, it is significantly quieter than gas alternatives, even the small 4 hp model this is replacing. Next, starting this mower is the easiest thing in the world. No filling with gas, no priming, no pulling repeatedly on a long cord. Just hold the button, and squeeze the bail. Thats it. The electric mower spins up and purrs like a kitten in seconds. The next thing you'll notice is the smell. There is none. With gas mowers you smell gasoline, oil and exhaust. But with the Greenworks mower, all you smell is fresh cut grass. Before, I would be light headed and dizzy from the fumes by the time I was done with the yard, but not with an electric mower. I bagged the cut grass today, so I can't yet speak about the mulching or side discharge, but the bagging worked really nicely. I feel like this mower outperformed gas powered baggers I've used in the past. Seems like it sucks the grass up like a vacuum. Very impressed. Had to empty the bag fairly often, but the grass and leaves inside are great for composting or using as mulch in beds. Ok. The real difference you'll experience mowing with this electric mower and your old gas mower is the cord. While the cord holder on the cross bar does help significantly, I did find myself tripping and tangled over the cord once or twice. You really do have to plan how you mow a little more than with a gas or battery powered model. However, once I got the hang of it, it really was no problem. It helps to divide your yard into smaller sections in your head, and mow one section at a time. Also, start near your outlet, and work away from it, so you never mow over your cord. I used a 100 ft cord and could reach all sections of my 1/4 acre yard. As for performance, this thing is great. Grass was cut very cleanly and consistent. Mower only became bogged down when the bag was full. After I was finished mowing, I did flip the mower over and clean a very small amount of wet grass that had stuck to the underside of the mower in a few places. Probably wouldn't be an issue in the summer with hotter weather and dryer grass, but today it was. Overall, I'm overwhelmingly pleased with this purchase. Amazon is great! Greenworks mower is great. If you're considering buying this, and have a reasonably sized yard, buy it. You won't be disappointed. One final thought, the battery operated model would be fun to try, but I've read too many poor reviews of the batteries themselves.

The mower works super well. Mulches leaves and sticks too. But the battery on this thing sucks. Can barely last even 30 minutes on a full charge, and then it takes 6+ hours to charge fully. If you have even a small front and back yard, get a spare battery.

One of these days, perhaps someone will make a good, fully-functional lawn mower that does not require setting fire to small amounts of dinosaur remains over and over, very quickly, and only *rarely* suffering major injuries when a few too many dinosaur remains burn a touch too quickly in a space that's just a shade too small. However, that glorious day when dinosaurs no longer help crop our lawns to length remains far in the future, I suspect--and I question whether GreenWorks will be around to join in the celebrations. In fairness, the mower is not completely lacking in merit. For instance, it is a very lovely shade of green. The monotone dark grey offsets the green very nicely, and the overall effect is that of a small race car. Well, a race car with a gigantic handle. And I suppose the wheels and the bag would look very out of place on a-- All right, it may not have much in common with a race car. However, for all its green-and-greyness, there is a darker side to the GreenWorks 25112 13-amp mower. For instance, it is insanely underpowered. I'm not sure just how much torque 13 amps normally gets you, but the torque the 25112 develops is perhaps best measured in the number of voles you could tip over with it. Put in those terms, I would say the 25112 measures approximately oh-point-four-three voles. (If the voles resisted, the number would be much lower. For the purposes of this metaphor, assume that the voles are heavily drugged.) If you've read this far out of amusement or perhaps boredom, you probably find yourself asking "The voles are all well and good, but how much actual /grass/ can it cut, and how fast can it cut it?" Fair enough. Given a slovenly-enough walking pace, the 25112 can cut approximately no grass at all per second unless you're quite patient indeed. Once maneuvered onto a patch of un-mowed grass of a height ranging from four inches to as little as un-sprouted grass seed, this Greenworks product requires approximately five to ten seconds to reduce blade speed from... well, whatever its maximum rotational speed is... to almost failing to turn at all. Given another ten seconds or so, the flywheel--given the mower's impressive weight, I assume it contains a flywheel--will finish dragging the blade along via sheer momentum for a few full turns, severing just enough grass to allow the blade to begin to build speed again. As the blade begins to pick up speed, it will helpfully fling largely intact grass out the side of the mower, where it will block sunlight, kill the surviving grass--no more mowing!--and eventually turn into thatch requiring specialized tools or sheer bloody-mindedness and hysterical strength to remove from the lawn. The default configuration should be enough for most folks, but If you feel that the mower is not generating enough sunlight-blocking, turf-choking pre-thatch for you, you can remove a couple of plugs to take it out of "mulching mode". Now, I think we all agree that frequently it's the small details that really make the difference, and this mower is no exception. For instance, most potential buyers are unlikely to think too much about the cleverly-designed cord retention clip that helps keep the mandatory extension cord (some assembly required, batteries not included) from being yanked out of the mower every time the cord catches on some darn thing. This is a tiny thing that doesn't deserve any real consideration, you may feel. You would be right, and clearly GreenWorks agree with you; no thought at all was given to the retention clip or the notion that it should be designed to retain a quite heavy and thick cord indeed. I have my doubts, but it's frequently claimed that 100ft extension cords for devices needing 13 amps really are best rated for a minimum of 13 amps--perhaps as much as 15 amps, to be certain! It's a sad truth that one is not allowed to claim that an extension cord is rated to convey 13 (or, again, 15) amps without using enormous masses of heavy, joy-killing copper--quite a lot of PVC, too, and perhaps even other completely unnecessary materials. I, for one, refuse to believe that so much copper (also PVC!) is really necessary simply to carry a little harmless electricity and perhaps prevent it from coming into contact with the grass, the body of the mower, your body, etc. You know who doesn't get invited to parties? Underwriters Laboratories, that's who. Fortunately for us, GreenWorks is a "fun company", and they have anticipated your desire for a cord retention clip designed for those of us who eschew clunky, unnecessary copper wiring in favor of second-hand, aluminum-substitute speaker wire; coat hangers twisted together; or even Laffy Taffy. Unfortunately, it's Underwriters Laboratories that lawmakers and rulemakers are inclined to kowtow to, and if you're caught using Laffy Taffy to power your GreenWorks mower (pineapple works best, I find), you may be required to use a real extension cord, Should that happen, you will be happy to know that I performed extensive research before purchasing my GreenWorks 25112, as well as acceptance testing, and I can confirm that it's compatible with virtually every major brand of cable tie and twist-tie on the market today. Before wrapping up my review, I'd like to assure potential purchasers of this product that, if they--like I--opted for an electric rather than dinosaur-fueled mower only because they felt that they could no longer deal with the fumes and nausea of the more common models, the GreenWorks mower delivers virtually every other feature you're accustomed to--and then some. Not only is the manual replete with must-have advice, such as not mowing the extension cord; but the wheels are suspiciously flimsy and are frozen completely perpendicular to the axle, by longstanding tradition. When you're making the big jump to electric, let's face it: the last thing you need is a mower that's confusingly maneuverable. Finally, if you were worried that an electric mower might produce too little noise, failing to irritate neighbors should you choose to mow bizarrely early in the morning, GreenWorks has you covered. Every aspect of the motor and drive system have been carefully designed and tuned by their engineers to make very nearly as much noise as non-electric motors of the same or sometimes even larger sizes! You won't miss a thing!

Al día de hoy no he probado mi equipo porque no incluye baterías ni cargador y no los he podido conseguir Deberían especificar en la publicacion que no se incluyen y deberían dar la opción de sumarlo a la lista de compra como paquete

Tengo un patio de 600 m2 y la bateria dura justo para eso, tienes que ser rapido, pero aun asi es una muy buena podadora, otra cosa que me gusto es que muele demasiado bien el pasto, tanto que de los 600 m2 apenas y saco una bolsita de todo el pasto que recolecto, la podadora esta hecha de plastico muy delgado pero resistente, y en general funciona bien si solo se usa ocasionalmente, lo bueno es que si mantienes tu cesped a raya con la bateria sera suficiente, si no recomiendo comprar otra para tener mas duracion

J’adore c’est sure que je peux pas faire tout mon gazon la même journée car j’ai 29000 pied de terrain mais avec les 2 batterie je fait 1:00

Picked this up after my old Black & Decker mower died. First impressions were excellent, it's easy to assemble, and pushes well. The switch to activate is easy to use (unlike my old mower) and I like the 21" size, I feel like I have to make fewer trips back and forth over the lawn to cover the same area. Mulching works great. The handle flips up easy for easy storage, which I also love (my old mower I had to detach the handle and because it was attached to the mower by cord was hard to re-assemble later). Really pleased with this mower, much better than any other mower I've owned, no complaints whatsoever about it

A la fecha he podado dos veces y me parece un muy buen equipo, lo recomiendo
