However, the battery-operated device comes with a four-year limited warranty and two-year battery warranty, which is a good deal. I’ll also recuperate the difference in cost over that period by not having to buy gas. The Greenworks Pro moves 500 cubic feet of air per minute which makes it one of the most powerful electric leaf blowers on the market. We found it was able to easily move small sticks, pine cones, and even wet piles of leaves.
For the record, battery life with the 60V 5.0 Ah for me was exactly 36 minutes on a full charge. That’s with a normal cut using self-propelled for the entire mowing. This makes the mower good for smaller to medium-sized lawns.
A fully depleted battery needs about 30 minutes to full recharge. The first thing to consider when looking for a self-propelled lawnmower is what kind of yard you have. The size and shape of your yard, as well as the kind of grass you have and the amount of slope on your lawn will affect what kind of lawn mower you need. For example, if you have a flat lawn, then you may want to consider a front-wheel drive lawn mower, instead of a rear-wheel drive lawn mower which is better for sloped yards.

Off the clock, his faith and love for his family are his top priorities, and you’ll typically find him in the kitchen, on his bike (he’s an Ironman), or taking folks out for a day of fishing on Tampa Bay. It has a flip-top cap that’s easy to grip with your finger and thumb even when you’re wearing gloves. The translucent window to view your oil level is a little tough to see through. It’s okay in bright sunshine, just not in the shade.
HOWEVER, if I had to buy an electric mower this is one that I would seriously consider.Compared to other electric mowers like the Sun Joe, Ryobi, or the Dewalt, this one has a tad more experience. When it comes to outdoor power equipment, Greenworks Pro puts the emphasis on power. We understand that Homeowners and Prosumers take on jobs of all sizes and need pro-grade products with long-lasting performance.

It all adds up to give you the line of outdoor power equipment you deserve.
The tension on the bar seems to hold longer and because the design team chose captured nuts, there’s no risk of dropping or losing them. However, you do need to make sure your scrench is with you at all times since there’s no onboard storage for it. Besides, it feels good to be able to do a little something to help Mother Earth. And the convenience of starting the mower by simply pushing a button is a time and headache-saving convenience that’s, well, priceless. Yep, I spent about $600 for the Greenworks Pro 21 and an extra battery, when I could have bought a new gas-powered model for half that.

I’m sure the industry is heading toward battery operated tools for the future. While mowing, I noticed a bothersome trait while using self-propelled.
