This is a useful feature for those who enjoy manicuring their lawns. Another feature that I found to be beneficial were the headlights – that’d really come in handy during late fall afternoon mows when the sun starts to set early. I also thought the leaf pickup function via the turbo button would be really handy, basically a vacuum for your yard. From what I can gather it turns the blade off and just sucks up the leaves.
The tools also have less vibration, allowing customers to use their outdoor power equipment for longer. Additionally, battery-powered equipment does not need to be winterized. A single nut holds each of the 23.75-inch cutting blades in place underneath the steel deck. Like the commercial version, the Greenworks Pro 60V 25-inch self-propelled lawn mower overlaps the blades to cover a full 23.75” cutting width. Each blade is smaller and weighs far less than any single blade sported by a standard 21-inch mower. That seems to give this mower an advantage in power though it must drive both blades at once.
If you need a number to go with, Greenworks says you can get 150 cuts in 4×4 with one 4.0Ah battery. What’s more, the Pro 21 features a Turbo Mode, as well. When it came to run time, though, we did run into a few issues. When we operated this leaf blower on its highest setting, it lasted precisely 13 minutes.
If you’re moving a sizeable amount of wet leaves, this just isn’t enough time to get the job done. If you’re looking for ways to lessen the burden of yard work, a leaf blower like the Greenworks Pro 80V can be a great tool to have at your disposal. Rather than raking and sweeping, using a power tool can shorten your working hours so you can spend more time enjoying your yard. Whether that means throwing a memorable party or taking it easy with a relaxing afternoon at home, well that’s entirely up to you. We put the Greenworks Pro 80V leaf blower to work in our own yard.

The one thing that bugs me about battery-powered tools, is that there are no generic one-design-fits-all batteries. Each company has its own proprietary battery designs, so once you buy that first tool, you are locked into that brand if you wish to swap batteries. If you decide to mulch, there’s a safety plug that goes where the bag catches grass at the rear of the deck. Bagging requires that this plug be removed and the bag be inserted under a large lift-up door—much like every other mower available today. Designed for lawns of up to half an acre, the Optimow 50H measures 12.2 by 20.0 by 25.0 inches , weighs 26.4 pounds, and has an IPX5 water-resistance rating that means you can wash it off with a hose.
The Security LED flashes yellow when a PIN code is required, and the Error LED flashes red when the mower has been stopped due to an error such as a break in the wire or when the mower has been lifted. All other programming and settings are handled via the Greenworks Tools mobile app for Android and iOS. Since 2002, Greenworks has been the leader in battery-powered outdoor equipment and offers the most comprehensive collection of battery-powered tools for homeowners and landscaping professionals alike. Greenworks broad line of rugged, powerful tools deliver best-in-class power, performance, and runtime without the noise, hassle, or harmful emissions.
However, at $5,199.99 it’s easily the most expensive model we’ve tested. 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. I got a greenworks pro 60 volt, 16 inch battery powered chainsaw.
