There are some trade-offs to consider compared to other options, but our overall impression of the Greenworks Pro 60V CrossoverZ Zero-Turn Lawn Mower is that it’s a success. Greenworks has been in the battery-powered zero-turn space for years, starting with commercial-grade models. That experience trickles down to the development of the homeowner-focused 42-inch model. If you like the performance, but would rather have the 16-inch bar and chain, that model runs $229.99 bare or $299.99 with a 2.5Ah battery and charger.
Plastic seems to tire out if left out in the sun too long. I’d like something a little sturdier looking than this. The Greenworks Pro 40V 21” Brushless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower was one of the first major players in the electric mower space when they launched their first mower in 2016.

We may get paid by brands or deals, including promoted items. Man, I am invested in the 80V line but this makes me want to get some tools in the 60V line that I do not have. The batteries alone are worth more than what most of these sets are selling for. Thanks to community member Cobalt_Blue_FF for finding this deal.Note, pickup availability will vary by location.

Only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use this machine. My Greenworks 60v handles my yard much better than my previous EGO 56v mower, mainly because the EGO mower didn’t have side discharge and plugged up at the drop of a hat. The grass is discharged or bagged much better with the Greenworks. Once you begin investing in battery-powered tools, you begin to accumulate batteries which can greatly extend the use time of any tool.
This results in more power when and where it’s needed. When you don’t, the mower operate at more conservative numbers—saving runtime. And, if you want to manually ramp up your power, just hit the Turbo button anytime. The Greenworks Pro has a 60-volt brushless motor with push-button start provides more power, torque and longer life without the hassle of gas. A brushless lawn mower is one where the motor can automatically adjust to the power needs of the job.
I’ve been working with computers for ages, starting with a multi-year stint in purchasing for a major IBM reseller in New York City before eventually landing at PCMag . I spent more than 14 years on staff, most recently as the director of operations for PC Labs, before hitting the freelance circuit as a contributing editor.

On the other hand, if you have a sloped lawn, then a rear-wheel drive lawn mower is a better choice. The ease of use with the controls of the saw was a pleasant surprise. There is no additional on/off switch or mode selector. Simply insert a battery, pull the chain brake towards the rear of the saw, press the safety catch lever, then pull the trigger and start cutting. It is a very intuitive process and reminds me of using a traditional gas powered saw. This mower also offers the user the ability to control how fast the self-propelled function works.
