I have the previous 21 inch version. Had it for 2 years so far and its been fantastic. This new version is even better. This is hands down the best mower for most people that need a push/self propelled mower. Can't beat GreenWorks for bang for your buck!

I have this new Greenworks mower, have mowed with it twice now, and I am very impressed with the cut quality of the mower. To get the best cut quality I can, I run it with the Turbo on the whole time. Cut quality is as good as the dual blade Honda gas mower I was using for the past 10 years. The maneuverability of this mower is WAY better than my old Honda, due to less weight, and larger back wheels. Dare I say mowing with this thing was almost fun! Sure makes the twice a week maintenance mows a breeze. I'm going to try the next mow without the Turbo feature on, to see if there is a difference in cut quality. Will report back.

Thanks for the feedback! I let mine go all week and I ended up cutting 2.5 inches off today and I still love it. The lift was definitely not as much without turbo mode and left a few isolated blades but in the thicker patches I used turbo and it really lifted well for not having high lift blades. What I was most impressed with is the absolutely lack of clippings anywhere. I'd have had to do a double cut on my old mower if I was mulching and not at all the case with this one. It truly is a pleasure to mow with. I made one modification I would recommend. On the front wheels the bar rattles around a bit so I used a torx bit screw driver to take off the metal brackets and pulled the bar out and wrapped it with some electrical tape. Much smoother and more solid now.

Hello all... so I did another maintenance mow today, taking off about an inch, and I did not use the Turbo feature. The cut quality was still outstanding, pretty much indistinguishable from the mow I did before using the Turbo feature. Now, for the odd outcome: using the 8AH battery as I had before, I still had 2 bars out of 4 left. I again used the self-propelled feature about 75% of the time. I'm old and a gimp lol, so I had the Drive Speed set to the slowest setting each time. So maybe that setting has more of an impact to battery life than using the Turbo feature; not sure. I can say I'm still very satisfied with this mower, and it's definitely making my job much easier while maintaining the level of cut quality I want to have. Cheers!

I have the Husqvarna Le - 322r and I think this compares in quality of cut. Two great mowers

The stacked, offset blades are said to improve mulching by 30 percent. I guess that means "mulches into segments that are 30 percent finer, helping the clippings decompose faster." But maybe it means "leaves behind 30 percent less clumping." I have the Gen. 2 60V 21-inch. I mulch in Turbo mode, using the heavier, high-lift blade. The 22 doesn't offer a high-lift blade because it doesn't need one. But it still benefits from Turbo mode. Please report back to us after you've torture-tested your 22 on high grass in Turbo mode.

Turbo mode definitely gets more lift on the blades. I used it sparingly on my cut today and, just doing my own yard, I ended with two bars of battery still. I'll try the next cut with turbo on the whole time to see the difference both in quality and its impact to battery. It is absolutely a mulching monster though. No clipping clumps anywhere even cutting 2.5" off today.

My front yard is about 3000 sq. ft., and using Turbo on the whole time, and using the self-propelled option around 75% of the time, using the 8AH battery that came with it, I had 2 out of 4 bars left on the battery. This was a maintenance mow, so taking off about an inch or so.

You mentioned that there is no problem backing up. I have last years model, you have to push forward a little to unlock the wheels before pulling backwards. To me, that’s an annoyance.
@greganson3627Ай бұрын
Yes, if the new model had that issue still, I wouldn't have considered it and would have gone with an ego instead. Thankfully not the case with this one.

Thanks for the informative review Greg! I'm thinking this might be the one that gets me to make the move to battery powered. Resolving the wheel lock up issue is huge for me. Just wondering, do the wheels have much traction? They almost look shiny like they might be slick. I have a yard that slopes from the sidewalk to the street at a pretty fair angle and is a bit rough. My 90lb gas mower will slide down and almost off the curb making it a chore to control. I am hoping this one would be easier on me. Just getting older and I've had surgery on both shoulders in the past.

It's my pleasure Bill! The wheels do have good traction, they are a firm but grippy rubber. Soft enough you can dig your nail into it with enough force. I have an incline on my front yard that wasn't included in the video but it grips well.

@@greganson3627 that sounds good! Just looked online at TSC and there's only 3 on the shelves in a 60 mile radius @ $500. Need to make room in my garage so I think my old Lawnboy would have to go. Some folks complain about the upkeep on old gas mowers, but I actually enjoy tinkering with them. My Lawnboy was a curb find freebie that didn't run. A new carb, traction cable, basic maintenance along with a deep cleaning and it runs and looks pretty darn respectable for being at least 20 years old. Oh, but it is 90lbs and so loud even with my hearing aids muted... lol

Grass not tall to test the torque
@greganson3627Ай бұрын
It wasnt but I also don't review these things for views so I won't let my grass go more than a week without a mow. Ive mowed taller since this video but the mower was never forced to struggle. My only feedback with taller grass is that the dual blade has very little lift so it will miss some blades. The 80v from Costco has a high lift blade with the dual blade system so greenworks has one, they just don't have inventory. I'm looking forward to trying the higher lift blade option when that time comes. If anyone has the Costco 80v dual blade mower and got the high lift and wants to send it to me to review that id be happy to do that video with longer grass and then send the blade back.

There is literally no grass. What are you cutting? Are you being sent units to promote on KZfaq? 😂 There is a 25 inch electric mower that I was interested in the past. The blades are side by side so you are really leaving a thing strip in the middle that is uncut. It was one of the complaints aside from being underpowered for the job. High lift blades cause battery drainage issues This is my problem with electric mowers. It is the need to preserve power unlike gas which run at full throttle and smaller blades by inch or more compared to deck that causes corners next to road if the road is below your yard to be left uncut. You have to invest in a string trimmer to clean up and those can get very top heavy. The EGO unit comes with 5 and 7.5 amp hour batteries at least which are pretty heavy to lug around the yard.

I mowed from 5" to 3.5". It may not come off on video well because I am mowing twice a week right now. I posted these videos because it's a new model and no one else has posted anything yet. I would have found it valuable thus here we are. I have posted 4 videos in 10 years. No one is sending me anything to do a paid review.

it would really be baffling if they designed a dual blade mower that really left a gap in the center. something doesn’t sound right.
