... and great/ honest reviews. Keep up the good work
Jim thanks so much
Great review. Lots of deets. The comparison should be interesting. I will be looking out for it.
Thank you
Although I'm heavily invested with the EGO brand, I couldn't but notice that you may have left the mulch plug in with the bagger on (based on your demo I didn't see you remove it), thus the heavy clumping. If that is true then I'm very impressed on the Greenworks performance. With that said Greenworks has the same 60v but 25" mower as well. I'm hoping for EGO to match very soon as there is a lot of great competition (Toro, Ryobi, Greenworks, EGO).
Great video and you made me laugh. I am old and have a local guy cut my crazy lawn with a riding mower. In April I just reseeded my entire back yard. No riding mower on that for a while, so I bought the 60v 22 in self propelled. Getting tomorrow. Thanks to your detailed instructions I am ready to go. Happy mowing.
Thank you
Love the happy kids in the pool.
Next time try the side discharge, in that way it may not load up the cuttings in the front,Just a guess? Thanks for your very detailed review by far one of the very best I have watched...
Ray thank you, appreciate the feedback
Can't wait for the greenworks pro vs ego as I'm now in the market for one of these!
👍🏼
Either one is great. I ended up buying the greenworks. I got a string trimmer, blower charger and 5.0 ah battery and charger for $189.99 then bought the hedge clippers and mower a couple weeks later. Been using it all season. And I have Bermuda. Love it and won’t be going back to gas ever.
Drakilicious thanks for sharing, best of luck with the new machine by the way check out the Greenworks inverter see the link below

You’ve got a beautiful yard!
Thanks Zachery, definitely a full time job A lot of hard work
Great lawn!
A lot of work thanks Cameron 😊
I just ordered one of these last night with (2) 4AH batteries plus fast charger. NOW I'm watching review videos. Kind of bass-ackwards! Thanks for this comprehensive review!!
Thanks and good luck, I hope you enjoy the machine. Stay in touch if you can.
@Tech Made Easy it's replacing the only mower I have ever purchased, a 31 year old Lawnboy M Series mower that has been an amazing workhorse. I purchased it new. Motor still runs stronger than anything I've seen. But the rest of it is falling apart, with parts no longer available. Plus, I'm tired of smelling like gasoline and 2 stroke oil when I'm finished mowing!. Having retired, and being cheap, I really debated making another big investment in lawn equipment. But then I realized junk, no name gas mowers are nearly $300 now. So I'm okay with this purchase as it includes two batteries and 2 blades (one standard, one high lift.) My neighbor has a 40v Ryobi that I can't even hear when I'm indoors. That convinced me to go battery instead of gasoline.
Good luck, you'll be fine. No gas, oil, engine issues and better for the environment
I wish you would have tried bagging the tall grass to see how well it did. I really enjoy your videos! Thanks
Thanks Lindsay I will note this and try and work it into videos in the future. Thanks again
Yes would like to see the bagging run to , thanks!
I really wanted to see you bag the clippings.
Tractor Supply has the 60v model on sale for $399 from $599 Picking one up today.
Good deal
Very, very similar to my Kobalt 80V Max. Mine is about 3 years old now so this has more features but batteries look the same, underside and blade look exactly the same. And my Kobalt ramps up the motor automatically like that when it needs it. I have always said I wished it had a "boost" button so I could ramp up the motor when I needed it. It looks like the "turbo" button does exactly that. Great job with the information and the video! Good stuff! Pet Brooklyn for us. 👍😊
Thanks Michael look out for the ego vs Greenworks pro very interesting video still working on it, Brooklyn is doing great thanks for the wishes 👍🏼
This is true, they sense a heavy load and adjust but the operator can see a heavy patch of grass and could ramp up the speed before getting to it, resulting in less stalling or bogging down
SCraig 2018 I think the turbo speed is the same speed as the auto adjustment speed bc the turbo button doesn’t work when the speed is automatically adjusted
I agree from what I've seen
@@jroark101 yes, basically the mower has 2 speeds, high and low, the turbo button puts it in high. So the button will not function when the mower is already in high speed mode. My Kobalt 80V Max doesn't have a speed selector like a turbo button but it has a sensor and when under heavy load it puts the mower in high speed mode. I hate having to stop and wait in tall grass, even for a split second for it to sense that and ramp up. The turbo button,(motor speed selector) should allow the user to not hesitate when entering tall grass. Basically I have 4 batteries and I would run my mower in high speed all the time if I could. I am not concerned with running out and having to wait for a charge. When I had a gas mower it was always full throttle for the most grass cutting power.
Great in depth review. So you think this would be a good option for commercial everyday use mowing multiple lawns a day?
That I couldn’t say, I don’t do commercial myself. Great for a home owner for sure.
Great review! Is it easy to push with out the self propelled? or do you half to use it. I have a gas lawn mower with self propel, but dont use it alot unless im in a tight corner. thanks!
Hi Joshua, it's not bad and the thing to note is battery mowers are lighter than gas moters in most cases, the Greenworks Pro 60v with the steel deck is still lighter as well
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks for the reply!
My pleasure let me know what you end up doing and have a great day
Awesome review!! Thanks. Now I really want to purchase (but the girl screaming 24:05 😂)
Also anyone else wants to know what is the covered area with the stones 🤔 🙋🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Thank you, yeah this is a real life review , no big production crew, just me. What stones were you referring to? What’s the time stamp ?
With the thick grass and your engine revving up that's like having a turbo button on. The turbo buttons just a button that keeps turbo on. But when your engine is revving up like that that's like turbo. So even with turbo on your motor will stall. It'll stall just like it did there
I have this mower, trouble I have with it is., you cannot mow your grass using height 1 or 2 because the mower base and rear cross bar drag on the grass causing resistance. I have Sir Walter grass. Most demo's I have watched, they all seem to cut on height 4.
I just bought the 60 volt pro with the duel counter rotating blades 25inch deck. Cuts as good as my old Toro personal pace. Only used it one time so far, but so much easier to maneuver around the yard and pull it backwards. Ran it for 35 min not so heavy grass and had half a charge. I really wanted the Ego, but the greenworks was a 150.00 cheaper, time will tell if I made the right decision.
Hi Chuck that’s a good saving! Stay in touch and thanks for the comment. I’m working on the ego vs Greenworks video now.
I bought the same one last week for 500 at Lowes. My first electric mower and it's performed really well so far. Only cut once on the middle setting and I have St. Augustine. My wife would have no trouble with using this. Since I already had the blower and trimmer, it made sense to get the lawn mower and the extra battery to stick with the same platform. I think the dual blades are typically found in the commercial line so it should be great for home use.
thanks for sharing Thuan, welcome to the channel
Use the extra money for another battery?
Good idea
Saw it on sale at Lowes online. Went there and it was full price so I said forget it and came back home. Look again and a store 30 minutes away in PA had it FIFTY PERCENT OFF so I ordered it online. Hoping this is easier for my wife to use than our Honda.
Wow nice deal, hi Dalesworld welcome to the channel , let me know how it goes.
@@TechMadeEzy My wife said it's hers after trying it out. Mission accomplished if I can get help mowing! Light, maneuverable, cuts well....a second battery is gonna be on the short list though.
That’s awesome, happy wife, happy life 😎
@@TechMadeEzy Cuts great. light, maneuverable. Wife approves.
Awesome 😎 enjoy and stay tuned and welcome to the Tech Made Easy family
I like the mower,but where did you get that measuring tape?
Thank you ua-cam.com/video/yT5-bFRc_NM/v-deo.html
Link should be in the description
I like my ego however I wish it could cut under 1 inch. I just started mowing low and love the look. I have the single blade model and dont believe there is a way to drop the height to 1 inch. Kinda wish there was a blade attachment to lower it a bit more or get smaller wheels.
Hi Super welcome to the channel, The green works pro goes down to 1.38, i’m sure there’s something out there that cut shorter.
You know it’s actually unhealthy for the grasss to be cut that short right?
@@jroark101 The bluegrass cultivar I use is perfectly fine at 1/2 inch. Mowing frequency and watering is very important. Requires alot of effort but the look is very rewarding. You can check out a couple of my videos or check out Ryan Knorr or Connar ward. as long as you cut grass using the 1/3rd rule and water up to 1 1/2" per week it works. Check out superseed store if you want premium grass seed to handle a low cut. I used bewitched KBG kastbyear and this years reno I'm using Bluebank KBG. Check it out and see what you think.
I find the same with mine. All demo's they cut on height 4.
Can you tell us if the batteries on the Greenwork still performing good a year on would be helpful
Hi Atif, my cousin uses the greenworks and loves it. Let me reach out and check with him and see.
Whenever your mower speeds up automatically even if you hit turbo it doesn’t change the speed more than that. At least mike doesn’t. Hope it’s not defective. Maybe you can let us know?
I agree, when it does then turbo doesn't do anything, I tried it again tonight to see
why are you mulching with the bag on?
I have a question for you? Do you think the turbo button is even necessary since the mower automatically goes into turbo once you hit higher grass. I notice when my mower auto adjusts if I hit turbo...it does nothing and then if I hit it again I can force the mower to slow back down (almost like turning off the auto adjusting motor speed).
I agree, it's not needed. It automatically revs up when it needs to.
Turbo allows you to ramp up the power before htting thick/tall spots, whereas the tool can only know to do it AFTER it has hit that spot.
The lack of it is a complaint amongst some power users that want the most out of these machines.
Currently on clearance at Lowe's in Northern California for $272.00
Wow that’s a great deal
Tech Made Easy Yep. A buddy of mine bought one too. Hard to pass up.
Nice 👍🏼
I've seen a lot of videos with that mower, it stalls a lot. I would pay extra $ and get the 25 inch greenworks commerical.
I wasn’t aware, never used it myself. The good news is you do have a return policy, buy it and if it fails after you push it then return it I say.
I just ordered the 21" self propelled that comes with 2 each 5 amp batteries and charger from Home Pot for $399 @ # 2531702, didn't get it yet. Can you run the self propelled without running the blade? Hold the start button down and move the drive lever and it should drive w/o the blade? That's important to me cause where I store my mower in my garage is a steep hill climb to my lawn.
At first I didn’t think so but I believe you can. I’d have to test it
I have to correct that, my new one comes with 2 each 4 amp batteries for $399 (not 5 amp) and I just ordered it and have it coming for $399 and now the price increased to $499, I got it as a bargain!
I thought you would like to know one of the other reasons I bought one is because I love to drive my neighbor nuts. Every Time I buy something, he instantly goes out and buys the same thing but always a different make then he brags to me the different one he bought is better than mine. I buy a new F-150 the next day he buys a new Ram 1500 truck, I buy a Toro snow blower, the very next day he buys an Ariens, I buy a Yamaha ATV he buys a Honda and so on and on,, I can't wait to show him my new Greenworks 60v mower and find out what different brand he buys cause you and I know not many out there are better than Greenworks, maybe the Eco? I will let you know what he gets.
Bought mine today from Lowe’s I for $299 have only one battery
Congrats, mine only came with 1 battery also but it will hold up to 2 of them, stay in touch let me know how it goes Jacinto
I bought one a self propelled 60 V model a few days ago only to find out that the 54V 5.0 battery battery that only lasted for 32 to 36 minuets cutting about 4-5" high grass (#5 wheel height) and using self propelled 90% of the time about 50% speed for about a total of two hours the grass was not real thick. It took 8 hours to recharge the batteries 4 times; I cut a little over 15,000 Sq feet. The battery might last one hour run time if you just ran it without cutting anything but air?
Not many people have $200.00 to buy a second 5.0 Amp battery. The specs book lists a charge time of 2 hours and the recharge was within a few minuets +/- of the stated charge time, I did not see any of this information printed on the outside of the box.
Thanks for sharing Ray, if you are unhappy see that the return Policy is and I’m pretty sure you should be able to return it. I mostly use my ego select cut and that 7.5ah battery lasts me, I have about 5000 square feet of grass so it isn’t much. Let me know what you do and sorry for your experience.
You see the new snow blower review?
I have the same mower, and I couldnt get it to ramp up rpm automatically. Was my grass just not as thick as yours?
Possibly that could be why , thanks for watching 👍🏼
My battery goes to red when I put it on charger .. havnt even had this mower a year...
Battery had a 3yr warranty, if call EGO they can determine the issue, they handle calls 7 days a week I was suprised
(855) 346-5656
Why did the mower leave all that grass? He has the bag attached so there should not have been any clumps of grass. This tells me that there isn't enough vacuum for the grass to get sucked up into the bag.
It works a bit different than gas engines, yes you can go through thick grass but it will bog down and you need to allow it to clear the grass or it will stall. In this case it looked like the grass was dry but very long and dense. It’s able to cut due to the fast blade speed but it doesn’t have the same power as an engine, it’s the battery that controls it
ha ha ha...it doesn't matter you attach a grass bag if you use mulch mode because the mulching plug blocks.
I got 8 of them the other day for 430$ for all 8
Hi Anthony 8 of what?
Yikes... mulching leaves way more clumps of clippings than I would have expected.
Yeah, but mulching is not recommend for that tall grass. You should be mulching grass to cut just smaller pieces, 1-2 cm's. Than you can be sure, it will cut into smaller pieces and throw into the ground.
Says something "...okay..."
Don’t do it. I just bought this model from Lowe’s and turned right around and took it back. If you’re serious about your yard, this isn’t it.
why? I bought exactly the same model, and had a no issues... happy to use.
I still have it, it's not bad but doesn't really compare to the ego select Cut after having both for a while. Especially battery life
Jordan Jennette at least give reasons why you didn’t like it? idk what you’re talking about, but I absolutely love mine. Been kicking my yard’s ass for over a year so far
Why? Performance? Battery life? When advising for or against purchasing a product, it’s a good thing to give the reasons . I had a 40 v 16 inch plastic deck . And I recently purchased a 60v with a metal deck. The 16” worked well . The 21” works even better. My only complaint with both is battery life. If I get an additional battery, that will solve that problem. But both have plenty of power . I often let my grass grow too tall. But the 60v never falters. Again, why did you criticize the one you bought?
I returned mine as well. It just didn’t cut well. I needed to mow my front yard several times to get most of the grass, and that is only taking about 3/4” off. Otherwise I liked it but found the rear drive didn’t disconnect as fast as it should.
You never bothered using TURBO the smart torque sensor may automatically covert to TURBO, sorry you null and voided the video.
Thanks for your comment Ray
It’s a 16mph increase, for a maintenance cut, 172mph, heavy load or Turbo mode should push it to 188
i just bought one , charged both batteries, same exact one …. took it back after ONE use. it didn’t have enough juice to do my yard . my yard is small. front yard 20x25 , back 20x15 , side yard 5 feet wide … mower is junk … had the 60v self propelled. DONT BUY . took it right back and wallmart gave me cash back
Walmart is usually good about that, Maybe you had a bad unit? I've tested this a few times and it's one of Greenworks Best Mowers. Maybe try a Milwaukee, EGO?
Good video..but you talk to much
Save your money, the battery life is trash!
I hear you Anthony, the motor works way too hard from the tests I did and I believe that’s what’s killing the battery
Make sure u buy the right battery. The 2.5 Ah won’t last long. I have three 60v 4.0 Ah that works like a charm. My entire yard with 2 batteries or less with blower n trimmer (little less than acre)
Have you tried other brands? how did the batteries go on that? ta
Trash. One battery will only last 30 minutes at most w/bag
Hi Derrick it depends on what battery you have in the Greenworks pro, the 5ah 60v gets me about 60mins.
@@TechMadeEzy Maybe on your flat perfect yard. Add some crab grass, some hill, and use of self-propelled and my kid got 20 minutes off of the 5AH battery. I think I'm taking it all back to Lowe's. These aren't ready for prime time. Back to gas we go.
I would give the LM2135Sp a shot by ego then, it's their latest,, I've used it and my yard isn't flat in more than a few areas. If not I understand, we all have different needs. Gas definitely has better suction and run time but the LM2135Sp lasts me on my 5000 SF lawn areas. Best of luck, let me know how you do 👍🏻
Have you tried any other battery mowers? and how did they go? Just asking for insight.
this is so painfully slow. half hour gibberish with 3 minutes worth of info.
