What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for Greenworks 80V 22-Inch Self-Propelled

Best Praise
+3 pts
ā€œI have the Greenworks 80v line including the mower and no experience with Ego, so Iā€™m probably biased but I love the Greenworks mower. The only issue I have is that sometimes mulching leaves is not as strong because the lift is not strong, but that seems to be a universal issue with battery mowers in general. I had 1 out of the 7 batteries go bad after 3 years of use in mower and snow blower/leaf blower. Greenworks had me do some basic troubleshooting and 10 minutes later they shipped a new battery to me, arrived 2 days later which was awesome.ā€
