One drawback we discovered is the redundant power button. The Pro 80V is already equipped with a thumb safety, a chain brake, and a throttle, so another button to push before the saw is operable can become annoying as it detracts from productivity. Capable of housing 2 batteries that when one drains it automatically switches over and engages the second battery increasing runtime and saves the hassle of stopping and switching.
All other programming and settings are handled via the Greenworks Tools mobile app for Android and iOS.

The EGO 56V 21-in self-propelled mower is their best selling mower on Lowes website. The EGO 56V 21-in mower has about 7.5 Ah of power in its battery, just slightly below the Greenworks mower.

With the Greeworks Optimow 50H Robotic Lawn Mower, you can have a perfectly groomed lawn without breaking a sweat. It takes some effort to install the perimeter wire, but once everything is set up you can sit back and let the mower take over.

That said, you’ll have to eventually pay for a cellular plan to continue using the app because the mower doesn’t offer Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity.
