However, the battery-operated device comes with a four-year limited warranty and two-year battery warranty, which is a good deal. I’ll also recuperate the difference in cost over that period by not having to buy gas. The Greenworks Pro moves 500 cubic feet of air per minute which makes it one of the most powerful electric leaf blowers on the market. We found it was able to easily move small sticks, pine cones, and even wet piles of leaves.
With an extra battery on hand, you can now rip through grass in the neighborhood without the hassle of gas. The 2AH battery charges within 30 minutes so you can get back to work and finish that job. Walk-behind push-mowers are powered by your strength, where you move them by pushing them over the grass you want you cut.
The tension on the bar seems to hold longer and because the design team chose captured nuts, there’s no risk of dropping or losing them. However, you do need to make sure your scrench is with you at all times since there’s no onboard storage for it. Besides, it feels good to be able to do a little something to help Mother Earth. And the convenience of starting the mower by simply pushing a button is a time and headache-saving convenience that’s, well, priceless. Yep, I spent about $600 for the Greenworks Pro 21 and an extra battery, when I could have bought a new gas-powered model for half that.

Off the clock, his faith and love for his family are his top priorities, and you’ll typically find him in the kitchen, on his bike (he’s an Ironman), or taking folks out for a day of fishing on Tampa Bay. It has a flip-top cap that’s easy to grip with your finger and thumb even when you’re wearing gloves. The translucent window to view your oil level is a little tough to see through. It’s okay in bright sunshine, just not in the shade.
Never operate the mower with damaged safety devices. Remove the battery pack from the mower before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliances. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the mower accidentally. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the battery pack, picking up or carrying the mower. Carrying the mower with your finger on the switch or energizing the mower that has the switch on invites accidents. The cutting blade must be approximately parallel to the ground.
By tugging on the rope, you pull a cord, which then turns over the engine to start the self-propelled lawnmower. For some people, having to pull the rope with a recoil-start mower can be difficult. These are simple to start up with a key or a push button.
Due to its larger rear wheels, easy start and quiet motor, the Greenworks Pro 60V Cordless 21″ Self-Propelled Brushless Lawn Mower is a joy to use, despite a couple of quirks mentioned earlier. I expect the steel deck to hold up under punishing use for years. Now I just have to purchase an extra battery to handle my large backyard. The handle houses a “Turbo-Mode” button, self-propelled drive-speed lever, and a battery life indicator so you’ll always know how much battery life is left. If you’re using two batteries, the mower will completely deplete one and then automatically switch to the other rather than use both simultaneously.
