r/Greenworks

I don't see a lot of info on this mower, so I thought I'd start a thread for people to post info about it - reviews, suggestions, hacks, etc. I recently picked one up from Walmart on sale for $398, including a fast charger and 8Ah.

Although I have a Ryobi blower and trimmer, I like a few things about this model over Ryobi's 21-in offerings: steel deck, compact dimensions, high user ratings. GW tech support told me it has a 1500W motor. Most of the higher end 21-inch models from Ryobi and EGO have 1000W motors. Every bit of extra power is precious with these e-mowers.

I've used Honda gas mowers for years, with great performance and reliability. I still have a 6-year old model that I will continue to use to cut most of my yard. I needed a more quiet mower to cut a 3000 sq-ft area where some wildlife resides.

I cannot believe the performance I just got out of this 60v push mower with the 8ah battery. Purchased yesterday on a whim after getting fed up with my gas mower.

I have a hilly/rough 1/2 acre back yard that was pretty overgrown and wet as well. I started with my expectations pretty low, and was prepared to stop half way through and have to charge the battery. Not ONLY did this thing completely finish my back yard, i was also able to get my front and side yard done as well. Zero issues. No stops or bogging down.

I am in shock. I already had a second battery in my cart to purchase assuming this wouldn’t get the job done. Proved me dead wrong.

If you’re on this sub looking for an excuse to buy one of these bad boys- use this as your sign. Looks like they’re running a pretty good sale most places. Go get one.

I have a Greenworks 60 Volt Chainsaw 15 inch (model CS60L00) that doesn't start. No clicks, nothing. I have three batteries fully charged (pressing the charge indicator lights up, four bars). The chamber for lube is full. The chain moves freely on the bar.

I really like this chainsaw and just looking for tips on what else I can try to get it working.

TIA

I purchased the 3000 psi brushless greenworks unit, it arrived yesterday. Didn't look refurbished, the box was in good condition and all of the packaging seemed original. I assembled it and hooked it up to the hose, was very careful to purge air from the garden hose itself, and then the machine after the pressure hose and wand were connected. I also made sure that all connections were tight. When I started the machine, it seemed to start normally and the motor seemed to be running well, and then the problems started. When I used the various angle tips the pressure just seemed.. underwhelming. I could comfortably put my hand into the stream less than ten inches from the nozzle tip. I tried letting it run and spray for awhile to see if it maybe needed to break in slightly in order to make the correct pressure. It really struggled to remove surface grime from my siding. After a few minutes, the motor seemed to start bogging down, almost like a poorly idling gas engine. It then stopped running altogether without switching the power off. I got it going again after unplugging it from the wall outlet and into another one (not sure if that made any difference, but I recently purchased my house and I know all of my outlets to be in good condition). I then attempted to wash my car with the turbo tip, which was unable to even remove dead insects from my bumper. My hose bibs have those weird aerator things on them, but when my garden hose is running it delivers water consistently and without air pockets or anything, I even checked to see how firm the garden hose was while the machine was drawing water from it and it didn't collapse or anything all that seemed normal. When I watch reviews for other similar washers, they don't seem to be making noticeably more pressure or anything, but they clearly do a much better job. Is this just a mediocre product, and are my expectations too high? Or is mine just defective? I've already started the return process with Amazon since either way I have no use for this machine but don't want to continue to waste my money and be disappointed by similar products. I hope mine is just a dud.. I really don't want a gas powered one.

Brand new 40v 21" mower. I assembled several weeks ago. Battery on 4; blades at highest setting (grass was tall). It wouldn't start. I check for mistakes and everything seems correct but no start. I give up . Try again the next day: nope. Same three days later. Then another two days later (hadn't touched a thing) and it starts right up and I get short grass-yay! Today it is two weeks later. Battery on 3. Won't start. I pull out and put back in both the battery and safety. Nothing. I clean around the blades, try again - nothing. l give up. I try again in an hour. Nothing. Try again in an hour (having done nothing new) and it starts right up. Midway through mowing, I stop to move some rocks. And now it won't start again. Whaaaaaat is going on?
