Dom: I wanna show you somethingā¦
Brian: WOW!
Dom: Me and my dad built her, 40 Volts of electric muscle*, itās a beast.* You know what she mowed in Palmdale?
Brian: No what did she mow?
Dom: 9 sec. flat
Brian: God
Dom: My dad was cutting the grass with so much torque the chassis twisted coming off the sidewalk. He barely kept her on the lawn.
Brian: So whatās youāre best cut?
Dom: Nah Iāve never ran her
Brian: Why not?
Dom: Scares the clippings out of meā¦
Anyone able to comment and compare this āGreenworks Elite 40V 21ā Brushless Self-Propelled Mower" to the āRYOBI 40V 20ā Brushless Self-Propelled" ?
That would be very helpful if we could get a comparison!
Nice!
This listing says one 6AH 40 volt battery included. Greenworks website lists no such battery. 5AH availability. Please respond
Noticed this is Greenworks āEliteā, a new release, not the MO40L02 G-Max version. Does anyone know if the battery/charger is interchangeable? I have other Greenworks 40V products, and would really love to know the answer. Couldnāt find much via Google. Thanks in advance.
I own a Greenworks chainsaw and weed wacker. These tools are for extremely light duty only - light duty being a very small lawn or one in which you stay on top of at least once a week, the latter probably more importantly as well as keeping the blade ultra sharp. Look at their feature video - that grass isnāt very tall. Thereās a reason for that.
The usability of battery powered outdoor tools vary from tool to tool depending on what you need from it. I love my weed wacker since I only use it for trimming grass around my fence line that isnāt very thick and it saves me from mixing 2-cycle fuel and startup difficulty, but I regret the electric chainsaw. My saw can cut smaller tree limbs for quite a while, but if Iām trying to cut through a thick tree trunks, Iāll maybe get one or two very slow cuts and then my battery is empty.
Thereās a reason why this mower holds a spare battery in the main compartment - itās probably not an optional purchase for an average size lawn. Iād probably recommend against the self-propelled model for the same reason: youāre wasting valuable juice that youāre going to need for mowing on propelling something that isnāt too heavy to push.
I suppose if I expected to use the weed wacker to clear a field of tall grass, Iād be just as disappointed as I am in the mower. Gas weed wackers are all 2-cycle engines however, so itās an extra nuisance and expense to mix fuel and oil to run it.
Also, ethanol blended gasoline wreaks havoc on small engines carburetors. Make sure you run your equipment dry of fuel at the end of each season and ideally, find a gas station that sells ethanol-free gasoline. Itās more expensive, but itās totally worth it for any kind of seasonal outdoor equipment. My gas lawnmower is 4 years old and starts on 2-3 pulls after sitting all winter.
I have one of these. Maybe not this exact model, but the previous model which looks nearly identical.
All I can say is: I wish it was better. A single battery lasts about 25 minutes. And the lowest setting for the lawnmower is not very low at all.
