Greenworks 48V Self Propelled Cordless Lawnmower (46cm, Green/Black/Grey)

How long do the batteries last and how quickly do they charge?

Each 4Ah battery provides 30-40 minutes of runtime depending on grass conditions and self-propel usage. Both batteries charge simultaneously in the dual-slot charger, taking 2-3 hours from empty to full. The charger features cooling fans to prevent overheating and automatically stops when batteries reach full capacity. Battery indicators show remaining charge levels during operation.

What size lawn can this mower handle on a single charge?

The manufacturer states up to 480m² coverage, but real-world performance varies significantly. On short, dry grass using minimal self-propel, expect around 200m² per charge. Long or wet grass with frequent self-propel use reduces this to 80-100m². For larger properties, consider purchasing additional batteries to avoid interruptions during cutting sessions.

How heavy is the mower and is it difficult to manoeuvre?

The mower weighs 27.5kg including batteries, making it substantial but manageable. The self-propelled system eliminates pushing effort on flat ground and slopes. When self-propel is disengaged, the weight requires moderate effort to push. The 25cm rear wheels and balanced design help with manoeuvrability around obstacles and tight spaces.

Can I use these batteries with other Greenworks tools?

Yes, both 24V batteries are compatible with the entire Greenworks 24V tool range including hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws and garden tools. This cross-compatibility reduces costs and storage requirements if you own multiple Greenworks tools. The batteries feature the same connection system across all 24V products in their range.

What's the difference between the three cutting modes?

Mulching mode chops clippings into small pieces that decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the lawn. Side discharge ejects clippings to the right, ideal for long grass or when the collection bag is full. Collection mode captures clippings in the 55-litre rear bag for disposal or composting. You can switch between modes without tools by adjusting the discharge chute and mulch plug.

How do I start the mower and engage self-propel?

Insert both charged batteries and press the start button. Pull the outer blade engagement lever towards the handle whilst holding the start button - this activates the cutting blade. To engage self-propel, push the inner drive lever towards the handle whilst maintaining blade engagement. Release either lever to stop the respective function immediately.

What maintenance does this mower require?

The brushless motor requires no maintenance. Clean the underside after each use to remove grass buildup. Check and tighten bolts periodically. Keep the air intake clear of debris. Sharpen or replace the blade annually depending on usage. Store batteries indoors during winter and charge them every 3 months to maintain capacity. The steel deck may need touch-up paint if scratched.

How does the warranty work and what does it cover?

Greenworks provides a 3-year warranty on the mower and 2-year warranty on batteries from purchase date. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use. It excludes wear items like blades, damage from misuse and normal battery capacity reduction over time.
