Green Machine’s 62V cordless mowers strike a balance between affordability and performance, offering brushless motor power, a 22-inch steel deck, and versatile cutting options. While the self-propelled model needs refinement in its drive system, both push and self-propelled versions deliver strong runtime and cutting efficiency—making them a compelling choice for homeowners seeking battery-powered convenience without premium pricing.
Design and Features Balance Innovation With Room for Improvement
Green Machine’s new 62V lawn mower lineup has emerged as a compelling option at The Home Depot, occupying a strategic position between homeowner-grade and professional equipment. Our hands-on evaluation of both the self-propelled and push models reveals a capable battery-powered system with notable strengths and some areas for refinement.
Self-Propelled System Shows Promise With Operational Quirks
The premium self-propelled model utilizes a rear-wheel-drive system controlled by a front-handle dial, though notably lacks a separate drive engagement bar. This design choice creates challenges when maneuvering—users must either fully disengage the drive or contend with wheel resistance during turns.
An “SP” transport button allows blade-free movement, while a single-point deck adjustment lever offers six cutting heights between 1¼” and 3¾”. Both models feature vertical storage capability, achieved by folding handles forward after loosening height-adjustment knobs.
Intelligent Indicators and User-Focused Features
Four LED indicators behind the battery housing display
- Low battery
- System error
- High temperature
- Power status
Additional highlights include
- Push-button start

Performance Testing Reveals Robust Cutting Power
Both mowers employ a brushless 62V motor driving a 22-inch blade—exceeding most battery-powered competitors. In rigorous testing through challenging St. Augustine and Bahia grass, the units maintained consistent speed and cutting performance.
Runtime estimates suggest
- 45 minutes per 4.0Ah battery
- 90 minutes with dual batteries (covering approximately ½ acre)
- Reduced duration in dense or overgrown conditions
The system offers multiple discharge options
- Mulching capability
- Bagging attachment
- Side discharge (particularly effective for overgrowth)
Pricing and Warranty Structure
Available exclusively through The Home Depot
- Self-propelled model: $449 (includes two batteries and charger)
- Push model: $329 (includes one battery and charger)
Both units carry
- 5-year mower warranty
- 3-year battery coverage
Conclusion
Green Machine’s 62V lineup presents exceptional value in the push mower category, though the self-propelled model’s drive system warrants consideration. With anticipated refinements to the propulsion controls, the brand could dominate the mid-tier battery mower market.
