Greenworks expands its battery-powered lineup with the 60V 25-inch self-propelled mower—a residential version of its commercial-grade model. Featuring dual blades, auto-switching batteries, and Turbo mode, it delivers commercial-level cutting power with up to 1+ hour runtime. Ideal for lawns over 1/4 acre, this $749 model combines wide 23.75″ cutting, vertical storage, and LED lights in a homeowner-friendly package.
Updated Residential Model Boasts Wider Deck, Dual Batteries, and Turbo Power
Greenworks has expanded its battery-powered outdoor power equipment lineup with a consumer-friendly 60V version of its commercial-grade 25-inch lawn mower. The new Greenworks Pro 60V self-propelled model brings several upgrades this season while maintaining the robust performance that made its predecessor stand out.
Performance and Cutting Power
The mower’s standout feature is its 23.75-inch cutting width—unmatched among current battery-powered residential models. Powered by a brushless motor, it handled both maximum (4-inch) and minimum (1 3/8-inch) cutting heights with ease during testing, requiring no deck adjustments between extreme settings.
When encountering dense grass or weeds, the mower automatically increases blade RPMs for added power. Users can also manually engage Turbo mode for challenging patches, though this reduces battery runtime. Twin blades rotating in opposite directions provide superior mulching, while optional high-lift blades enhance bagging efficiency.
Battery Life and Handling
Equipped with dual active battery ports (two 4Ah batteries included), the mower delivered an impressive 1 hour and 9 minutes of continuous runtime during testing—enough to maintain up to half an acre of grass. The system automatically switches between batteries and includes an LED charge indicator.
One operational quirk requires users to nudge the mower forward before reversing direction, which can be cumbersome when navigating tight spaces. The speed dial offers adjustable self-propelled operation, though testers noted a desire for slower speeds when cutting thick grass.
Design and Storage Features
The steel-deck mower shares design elements with Greenworks’ commercial models, including:
- Vertical storage capability via foldable handles
- LED headlights for low-light mowing
- Single-lever height adjustment (seven positions)
- Intuitive control layout with Turbo button
Notable omissions include no side or rear discharge option—a surprising exclusion given the mower’s commercial inspiration.
Pricing and Value
Priced at $749.99 (including batteries and charger) with a 4-year warranty, the Greenworks Pro 60V positions itself as a premium residential option. For homeowners with lawns exceeding 1/4 acre, its wide cutting path and dual-battery system offer significant time savings over standard 21-inch models.
Conclusion
While the 21-inch model suffices for smaller yards, the 25-inch Greenworks Pro 60V excels for larger properties, delivering commercial-level performance with residential convenience. Its combination of cutting width, battery life, and mulching capability makes it a standout in the battery-powered mower market.
