This efficient little Greenworks 25302 20-inch 40v utilizes a 40 volt ion battery system that is compatible with other Greenworks tools so that if you have multiple Greenworks products you will have plenty of batteries charged and available to you at all times.
The clever and innovative Smart Cut ™ technology gives you the most efficient mowing experience, deciding on its own between emphasizing power or run time depending on the length and thickness of your lawn.
Automatic battery switchover will pull power from the second battery as soon as the first is depleted, so that you don’t have to manually switch batteries as often. 10 in rear wheels paired with 7 in front wheels give you the best stability and maneuverability.

Features & Performance
The 40 volt power of this mower makes it best for midsize lawns and standard lawn care. Because it is a Electric push mower, you will need to provide the power to push it through your lawn, and 40 volts is not enough power to get through the thickest weeds.

Full Review
The Greenworks 20-inch 40v Mower utilizes a 40 volt ion battery system that will power over 25 other tools by Greenworks. This versatility means that you can always have a charged battery on hand for your multiple Greenworks tools. This mower comes with a 4AH battery and a 2AH battery as well as a charger.
The 20 inch cutting deck gives a great balance between cutting capacity and maneuverability so you will get your lawn mowed quickly but also be able to easily move around flower beds and other landscaping. This is a perfect lawn mower for a midsize lawn of up to about half an acre.
The Smart Cut ™ technology of this mower is innovative so that it will adjust for power or run time depending on how thick and difficult to cut your grass is. This means you won’t be struggling through the thickest grass or wasting power on the thinnest grass.
Because your mower’s run time will be determined by the condition of the grass, you may find that when you mow regularly you can mow the entire lawn on one charge, but when you miss a week or when the grass grows faster in rainy weather, you may not be able to mow the entire yard.
This can be frustrating if you are not prepared, so judge the size of your yard and make a realistic mowing schedule and be sure to have multiple batteries charged and available if necessary.
For better cut quality, this mower utilizes dual blades that mulch efficiently for compact bagging. 10 inch rear wheels and 7 inch front wheels give you great maneuverability throughout the terrain of your yard, even over small hills.
An automatic battery switchover will begin drawing power from the second battery automatically when the first battery is running low so that you won’t have to worry as much about downtime or manually switching batteries. This mower operates best when the mulching feature and bag is used as it does not have a good distribution system for cut grass clippings.
This mower offers good power through its entire runtime, so you don’t have the irritating experience of having your mower run low on power near the end of the job. While this mower is not self propelled, it is light enough that it is easy to power across most yards. The push button start makes this mower easy to start as well as operate.
