This video should be an ad for the company. Because of your video I will buy an 80v greenworks 21” Thank you very much. To cut the grass you have it, for me is a miracle.

I have the 60v 25” Greenworks. Partly due to your own video review. Luckily I don’t have to deal with anything close to what you are on your Hillside yard. I love it. Great for my half acre yard. Always plenty of battery life even when I run Turbo mode the entire time. Happy I got it

I just bought the dual 80V Green Works mower. Its definitely doesn't stop at anything.

you should get the 25" 80v mower and see how it is vs the 60v !

Omg comparison was exactly what i needed in deciding which to purchase, thanks so much!!

Have you tried the 80V 25" Greenworks machine? That would be interesting to see on that super tall section.

Great comparison! The lack of side discharge is a deal breaker for me. My favorite way to mow thick Bermuda. While I own the 60v Toro mower, I opted for the 80v Greenworks pro leaf blower. Just could not pass up the deal I got at Costco. It is a beast and very impressed with the quality and performance so far but the real test will come this fall!

My 60v single blade works just fine and has the side discharge as well

Hey I don’t know why GreenWorks isn’t never listening to reviews like yours or others. The height should be able to go higher , side chutes are very popular because it helps with discharging taller grass so machine doesn’t big down to a halt. They should take these into serious consideration when upgrading new models. Excellent video

@@TurfMechanic Thanks for the update!

Greetings, I bought the GW 80v from Costco. I just really wasn’t pleased with the assisted push mechanism. I also was getting intermittent shutdowns. Grass wasn’t thick. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll just wait longer for tech to progress and use my old Honda for now.

On Turbo, the 21-inch Greenworks 80V and 60V 2nd-gen mowers run at a constant no-load speed of 3200 rpm vs. as-needed 2800 rpm. The motor that turns their blade has a max output of 1500 watts. The 80V and 60V 25-inch models = 1100 watts. In Spring 2022, Greenworks Commercial introduced an 82V 25-incher with a more powerful motor. I would guess that its motor is one-third more powerful (about 1470 watts) because their new 82V 21-incher is one-third more powerful (2,000 watts).

Yeah, we've made several videos on our disappointing experience with the Greenworks 82v 25" "Commercial" version, which I've heard is even worse than the 60v. Definitely a useless mower when the grass gets thick. We regret buying our units as well. Thanks for the video.

I got the 60v 25” 2 yrs ago and I bought a 80v lowes version which seems to be a rebranded blue colored greenworks mower; I love em both

Most of the time the higher voltage mower is more powerful especially when the 80 volt is 21 inches and the 60 volt is 25 inches. Thley even advertise the 80 volt is there most powerful.

Have you noticed any difference when mulching your regular lawn between them? I have a 21" 60v greenworks and kinda regret not getting either the 25" or an 80v one.

@Brian. What do you think of the current Pro 80v mowers? They are dual battery and have a turbo mode? I'm curious what the RPM is in regular vs turbo mode(on the new Pro 80v model). Also, how good the bagging and mulching would be in the turbo mode?

the green works is something i been wanting. but i don't know if it will handle my saint Augustine if i ever decide not to mow 2 times a week 😱after watching this sir you changed my mind on it.

I got the 25” 60v in Florida I have saint aug it’s fine I love it but if you let the grass grow real long it will bog down a bit; with two batteries I can do my lil quarter acre no problem

Are you going to evaluate the rechargeable battery powered dethatchers/scarifiers? I have read about Greenworks and SunJoe and one of them discounted is because a stronger powered one is coming out which is why I was suspicious. I'm interested in knowing how these power through thatch, that is, are they easy to push?

I saw they may be releasing a 82v 30" on the commercial line fall. Really hope its better than the 60v

The tip speed and more mass of the 80v mower explains the better cut. I would like to see how they both doo with the side discarge and rear discharge on the two blade mower.

I notice that most of the videos the grass is always sparce, dried, open patch type of grass. Need to show after cutting on a nice green grass.

Any plans on trying the 80v 25 inch mower from Greenworks.

I always used a field brush mower like DR on my aunt's 2 acres. Her Timemaster I used for a nice finish.

drive wheels are using up valuable voltage output as well.

Which battery were you using in each? I think the 80V battery comes in 2,4 and 5 Amp Hour batteries, right?

Is there an aftermarket blade you recommend for the greenworks 80 volt? I love my greenworks 80 volt mower the raw power is awesome, but I don't care for the blade. Aftermarket blades that work for it are hard to come by

I had the Toro Timemaster and it too had the dual blades that rotated counter to each other and it was just too efficient to mulch for grass that was wet or slightly overgrown. If you cut your grass every 4 days when it was dry, this type of mower probably would give you the best cut.

Does the 25" Mower has two or one electric motor? If it has only one motor for the two blades that could explain why is bogging down. The electric motor is not strong enough for moving the two blades in that jungle.

Curious how the 80V Greenworks compares to compares to the Milwaukee e-mower for high grass.

On the 80v, what if you used the side port instead of the bag but without the mulch cap on so the grass goes out the side hole instead?

Good point about the faster blade tip speed on the 21" vs the25". That alone is worthy of some serious thought. But I guess I'm not sure why you'd expect a 60V machine trying to mow a wider path to do better than an 80V mowing a narrower path in this brute force test? Assuming the cut quality is the same (and maybe it isn't), isn't the main selling point of the 25" the wider path rather than raw power?

They do have a 82 volt commercial 25" and they are coming out with a 30" inch in spring of this next year. I think 82 also greenworks

Really a great informative video, Thanks. How would the Pro 60 fair out cutting a normal lawn not what you demonstrated here. I have a small piece of property (under 1/4 acre) sloped on one side and I am looking to buy a battery mower. Another thing on my mind is whether or not I really need a self propelled. I have a 21" Honda gas self propelled I am currently using and it is more of a pain here than on my previous home with larger flat property to mow. If this piece of property was flat it would be a no brainer, non self propelled. I'm not a kid and don't want to bust my butt mowing!

@TurfMechanic

It does pretty good if you cut regularly, small blades don't leave circles in the lawn but mulching leaves clipping strips so it looks better when you bag. The selfpropelled is worth it if you've got a slope. I'm young and strong but I always use self propelled on my hill, not always on my flat lawn though.

the 80v speed was maybe a little fast, but i like my 80. I've been looking at the 25, and decided not to get it. I've read too many stories about bad or no service. The service part of the deal is nothing to overlook. These mowers are enticing, but i'm forcing myself to stay local. I checked with a few shops about repair around here, and they quickly said "no".

is that the 80 volt dual battery model that what i use with 2 5 amp batterys and i can mow 2 acres thats without using turbo and ive never stalled i truly believe its the best mower out there and 2 5amp batteries only take one hour to charge 2.the one con is the battery is 300 dollars if mine goes bad ill will probably just refurbish it for like 100 bucks

Does the 80v fit in the 60v slot?

Would the 60v 21 inch model be better due to less clogging? Less material been cut??

@TurfMechanic

2 жыл бұрын

I'd have to try it to be sure but my guess is it would clog less because it's probably a better shaped deck and the blade itself is wider meaning the tip of the blade is most likely traveling faster even though the rpm is likely lower...also you are right, the deck is covering less material at once too so it's probably going to clog less. Until GW sends me one for free though I'll just have to speculate because I told my wife I wouldn't buy a new mower again until black friday this year! :D

It looks like the overall volume of space under the dual blade setup is less than the single blade design. maybe it's getting clogged up with grass clippings faster as a result?

Yes it absolutely would be...except the 25" mower doesn't offer side discharge as an option so when things get over grown you have to choose between bagging and mulching. Ordinarily id bag overgrown grass that can be discharged but for this experiment I decided to mulch with both mowers to easily show how quickly they bogged down and stalled side by side.

I decided to get the 80v Kobalt mower, it's very similar to this because Kobalt's larger power tools ( 40v+) are made by Greenworks So far so good only stalled once when I was trying to do so was looking at the 40v as I already have some tools in that line but decided to go for the more power, eventually planning on getting the chainsaw and maybe snowblower as well

@TurfMechanic

I've never tried the Kobalt mowers but I've heard similar things from others about them being similar to the GW mowers. If you do have the 80V greenworks I'm quite happy with my 80v Greenworks snowblower, the wider intake chute version though at 22". It does well for average snow depths but if you do get regular snow at 10" or more I'd probably look to the two-stage blowers which I think GW doesn't make (yet).

Taking into account the overlap for the 25 inch mower but not for the 21 inch mower and then calling it only a 20% difference is extremely biased.

@TurfMechanic

2 жыл бұрын

I didn't think I needed to go into the math. 60v machine has a 24" cut path minus overlap of 2" your stripes are 22" wide. 80v machine is 19 7/8" wide cut path, subtract 2" overlap and your stripes are 17 7/8" wide. The difference is 4 1/8" extra width from the 60v unit. 4.125 divided by 17.875 is 23.1 meaning you cover 23.1% more ground with the 60v unit which is more than the 18% I guessed at in the video on the fly. When I use the 60v mower though I have to cut much slower and clear more clogs so it never actually speeds up the session. That's just been my experience. My bias is based on using both mowers and forming experience based opinion, im fine with that. Thanks for bringing this up, others probably wondered the same thing. 👊

Mowing large thick grass with weeds and what not. It's a no brainer why the two mowers struggled. Cause you tried to 'Mulch' with them. Plus using a Highlift blade on the twin 12.5 aka 25inch 60volt version. Mulching is more for already well groomed grass that you're just gonna take a inch or two off so it can slice the trimming even finer. But a THICK system is gonna clump all that grass into the mower's cage area that it's gonna struggle to spin the blades with so much stuff inside itself. You never never mulch with thicker grass. Period. Bag or maybe Side-discharge. If you side discharge run the land over twice to get a finer cut for the mulch that gets thrown out. That way you can cut it even finer. But it's always bagging when you're getting thicker and taller stuff. Mulching is never a option for super thick and tall grass. Even gas mowers will struggle with this setup. That's why you see lots of lawns be mowed with BAGS on these cases. Plus the Highlift blade is ment for throwing the grass into the bag or out the side discharge better because it sweeps the grass around. It's not ment for mulching. Not to mention the 25inch 60volt is 2-3x MORE powerful then the 21inch 80volt. The motors are better and spin faster. But the blades are only 12.5inch on both sides so the cage of the mower under is smaller but wider to take a wider zone. But the cage are only 12.5inch each. the 21inch has a larger zone of cage and size deck. That's the only reason why it made it farther is because it had more room to pile the grass up compared to the two 12.5inch cages under the deck that couldn't take much of the grass mulch as the 21inch could since the cage was larger underneath. But neither machine should've been ran in mulch modes. Bag or maybe possibly side-discharge. Or both Side-discharge and bagging. The 60volt and 80volt both have dual batteries. But the 60volt Can handle 2 8ah cells. While the 80volt can only handle a max of 5ah dual cells. So you're getting only 400watts of each 80volt cell. Vs 480watts. That's a extra 120watts for the 60volt to last longer in runtime then the 80volt. Just because it's 80volts doesn't mean it's 'MORE POWERFUL!' then the 60volt. That's misjudging in power performance. Even 18volts can slap a 40-56-60-80-120volt system. The biggest reason why some companies go with a HIGHER VOLTAGE. Isn't because it can give more power. No no no no. It's because a Higher voltage can supply similar power with less current flow draw. So it can take less draw power from the batteries to supply the similar power a lower voltage system has. This puts less strain on the batteries. But some companies can handle the higher power draw on a lower voltage battery system by managing the power flow. So even a 18volt can have a pretty powerful system in compared to a higher voltage. It'll just make the lower voltage battery draw lot more power from the battery system that'd heat the pack up more then a higher voltage battery pack would. It's why some companies don't go the insane 56-60-80-100-120volts when they can manage a pretty powerful system just on a 40 or 18/24volt system that even beats a higher voltage system.
