And that’s something we all do from time to time when mowing our lawn. When doing this, the rubber “matt” has a tendency to fold back and go under the mower, and it obviously doesn’t fare well when going head to head with those blade. So you might have to pay close attention when going backwards, or you could just remove it if it bugs you, like some people have done. The Greenworks Pro 60V is a durable, extremely powerful cordless mower, and the closest we’ve seen to a true cordless mower that professionals can depend on for regular services and heavy use.
Changing Cutting Height is a Snap – The Greenworks GLM boasts a one lever system that allows you to move the cut height up and down real easy. While this isn’t something groundbreaking or even unique to this mower, it’s a handy feature nevertheless. Ultimately, it’s a side effect of trying to equip a heavy electric mower with this automated feature – the battery just isn’t up to the task, and its juice is better spent elsewhere. Don’t count on the propelled lever to take much weight off your hands.
Here’s what we consider to be the bottom line when it comes to deciding if this mower is for you.

Expect runtime to drop accordingly if you have to use this mode for any length of time.

And it stores vertically, taking up less space in your garage or shed for added convenience. The seven-position, single-lever height adjustment allows you to adjust the blade height for a variety of mowing situations. With mine set to next to lowest position, the mower never choked out on even tall, thick grass — something that frequently occurs with my gas-powered mower. With a powerful machine like a self-propelled lawnmower, safety is a key concern for many shoppers. Keep in mind that many mowers come with a built-in safety feature where the mower only starts and runs if the operator squeezes a bar on the handle. This way, if you slip and fall on the ground, you won’t be near spinning blades.
This is a useful feature for those who enjoy manicuring their lawns. Another feature that I found to be beneficial were the headlights – that’d really come in handy during late fall afternoon mows when the sun starts to set early. I also thought the leaf pickup function via the turbo button would be really handy, basically a vacuum for your yard. From what I can gather it turns the blade off and just sucks up the leaves.
