Feels like a great price and reviews wise it seems you can knock off a few acres with ease

8 year warranty on the batteries is a plus.

And they do stand behind their battery warranty. Just had them replace a battery that died. Hassle free process. No cost on my end at all.

This price makes it a no brainer vs the other Greenworks riding mower @ Costco for $4,700. Now, whether $5k for a riding mower makes sense -- that's another question. These battery operated mowers seem to be 2x the cost of an equivalent gas mower, but I just don't want to deal with the constant engine maintenance of a gas riding mower.

Right now I mow an acre of grass with a walk behind 30" gas mower (Toro Timemaster). I lie to my family that I love the me time of trudging behind that walk behind mower in 90 degree heat for 2.5 hours (~3.5 hours including trimming). This would probably cut me down to 2 hours total (including trimming and using the walk behind for areas this thing can't go - i.e. between some trees and down an drain ditch)? This would also make it fun. 1.5 hours saved a week to spend time with my kids PLUS the time spent mowing being more enjoyable will probably win.

I also look at it compared to hiring someone. I've gotten quotes in the past for weekly service at ~$150/week and I'm guessing those have gone up over the past 4 years since I last asked. Over the course of 30 weeks in my mowing season, this would ~pay for itself.

I'll tell myself I need until 3/27 (when the offer expires) to decide. But inevitably I will talk myself into it as I always do.

Thanks OP.


BTW - question - anyone know how hard it is to clean the deck after a mow? I have to keep the deck of my Timemaster clean or it doesn't work that well.

Damn, five grand and we can't get any pics or even a cut-and-paste description? What sad times are these at SD.

I am going to wait until the end of the sale also to mull this over.

You mow an acre of land with a walk behind mower, are you insane? LOL
I have about 0.7 acres and I have a riding mower and that's still annoying to me and say it takes me about an hour to mow with that. What these companies charge for smaller lots is a ripoff and depends on the company. My lot is much bigger than my neighbor's and I have had quotes for about $45 a cut but she pays about $90 a cut. My friend's former house had 16 acres of land and he paid $300 a cut. The $300 a cut and $45 a cut for mine are from the same guy too so I would be paying $64 an acre but my friend about $19 an acre.

Greenworks site has the same version of this in 60V for $4,000.

Mostly offset by the CB you can get when buying from them.
$4060 vs $5000 is hardly worth whining over, here

$200 CB with Costco / Citibank card

So 4300 vs 4800

Costco is rated at (80v) version 3.3 acres vs (60v) version 2.5 acres Plus Costco is easy to return if needed.

I get it. But your "easy returns" cost you an extra $1000 in this case.

The biggest question is "is $1000 worth 6 extra batteries and an extra 3 years of warranty on them" and, if you've only got an acre or two, that isn't a big selling point.

There are no actual performance differences between the 60V and 80V on this. None.
Go look. Everything down to RPM of the blades is exactly the same.
