Greenworks lawn mower review

Greenworks offers one of the widest selections of battery-powered lawn mowers available in Canada, spanning four voltage platforms, five deck sizes, and everything from compact push mowers to full-size zero-turn riders. Whether you're mowing a townhouse patch or a two-acre rural lot, there's a Greenworks mower engineered for the job.

This review covers every current model, with honest assessments of strengths, limitations, and who each mower is built for.

Compact Push Mowers — The 48V Platform

Greenworks 48V (24V x 2) 14″ Push Mower

The 48V 14″ Mower is the most compact walk-behind in the lineup. Its narrow deck navigates tight spaces — around garden beds, along narrow pathways, between landscaping features — where wider mowers can't fit. The poly deck keeps weight down, folding handles allow vertical storage, and SmartCut technology adjusts power automatically for varying grass thickness.

Our take: The best mower under $400 for small yards. If your property is under 3,000 square feet, this is likely all you need. The 24V POWERALL battery compatibility makes it an easy entry point into the Greenworks ecosystem.

Rating: 4.5/5 — Deducted half a point for limited battery capacity on thicker grass. A second battery solves this.

Greenworks 48V (24V x 2) 17″ Push Mower

The 48V 17″ Push Mower adds three inches of deck width for more ground coverage per pass. Same 48V power, same SmartCut technology, same folding handles. The extra width is noticeable — fewer passes means less time mowing, and three inches adds up over a full yard.

Our take: The best all-around value mower Greenworks makes. At 17 inches, it's wide enough to mow efficiently but narrow enough to stay nimble. If you're buying one mower for a standard suburban lot (3,000 to 6,000 square feet), this is the one.

Rating: 5/5 — Outstanding balance of price, performance, size, and ecosystem compatibility.

Flagship Walk-Behind — The 80V Platform

Greenworks 80V 21″ Brushless Self-Propelled Mower

The 80V 21″ Self-Propelled Mower is the top of the walk-behind range. The 80V brushless motor delivers noticeably more cutting torque than the 48V models. The 21-inch steel deck is wider, more durable, and covers more ground per pass. Self-propelled rear-wheel drive with variable speed makes mowing effortless on any terrain.

SmartCut technology, 7 cutting heights, and 3-in-1 capability (mulch, bag, side-discharge) round out the feature set. The 80V battery is interchangeable with Greenworks 80V blowers, chainsaws, string trimmers, and snow blowers.

Our take: If your yard is over 5,000 square feet, has any slopes, or if you want the most powerful walk-behind Greenworks offers, this is it. The self-propelled drive is a genuine upgrade — once you use it, you won't go back to pushing.

Rating: 5/5 — Flagship performance, build quality, and battery ecosystem. The benchmark for premium battery mowers in Canada.

Riding Mowers — The 60V Crossover Platform

Greenworks 60V CrossoverT Riding Mower

The 60V CrossoverT is a full-size riding mower with a 42-inch fabricated steel deck powered by six 8.0Ah batteries. Three independent brushless blade motors provide consistent cutting power across the full width of the deck. Up to 2 acres of mowing per charge.

Our take: A legitimate gas-rider replacement for properties between half an acre and 2 acres. The noise reduction alone justifies the switch for many homeowners. Zero maintenance compared to gas riders is the long-term value play.

Rating: 4.5/5 — Excellent performance and build quality. Half point deducted for the premium price point, though long-term operating cost savings offset this.

Greenworks 60V CrossoverZ Zero Turn Mower

The 60V CrossoverZ adds zero-turn steering to the same 42-inch deck and battery platform. Zero-turn capability lets you pivot on the spot and navigate tightly around obstacles — trees, garden beds, swing sets — without leaving uncut strips. For properties with lots of landscaping, this saves significant time per mow.

Our take: The ultimate battery mower for large, complex properties. If your yard has numerous trees and features to mow around, the zero-turn manoeuvrability is worth the premium over the CrossoverT.

Rating: 5/5 — The most advanced battery mower available to Canadian homeowners.

Which Greenworks Mower Should You Buy?

Under 3,000 sq ft, flat: 48V 14″ Push — compact, affordable, lightweight.

3,000–6,000 sq ft: 48V 17″ Push — best value, ideal size, great ecosystem.

5,000–10,000 sq ft or hilly: 80V 21″ Self-Propelled — flagship performance, self-propelled drive.

Half acre to 2 acres: 60V CrossoverT — full-size rider, zero gas maintenance.

Half acre+ with complex landscaping: 60V CrossoverZ — zero-turn precision for navigating obstacles.

The Greenworks Advantage

Across the entire lineup, a few things remain consistent: instant push-button starting, zero emissions, dramatically lower noise than gas, minimal maintenance, and strong warranties (3-year on 24V/40V tools, 4-year on 80V tools). Greenworks Tools Canada's Holland Landing headquarters provides local support, a dedicated service centre, and trilingual customer assistance.
