Greenworks 25022 Review

I got myself my first electric mower once i acquired my first house in 2004. That it was a Black and Decker MM675 with a flip-over handle. That lawn mower served me properly for approximately five years rather than allow me to down. Then, 1 day I oftentimes tried it when my lawn was too wet plus the motor started to smoke because it bogged down on wet grass! I really could no longer have the MM675 model, and so i visited Home Depot and "upgraded" towards the MM1800, the 18" corded mulching/bagging mower from Black and Decker. Immediately I used to be dissatisfied. It didn't feel as strong as my old mower, was much more unwieldy, and had this awful plastic shroud that caused it to be not easy to maneuver. Almost everything on it felt affordable, and 2 years later, it died on me when mowing grass that has been not that thick.

I chose to try to leave the Black and Decker world and see what else I possibly could find.

Bear in mind, Used to do not consider gas because I do not have got the place to prevent fuel around and i possess a modest size yard. I did not want cordless battery power because I did not wish to have got to maintain batteries alive (some require charge/discharge cycles all winter) or shop for new batteries.

Corded lawn mowers are a fine solution. Many complain about "cord management", but here's the trick. Your lawn never changes. Until you are a professional landscaper (and in case you are, buy a gas mower), then you always mow exactly the same lawn. So the trick is always to come up with a mowing pattern where you mow far from the outlet and not trip on the cord. As soon as you have a pattern, stick together with it and also you can mow rapidly.

Which brings me towards the Greenworks 25022 20" electric bag/mulch/side discharge mower. It costs a little much more compared to the Black and Decker, but exactly what a difference. First, the deck with the mower is metal, not plastic! Which means it is thinner compared to B&D. Additionally, together with much more metal the top is not covered in bulky plastic. We've a sewer cleanout stand-pipe during my yard. My Black and Decker MM1800 could never mow near to it and so i always wanted to get out the weed whacker. I had been amazed how the Greenworks 25022 could mow therefore close that there is no must come back for cleanup. I did so everything in 1 pass.

The incredible thing is that the mower is 20" as opposed to the 18" on the B&D, meaning I could mow my lawn quicker by using fewer passes, yet it might additionally pick up closer to things because of the smaller shroud within the blade.

Other wonderful characteristics include very big rear tires, what could be the biggest inside the industry. They make it far easier to move than designs having 7" or 8" wheels. Cord management can be a snap using a awesome pig-tail cord that secures nicely. The B&D product didn't use a pigtail, just a plug about the gadget itself, and then the cord was harder and keep in.

This mower additionally permits side-discharge. I normally just mulch, nonetheless it is nice to own that being an option additionally to bagging.

The mower activates together with a simple bar that features a 1-button security. The safety is simple enough to use to not be obtrusive plus the bar is full length thus you are able to grab it from either side.

The height adjustment of the mower is far higher quality than the B&D height adjust. Strong metal controls using positive stops made height adjustment a snap.

For the space limited, the handle folds very very easily. The middle bar doesn't even need to be unscrewed as there are folding posts to "snap" it into place, and the screws on the bottom are retained within the unit when it folds thus you can find no parts to lose.

I am a satisfied convert from Black and Decker, and suggest you give this mower a try! More Review
