Greenworks riding mowers?

Anyone have a Greeworks riding mower? What do you think about it? I'm especially interested if you've had it a few years.

(I'm currently driving a Cub Cadet LT42e and it's been one problem after another for four years.)

No experience, but I have been giving them a close look.   My experience with warranty issues with their chainsaw has been excellent.

I read your thread about the replacement saw!

We have a light duty push snowblower by them for use only on our deck. It’s seems ok but got almost no use last winter. (And our real snowblower for the driveway got none!)

It looks like we've decided to get one. They come using the 60v and 80v battery systems.

There appears to be essentially no performance differences. The only pros and cons I have isolated are:

60v - 1) we have one tool in this system already; 2) the batteries are currently more likely to be on sale (neither of these are strong motivators, but there are two of them)
80v - 1) this is the newer system and will probably be end-of-lifed later than the 60v system (this is a medium motivator)

Anyone have anything else smart to say about how to choose between the two?

I would consider if you would be more likely to get additional tools within the 60v or 80v range.

A lot of my home improvement tools are 18V Ryobi. I stick with this as the interchangeability means I will be utilizing the batteries more cycling them rather than them sitting around and wasting away. I don't know if Greenworks have different sizes of batteries within the 60v, but you might find the performance isn't much different in real conditions if you have the capacity on hand in charged batteries.

Keep in mind that even if the manufacturer EOLs a battery pack, aftermarket versions are often still available. Better yet, since almost all of these are simply combinations of commodity cells like the 18650, they're not very hard to open up and rebuild.

I've used the Greenworks for one mowing season now. The operation of the device is more manual and more difficult than the Cub Cadet. On the other hand it hasn't had to go to the shop and I *never* had a year with the Cub Cadet that it didn't have a problem, so that's a huge 'pro'. And I could charge the old mower by just plugging it in, but I have to pull six batteries out of this one and put them on three double-chargers, which is more of a pain, but it also means I can bring them in the house for the winter because freezing is apparently not good for them.

So far I'm happy but it's not universally better.
