Our verdict
The bottom line
A solid budget cordless for buyers building a Greenworks 24V tool ecosystem. The twin-battery system is the key spec — both must be healthy or runtime collapses. Outclassed by the 40V and 60V Greenworks units on raw performance.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Twin 24V system shares with Greenworks 24V tools
- Includes both batteries and charger
- Light at 17kg
- Mulch plug standard
Cons
- Twin-battery means runtime depends on both
- Greenworks 24V is a smaller ecosystem than 40V or 60V
- Plastic build

Buying second-hand
Used-market tip
£90–160 used. Test BOTH 24V batteries individually. Mismatched packs ruin runtime. Greenworks 24V battery resale is poor — don't pay above £15 per battery used. Plastic deck cracks at the wheel mounts; flip and inspect.
Where to look: Facebook Marketplace and Gumtree are usually 20–30% cheaper than eBay UK for petrol mowers because most sellers want local pickup. eBay tends to win on cordless and electric (lighter, easier to ship). Always insist on a starting demonstration before paying.
