The GreenWorks product line seems like it had a lot of thought put into it.
I've read hundreds of reviews from all over the internet.
Seems like the batteries are either awesome, or crap. I guess quality control may be somewhat of an issue.
With gas mowers, you run out of gas, you just pour more in it. Not so with batteries.
I would have to have like 10-12 batteries just to play it safe if I had 8 accounts/day that are 1/4 acre or less.
The total cost for 2 mowers, enough batteries, chargers, hedge trimmer, weed trimmer, and blower, along with extra blades will come out to
over $2,200.
As far as the warranty goes - GreenWorks advertises a 4 year warranty, but for Commercial Use, it goes down to 90 days.
I would probably need them to offer me a better warranty, we'll see what they say, if they think they can stand behind their product in such a way.
$2,200 is probably what I would spend in gas products anyways - and then I'd have to pay for gas.
Charging the batteries every day would cost about $800/year averaged out. Probably about 1/3 of the cost of gas, do you think this is accurate?
I'm a bit nervous about it....spending that much on equipment that hasn't been thoroughly tested in the commercial market would leave any business owner a little leery.
However, I don't want to be "just another lawn mowing crew". I want to go above and beyond.
I wish there were others here who could testify to their effectiveness in a commercial setting.
If anyone happens to come along and see this particular thread, and has any real-world experience at this particular thing, please go ahead and register for this forum and
tell me your thoughts! It would be much appreciated.
