GreenWorks 25022 Lawn Mower Review
The GreenWorks 25022 is a well-engineered, reliable, and quiet walk-behind electric corded lawn mower. It features a 12 amp motor with a 20 inches wider cutting deck. Also, it’s capable of 3-in-1 discharge, a rear collection bag, adjusting the handle and cutting height, etc.
The physical dimension of the lawn mower is 26.9 x 16.1 x 18 inches. Despite its steel cutting deck, it weighs 56 pounds (25.4 kg around).
Motor
The mower comes with a 12 amp powerful motor. Mower every time start with pull up the handle lever and start the mowing job.
The 12 amp motor combined with a 20-inches blade and provides sufficient power to cut the tough grass—just make the blade is sharp or as sharp as possible.
During operation, the mower is silent, compared with other mowers.
Cut Quality and Height Changing Options
The 20-inch steel cutting deck is durable and allows you to cut the sizeable area quickly. It is big enough cutting range to maintain a large area. However, GreenWorks recommend this mower only suitable for small to medium yards.
20-inches is enough cutting deck to cut a decent amount of grass each pass, and I think it’s not fit into a smaller garden corner and maybe you have to clean the garden corner manually.
Its 7-position single lever height adjustments feature allows you to cut the grass 1-1/2 to 3-3/4 inches for all grass types.
Also, the mower will able to cut the lawns approximately 100-foot radius from the electric outlet which easily covers most outdoor lawns.
Grass Management
When it comes to grass management, thanks to its 3-in-1 ability. The features allow us to choose between mulching, bagging, and rear discharge. The rear bag made of Fabric and it gets dirty quickly. It easy to attach and empty.
If your lawn has tall and wet grass, then grass mulching or side discharge is not good. It makes your lawn a mess. And for this reason, bagging is an excellent choice to maintain a niche looking lawn.
The motor has enough power to mulch the grass and also mulching is best for the soil. The mulching plug includes the mower. Make sure that you install it before start the mulching.
Conversely, side-discharge is the most common way to clipping the grass.
Ease of use
As a corded electric lawn mower, the mower is always going to be easier to use than a gas-powered lawn mower of the same size and characteristics. After unboxing the mower it takes on 10-15 minutes to assemble and then you can start the mowing.
It is a versatile walk-behind mower that offers three functions: mulching, side discharge, or rear bag storage.
The mower starts every with a single press power button and bail switch combination.
During its operation, it was rather quiet than the gas mower. Being an electric mower it doesn’t emit any fumes or smoke during mowing. In your mowing time, if you find any smell, actually that is cut grass smell. Also, the mower does not release harmful emission into the air and make the air quality is quite good at mowing time.
It is easy to control and you can change the cutting height of a single lever with no hassle. Its lightweight design helps it to be easy to maneuver and push.
When you operate the mower, always be aware of your feet, extension cable, common yard obstacle, hard obstacle, people, child, and pet.
Wheels
The mower has a 10 inch rear and 7-inch front wheels. The large rear wheel makes a big difference from a traditional mower. For its large rear wheels, it’s easy to maneuver and turn on the other side. Also, it adds more traction on the hilly or uneven grounds.
Extension Cord
The mower didn’t come with the extension cable. Based on your lawn size, always use a rated cord. When using an extension cable, use one rated cable and heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause overheating and also burn your mower.
The 14 gauge cord is standard for most lawns but if your yard is less than 40 feet a 16 gauge extension cord is an excellent choice.
Note:
During mowing time, make sure your cord is properly wired and in pleasant condition. Always change the damaged cord. Keep your cord away from wet, excessive heat areas and sharp obstacles.
Always use a separate circuit board for your mower and the circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Be remember that never run your mower with lower voltage. Lower voltage will damage the motor.
Maintenance
The 20 inches 12 amp corded lawn mower requires little maintenance compared to the gas-powered lawn mowers. Namely,
1. At the end of the mowing operation always cleans the mower. Never use water. Use a dry cloth and wipe up the mower.
2. Always remove the clipping grass from the mower deck.
3. Always use sharp blades.
4. Storage your mower indoor and be sure the place is clean and dry.
Special Features
1. Superior grass management features – Mulching, Bagging, Side-discharge
2. Cord retainer – hold the cord in the right position
3. Circuit breaker – GreenWorks equip the mower with a circuit breaker to protect the supply circuit from short circuit overloads.
4. Folding handle – Its adjustable folding handle helps to get rid of the back pain in your mowing time.
5. Cutting deck – Its wider cutting deck combined with a 12 amp motor cuts a decent amount of grass every time and saves your time.
The Greenworks 25022 Overall Performance
As a mower expert, I’m impressed with its overall performance, and also I can not find any major drawback for this mower.
Cutting quality
The 20 inches wider cutting blades cut the grass extremely well. But it can not be well performed in wet conditions. It can cut smoothly the tall grass. But the mower performed well in a dry condition. The mower blade is ideal for mulching and bagging the clipping grass. It properly spreads out the clipping grass on the yards and helps to give the natural nutrition on the lawn.
Grass Collection
The 3-in-1 ability offers rear bagging the clipping grass. Also, bagging is super well. It did not leave any grass clippings behind the mower on the bagging time. The rear is easy to attach and empty the bag.
Maneuverability
This mower is super maneuverable. I think for its large 10 inch rear wheels, it’s easy to maneuver. Also, 56 pounds of weight is not heavy for middle-aged women.
Safety Tips
1. Do not handle plugs or tools with wet hands.
2. Mow on the dry grass and make sure that the yard is dry after rain or watering
3. Must manage the cord
4. Always use a highlighted color rated gauge cord and must be careful to manage the cord and keep it out of the mowing path.
5. Always store the mower indoors.
6. During the mowing time always wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves and avoid loose garments or jewelry. Because they could get caught in moving parts of the machine.
Cost-Effectiveness
Among the electric mowers, 25022 is affordable and provides value for money. It is environment friendly and doesn’t require oil, gas, or spark plug. Also, its 4 years warranty offer saves money from the maintenance.
Warranty
The mower comes with a 4-Year tool warranty. Tool’s warranty means; through normal usage, if you found any defects, they didn’t take any charge for the repair to the customer. Also, remember that the item not covered by the warranty,
if any part has become inoperative because of misuse,

So be careful about your mower.
