Mower works great. The app is worthless!

The mower itself works great. Installing the boundary wires was pretty easy just time consuming. However the Greenworks app is terrible! I gave up trying to create a schedule after wasting too much time when the app won’t save it.
I manually start and stop the mower. Please fix the app!!!

Cuts great. I was worried about a couple ruts but it beasts right through and if it cant it has always been able to get back out. Successfully docks every time in the little house i made. So nice to sip coffee and listen to the birds and watch this little guy.

The setup instructions were pretty horrible, still can't identify which model I have, but the mower works surprisingly well considering it mows with tiny razor blades. It needs to charge to finish mowing but charges quickly. Overall happy with it so far.

The mower cuts great. It takes a while to set-up boundary and guide wires. I think it is good or better for a small yard.

Works well unless you have power lines under the ground. I had to run the guide wire around the power lines and have to mow that area by hand. Other than that, i love it.

App is terrible

Mower works great. It’s fun to watch it cut the grass. Setting up the boundaries took quite a lot of time, we have to go back to adjust some of the boundaries. The app is absolutely terrible and frustrating to use. Now, we can’t get the mower to connect to it. This is why I’m leaving a 3 star. We cannot utilize a set schedule now.

It took a day to setup the boundary line, but it was very simple and everything I needed was included. Over the next couple weeks I dialed in the settings and took care of a few problem areas in the yard that Moe (we named it) ran into, and I haven't had to touch it since. Yard looks better than ever!
I would love to buy more green works cordless products, but I already have multiple 60v tools from them and unfortunately Best Buy doesn't seem to carry that line, which is sad because 60v seems to have the largest assortment of tools from Green works.

I've had mine set up for about a month now and it works great. I have a smaller backyard and it cuts the entire thing in about 45-60 minutes. I would 100% recommend this unit to anyone.

Doesn’t cut well

Moves too fast and pushes over grass and weeds without cutting very well. App is unreliable. No way to program a pattern or control unit using app.

Hello GrassMan. We are concerned to hear you are not satisfied with your Optimow mower. If your robotic mower is moving too fast and pushing over grass and weeds instead of cutting, try adjusting the cutting height, this robot mower features a five-position adjustable cut height (between 2.4” and 4”) to match your grass type. Ensuring the blades are sharp, and consider the lawn's conditions (wet grass, tall grass, etc.) to optimize performance. With the GreenGuide app you can control and manage your Optimow from anywhere. The GreenGuide app allows you to schedule your Optimow to mow anytime day or night, giving you complete control over your lawn's maintenance. Using the QR is the quickest and easiest way to pair your Optimow to your phone. The app will open a link onto your camera, simply point it at the QR code and the information will be automatically filled in. If you chose to Pair Manually you would see a screen with the same serial number and pairing code fields. You then simply type in the information from your Quick Guide and click continue. We hope these tips help provide a better user experience. If there is anything we can do to help improve your experience, please let us know! Contact us through Live Chat on Greenworks Tools website (www.greenworkstools.com) or call 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). So, our experts can discuss your experience; please have your unit, battery and charger with you along with the model and serial number to complete troubleshooting to ensure quick resolution is provided.

I don't know how this mower does, honestly. The one sent to me didn't have the "quick start guide" in the box, and without that piece of paper, you literally cannot pair this mower with the app (which is also not friendly). Customer service is horrible from Greenworks. Very likely returning this product.

Not for us

Never used it because it requires cell service (eventually an annual membership too) and we don't have any where we live. Also it would have been a big project laying the wires around the parameter. Hopefully something the functions like the robot vacuum arrives on the market soon.

This thing mows like no other. I’ve tried using roombas but they do nothing for my lawn. Driving to the optimowa gave me so much extra time in my month to spend with my grandchildren. I just watched my grandsons first baseball game thanks to optimowa.
