Bottom Line
The Greenworks MO40L2512 gains a lot of mixed reviews from consumers. The mower itself generally gets the cutting job done for small-sized lawns. It’s easy to assemble, operate and very quiet to use. One thing to take note and where the mower gets most of its negative feedback from its lackluster battery life brought about by its 2 2.5 AH batteries. Its total average run time is about 30 minutes on both batteries. Good for a small-sized lawn but definitely lacking for lawns larger than 1/3 of an acre. If you’re looking for an environment-friendly option and own a small-sized lawn, this is an option worth looking at. For larger sized lawns, be ready to purchase the 5AH batteries to get the most out of the MO40L2512.
