80v Power station discontinued?

It seems that the 80v power station has been discontinued and I'm pretty disappointed.

Anyone have insight into why this might have happened?

Did it not work well?

Looking for a mower replacement piece…no luck so far

One of the rear latch pieces has a break. Searched all through the greenworks site to find a replacement piece, but no luck. Anybody have any helpful info here? Thank you in advance!

Considering my first leaf blower to hopefully also clean gutters

I've never bought or even used a leaf blower. I'm considering one now to help clean up yard waste and also use a gutter cleaning attachment and clean my neglected gutters.

I find myself in the 80V Greenworks ecosystem after the purchase of a Masterforce multi-head tool system on sale.

How big of a leaf blower do I need if I want to do my gutters?

When cleaning up lawn debris or leaves, how often do you need the highest setting versus the lower setting?

And is anyone here using their leaf blower in combination with a gutter cleaning attachment that you would recommend?

Simple things that they get so wrong

I’m trying to install a new blade on my edger for the first time but CANNOT get the bolt to budge. Their instructions say use a wrench, but it’s tightened so much when assembled, that doesn’t work.
Pain in the rear…

Greenworks 60V 21" Self Propelled Lawn Mower with (1) 8.0 Ah Battery & Rapid Charger -- Question

Seeing this at my local Walmart for a reasonable price. My lot (according to Zillow) is about 9200 SQ ft. It had a pretty large hill in the back that I usually cut in two sections, going up and down for a few passes on each side and then working in a spiral at the top part and the bottom part to cut down on the amount of climbing I have to do.

How much grass can I reasonably cut with an 8 AH battery with a hill like that? I have a hill and a rather awkward ditch that has some steep sections to cut.

Right now it takes me about an hour or less with a gas mower to cut my yard. The mower is self propelled, but it's so old and the tires are so bald that I feel like I'm doing more work than the mower.

I keep wanting to switch to electric, but the price of batteries alone makes me cringe. I can get by on about $10 worth of gas a summer, which is a lot less than batteries cost. When I saw this mower, I looked up the battery itself to see how much a replacement costs and its the same price $350.

30 minute window

Do not order online. I'm not sure if it was my mistake or theirs, but the wrong mower was ordered. I'm not sure how long after ordering the confirmation was sent, but it was long enough that I missed the egregious 30 minute cancelation window. First call woman referred me back to website - that is, she wasn't going to tell me the order couldn't be canceled, she wanted me to read cancelation policy. Called again for another staff to tell me that it hadn't been processed but it couldn't be canceled. FedEx label wasn't created until the following day. What kind of company works this way? I refused delivery and two weeks into waiting for refund - minus ~$50 for shipping. At least that's what they told me they were going to charge, I'll believe iot when I see it.

Update: Got tired of waiting for refund. Disputed with Chase Visa. Refunded full amount the following morning. No $50 deducted for shipping. I really don't get the 30 minute thing. Who does this benefit besides someone who needs a part yesterday? Greenworks I guess, somehow. Sure doesn't help my opinion of the company.

Are 82v batteries worth investing in?

I got an email offer for a string trimmer kit that includes two 82v batteries, for $99. It seems like a screaming deal but I'm not finding a whole lot of tools compatible with the 82v line. Maybe that's why the kit is so cheap?

I think the blade on my mower has been upside down since I bought it...

Full disclosure I don't mow my own lawn because of allergies, family takes care of it but it's been having a lot of trouble cutting so I took the blade off to sharpen it and noticed that it was upside down. The cutting surface faced up, the wings faced down but the chevrons that hold it in place will only let it go on in that direction... I asked everybody who uses my lawn mower and no one's ever replaced the blade so it seems to be the one that came with it like 3 years ago. Any clue what's going on here?

Mulching seems to not be working like it used .

I have a GWB094017 (80v walk behind mower). This year the mulching power seems to have diminished and I am constantly needing to unclog the deck, even when I bag. I did put on a new blade, which was labeled a mulching blade and bought from GW. However, I also got a new 80v/5amp battery. Not sure what's going on.

Mower MO60L424 model confusion, and GreenWorks vs GreenWorks Pro?

I just bought a new GW mower from Amazon and it's different than the picture on Amazon and the recent customer pictures in reviews

The main difference, aside from some color differences and body shape is that thne Amazon listing pictures say greenworks pro all over it, and mine does not - even my grass catcher bag just says greenworks. The batteries look different than the pictures (The ones in the Amazon pictures look like my old GW batteries, the ones I received look like a newer design but they are interchangeable).

I scoured the machine and the packaging/shipping labels and everything has the right model number. A tiny shipping label on the box says greenworks pro, as does the dual-battery charger

It seems to work fine and the price was righ so I reeeeeally don't want to return it unless there is some meaningful difference between what I received and what was listed. Is there anything to be concerned about here, or should I just chill?

Looking for recommendations on extra batteries

I recently bought this for the house that’s about a qtr acre big and it doesn’t make it all the ways around the house to final and the batteries are super hot when finished. Takes a while for them to cool down to be able to be placed back on the charger. I find it very difficult to plan my day doing the lawn when the batteries don’t last to use both the weed eater and/or then the mower. I’m looking for some recommendations on backup batteries to make the project go by quicker. Thanks y’all! 🤙🏽

Is $100 a good deal for used 80v 4.0ah battery with charger?

As the title says, Is $100 a good deal for a used 80v 4.0ah battery with charger?

Old design, used a few times each year in a snowblower. Stored in a basement, not empty. Video proof of light turning green when plugged in.

String trimmer replacement head

I have an oldish 40v stringer/ edger. I was wondering if I could replace the head with an auto feed bump head, or similar product. Also if you have any recommendations on the replacement, please send a recommendation

80v Maximus 60”

Does anyone in this group have experience with the 80v Maximus 60” (or 54”)? I have a large property that I mow mostly with my John Deere 55 hp tractor, but also an acre or two of regular lawn. It would also be handy in places I can’t easily get the tractor with bushcutter. I already own several 80v greenworks tools, so that’s a plus. So, any insights welcome!

60V ST60L00 — is this just as easy as a replacement head?

Wife & I inherited these from the previous owners of our house & this just happened. I’d just respooled the current string as I’d done a number of times before now, and this entire thing just popped off & I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a break quite like this. lol
