The GreenWorks line offers an array of benefits beyond the powerful battery included:

Innovative
The entire line of GreenWorks G-MAX equipment is packed with innovation. The Twin Force^® Dual Blade Mower is equipped with Smart Cut^® technology, which regulates the output of the battery by sensing the height of the grass to determine the power needed, thus allowing the battery to conserve on shorter grass. Additional features built into this revolutionary mower:

Up to 70 minutes run time on a single charge of the two lithium-ion batteries
Up to 50 percent better mulching with twin blade technology
Up to 53 pounds lighter than competitor push mowers

Quiet and Lightweight
Because they are battery-powered, GreenWorks G-MAX products are noticeably quieter than comparable gas-powered products. In addition, each product is easier to maneuver because it's powered by lightweight batteries versus heavy gasoline engines. For example, the Twin Force Mower is 53 pounds lighter than comparable push mowers.

Versatile and Economical
Complete your yard work quickly with the GreenWorks G-MAX 40 volt lithium ion products because they all use the same battery, making it easy to switch batteries with the simple snap-on and -off design on all 10 products. Consumers also may save hundreds of dollars in fuel costs each year by switching from gas to G-MAX. A G-MAX 40V battery costs less than .02 cents to fully re-charge.

The entire GreenWorks product family includes: 20V, 24V and 36V battery powered outdoor power equipment, a full corded line and reel mowers. GreenWorks products may be purchased at various retailers and online. For more information, visit GreenWorksTools.com and follow GreenWorks on Facebook.
