Ideal Home reviewer Jennifer Oksien tested the Greenworks POWERALL 24V cordless mower on freshly laid turf and found it lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and capable of a strong cut. Greenworks lists a runtime of up to 20 minutes and recommends it for lawns up to 140 square metres; the test took about 25 minutes to mow a larger garden, and the battery began stalling near depletion.
Ideal Home reviewer Jennifer Oksien has tested the Greenworks POWERALL 24V cordless lawn mower, finding it light and easy to manoeuvre while reporting that its battery life is best suited to smaller lawns. Greenworks lists the mower for gardens of up to 140 square metres and gives a runtime of up to 20 minutes; Oksien tested it on a larger area of freshly laid turf and said a full charge lasted about 25 minutes of mowing before the mower’s limits became apparent.
The mower has a 33-centimetre cutting deck, a 30-litre grass collection bag and a brushless motor powered by one 2Ah battery. Owners can collect clippings or fit the supplied mulch plug to return finely cut grass to the lawn. A single lever selects one of five cutting heights, from 25 to 70 millimetres, giving users options for different grass conditions and stages of growth.
Oksien tested the mower on two-week-old turf, cutting it three times. She described the mower’s performance as impressive and said its compact deck worked well along the edge of the lawn beside a patio, though a narrow strip remained near a fence. The reviewer found the machine straightforward to steer around the garden and said the handle folds for storage.
The review lists the mower’s weight as 9.5 kilograms in its specifications, but later describes it as weighing 19kg in the account of who it might suit. That inconsistency is not resolved in the source. Oksien reported that the supplied battery arrived uncharged and took about three hours to charge fully. She also said the battery began to stall as it neared depletion and that a brief charge of around 10 minutes did not prevent this.
Runtime Sets the Lawn-Size Limit
The review’s main practical finding is that the mower’s compact size and cordless operation come with a clear trade-off: it is intended for small lawns, not extended mowing sessions. Greenworks’ stated area of up to 140 square metres and runtime of up to 20 minutes give buyers a useful starting point, while Oksien’s test on a larger garden showed why working beyond that guidance may risk running short of power.
For people with a small garden, the mower’s narrow deck may make it easier to guide around edges and store than a larger machine. Those with more grass to cut should pay close attention to the area and runtime figures, and should not assume a short top-up charge will be enough to finish a job. The report is a reviewer’s hands-on test, not a controlled comparison with other mowers.

What the Mower Includes
The POWERALL 24V arrives partly folded and requires some handle assembly, according to the review. The box includes the upper and lower handles, fasteners, a charger, a 2Ah battery, the collection bag, a mulch plug and operating and safety instructions. Oksien said the packaging used cardboard and plastic to hold the components in place.
The test focused on mowing freshly laid turf and was conducted over several weeks. Oksien said her garden was larger than the mower’s recommended capacity, so the battery was put under more demand than Greenworks’ stated small-lawn use suggests. The manufacturer’s figures and the reviewer’s observations are different kinds of evidence: the former describe intended specifications, while the latter reflect one person’s experience in a particular garden.
““I found it easy to manoeuvre.””

Battery Figures and Weight Discrepancy
The review does not establish how runtime would vary across different grass lengths, terrain, weather or mowing patterns, and it does not report a separate controlled test of the manufacturer’s up-to-20-minute runtime. Oksien’s roughly 25-minute mowing time came from her own test on a garden larger than the recommended area; it should not be treated as a general runtime guarantee.
There is also a weight discrepancy in the source: the specification table gives 9.5kg, while the review’s discussion says 19kg. The source does not explain which figure is correct. It also does not provide a purchase price, availability details or a comparison with other models, so those details cannot be established from this report.
Check Fit Before Buying
Readers considering the mower should compare their lawn’s area with Greenworks’ stated limit of 140 square metres and allow time for the battery’s reported three-hour full charge. The review offers no later product update or follow-up test. Until further testing or clarification is available, the weight discrepancy and real-world runtime across different garden conditions remain unresolved.
Key Questions
What size lawn is the Greenworks POWERALL 24V designed for?
Greenworks lists it for lawns of up to 140 square metres. The review says a larger garden may be too ambitious for this cordless model.
How long does its battery run?
The listed runtime is up to 20 minutes. In her test on a larger-than-recommended lawn, reviewer Jennifer Oksien reported about 25 minutes of mowing on a full charge. That result is specific to her test and is not a general guarantee.
Can it collect or mulch grass?
Yes. It can collect clippings in the supplied 30-litre bag or mulch them using the included plug, according to the review.
What cutting heights does it offer?
A single lever sets one of five heights from 25 to 70 millimetres.
How heavy is the mower?
The source is inconsistent: its specification table says 9.5kg, while the review text says 19kg. It does not clarify which figure is correct.
