About Greenworks
Greenworks opened for business in 2002 and says it brought the first lithium-ion cordless string trimmer to the U.S. market in 2007, the same year it launched its original 20V battery platform. The company's U.S. distribution headquarters sits in Mooresville, North Carolina, and the catalog has grown to more than 500 products spanning five separate cordless battery platforms — 24V, 40V, 60V, 80V, and 82V — that scale from light-duty trimmers up to commercial zero-turn mowers and electric utility vehicles. Greenworks is owned by Globe Tools Group and has been an aggressive patent filer on its cordless designs, logging 633 new patents in 2021 alone, the most of any year in the company's history.
STIHL, long the world leader in gas chainsaws, bought a minority but substantial stake in Globe Tools Group in 2016 — an unusual vote of confidence from a premium gas-power incumbent in a battery-first challenger. Consumer Reports independently tests Greenworks equipment across multiple categories, including its 24V battery platform, several corded electric pressure washers, and the 80V CS80L413 chainsaw. That engineering shows up in our own testing: the 80V chainsaw and leaf blower platforms deliver gas-equivalent output, the Greenworks Pro pressure washer carries CSA-certified pressure ratings rather than marketing-inflated numbers, and the mower and trimmer lines we reviewed back their batteries with 3- to 4-year warranties, longer than most cordless competitors in the same roundups.

Why we recognized Greenworks

Greenworks products we rated highly
Greenworks 80V 18-Inch Brushless Cordless Chainsaw Kit (4.0 Ah Battery and Charger)
The best big-bar value in our chainsaw roundup: an 18-inch bar and an 80V brushless motor deliver roughly 45cc gas-equivalent power for felling mid-size trees and producing real firewood, not just pruning. Metal bucking spikes give leveraged, controlled cuts, and the charger tops off the included battery in under 30 minutes, with more than 2,000 reviews backing it at 4.4 stars.

Greenworks 80V 700 CFM Brushless Cordless Blower Kit
700 CFM at 180 MPH on the 80V brushless platform matches gas-powered blower output, clearing wet leaves and compacted debris faster than any other handheld blower we tested. A variable-speed dial holds a consistent setting for large-area sweeping, and the brushless motor stays cool through back-to-back sessions on a half-acre property.

Greenworks BL40L210 40V Cordless Blower Kit
A complete kit, battery and charger included, that steps up to a brushless 40V motor for longer motor life than brushed rivals at a similar price. 150 MPH airspeed pushes debris out of corners and off fences, and because it shares Greenworks' 40V platform with their trimmers, chainsaws, and mowers, it's an easy add for anyone already building out that ecosystem.

Greenworks Pro 3000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer
The only electric pressure washer in our roundup built for daily professional use: CSA-certified 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM deliver 6,000 independently verified cleaning units, and a TruBrushless 14-Amp motor plus a steel frame stand up to job-site handling that would wear out a plastic residential machine. The tradeoff is weight — at roughly 50 pounds it's the heaviest machine we tested, the cost of daily-use durability.

Greenworks 80V 21" Self-Propelled Cordless Lawn Mower
Our top lawn mower pick for most homeowners. The 80V battery pushes through thick, weedy growth that bogs down 40V and 48V cordless mowers, and rear-wheel-drive self-propel with variable speed holds traction on slopes up to roughly 15 degrees. A 4-in-1 deck covers mulching, bagging, side discharge, and leaf shredding, and more than 2,300 verified reviews at 4.5 stars give it the largest cordless-mower sample in our roundup.

Greenworks 48V 17" Cordless Push Lawn Mower
A top pick for small and urban lawns. Two 24V batteries and a dual-port charger are included at the entry-kit price, not a stripped bare-tool listing, and at 42.5 pounds it's the lightest mower in our roundup, an easy lift for townhome owners or anyone storing it on a shelf. The poly deck is rust-proof, useful for a mower that lives on a balcony or in a humid shed.

Greenworks 60V 21" Brushless Self-Propelled Cordless Lawn Mower
Built for large lawns on a single charge: dual 4.0Ah batteries cover roughly three-quarters of an acre before a recharge, and a four-year battery warranty, the best in the Greenworks lineup, protects the most expensive cordless consumable. LED headlights and an IPX4 rating keep it working through morning dew or light drizzle.

Greenworks 1900 PSI Compact
A top pick for home use: a compact vertical design stores upright in a corner instead of taking up floor space, and push-button start skips the pull-cord frustration of gas alternatives. At 21.4 pounds it's easy to carry between the driveway, patio, and backyard, and a 3-year manufacturer warranty is the longest in our roundup at this price.

Greenworks 2000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer
The longest reach in our electric category: a 25-foot hose plus a 35-foot power cord give 60 feet of total range from the outlet, enough to cover a full two-car driveway without repositioning the machine. Large rear wheels roll it across gravel and grass, backed by the same established parts and reliability record as the rest of the Greenworks outdoor power lineup.

Greenworks 80V 20-Inch Cordless Snow Blower
A top pick for light-to-moderate snowfall: the 80V brushless platform gives cordless convenience at just 37 pounds, light enough for anyone in the household to operate, with more than 4,000 verified reviews backing its real-world performance. It's built for moderate snow rather than heavy or wet accumulation, where its 10-inch intake height and 20-inch clearing width reach their limit.

Greenworks 40V 12" Cordless String Trimmer (Battery & Charger Included)
The right entry point into a full cordless outdoor lineup: auto-feed line advance skips the bump-and-tap routine mid-session, and a 3-year tool and 3-year battery warranty is the longest combined coverage in our roundup at any price. It shares its 40V battery with more than 75 other Greenworks tools, mowers, blowers, chainsaws, snow blowers, and pressure washers among them, so the battery investment compounds across a full yard-care setup.

- Opened in 2002 and credited with bringing the first lithium-ion cordless string trimmer to the U.S. market in 2007, well ahead of the industry's broader shift away from gas.
- STIHL, long the world leader in gas chainsaws, bought a minority but substantial stake in Greenworks' parent company, Globe Tools Group, in 2016 — real validation from an established gas-power competitor.
- Consumer Reports independently tests Greenworks products across multiple categories, including its 24V battery platform, several corded pressure washers, and the 80V chainsaw.
- A genuinely wide cordless ecosystem, five separate battery platforms from 24V to 82V and 500+ products, that lets a homeowner build an entire yard-care lineup on one brand's batteries.
- Backed the lawn mower and trimmer lines we tested with 3- to 4-year warranties, longer coverage than most cordless competitors in the same roundups.
