An Ideal Home reviewer tested the Greenworks POWERALL 24V cordless mower on newly laid grass and found it light and easy to manoeuvre, with a strong cut along lawn edges. Greenworks rates it for lawns up to 140 square metres and up to 20 minutes of runtime; the reviewer’s larger lawn took about 25 minutes to mow, and the battery began to stall as its charge ran low.
Ideal Home has tested the Greenworks POWERALL 24V cordless lawn mower, a compact model rated for lawns up to 140 square metres. Reviewer Jennifer Oksien found it light and easy to steer, but her test also showed the limits of its 20-minute stated runtime: mowing her larger-than-recommended garden took about 25 minutes, and the battery began to stall as its charge ran down.
Oksien said she used the mower three times on two-week-old turf over several weeks. The test took place on a lawn larger than Greenworks’ recommended coverage, so it does not establish how long the mower takes on a garden within the stated 140-square-metre limit. The reviewer reported a consistent battery performance until the charge was nearing depletion, when the mower began stalling.
The mower has a 33-centimetre cutting deck, a 30-litre collection bag and a mulch option. A plug enables grass to be cut into fine clippings and returned to the lawn; fitting the bag collects the clippings instead. A single lever sets one of five cutting heights, from 25 to 70 millimetres.
Greenworks lists the mower at 9.5 kilograms, while the reviewer’s account describes it as 19kg. That discrepancy is unresolved in the supplied source material. Oksien praised its manoeuvrability and said the deck cut close to patio edges, leaving only a narrow strip beside the fence. The mower folds for storage, though the reviewer said assembly is required and the delivery box may be bulky to move.
Runtime Sets the Lawn-Size Limit
The test points to the main trade-off for shoppers considering a small cordless mower: a narrow deck and light handling can make short, confined lawns easier to cut, while a limited battery runtime can make an overlong job inconvenient. Oksien reported that a brief 10-minute charge did not prevent stalling, and recommended charging the battery fully before mowing.
For owners of gardens close to the mower’s 140-square-metre rating, the review offers practical details about collection, mulching and cutting height. It does not confirm that every lawn within that area can be cut in 20 minutes; grass length, conditions and mowing pace may affect the time required, and the source does not provide a controlled comparison with other models.

How the Mower Is Equipped
The POWERALL 24V uses a single 2Ah battery and a brushless motor. The source gives a rated runtime of up to 20 minutes and says a full charge takes about three hours. The battery arrives uncharged, according to the reviewer, who advised charging it fully before first use.
The supplied accessories include the charger, battery, collection bag, mulch plug and handle components. The reviewer said the handle needs to be attached and the bag fitted if collecting clippings. Greenworks’ product specification lists a 33cm deck and five height settings; those features let users adjust the cut for different grass conditions, though the review does not report a formal measurement of cut quality.
““I found it easy to manoeuvre.””
— Jennifer Oksien, Ideal Home reviewer
Test Limits and Specification Discrepancy
The test was conducted on a garden larger than the recommended 140 square metres, so its roughly 25-minute mowing time cannot be treated as the expected time for a smaller lawn. The source does not state the test lawn’s exact area, the grass height at each cut or whether the battery was fully charged for every run.
There is also a weight discrepancy in the supplied review: its specification table gives 9.5kg, but a later passage says 19kg. The available material does not resolve which figure is correct. The review also says its test unit arrived with a US-style charger plug, while noting that UK models should come with a UK plug; the reviewer said this had been checked, but the source does not explain the discrepancy further.
Check Fit Before Buying
Readers considering the mower should compare their lawn’s size with Greenworks’ 140-square-metre recommendation and check the current product listing for the correct weight, regional charger and included accessories. The review does not give a price or report a longer-term assessment of battery life, so those details are not established by this test.
For the reviewer, the next practical step is a fully charged battery before a mowing session, particularly after the mower has stalled near depletion. The source provides no announced follow-up test or manufacturer response to the reported issues.
Key Questions
What lawn size is the Greenworks POWERALL 24V designed for?
Greenworks rates it for lawns up to 140 square metres. The reviewer tested it on a larger lawn, so that test does not show how it performs across every garden within the recommended area.
How long does the battery last?
The stated runtime is up to 20 minutes on its 2Ah battery. In the review, the battery began to stall as it neared depletion; the larger test lawn took about 25 minutes to mow.
Can it collect or mulch grass?
Yes. It can collect clippings in the supplied 30-litre bag or mulch them using the mulch plug, according to the review.
How many cutting heights does it offer?
The mower has five cutting-height settings, ranging from 25mm to 70mm, adjusted with a single lever.
How heavy is the mower?
The supplied source contains conflicting figures: its specification table says 9.5kg, while another passage says 19kg. The discrepancy is not resolved in the review material.
