Ideal Home tested the Greenworks POWERALL 24V cordless mower on freshly laid grass and found it lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. Its stated runtime is up to 20 minutes, while the reviewer’s lawn took about 25 minutes to mow, highlighting the need to match it to a small lawn and charge the battery fully.
Ideal Home has tested the Greenworks POWERALL 24V cordless lawn mower, a compact model intended for lawns of up to 140 square metres. The reviewer found it light and easy to steer, but reported that a test mow took about 25 minutes against a stated runtime of up to 20 minutes, underlining that the mower is best matched to a smaller area.
The mower uses one 2Ah battery, has a 33cm cutting deck and weighs 19kg, according to the review. Greenworks lists a runtime of up to 20 minutes. The reviewer tested it three times on two-week-old turf in a garden larger than the maker’s recommended 140-square-metre limit, so the test conditions were more demanding than the intended use.
In that garden, a fully charged battery and the 33cm deck took about 25 minutes to cut the grass. The reviewer said the mower handled well and produced an impressive cut, including along the edge beside a patio. A narrow strip remained beside a fence, which the review said would be difficult for any mower to reach. These are observations from one garden, not a guarantee of results on other lawns.
The mower can collect clippings in a 30-litre bag or mulch them back onto the lawn using the supplied mulch plug. A single lever selects among five cutting heights, from 25mm to 70mm. The handle folds for storage. The supplied 2Ah battery was flat on arrival in the reviewer’s test and took about three hours to charge fully; the reviewer found a short top-up of around 10 minutes was not enough to prevent stalling as the battery ran low.
Runtime Sets the Lawn-Size Limit
For people with a small lawn and limited storage space, a compact, 19kg cordless mower may be easier to handle than a larger machine. The review’s findings make the battery specification as important as the mower’s size: a 20-minute stated runtime leaves little margin if grass is long, the ground is difficult, or the lawn exceeds the recommended area.
The reviewer’s approximately 25-minute mowing time is a useful real-world warning, but it should not be read as a direct measurement of performance on a lawn under 140 square metres. The test garden was larger than that recommendation, and the source does not give its exact area or the conditions affecting the cut. Buyers should treat the stated lawn capacity as a guide and allow time for a full charge before use.

What the 24V Model Offers
The Greenworks POWERALL 24V is a cordless, battery-powered mower designed for smaller gardens. Its listed features include a brushless motor, plastic deck, 33cm cutting width, folding handle and two ways to manage clippings. The package described in the review includes the mower, 2Ah battery, charger, collection bag, mulch plug and assembly hardware.
The reviewer said setup involved securing the lower and upper handles and attaching the grass collector if using it. The charger supplied for the test had a US-style plug, but the reviewer said Greenworks had confirmed UK models should come with a UK plug. That detail relates to the tested unit and the reviewer’s check; prospective buyers should confirm what is included with the specific version they are purchasing.
“It was easy to manoeuvre around the garden.”
— Ideal Home reviewer Jennifer Oksien
Results Outside the Test Garden
The source does not state the exact size of the reviewer’s lawn, the grass height across the whole area, or whether the 25-minute mowing time included pauses. It also does not report a controlled runtime test on a lawn at or below the 140-square-metre recommendation. The difference between the stated runtime and the test time should not be treated as proof that every battery will last less than advertised.
The review describes testing on freshly laid, two-week-old turf, but does not establish how the mower performs across different grass types, slopes, or longer-established lawns. It gives no sale price or detailed comparison with other models. Those details would be needed for a fuller assessment of value and performance across a range of gardens.
Check Fit Before Buying
The review’s practical takeaway is to compare the mower’s 140-square-metre recommended area and up-to-20-minute runtime with the lawn that needs cutting. Buyers should check the battery and charger supplied with their chosen UK model, and plan for a full charge before mowing. The source identifies no follow-up test or product update, so further performance findings are not confirmed.
Key Questions
What size lawn is the Greenworks POWERALL 24V designed for?
Greenworks gives a recommended maximum of 140 square metres. The review advises that a larger lawn may be too ambitious for this mower.
How long does its battery last?
The stated runtime is up to 20 minutes from the supplied 2Ah battery. In the reviewer’s larger-than-recommended test garden, mowing took about 25 minutes; that result does not establish runtime on a smaller lawn.
Can the mower mulch as well as collect grass?
Yes. It can collect clippings in the supplied 30-litre bag or mulch them using the included plug.
How long does the battery take to charge?
The reviewer reported that a full charge took about three hours. They found a brief 10-minute charge was not enough to prevent stalling as the battery approached depletion.
