What's the difference between 24V and 40V Greenworks tools?

The 24V range is designed for lighter tasks around the home — hedge trimming, small lawn mowing (320mm), drilling, line trimming, and leaf blowing. Tools are lighter and more compact. The 40V range is built for heavier garden work — full-size lawn mowing (460mm+), chainsaws, brush cutting, and high-powered blowing. 40V tools have brushless motors and more runtime. All batteries within a voltage range are interchangeable — any 24V battery fits any 24V tool, and any 40V battery fits any 40V tool.

Are Greenworks batteries interchangeable between tools?

Yes — that's the core of the Greenworks system. Every 24V battery works in every 24V tool, and every 40V battery works in every 40V tool. However, 24V and 40V batteries are NOT cross-compatible — they're different physical sizes and voltages. Start with a kit (tool + battery + charger), then add skin-only tools to expand your collection affordably.

What does 'skin only' mean?

A 'skin' is the tool without a battery or charger — just the bare tool. If you already own a Greenworks battery and charger in the same voltage (24V or 40V), buying skins is the most cost-effective way to expand your tool collection. Kits include the tool plus a battery and charger.

How do Greenworks tools compare to petrol equivalents?

Greenworks battery tools are significantly quieter (typically 20-40% less noise), produce zero direct emissions, require almost no maintenance (no oil changes, spark plugs, fuel filters, or pull-start cords), and start instantly with a button press. The trade-off is runtime — you're limited by battery capacity rather than a fuel tank. For most residential use, a 4.0Ah battery provides plenty of runtime. For larger properties, a second battery or the larger 6.0Ah option keeps you going.

What warranty do Greenworks tools come with?

Greenworks tools carry a 2 year residential warranty on parts and labour. Rechargeable batteries are covered for 1 year. Consumable parts (blades, belts, filters, cables, batteries) and normal wear are not covered, nor is damage from improper handling, neglect, or unauthorised service. Non-transferable — keep your receipt, original purchaser only. Commercial customers — call us on 0800 800 880 to discuss coverage; we assess case-by-case under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Claims are handled by Trade Tested at 0800 800 880 or support@tradetested.co.nz.

How long do Greenworks batteries take to charge?

Charge times depend on battery size: a 2.0Ah battery charges in about 30-60 minutes, a 4.0Ah in about 60-90 minutes, and a 6.0Ah in about 90-120 minutes. The charger has LED indicators showing charge progress. Greenworks batteries have built-in overcharge protection — you can leave them on the charger safely. For best battery life, store at room temperature and avoid leaving batteries fully depleted for long periods.

Can I use Greenworks tools in the rain?

Greenworks battery tools are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions. Light moisture is generally fine, but avoid submerging the tool or battery in water. Store tools and batteries indoors in a dry location. The battery terminals and charger contacts should be kept dry and clean.

Who distributes Greenworks in New Zealand?

Trade Tested is the New Zealand distributor for Greenworks. All warranty claims, spare parts, and support are handled locally by Trade Tested — call 0800 800 880 or email support@tradetested.co.nz. Greenworks is manufactured by Globe Inc and is one of the world's largest battery-powered outdoor tool brands.

Are Greenworks ride-on mowers available in NZ?

Greenworks ride-on mower availability varies — contact Trade Tested at 0800 800 880 or support@tradetested.co.nz for current stock and pricing. Note that ride-on mowers use a different battery platform to the 24V and 40V ranges — batteries are not interchangeable between voltage tiers.

What's the best Greenworks lawn mower for a standard NZ section?

For a standard residential section (under 500m²), the 40V 460mm Brushless Lawnmower with 4.0Ah Kit is the most popular choice and one of the highest-reviewed Greenworks products. For smaller lawns or easy storage, the 24V 320mm Brushless Lawnmower is compact and lightweight. For larger properties, the 40V 460mm Self-Propelled model with a 6.0Ah battery reduces effort on slopes and longer sessions.

Perfect

Exactly as expected and did what I required of it. Having 2 batteries already, they lasted as long as I did. I pre-forked the ground first tho, as being a small machine its main function was breaking up the top layer and tilling in any regrowing weed seeds a week or two before planting.

Limited recommendation with caution

My rececently purchased machine had been poorly quality control checked. The metal shield between the motor and tines had either been wrongly fitted or was a design fault as the bottom lip prevented the tines from revolving. Rather return same I bend the guard upwards until the tines could revolve. The manual which I downloaded gave conflicting instructions regarding fitting the tines as they did not natch pictures that came packaged with the nachine. Having said that the machine appears to be working okay.

Works great, ideal for a domestic garden. Only downside is the rear support wheels could be wider and larger to make it easier to move around.

A great addition to our stable of these appliances, still using the original battery. Interesting time assembling the tiller by using the instructions. However, my wife is looking forward to digging the garden again. Not so easy as we get older.

Grunty little machine.

Light, relatively easy to handle and does what I want very well. I suspect it would not be good at turning over virgin ground but in my existing garden beds, it works very well.

This tiller is ideal for a small garden and works very well . Sadly, just over 4 weeks of use the battery is now dead. Tried charging it over 2 days and nights completely flat. Disappointed with the short lifespan.

Great tiller

This tiller is easy to operate and work with in small or larger gardens. It breaks the soil up finer than an ordinary rotary hoe.
