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.

Underwhelming

Came free with my 80v mower purchase and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Overall the build quality is good but the head design is such that you really have to angle the machine over to get a nice low cut and usually end up gouging the grass. Our other line trimmers have a much lower profile line exit hole so you can keep the machine level but get a closer cut.

Line trimmer

I got this as a free extra when I purchased the 80V mower. I like it. It is light and works well. I am much more inclined to do the weed-eating with this machine rather than getting out my heavier Stihl brushcutter. It is convenient to be able to do just a little or a lot when you have the time rather than having the hassle of petrol going stale in my other machine or the hassle of refilling it.

Power!

An amazing unit and glad I've upgraded my lawncare to the Greenworks eco system. I can edge with this and the bump feed is easy. Not too heavy and comes with a shoulder strap to take the strain off if needed.

My Gardening Hero and Ryobi's Nightmare

So there I was, knee-deep in grass, wielding my trusty collection of Ryobi trimmers like an underdog superhero armed with a plastic sword. Little did I know that a green machine, specifically the Greenworks 80V Trimmer, was about to flex its leafy muscles and turn my trimmer tale from mediocre to miraculous. Lets set the scene. I had my three Ryobi trimmers lined up, ready to battle what most would call an overgrown yard but what I like to refer to as the Amazon rainforest in my backyard. Armed with limited battery life and something resembling gladiatorial spirit, I took the first trimmer for a spin. Despite my enthusiasm, I quickly discovered that trim was more of a suggestion than an action. It only took one disgruntled weed to rise up defiantly, and I surrendered. Enter the Greenworks 80V Trimmer. With its sleek design and devil-may-care attitude, it promised more than just cutting grassit was practically begging for a duel with Mother Nature herself. The first time I cranked it up, I felt a surge of power. In fact, I was practically the Hercules of horticulture. Now, a quick reminder that Im a mere mortal attempting to match wits with a lush jungle. The Greenworks didnt just chew through weeds; it annihilated them. It tackled everything in its path: tall grasses, stubborn weeds, and even the occasional random tangle that dared to stand in its way. I mean, this thing was LANDEDand I do mean landed, like an alien spaceship in a sci-fi flick, ready to conquer the world one weed at a time. However, lets not pretend that this trimmer is all sunshine and rainbows. While it handled every green adversary with the grace of a forest fairy, I did notice a little quirk: its got a bit of a hefty posterior. The rear weight distribution makes it feel, at times, like Im trying to maneuver a particularly stubborn toddler rather than a trimming machine. If youre running a marathon-sized yard, you might just end up wishing for a personal assistant to help lug this beast around. For those of usnot-so-intrepid weekend warriorswho tend to overestimate our fitness levels, the rear-heavy design might pose a heart rate-raising challenge during a long brush cutting session (though Im sure even professional lumberjacks have to admit its a workout). My advice? Schedule a breakor twoafter every round of tormenting those invasive green foes. In conclusion, my STIHL FS 45c? Shes officially retired, perhaps sipping piña coladas in the shed, reminiscing about her glory days while the Greenworks 80V Trimmer takes center stage. The Ryobis? Well, lets just say they now serve as delightful conversation pieces during barbeques"Oh, remember that time they tried to take on the jungle? Ha!" So, if youre looking for a trimmer that can gut weeds with the zeal of a sunny afternoons enthusiasm, I humbly suggest you hop on the Greenworks bandwagon. You might just find that this green machine has what it takes to retire your old counterparts, just like it did for me. Just remember, take an occasional breather; youll need it!
