how is this mower on a slope?

Since it's so light, I had no trouble at all. I could actually use it with one hand pulling it up. Of course if you're walking diagonally, the handle, if too much pressure is applied, will turn and if too much grass builds up on it, the mower deck might slip off, but is easily put back on. Keep in mind this is a string trimmer with a small mower deck, not an actual blade mower.

That is why I wanted it to mow a slope, and it did what I needed. It's very light weight and will take a while to accomplish your goal,but you don't have to bend over as much due to the wheels. In other words it's a weedeater with wheels.

I got because of worry over steep frontage. Deck is very light weight, but sturdy. It works perfect for me where too steep for riding mower. Comes with extra battery and 1 did frontage (260' x 10') easily. Recharges in 4 hrs. I got extra spools of line, but haven't needed to switch as yet.

Read the owners manual. These mowers have limits on the grade. It could be dangerous to exceed the grade which could cause a rollover. If you are within the grade guidelines, I would suggest a low gear and mow directly up the slope. Be careful.

I have several wide steps to go up and down from the porch to the sidewalk. I can lift it enough to do that. It may help that the steps are wide. (I'm 66). I really love the lightness of the mower.

It's not too bad. There is a little metal guide on the edger that rides along the curb that keeps it in-line. I had some problems with mine the first time I edged my lawn since the sod had overtaken a couple inches of the sidewalk. I just had to go slower and estimate where the curb was. Sometimes i estimated badly and other times it was fine :)

I have this one and my yard is not level. I haven't had any issues with it.

it is very easy to turn. it is rear wheel drive so it goes up inclines. I take the battery out and keep it stored fully charged. all four wheels simultaneously raise and lower to any height. I already very easily detached blade and sharpened it. after done mowing, remove battery and then you can easily store on end and clean it by spraying it off and then it also saves space. it is self-propelled and also you can engage clutch to move mower without cutting if you want. battery charges quickly and has a gauge to show you how much you are charged, full half less than half etc by easily pushing indicator button on top of mower. it is an awesome mower.

My backyard has a hill with a 30 degree slope across the entire width, and I haven't had any problems with the walking sprinkler. Just make sure you set up the hose track properly to minimize sharp turns. This sprinkler has some nice weight to it and is able to get enough traction to manage ups and downs.

No, it's not self-propelled, but it is really light and I've never had a problem mowing my front lawn, which is about a 25-30 degree angle.

We continue to be very happy with this mower now in our third season with it. Although it is not as heavy and rugged as a gas mower we treat it kindly by going over ruts or uneven surfaces slowly. The lightness of it as mentioned before does make it easier to maneuver. Someone has mentioned issues with the back flap; I have slid a coat hanger through it so that the hanger protrudes out of both ends of the flap. Then I curled those ends and placed them so that it holds the flap, keeping it from going under the mower while the mower is being pulled backwards. I would definitely purchase another one if I needed to. We continue to be very happy with this mower now in our third season with it.

Yes. I would advise you not to buy this mower. It is very light in the front and has flipped backwards on me twice going up a medium grade.

I have used it on some steep inclines with success, but not on a steep hill, so I can't say for sure. Just bear in mind that this isn't a heavy duty lawn mower. It is primarily an environmentally friendly lawn mower.

I don't have any issues as long as the grass isn't wet which will make the rear wheels slip. Be careful of a rollover if the slope gets too steep.

I bought this for my grandkids and it is in a part of their paved drive. I can't imagine it on a slope, but I can't answer for sure. Sorry.

Not too bad to walk behind but you want to be good at cutting regularly. If grass is too thick you need to push a bit to het through the cut. Good mower none the less.

My yard is fairly flat and i'm not sure how you would define bumpy, but the mower seems to handle unevenness pretty well. There are a few depressions in the yard and it handles them fine. I would think you would be o.k. unless the yard was so 'bumpy' it looked like a washboard.i.e. if the 'bumps are spaced at least as far apart as the length between the front and rear wheels you shouldn't have any problems. But again, i don't really have experience with a lot of unevenness.

I have Bermuda grass on a small and fairly level lot. It is no problem for me to push the mower and maneuver around flower beds, etc. Adjusting the mower height was a little tricky at first, but once I understood the concept of adjusting cutting height, that was no problem either. Two cutting height adjustments: one moves in fairly large increments the other "fine tunes" the adjustment. I have had this mower just one cutting season, but I expect it will last many years. I like it a lot. Good exercise for me and it gives a nice smooth cut for the lawn.

Barbara, This lawn mower is not self-propelled. However, I don't have any problems with it doing my yard. It is kind of difficult to answer your question as I don't know what your physical capabilities are. This is definitely the lighter of the two larger models of GreenWorks mowers and it works great. I would say if the slope was not too great in your yard there shouldn't be a problem. I hope this was of some help. Nancy Winslow
