Winnowl Verdict

We just finished the audit on the Greenworks STBA40B421 Battery Powered Push Lawn Mower and it landed a MEDIOCRE (66) Winnowl Index, which is a score that unfortunately reflects more "brand" than "benefit" when you compare the high price to the average specs. This one hits the Average Performance and Weak Value marks, but because it's from a brand with Strong Brand Strength, you have to decide if the reputation is worth the extra cost. With the Greenworks STBA40B421 Battery Powered Push Lawn Mower (16-Inch, 40V, Blower and Trimmer Combo Kit), you'll likely notice you should be able to easily adjust the deck to a healthy height for most common residential turf types since the Cutting Height Adjustment is only 5 settings—that's actually 21% below what we usually see from the competition. You might want to do a hard pivot from this Brand Tax product because the 56% higher price tag results in 33% less hardware for your dollar than the class average—there are definitely better ways to spend your money.

In its class, this product's performance is 5% above the average and earns an Average Performance rating. It’s a bit of a mixed bag: the Total Run Time indicates you should be able to manage a typical quarter-acre property on a single charge if the grass is dry and maintained, but you may find that the 5 settings Cutting Height Adjustment means that you should be able to easily adjust the deck to a healthy height for most common residential turf types—so just make sure that's a trade-off you're okay with.
