Battery won’t charge

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Hello,

I bought a Greenworks drill and two battery set from Home Depot a while ago. One battery works okay but the other is completely dead and wont charge at all.

I only noticed this when I went to change out the battery, even though I had the battery on charge for at least 4 hours, the battery did not charge and when pressed, the button for checking the battery strength does not indicate any green bars.

What can I do to get this battery repaired/replaced? Home Depot referred me to contact Greenworks direct with this issue.

I look forward to your response and direction.

Respectfully

You need to have receipt for proof of purchase but Greenworks warranties the battery for four years. You need to contact them.

Held on the phone for quite a while. Rep. Thought the pump was part of the engine of the Presure Washer and was about to hang up but I told her the engine was fine, I just needed a pump. After holding for a long time, I had to just hang up because I had a customer come into my business. Still dont have a pump for my 2700 psi Greenworks Pro (GPW2700)

Pressure Washer Failure

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
On July 11th 2023 I purchased a pressure washer off Amazon, model number GPW3001 and serial number is 103230****004347. Today, January 26th 2024 it has failed after fewer than 10 uses. I would like to have this one exchanged for a working unit please. This washer worked well for the short time it was functioning but had total failure after only a few uses. I was washing my side by side when all pressure was lost and the washer was smoking.

Return and refund policies

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I just bought, directly from the company Greenworks, a cordless snow shovel 80V with charger and battery. Because I am not satisfied with this product, few days later, Ive tried to return it by Purolator as I received the product from Purolator.

Oh surprise, it is IMPOSSIBLE.. because of the LITHIUM BATTERY as described on the original box which is considered as a DANGEROUS product. Wow. This company should at least mention on their website that a big lithium battery cannot be returned because it is such a big issue or, at least, give more information about it.

Of course, I called them and they only told me to remove the battery from the box, return the product with the charger and keep the battery. The problem is, even without the battery that I dont need, I dont want and have to sell later, I have to pay around 100$ for shipping this big box in Ontario (from Quebec) with Purolator + 10% to be charged by Greenworks for handling and restocking fee as mentioned of their website. It doesnt make sense to let the customer pay all those incredible charges with so confused and missing information when we order.

This is a really bad - first and last - experience with this company who doesnt care about customer service. I strongly suggest to buy from a local store where you can easily return the product without any charges like this.

Love the products, hate the customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I love the products, I've had a blower, chainsaw, and pressure washer. I was in the market for a mower and trimmer and bought both online.

However, after the purchase, I realized I ordered the wrong mower. I immediately within minutes wrote an email to cancel the order stating the mistake then called the next morning to verify the order was cancelled. Despite an email and multiple phone calls, the order still shipped and now I am still without a mower and am battling my through my credit card company to resolve.

Products are great, customer service is horrible!!! Went from being a loyal customer to hating your company!!!

Return policies

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I bought a refurbished battery for a family member last week. Found out they no longer had the tool so wanted to return the unopened package I just received. When I called to arrange a return I was told all refurbished sales are final so no returns. Im out $80 and they just laugh. I am suppose to have a 90 day warranty so how does that work if they do not refund? I said I would pay a 50 percent restocking fee just so I could get some payment back. No go. This is crap.

40V 24322 leaf blower

So I bought a new battery with 7 Amps and I pushed the new battery and about 40 to 90 seconds, it stops and then I turn on again and then it stops after 40 to 90 seconds and then again I turn on. So it keeps stopping with 40 to 90 seconds. I put in new battery too. Both batteries do not go over 90 seconds and both batteries are fully charged. So how do I make this to work for 15 minutes

bought new battery with 7 Amps and it shuts off within 40 to 90 seconds. It has been over 3.5 years. Now it stops after 40 to 90 seconds and then I turn on again and then again it stops after 40 to 90 seconds.

Total scam policy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Greenworks Tools - Total scam policy

TOTAL SCAM RETURN POLICY AND PRODUCT DISCRIPTION

Terrible return policy, Can return order after 50 min of placing the order, by tracking the order status online it said order not fulfilled or shipped yet ( It's just 50 min ) !!! Customer service said we can not help you.

then the only option is to receive the item then return it , and the shipping cost will be on me , they also are NOT able to provide me with how much it will cost to ship it back to them !!! the reason why I requested to return the item as they mis-discriped the item on the HeadTitle, did not specify if the mower is self propelled or Push, then by digging deep in the manual after looking around , found its PUSH and not self propelled. although similar models are well described. it seems they intentionally trying to mislead you and deceive you with their return policy.

TOTAL SCAM. VERY VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

And eventually they refused to post this review on their website

Ordered a pole hedge trimmer from Amazon waited a month never got it. Reordered it showed up but didn't work. Didn't want to go through all the BS again so I found the black power wire broke in the head at the pivot joint and damaged red power wire. I repaired it better than the idiot that assembled it. Sound like you have some major quality issues. I took photos of the damaged wires.

No replacement parts available

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased a greenworks weed whacker and leaf blower combo for $229 in July 2021. The weed whacker head is extremely poor design and quit working soon after

purchase.

I have called and reached out several times for help with ordering a replacement head part. Greenworks says they aren't making the part anymore and to check Lowes but use Kobalt as the brand as they manufacture for them as well. That part is also not available so I am stuck with a weed whacker that is no longer working. Why sell a

product and not have replacement parts available?

There are newer models out with similar parts so why can this not be resolved? I have viewed many other consumer complaints with the same problem.

I do not believe this is a fair practice. My model is ST60B02 and the SN:GWZ329****.

I have been trying over year to get help from customers service with no help!! I was told if I bought a cover it would work. That did not happen. I have not figured out the number of times one must call to get help, I have called over 29 times with no help. Now I know why they have F rating with BBB!
