Good performance, horrible restring process

While it's running, the unit does a good job of powering through common weed and grasss chores. However, once you run out of line, you have to remove the spool from the bump mechanism and head and they only provide a fully filled replacement spool. It's not as simple as most of the other trimmers out there, which allow you to respool while the cartridge is still attached. This one is borderline infuriating. Hopefully Greenworks will put this dinosaur out to pasture and get with the times. String changes or adds shouldn't require more than 5 seconds, no aligning and holding stuff together like a contortionist.

Hello Xyrium,
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the performance of this string trimmer! We have a variety of string trimmer heads, all newer models come with our Load n' Go head which does not have to be removed for rewinding. Unfortunately, we do regret to inform you that older models cannot be updated to this style of the head though. Should you ever require assistance with reloading the current spool, please feel welcome to contact us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS), and our team would be happy to walk you through this!
This tool is exactly as described and super powerful. I did not have any issues duing use. Changing the string is easy, there is no need to I take cover off.
Wonderful addition to my toolkit. I've used it to drill holes in small granite blocks and it performs great. Using the hammer drill setting made the project go swiftly and I had plenty of power to get the job done.
I love this Greenworks pro 80v and it has cut like a champ. Living California where you have cut with a weed trimmer for fire control it gets the job done like my next gas one. No smell of gas it’s quick simple charge to get it up and running instead running to the gas station with prices like these now. It’s a life saver and I would recommend this product. All my products are Greenworks you get hook and buy more.
80v Trimmer - ran longer than me, but no trigger lock

I had a 4 AH battery from our lawn mower charged and ready to go, so put the trimmer together and put it to work. I was a little dismayed that after 1 hour on 14" setting and lower speed the trimmer was still going strong, and I was getting tired. I increased the speed to setting '2', hoping to run the battery down. At 1.5 hours the trimmer was still going, and I had to put it away. My biggest complaint is I could not find a trigger lock setting. I definitely would like to have been able to relax the trigger grip - that is the primary reason I had to give up.
In order to operate this tool, you need to hold two buttons at the same time(as is the same with all trimmers of different brands), but one of the bottons is sort of aiming sideways, and the other is uncomfortably offset. I have long fingers and big hands and its still uncomfortable for me to hold both buttons down at the same time. If not for this design oddity, I would give it 5 stars. I wish the buttons would be aligned better!
