The tool is very easy to use, lighter than a gas trimmer, and as powerful. Unfortunately the 2Ah battery last only 25 minutes... Which makes it a nice tool but not perfect. Can’t wait for the 5Ah battery.
I've been using this trimmer for 3 years. I bought it primarily to save the time and hassle of using 150' of extension cord to trim my parents property. Dragging the cord around and re-routing it several times, it took just over an hour to trim everything. With this 80v Greenworks trimmer the time was reduced to about 35 minutes and I get it done with a single charge on the 2AH battery. The power is more than sufficient. Besides the usual trimming, I also use it to knock back ivy vines and other tougher plants with no issue. It's well balanced and the bump feed works well. The only shortcoming I have found is that the shield/deflector should be about twice as wide as it is(based on experience with others). My legs get covered with the clippings. So no shorts when trimming but otherwise it's been a pleasure to use and a great timesaver.
Some times I think "well", & then I just don't know. They say their good, & I find out, they have no idea of what is a good tool. I depend on all my tools working & when they don't then I can't. I guess I can give them all to some kid to play with. But it would make him mad when they don't work.
Brought this product less than a month ago!! variable speed, most powerful cordless/brushless drill in the market (24 Volt), with dual batteries/charger, and durable carrying case!! Love it and have mention the Greenworks to co workers, craftsman, and weekend fixer uppers what a wonderful product!
Very happy with this. I'd already been using Greenworks products (lawnmower, trimmer/edger) and liked them a lot. I needed a new drill so I bought this one, in part because it uses the same battery as the trimmer/edger. Solid construction, quiet, and powerful.
