I am a huge fan of Greenworks products. However, the string seems to have lasted through only two trimmings. My thought is I’ve had to edge quite a bit, and with the tough Florida weeds/grass, that might be the problem. The battery has not come close to dying with with usage. No gas, or oil is the absolute best for our Earth!
It’s very lightweight and easy to carry while trimming. It got the job done for our small yard but took much longer than I expected, yet the battery never ran low.
it is a great edger / trimmer , but the one we received had issue with the auto spool dispenser , so had to return . The trimmer is lightweight and easy to use . It uses single battery and charges. pretty quick .
I got this trimmer as a deal with my GW mower. The convenience and freedom of going cordless was very appealing. However, from the time of its very first use, this piece of crap has been nothing but frustrating. No matter how many times you bump the spool (pro tip...DO NOT BUY A BUMP TRIMMER!) the dual lines constantly end up retreating inside the trimmer causing you to have to constantly stop, open up the spool, and reset them, only to have it happen again minutes later. I have read and re-read the manual, watched countless videos, and attempted to fix this thing numerous times to no avail. Bottom line...it's JUNK, plain and simple.

Hello there,
We're sorry you're having issues with the line feed on your GreenWorks string trimmer. If the line keeps retreating back into the spool housing this may indicate the line is snapping at long lengths and the spool has been wound the wrong way.
First, always have the guard on the unit. There's a blade on the guard that helps to maintain the length of the line. Second, ensure you do not leave any line on the notches. The notches are design for storage and will prevent line feed if the line is not released from the notches. Third, check and ensure you are winding both lines the correct way.
Hope this helps!

Lightweight and easy to handle, I tend to use this more frequently than my 80V full sized string trimmer. While understandably less powerful than its counterpart, it's enough to get most trimming around the house done.
I recently bought this string trimmer to replace an electric one I had previously been using. This Greenworks one is a dream! Lightweight and easy to use and gets the job done. I am a 5'2 female and LOVE how lightweight this is! and adjustable for different users! Highly recommended!
