[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since I already have a 24V hedge trimmer I bought the string trimmer only for a good price. Assembly was ok except for (1) wasn't sure whether to remove the rubber thingies that evidently just kept the shaft from scraping when disassembled for shipping (you need to do this) and (2) sticking the shaft parts together required a little bit of effort (hint - I used rubber gloves to better grip). Once assembled, it's easy to use - starts easily, battery inserts great. I think it does a fair trimming job if you're not doing a wide swath. If you're doing a lot of trimming over a large area, maybe a larger size (this is 10" - bigger than my previous 9" trimmer that was 34 years old and had a cord). Not sure how long the battery lasts - I trimmed for about 20 minutes and it was still going strong.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great trimmer that has plenty of power and isn't hard on batteries. I like being able to swap battery with other tools and plan to build up my collection of the 24v system. I normally like gas powered equipment but there is no denying how easy it is to swap in a battery and go. Having more than one battery means I can have one on charge if needed and don't have to stop longer than a few seconds though I don't have to with this setup, just a little over half acre to trim and around buildings, garden with no issues on one small battery. Cuts normal grass with no effort and weeds don't slow it down much at all. It's also lighter weight than the old gas powered ones I had before so it saves my back a bit there.
