We bought this Black Friday of 2020.. really wanted to love it but the batteries don’t last very long and the mower is not that strong. The tools themselves are okay, nothing amazing but they work. However, we have a relatively SMALL yard and my husband has to mow the front and back on separate days because the batteries don’t last long enough. Huge disappointment
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your honest opinion and are sorry that you were not completely satisfied with this set. It's important to adjust your mowing techniques to make the most out of the battery life! It goes without saying that that the harder the unit works, the quicker the battery drains. Here are a few mowing tips! 1) When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings. 2) Only mow 1/3 of the total grass length at a time - no more. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. 3) Mow when the grass is dry. As this is an electric unit, mowing wet/damp grass is a safety issue. However, ensuring the grass is dry will also help the grass cut cleanly and discharge appropriately. Wet/damp grass carries more weight and will mostly stick to the blade/motor shaft and will not appropriately discharge or cut easily. 4) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. We hope these tips will help!

It works well but I have to admit it takes skill to cut along an edge of lawn to create a straight edge line. Cuts the edges of lawn well. Easy to start up. One battery works with all devices we purchased and that is really nice!
This is my first venture into a battery powered weed trimmer. I couldn’t have gotten a better product I love it . I also own the corded lawnmower and weed trimmer. Green works is a company that makes awesome electric devices.I am and will be a customer for life .
My previous edger was an old fashioned manual type that wore you out. My old trimmer's battery had to be recharged 2-3 times in order to complete the job. This battery not only is strong enough to complete the entire job, but it appears to have as much power at the end of the job as it did when I started. This tool allows me to rotate the trimmer for perfect edging along my driveway and sidewalk which makes life easier. Having one tool that does both jobs saves space in my garage too.
The weedwacker came damaged and to try and get support on the phone has taken 150 minutes minimum each time! Have called twice. Still no resolution.
