I'm never going back to gas. The works every time I need it and no maintenance but refilling the string. Batteries last long enough for me to cut about 1/4 acre non stop as long as I don't let the grass get too long. Very happy with the purchase.
Saw the 1 battery products used on his Old House and they were just what I'was waiting 4 - . Products that actually worked had power and interchangeable batteries. I was tired of having so many batteries to keep up with and store thank you Green Works I had previously used other products from Greenworks however oh, these lightweight One battery powerful tools make my yard work a lot efficient and easier and they make life easier and that's what it's all about. Now my service dog Sister Mary Louise and I have more play time
This tool was great I am very happy with the performance so far. I have used it twice but I appreciate the fact that I can expect it to start every time. The question is how long will it last we'll see.
The weight of this is perfect! The batteries last a good 35-40 minutes on a full charge and recharge quickly, so if they do run down, you're up and running again after a rest break. I'm taller, so I had to move the handle lower for better balance and to use on my hills, but that's a personal preference.
