While it's running, the unit does a good job of powering through common weed and grasss chores. However, once you run out of line, you have to remove the spool from the bump mechanism and head and they only provide a fully filled replacement spool. It's not as simple as most of the other trimmers out there, which allow you to respool while the cartridge is still attached. This one is borderline infuriating. Hopefully Greenworks will put this dinosaur out to pasture and get with the times. String changes or adds shouldn't require more than 5 seconds, no aligning and holding stuff together like a contortionist.

Hello Xyrium,
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the performance of this string trimmer! We have a variety of string trimmer heads, all newer models come with our Load n' Go head which does not have to be removed for rewinding. Unfortunately, we do regret to inform you that older models cannot be updated to this style of the head though. Should you ever require assistance with reloading the current spool, please feel welcome to contact us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS), and our team would be happy to walk you through this!
Currently I have 4 different Greenworks products. I continue to be impressed by the quality of there products and I love having several tools that can interchange batteries. You get the benefits of having extra batteries without having to get them. If that makes sense lol! Both the drill and the impact driver exceed my expectations. Great job by Greenworks in making quality products.
This tool is exactly as described and super powerful. I did not have any issues duing use. Changing the string is easy, there is no need to I take cover off.
In contrast to other tools from this company this does not do the job
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
