I first have to say how pleased I have been since placing my order in June. I was very surprised when my order arrived in just 2 days. I was able to have everything put together and outside working in 1 hour max. I have used both products several times since buying and I'm very pleased with the power, weight and performance of both items.
After having another brand of trimmer go on the blink, I decided to try the 60V cordless. It has been a pleasure to use. Slightly heavier than my previous trimmer, but the extra weight helps in the balancing and handling of the trimmer. Quality and performance are excellent. It does everything I could ask and more.
Very easy to assemble and get started. The trimmer does a great job and I’m able to trim my yard (1/4 acre) with the battery on one charge. My only complaint is that it seems to spit grass pretty hard if I’m turned one direction. Just have to remember which way that is. The blower works well for smaller/light jobs. Easily blows grass from the driveway or small debris from the yard. Haven’t been able to use yet for when the pine needles drop. All in all a great purchase.
This trimmer deserves more than 5 stars. I was a little hesitant about the power of a battery operated trimmer, but let me say, this has all the power I need and I sometimes have some tough weeds to cut , but they are no problem at all for this trimmer. Thank you Greenworks!! I no longer have to try to get a gas trimmer started or mix fuel. Just grab it and go. I also thought it might be really heavy, but I’m a 70 year old lady and it works well for me.
I just bought this along with a ryobi expand-it brush cutter attachment, since there is a comment below from Greenworks that the expand-it line is compatible as an attachment. After I connect the ryobi brush cutter attachment and turn on the power, it turns once and then stops. I'm not very happy about this.

The line will break or jam after about 15 feet of use. Have tried various solutions, to no avail. I have used corded trimmers for many years with few issues and thought this Pro 60V would be more convenient. It isn't. For me, a complete waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Bill of New Jersey,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are having this issue. The cord should only be breaking at the tip where the cut-off blade on the guard is. If the trimmer line is breaking in the middle, often this is due to the trimmer being used incorrectly. It is advised to only trim with the tip of the line, avoid stones, walls, and other hard objects. If you are using the side of the line and not the tip to trim, this will cause premature breakage. You may also try rewinding your line with a different trimmer string! There are a variety of string types suitable for a wide array of applications.
