I have several of the 60 volt lawn tools and they all are impressive. This trimmer is powerful, but the speed can be controlled easily. Very comparable to any high end gas trimmer.
Trimmer and Blower have plenty of power for my needs. Trimmer has decent usage on the included battery, but blower drains it quicker. The battery charges up in a decent time with the included charger.
Got this a few weeks ago, have used it threes times and still on initial charge. The shoulder strap takes the weight off of your arms.The bump feed works great, and the best feature is you release the trigger to turn it off between places you are trimming around, unlike gas trimmers that run constantly. This saves on battery run time too.
The leaf blower is great. It’s light, compact and my 7 and 9 year old love to use it as well as me. It’s strong enough to blow old piles of leaves.
The weed wacker gave me some trouble, but working with Greenworks support was simple, the wait wasn’t too long and the path to resolution was methodical without being scripted.
The tool itself seems to be of good quality. the battery lasts an appropriate amount of time and there is enough power to cut through St Augustine and some pasture type native Bermuda, so pleased with that part. The reason for only 3 stars is due to the fact Greenworks does not make a replacement string cartridge. To replace the string I have to buy string and wind it myself. It is a process that takes more time than I really wanted to spend with my trimmer being unproductive. In all the sales portion of the trimmer, Greenworks never mentions this tidbit of info. Had I known, I would not have bought this particular product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
