This trimmer has surprised me with the amount of power it has. Much better than the blue competition. The batter could last a little longer but i have 2 so if need be just switch them. Overall impressed
Works well, cuts great. Much less string breaks than other trimmers I’ve owned. But a bit of the heavy side.

I’ve had my green works string trimmer now for a few months and at first it worked fantastic but as of now 6/2021, the battery will not stay locked in the battery slot. It runs for a few seconds and then the battery pops out and shuts it off. Seems a little cheap because it’s only a few months old.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's okay, I purchased to replace a 13" 60v Greenworks on which the motor bearings froze. I would give that one five stars, this one is ergonomically inferior, the debris shield is inferior to any string trimmer I've used and it doesn't have an edge guide or a option for an edge guide. The one I received also had wierdly used looking components even though the box was sealed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear that your purchase fell below expectations and would like to hear more about your experience to see how we can do better in the future. Please give our Customer Care team a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). Thank you for your feedback!
Seems to work OK with supplied string trimmer attachment - however, it DOES NOT WORK with my attachments. I have a Ryobi edger, hedge trimmer and other attachments - this unit DOES NOT work with them as described in Q&A about this unit. I am very disappointed, since this is why I selected this unit. I would like to return - guess I will have to purchase a replacement gas engine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have several Greenworks tools and bought this to replace my 8 year old gas trimmer. While I've only used this a couple of times, I have zero regrets so far!
Pro's: Powerful! This doesn't bog down like my gas trimmer did, especially when using the edger attachment. Lightweight. This is lighter than my gas trimmer and I like the included shoulder strap. Attachment capable. I am able to use the same edger attachment that I used with my gas trimmer. This is a money saver. As mentioned already, I think this motor works much better than my gas one. Quiet. I didn't expect it to be so quiet honestly. It's a littler weird, but in a good way. No smell! This may seem odd, but using my gas trimmer for only a minute causes an "exhaust" smell to cling to my clothes. This is one reason I switched over to a greenworks gas blower; now I don't have to smell the fumes on my trimmer either! Battery Life: I have a 2.5 Ah battery and I was able to trim and edge my yard with no problem.
