Have had it for 2 years now and except for replacement parts has worked like a champ. Loads easy and battery charges quickly. finding replacement parts would be easier if they were stocked in Big box stores but i was able to find them online and order them as needed.
I bought this weed eater about three years ago, I got tired of mixing fuel and every time i got the gas weed eater out to use, it was a challenge to get it running and not vapor lock. Now with this weed eater it is no problem run work great and is as powerful as the gas powered one I have. Since getting this, I got a 60v leaf blower, and a 40v self propelled lawn mower, and a 40v pole tree trimmer. They all work very well and I tell everyone to get these battery powered lawn equipment and how great it is
Great trimmer so far. I didn't have a lot of opportunity to use it but I found it effective, easy to use and powerful. The battery seems to last a long time as well. I used it for 20 minutes straight to trim some small branches and bushes (not grass) and the battery is only down 1 bar. I'm happy with my purchase.
IT’s very quiet, the quietes greenworks tool. Very well balanced. Load N’ Go trimmer head only loads on one side of the thread if you use .090 line I haven’t tried .080. Also it’s kind of awkward to bump more line since you’ll over cut the grass on the spot.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Mani,
Thank you for the review! We are happy to see you are enjoying the string trimmer. While the unit is spinning, gently tap the bottom of the unit (knob) on the ground and the string trimmer will release approximately ¼ inch of line each time you tap it. The more often you do this the more line will be released. Hope this helps!
I have a 1\4 acre with privacy fence and many other lines to weedeat around and battery last for 3 consecutive times. The 60 volt is just as strong as a gas power.
Too heavy and string runs out too quickly. Not good for use as an edger.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Wags,
We are terribly sorry to hear about this experience. We strive to provide a quality product and a great customer service encounter. It's normal for the cutting line to wear down as you use it, but the trimmer line can wear faster than you expect if you're cutting tough or thick weeds, if you're cutting against hard surfaces such as rocks and walls, or if the line is spinning too fast. To preserve cutting line when cutting thick weeds or against hard surfaces, don't crowd the trimmer head into the area you're cutting. Instead, slide the cutting head slowly toward the cutting area so you use the tip of the cutting line. And ease off on the throttle to properly control the speed of the cutting head, especially when cutting against hard surfaces. We would be interested in hearing more about this issue.
