I've been using a battery-powered string trimmer for years but it took 3 batteries just to trim the yard and it wasn't very powerful. I don't have the upper body strength to start a gas-powered one so my Google search turned up Greenworks in several reviews. I read in one reiew the battery will last around 45 minutes and I know that would be enough. I also liked the idea this model would fit other tools. I did have some concerns about the length since I'm only 5' tall, but I was able to adjust the handle to make it easier for me to use. There is an adjustment period for me since the battery is in a different position than other trimmers I've used so I have to get used to the weight being high. I'm not crazy about having to wind the string myself compared with a drop-in spool but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Also have to get used to the bump it to advance the string. It's incredibly quiet, too. Overall, it's definitely more powerful than other brands I've used. I'm very pleased with my purchase and I'm sure it will provide me many years of trimming.

Lighter than original, Load N' Go is amazing!

I have been a longtime Greenworks user, and this tool does not disappoint. There are a lot of great features (lighter than original 60v trimmer, commercial grade trim line capable [.095"], but the Load N' Go is the best. No more tangled string that is difficult to respool at the end of a day of yard work. Just measure the string (15 feet), feed it into the spool, and crank the knob to load it up. Amazing product that improves on something that was already great.

My first battery string trimmer

I bought this string trimmer in November 2018, still working great. I've been using it and two of my neighbors/family have also been using it and I have had no problems and battery life is still great after two seasons of use. I was tired of always have to mix the fuel for my gas weed-eater, pulling and pulling on the starter rope over and over till I finally got it to start and then it would vapor lock when I stopped it. I get done with my weed-eating and edging so much faster now and it's a great [product.

Trimmer

Just bought this trimmer because I didn't want to bother with a gas one. I got tired of lugging my cord around the property to trim. I have to say I am impressed with the performance. It does what it says it does. My only negative is the run time. I have an acre of land and it last just enough to trim the large front yard. I think that I would benefit from having a higher Amp battery. Will consider buying a back up battery to finish the rest of the acre. Overall, I do recommend this trimmer

I grew up using a gas powered string trimmer, and this electric one is much easier to use. I already had the 60v mower with a battery, so I was happy to order this compatible string trimmer. I’ve only used it a couple times, but everything seems to be working well.

This trimmer is very easy to use, it’s powerful and runs for more than enough time for trimming my yard. It seems to be well made and it looks like the string will be very easy to reload. It’s a bit on the heavy side but is well balanced. I had a trimmer that had a shoulder strap to take a bit of the weight and I’m going to try and make something similar for my new Greenworks trimmer.
