[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stringer is heavy to pack around and the battery doesn’t last to do my small yard!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Steven Beckvar. Thank you for sharing your experience. String trimmers are high-power string trimmers that can consume battery life quickly, especially when used for extended periods or when dealing with thick vegetation, but runtime can vary depending on the battery capacity and the trimmers’ setting. The trimmers’ variable speed controls allow you to adjust the power for different cutting conditions and potentially extend battery life. As each users’ capabilities differ, the use of a strap helps even out the weight. Greenworks sells exoFLEX Shoulder Straps designed to support the weight of leaf blowers and string trimmers without limiting mobility. We hope these tips provide better user experience. If you ever have specific questions or concerns about our products, contact Greenworks via Live chat on our website (www.greenworkstools.com), call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or refer to the FAQ ask section of the tool or ask us a question, anytime.
Works great! Can use twice before charging battery!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1st of several Greenworks Products i have bought! Works amazing! No hassle with mixing fuel is my favorite! Battery lasts great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is 2nd string trimmer purchase, first was long lasting,head little hard to. Load but this new model very simple to load works great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second one I have purchased. Love the easy starting and it has good power. The 4.0 amp hour battery is definitely a huge benefit. However, the 2.5 amp hour is good for most small to medium sized yards. Saves on gas and very little maintenance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is working great so far. We have a fairly large yard and the entire backyard is fenced. I was concerned about having to re-charge in the middle of the chore but it had plenty of power... Only dropped one of the three green bars... Maybe the second by the end. Went hundreds of feet and powered through the grass and weeds (along with volunteer trees). Plenty of power.
I did place the secondary handle lower than the directions suggest as that seemed to help with weight distribution better. This is so much bet than the old gas trimmer.. and my hands and arms were not shaking when I finished (so much LESS vibration).
