I find it too long to be comfortable holding, I'm 5'8".

Hello Asdfghjkl,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your purchase fell below expectations While the shaft’s length is not adjustable, you can set the position of the handle as you like to achieve the right balance (you just loosen the screw and slide it up or down). And it is comfortable even for tall people!

I'm on my second trimmer in 2 years and I hate it. The bump feed probably lasted 30 minutes. The battery is a pain to get in and out of the trimmer.
I guess the 30 minutes was 3 times as long as the 40v hedge cutter lasted .
My mower is on its second card which only took a month to replace (before covid) the repair place told me I got the last one in the region and all the others, since their cards go out a lot, were looking at 5 months to get their cards replaced.
Seriously, stay away from this company.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have used this one time. It is awesome. My son "borrowed" my original greenworks trimmer (about a year old) so I purchased a new one for me. The first one was great. This new one seems to be more powerful, not that I needed more power. Gets the job done quickly. I have yet to run the battery all the way down, so plenty of juice for my typical residential yard. I love this thing. Next will be a leaf blower.
A great residential string trimmer with good balance and run time. Adding trimmer line is simple with the new “Load and Go” system this Greenworks uses.
I love this trimmer. It is simple and convenient and works every time. I always had problems with my gas trimmer so I rarely used it. I use this one every week. I love the fact that it is 16" and uses .095 line. The 2.5amp battery is ok, but for my size yard, I use my 6amp battery and I never run out of juice. It is a bit heavy but not much more than my gas trimmer.
