This is my 3rd tool from Greenworks (leaf blower and hedge trimmer) The string trimmer is the right height, powerful, and quiet! The string bounce feeder is flawless. I couldn't be more pleased with Greeworks products. My next WILL be the 25" lawnmower! Hope this help your decision!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Randy in OK
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad to read that overall, you have been enjoying this string trimmer. We pride ourselves on creating long lasting tools that have great use and function. We'd love to share some tips to store the battery when not in use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place. Following these steps will ensure you receive the most of the battery life. If it ends up that you are having an issue with the string trimmer or wondering what lawn mower would best suit your needs, please contact Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.and we would be happy to assist you.

So, I received this version of the trimmer when I called asking about my 13-inch trimmer that stopped working. Amazingly, customer service was able to find my purchase information and replaced it just like that. Received it less than a week later!
Anyway, it's easy enough to set up. They give you the Alan Wrench to tighten everything up. Always nice to have another one of those. It's heavy, but well-balanced. I'm used to using the 13-inch, and the 16-inch is much heftier.
However, I've only used it for a few moments because of one glaring fault: The trimmer throws all the debris BACK AT THE USER because of the direction of spin on the trimmer head. Even with the guard, I'm getting rocks and dirk kicked back at me I never had to worry about before. I doubt there is a way to reverse the trimmer head direction, either. Kind of disappointed thus far, and may have to rethink other options.

This is a recent purchase, so the trimmer hasnt been used a lot. That being said, it has been great. Starts right up, and of course no messing around with gas, oil, and pull cord. It has a larger guard, which will take getting used to, but in the long run will be appreciated. Bought the tool only, as it will share the 60v batteries already purchased for the mower and blower. Pleased with all!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the second Greenworks tool I’ve bought in the past three weeks. I am happy with the Pro 60v 26” hedge trimmer so the Pro 60V 16” string trimmer replaced my gas 16” trimmer which has been great over the years, but I was just tired of dealing with ethanol related fuel issues, having to drain the pre-mix so not to sit for extended periods of time. The starting and the noise also made me want to go battery power, after using this Pro 60v 16” today for the first time was so nice. It works perfectly, and I never felt the need to use power 2 at all and the variable speed worked great. The guard being wider than my old trimmer is going to take some getting used to as it restricts seeing where the line is cutting, but there is better protection from flying debris. After an hour of trimming there was no loss on the 2.5 battery. Even though it looks heavier and bulkier than my gas trimmer, it is actually lighter and easier to use. Also nice not having the volume up so high while using ear buds, compared to a gas engine. Appearance is a little weird though, I just need to get used to it. But, I’m sold on Greenworks, 60v mower is next.
I would recommend this to a friend!
