Features are great, but one bad point
on June 3, 2023

The only problem I've had is that the string must not have been wound properly at the factory, because one side broke off at the head fairly quickly which required removing the head, the one bad point. The head is extremely hard to remove; I had to wedge the latches open with screwdrivers to get it off. And it was impossible to get back on until I put a little grease on the inside of the case above the latch holes.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
I would recommend this to a friend!

works well, but battery doesn't last long

I purchased this a few weeks ago with the 4.0 battery. It requires high power to really cut st. Augustin. Battery lasts only 30 minutes. Might have to return.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good trimmer but

Good overall, but batteries are overpriced. Would like more specs as well. HP / watts of motor? RPM?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello MoPowa
Thank you for your honest feedback! Batteries are the costliest items to manufacture and ship in any kit. Full kits including a tool, battery, and charger are priced affordably so that consumers can begin building that line of tools and move forward purchasing tool-only units. When you purchase batteries on their own, it is more notable the cost that they carry. We apologize if this is of any inconvenience to you. With no load speed you can expect 6000 / 5000 RPM.
Should you have any further questions please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us on Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934

Posted by: Jewels
from San Antonio, TX

I bought this over a year ago I can never reload the trim. it catches and knots up. I have to keep taking it a part and it won't turn when I need to load it. It's very hard to turn and I cannot find any replacements.
Pros: Environmentally Safe, Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Jewels,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the challenge you are experiencing with your string trimmer. This unit is only compatible with one trimmer head, and we do not have another trimmer head that can physically go on this trimmer. The trimmer head on this unit is made for easy replacement of the string on the spool. We understand that for some new customers this task may seem overwhelming/difficult but once they do it a few times it’s quite easy – as easy as replacing a spool. It is also cheaper and more convenient for customers to rewind the trimmer head because they can use any generic .080” trimmer line(purchased at your local hardware store) and save money on more costly replacement spools. There are two methods in which the trimmer line can be replaced. You will need approximately 15' of trimmer line at .080" inches in diameter. For the first method: Note the hash mark on the knob and the hash mark on the spool cover, while holding the spool cover in place with one hand , turn the knob until the hash mark line up with the hash mark on the spool cover. Then take the trimmer line and feed it through one of the holes in the side of the head until there is an even amount on both sides. Then wind the line into the spool by turning the knob clockwise. If you wish to readjust the line or if the line has been wound too short, push down on the knob and wind it counterclockwise. Be sure to leave about 5 inches of slack on each side of the spool. Second method: Remove the spool cover by simultaneously pushing the two tabs located on side of the spool cover. The cover should spring off, lift the spool out and feed line through hole in the center of the spool until you get an even amount of line on each side. Put the spool back in the trimmer head, making sure that both sides of the line go back into the grooves in the trimmer head, continue to hold the spool in place. Take the spool cover and put it back onto the trimmer, using both hands press down firmly to ensure that the taps lock into place, you can now rotate the knob on the spool clockwise to rewind the line back in making sure to leave the 5 inches of line on each side of the spool. If you are experiencing issues with reloading the string, we would be happy to see how we can help! Please contact us directly through chatbot on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us on Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great tool. I am very happy with the purchase. I had a gas powered trimmer before that could tear through a tree but was very loud and my arms would be numb from the vibration after only a few minutes. This is a dream to operate. It is very quiet and barely vibrates at all. It also has a neck strap to reduce strain on your arms even more. It was a step down in power but it still gets the job done and I look forward to using it every week.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great trimmers. I was a hard sell to convert to a battery trimmer but I love this trimmer. Tall grass doesn't wrap around the trimmer head. I only have this a short time so I can't say how it will work a year from know but so far I'm very happy.
