I recently switched from gas trimmer to this 60V trimmer and wow! This trimmer packs power, easy to maneuver, and the over the shoulder strap helps take some weight off the back and arms. Very pleased with my trimmer and look forward to using it again!
Almost good as a gas unit. About the same weight with battery (not light) but that's ok as it seems heavy grade. Wish the line feeder was closer to the ground for flush cuts. It seems to run good and enough battery power on lower setting for large yard.
FANTASTIC product. This is now my 4th Greenworks tool on the 60v product line, and it has exceeded my expectations. Makes edging my lawn a breeze and battery lasts longer than expected.
I like greenworks but string feeder is useless. It never works.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello ChipL,
We apologize for any trouble you have encountered and appreciate your feedback on this matter. This is a bump n’ feed unit. The unit must be turned on and you will need to tap the bump knob on the ground to release additional line. Trimmer line of about 1/4" will feed out each time you bump the head. As long the mechanics for the line release are understood and exercise you should have no issues releasing line. We hope this information has been helpful. If you are still experiencing issues with the string trimmer, we would be happy to see how we can help. Kindly visit our website and contact us directly through the customer page for further assistance or speak to a Customer Care agent directly at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
I purchased the PRO 60V 16” with 2.5 ah battery and received it about a week ago. Finally had a chance to use it today and was amazed at the ample power at the lower power setting. I’m very happy with the performance of this trimmer and I’m thrilled that I no longer need to drag a cord around my yard!
After struggling with gas powered trimmers not starting and my arms feeling like they would fall off, I researched my battery powered options. From unboxing to putting the equipment together and charging the battery I was ready to work in a little over an hour. I smiled from ear to ear the whole time! Minimal noise, no smell and with a push of button I got my job done. I'm already looking at the next piece of Greenworks equipment.
