Good weedeater. Has plenty of power and easy to re-string but terrible battery life. It normally lasts about 30 minutes on low/regular. It would be a great weedeater if it had better battery life.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Barrigas,
Thank you for posting a review for this string trimmer. Sorry to hear you were not happy with the overall runtime when using the 2.5Ah battery with this tool . One of the many benefits of the Greenworks 60V platform is the interchangeability of the batteries. If additional batteries are purchased in a combo pack (tool + battery) for another Greenworks 60V tool, you will have an extra battery that would provide you with the additional run time. If you wish to discuss your concerns about the run time you are getting with this string trimmer, please Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.
I have a small property, but haven’t run out of power yet. The guard limits the string length, which I wouldn’t mind being a little bit longer, but that’s the closest I can get to a complaint. The unit is light weight and well balanced.
Never used a string trimmer before, was a rolling edger girl all my life. This is so easy to use. Wonderful for anything growing vertically that you want gone. Will still edge with my roller though.
The thing cuts great, two power levels though I just leave it at the highest as the battery only sucks 1 of 4 bars as long as I need it for. Don’t have to worry about it starting and the instant feed to reload the string is a breeze. Great product!
