[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this in early July 2025. The string trimmer is easy to assemble, directions are clear, and the unit is ergonomic. It starts every time!! (not so with gas-powered trimmers). It cuts very evenly and well, the string is durable and so does not run out very soon, and the "bump" feature to advance more string is very convenient. It's a great garden tool!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2.5 years of ownership and this is easily my favorite GreenWorks product. So much so that I took it to my parent's place and showed it to them, and now my dad has one too! I let a friend borrow it, and he bought one soon after! It's just amazing, no fussing with a tiny little 2-stroke that refuses to idle. No engine screaming in your ear and dumping smelly exhaust all around your head. It's balanced amazingly well with the motor at the head and the battery at the top.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Effective, Powerful
Swing and a miss on this one. Difficult and dirty.

I’m sorry Greenworks, but I hate this thing. I LOVE all of my greenworks tools, but this one makes me angry every time I use it. It’s unbalanced with a battery and is difficult to balance with the shoulder strap. It spins in the wrong direction and spits debris all over your legs. I look like I hit a piñata full of grass every time I use it. It chews through string at an alarming rate. Bumping the trimmer to advance the string causes the trimmer to gouge the grass. Good luck trying to edge with it as it just tears up the lawn. Get one mm too close to the fence when trimming and say good by to half your string as it will suck it all out and wrap around the fence. I hate this thing.
Pros: Quiet, Powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Haven't gotten to use it much yet but seems to be a good choice for me. Easy assembly weight seems balanced. I have to figure out which side to stand on standing on left side I got crap all over me I'll try on right side next time although I'm right handed. only complaint I really have at this stage is why is additional battery almost what I paid for the trimmer, battery and charger? All companies do this do they think we believe it costs them more to sell a battery separate? Lol
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed this to cut paths through my ‘wild’ part of my yard. Tough, long battery life. Not too heavy for this senior. Fits my needs.
Bought this yesterday and gave it a short trial and it worked great lighter than my gas trimmer and much quieter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so happy to have a yard tool i can use without needing any one else to start it for me. It's not too heavy and I am able to do yard work when I want to without depending on husband or son's to start a pull type weedeater. Easy to operate, haven't seen a downside to this yet. Great product. It's quiet, not too awkward.
