I bought this for my husband to replace his gas weed eater. It works great on bigger stalk weeds. Easy to handle. No need to mix Smelly oil and gas. The leaf blower is powerful and easy to handle. Bought this to replace an electric leaf blower. No need to mess with long extension cords getting caught on objects as you moved about the yard
I've only used this twice so far, but am very happy with it! I've used the budget model corded Greenworks string trimmer for years, but when that died, I wanted to upgrade to cordless. This thing is a little heavy but manageable, and works great on my dense weeds - battery life more than covers my little lot in one go. The string doesn't over-release and get tangled up like the cheaper version did either. My only complaints are that I wish it was waterproof so I could just hose it down to clean, and the battery charger is unexpectedly noisy .
After my first use my arms are exhausted. I used the provide strap but it is not attached to the tool at the center of balance and you need a special wrench to move it which I don't have and they didn't provide. I'm going to work on getting the balance adjusted but it could have come that way out of the box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Noah Hurry,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! Our Designers and Product Developers will occasionally read these review, so we really appreciate it when customers tell us what they think and share their experience with us. we do not recommend modifying any part of the unit; modifying the string trimmer would void the warranty. We do recommend adjusting the handle. This adjustment can provide a better balance between the battery and the base. To adjust the balance of the unit, loosen the screws to move the auxiliary handle up and down the shaft till you are comfortable. Should you require further assistance, please contact Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.
Quiet and clean! Great weed eater, battery is great, the handle is perfect, weight is very well balanced. Haven’t had to swap out the spool yet but it seems like a breeze so I’m not too concerned. The price couldn’t be any better either, very happy with this purchase.
Bought this to get rid of the annoying electric cord and the gas trimmer that would never start. Works great. Very effective on tall, tough grass and weeds. Only complaint is that it is kind of heavy. Also, I wish they had a bag or case for storage. Will never go back into the box. Overall very good.
