[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using for several months. Battery life is great and it works well! One complaint. I'm 5'8", and i feel like i need to lean down for the cutter head to be level with ground. Standing straight holding it, doesn't work well. The gearbox should have a few degrees less on angle, or another 6" on shaft length would fix it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of 3 things I have purchased and they all would get 5 stars
I would recommend this to a friend!

I previously purchased the 60v mower and blower, which are very good. The 60v trimmer is awful. Awkward to handle, the bump feed almost never works, and I had to restring it every 10 minutes. Extremely dissatisfied with the trimmer, I'm going to just give it away if I can't return it. And why is there no customer service email address on the site?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello 60v user.
Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear that you are not overly satisfied with this string trimmer. For the best control and balance, ensure that you hold the trimmer by both the switch handle and the auxiliary handle. Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer/edger in a semicircular motion around you. If possible, guide the grass trimmer/edger to the left to cut. The line will cut as soon as it leaves the guard, and the clippings are thrown away from you. If the grass trimmer/edger is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be feeding properly and it’s possible that the spool just needs to be removed and rewound - this can also affect the balance. We have included two videos below in the hopes they will better improve your experience with the trimmer. Should you have any further questions or warranty needs, contact us through Live Chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline 1-855-345-3934. We would like the opportunity to speak with you to see if we can find a solution.
