[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because I wanted to help my husband out because he works 6 days a week and I know he is tired when he does get a day off. I can’t handle the heavy trimmers and this was perfect for me to use without struggling. The load and go feature was a big plus and this little trimmer has some pretty good power to be so light. It’s definitely a smart choice and I am glad I bought this one because I really don’t think you can go wrong on it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Previously I used a gas trimmer and plug-in electric blower. More often than not, I skipped blowing off the sidewalks because the extension cord was too much of a hassle.
This trimmer and blower combo exceeds the capacity of my previous tools. I am now able to trim the yard around all the garden beds and sidewalks (corner lot) and then blow off the driveway, patio and sidewalks - and still have about 50% capacity left on the battery. The trimmer line included is quite strong as well, and I typically only need to bump feed the line 4-5 times in the process of trimming everything.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought to have more power and string length and it is just perfect for me!! I'm a70 year old woman with 1/2 acre lot, and it is wonderful to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the trimmer does OK along a walk or side walk, but when trimming along landscaping rocks and over rocky terrain the string breaks off often and I have to restring.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello kshan10334. Thank you for reviewing Greenworks 60V String Trimmer. We would like to make some suggestions to improve your experience with the tool. Trimmer line usually breaks because of line crowding. This occurs when the trimmer head is held too close to hard objects that can break the line such as brick, cement, rocks, or fencing. Keeping the line at full extension, and not crowding it, reduces line breakage problems. We suggest cutting with the bare tip of the line because this is the section which moves at the highest speed. Do not let it hit into grass. Ease the line into vegetation, bit by bit from the edge. Line can also get wrapped around thick vegetation and become tangled, breaking the line. Listen to the sound of the machine and when the line slows down; back off out of the grass. The most important part of weed eating is wearing proper eye and ear protection, as well as pants and closed toe shoes. Keep any children and pets away. We hope these suggestions help. If you still have questions or an unresolved issue after going through this troubleshooting guide, or just want to speak to a Greenworks product expert, please start a Live Chat on Greenworks Tools website or contact us by phone at 1-888-909-6757.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this greenworks lawnmower and so far it's great for my yard. I've only had it almost a month.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like the simple and easy selection between speeds over the older 40v model. The trimmer has plenty of power to cut down heavy buildup of skeleton leaf bursage. The quick loading mechanism is a clean way to load the sting too
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received my 16" string trimmer. Provides as much power as 25cc gas trimmer. Perfect for homeowner. I did have to remove the spool cover assembly as the string on one side broke off inside the spool. To remove you have to press a tab on each side of the spool and pull spool off. I couldn't do it without using a screw driver to push in on one side and use my thumb on the other. The tabs are stiff, maybe because of newness.
