This trimmer is easy to use and works great. I've used it to take down some tall grass around the house and deck, and also used it to edge my sidewalks and driveway.
The trimmer works better than a gasoline power engine trimmer. It was used one time to trim the yard, and it worked as designed. The battery uses only 1/2 the power indicator for my yard.
I purchased this to trim around my house, dog pen, and trees in my yard. It works great! Lighter and more convenient than my gas trimmer, and almost as powerful, I love the two power settings. The lower power setting is great for normal grass trimming and really saves line from breaking. The higher power setting is great for deeper thicker grass and weeds. I still use my gas trimmer for trimming real high weeds. The battery lasts long enough to trim what I mentioned at the beginning of this review.
After years of frustration with messy and unreliable gas engines and wrestling with long extension cords, we purchased our first battery-powered string trimmer and will not being going back to gas or cords! The Greenworks Pro 60V Brushless String Trimmer is elegant, easy to use, and does the job well. After taking the plunge with the string trimmer and being pleased with the results using it twice to trim/edge an ~1//4 acre lawn, we decided replace our gas mower with a Greenworks 60V 17" Brushless Mower, which is also excellent. We give it 4/5 stars because we've only used the tools three times and can't comment about longer-term reliability. That said, the tool(s) feel solid and well-constructed, despite being lightweight and relatively minimalist compared to gas-powered versions. Shipping was fast and assembly was easy. The batteries charge quickly and last long enough to trim/mow an ~1/4 to 1/3 acre lawn one battery, switched between them, leaving another in reserve. We are happy we bought the attachment capable model as we look forward to continuing to add tools on this 60V platform.
I am super happy with this. I had an older battery powered string trimmer that was pretty weak and only had one string. The first time I fired this trimmer up, it felt like going from a bicycle to a race car! This trimmer has tons of power to cut through this tough Florida grass, whereas the old one would just bounce off of some of these long runners that grow all over. I have a fairly small yard, but I can do the whole yard and still have 50% battery left. This is my fourth Greenworks tool, and it's great they all have interchangeable batteries. I have a 60V Mower, edger, leaf blower and now the string trimmer, and it is so nice not worrying about engines that won't start and the messing with gas and oil. I am a very happy Greenworks customer.
I have used this a couple of time already and I really am pleased. I have also used a tiller attachment and it had plenty of power to till my small garden and a large plot for new grass. I definitely recommend this product.
