I used gas trimmers all my life and decided to purchase this 60v 16” trimmer. Glad I did, this trimmer does all of my yard(1.5ac) with a full charge. Highly recommend to try it out. Thanks Greenworks
I have had this string trimmer for about month now and everything seems to be going great. The trimmer works well around the house and other structures, as well as mowing down tall grasses and weeds on my property. The trimmer has the power to accomplish what I need it to do, the battery life is reasonable, and switching batteries with a fresh one (sold separately) is quick and easy. I have a large property, a few acres, and I can go through a couple batteries/hours before I take a break to let things recharge - no fatigue from devise usage, which is nice due to having to walk up and down WV hills.
I would love it if Greenworks made some of its own attachments, like a light brush clearing attachment (unless they do and I'm just not seeing it). I tried to use a third party attachment that is on the certified list, but for some reason I couldn't get it to work and couldn't determine the malfunction. But the trimmer does alright with tall grasses and weeds. I just need to find a solution for more effectively trimming thicker grasses and other more dense plants in that medium range before moving on to actual brush clearing tools for the extremely dense plants and wood.
Bought because it was attachment capable and it didn’t work with brand new TrimmerPlus edging attachment. The motor was not strong enough it could not make the blade spin.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Juang,
I am sorry to hear that your unit did not work with the TrimmerPlus attachments. However, our 60v line has been tested and confirmed to work with TrimmerPlus. If the only issue is with an attachment we advise to contact the manufacturer of the attachment. If you would like us to look into this issue in more detail with you, please do not hestiate to contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or by email to info@greenworkstools.com.
I've only used it twice but, because I keep being bugged to rate it, okay. So far, so good. If a product could be accurately rated based on only two uses, I'd rate it a 5. If customer support was good, I'd also rate it a 5. But customer support is nearly nonexistent. I've called twice, once for this product (90 minutes on hold for a quick question) and once for another product (60 minutes on hold). To my mind, that doesn't qualify as "customer service".

Purchased a month ago, impressed with 60volt system and will use with my extended hedge trimmer that is also 60 volt. Strongly recommend to everyone considering a battery powered unit!!
